Someone Better

Chapter 7

Mark's pov

"Where is he right now?" I asked not really understanding.

"H-He is right in front of me" her eyes were glued to the floor and her cheeks were a red as a tomato.

"What? You like me?" I am in shock not because Lisa actually likes me by because I never thought a girl like her would ever like a guy like me.

Lisa is considered popular in the sense that she is always invited to all of the parties. She never gets judged for wearing something that people wouldn't normally wear. If someone would ask me to describe Lisa in one word it would be 'perfect' I know no one is perfect but would be her.

Lisa is the kind of person that if you called her a 2am she wouldn't be mad, she would stay up and talk until you didn't want to talk anymore. She is a great friend, her only issue is that she cares too much. Not in a bad way but she just cares about everyone else so much that she sometimes forgets to take care of herself.

"Yeah I like you, but you are in love with Alex so I don't even have a chance."

"Who said you don't have a chance?" I questioned

I just realized we have spent about thirty minutes on the floor with me crying because I couldn't have the girl I 'loved'. My heart dropped when I realized that I felt a wave of guilt come over me. What was I supposed to do?

"Well you never seemed interested.." I kissed her before she could finish her sentence. I don't really know what came over me and honestly I don't really want to know but, feeling her lips against mine felt right.

Lisa pulled away and just looked at me. I feel like I have done something wrong but then again she didn't stop me from kissing her.

"Do you like me?" She questioned

"I don't know." I honestly don't really know my emotions are all over the place.

"Oh" She sounded breath less and like she was going to cry at any moment.

I pulled her into a hug. I never wanted to let go. I loved smelling the sweet vanilla scent that she always wears. Her lips were very close to my neck and a wave of hormones came over me. I didn't know what to do really I felt bad if I moved away so I just stayed where I was.

I felt really guilty. Lisa doesn't need someone like me. Someone that doesn't even know what they want.

"I know you like me but I also know you love her. All I want for you is happiness." Lisa whispered while she pulled away from the hug.

"I am so sorry." I couldn't look her in eye because I knew if I did I would cry.

"N-No it's perfectly fine. Don't worry about me I'm going to be ok." She looked like she was going to cry.

I was startled by hearing someone walking behind me.

"Hey, are you two alright?" I immediately realized the person the voice belongs to.

"Yeah we are fine. What are you doing here?" Lisa questioned.

I finally looked up from the floor to see Alex standing in front of us. I could feel my breathing becoming uneven. She was talking about why she was back at the school, then I just couldn't take it anymore. I got up from the floor and started walking I didn't say anything to either of them, I just needed to get away.

I reached the exit of the school and stopped walking. I needed to get my breathing back to normal. I feel like I did a few moments ago like my heart just broke.

I feel used by the girl I 'loved' so much. I felt like sitting down and crying until I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Everything that Lisa has told me I started to question.

I needed to get home. I wanted to lay on my bed and sleep this day away. Just yesterday I was so happy that Alex had kissed me but now all those feelings are completely gone.

I arrived home only to realize my parents were already home and I knew both of them would ask me how my day went. I didn't want to talk or even have the conversation about why I am in a bad mood because I know I would be told to 'get over it'.

I some how ran up the stairs without being noticed. I reached my room and could feel instant comfort just by being able to lay in my bed. I heard my phone going crazy with messages. I looked at the screen only to see that Alex was trying to talk. I turned off my phone.

I took off my shoes and slipped into my bed. Once my head hit the pillow I felt my eyes getting heavy.
