An Accidental I Love You

Seven

I run in the direction of the locker room, nails digging into the palms of my skin.

What the hell are you doing Andy.

When I get to the door, I stop- not sure if I want, or even am prepared to see what would be on the other side. I take a deep breath before slowly grabbing the handle and opening it, seeing what the scene had to offer me.

Nobody seems to notice me, their eyes glued onto Andy, who's yelling at the body that's standing- watching him, "I told you- not to talk to her again." He says, punching him across the face.. again, giving a low chuckle, "You don't listen- you never fucking listen." He punches him in the stomach, where he'd slammed him the day prior, making him slightly wince, but not move from his position. "Are you not going to fight back? Say something god damn it! If you want her so badly why wont you fight for her Jullian," He yells, pushing him back.

"Oh so that's what you're doing, Myers... fighting for her. Are you sure you aren't just fighting because you're scared I'm going to 'take her away' again?" He spits, blood dripping from his nose but he doesn't seem to care, pushing Anthony back lightly, a grin plastered on his beaten face.

Take me away from him? Again?

"You know damn well why I'm doing this Wilder," He snarls, "Apparently you didn't get the message 3 years ago, so I'm going to have to resend it now," he says, raising his fist. Just as he's about to punch him again... I slam the door shut.

"What the hell are you doing Andy?" I yell, looking at the scene in front of me, everyone falling silent. Anthony lowers his arm by his side, going quiet.

"Elle it's not-"

"Not what, not what I think? Get mad at Jullian all you want but you really have to do- this? I thought so much better of you Andy I thought- I thought you could at least control yourself." I snap, making him look down, a hand running through his hair.

"He wasn't leaving you alone-" 

"So that gives you the excuse to go and pick a fight Andy? Really? How mature of you," I scoff, him taking a deep breath.

"Don't you get it Elle? He's hurting you- he's trying to hurt you," He raises his voice, 

"Him? No Andy. I'm pretty sure we all know who is hurting me right now. I was fine, I told you I had it under control but you still continue to step in like it's your problem. It's not Andy, can't you get that?"

"It is my problem! He's trying to hurt you again! And when he does you let him near you?"

"You told me to listen to what he had to say, so I'm trying to. And now, you're going to have a problem with it?"

"You know what I meant by that."

"Frankly enough I don't Andy," I scoff, sighing.

"All I'm saying is that he's embarrassing you Elle. Look at what you're doing, you're protecting him, the one person who hurt you. Next thing you know he's going to have you all wrapped around his finger again then leave you like he did 3 years ago, why are you letting him get to you so easily?" He yells, making a pit form in my stomach. I begin biting the inside of my lip and pause, looking to the ground.

"Get out."

I look at him to see guilt fill his eyes as he begins to take a step forward, "Elle didn't mean it-"

"Just get out Andy," I say backing away from him, opening the door, "everyone get the fuck out. I don't care if this is the boy's locker room just leave," As everyone starts to leave Andy stands there, watching me, "are you deaf?! I said get out."
