Unexpected Love

Chapter Sixteen

I'm waiting outside of this classroom for him. Every time I've tried to get near him today he heads in the other direction. This is the only way I'll get a chance to talk to him alone.

The bell rings and I search through the crowd for him. There! He's talking to William as they pass through the doors. I grab his arm and he looks back at me. "Chris, please. Just five minutes."

He looks over at William and tells him to go ahead without him. He sighs before looking at me and nods his head. I pull him back into the classroom he just left so we could have some privacy. "What's up Eva?" I look at his face and see the marks from the fight. I don't like seeing them. I try to move closer to him, but he takes a step back.

"You've been ignoring me, why?" He looks at the floor instead of my face. "Been busy, bus stuff," he says and I know he's lying.

"Busy? Yet you've had time to go to parties, to get into fights and to... to hook up with those bimbos. Just stop lying to me. What's wrong?"

He laughs, but it's cold. "Is little Eva jealous? No, that can't be right. I mean you ARE with Jonas. Speaking of that shithead, how's his face? Fucked it up pretty bad." He looks proud of himself.

"I haven't talked to him so I don't know. And for the last time, I'm not dating him. You know we broke up a while ago." He runs his hands through his hair and takes another step back from me.

"I don't know what kind of sick game your playing Eva, but I'm done. That's why I've been ignoring you. I'm over this shit." I'm hurt, but I try not to let him see. So he's just done with me? Did he feel nothing between us?

"Fine. I should have known better, after all you are just a cheating fuckboy! You don't want me anymore, whatever. Go have fun with your penetrator groupies. But you can't just go around beating up whoever you want because you feel like it!"

For a brief second it seemed like he was hurt when I called him a fuckboy, but I don't care. He's being an asshole. I needed to lash out at him. I'm angry and hurt so if I can make him feel the way I do, even just for a second, then good.

"For no reason?! Fucking hell, Eva! I fought him for you!" He screams and turns away from me. He's not making any sense.

"What's that supposed to mean? You beat him up for me?" I take a step forward not caring if I'm making him uncomfortable. He looks me in the eyes and licks his lips. I don't want to, but I look at his lips. I miss them. I miss him. No, stay strong! I fold my arms and lift my chin up.

"He was saying some nasty stuff about you. I overheard him and Isak was laughing. I called him out and he stepped up to me. I told him to back off, but he shoved me so I punched him."

He continues to say,"I never wanted to fight Isak, but he tried to jump me from behind when I knocked Jonas to the ground. I was defending myself."

I don't know if I should believe him. "What was he saying about me?" Chris shakes his head, but I need to know. "Tell me!"

"He said you were a slut! That you would let anyone fuck you if they gave you compliment. He started talking about how you were in bed and some other stuff. It pissed me off! He was talking shit on you in front of everyone, but a few days ago he was kis-  forget it."

Jonas said that about me? That doesn't seem right. Yeah we broke up, but we were still cool with each other. Unless... unless he was mad that I wouldn't get back together with him. Shit! How could he do that to me? Was he that petty? And Chris stood up for me? I don't understand boys. None of this made sense to me.

"What were you going to say? What was a few days ago?" Chris clenches his fist and closes his eyes. "Nothing, doesn't matter. That's what happened, Mohn. Don't believe me then go ask him.. I need to go." He turns to leave, but I have more to say.

"Wait, Chris! We aren't done talking yet...by the way thank you for sticking up for me. I really appreciate that. I didn't think Jonas would ever do something like that to me...There is something I want to say though. I don't think we should hook up anymore. It was nice while it lasted, but it's over. Things are...complicated and it's better this way." 

I'm the one looking at the floor now. "It probably doesn't matter to you and we haven't seen each other lately, but I just wanted to clear things up."

"Fine by me. After all, I am JUST a fuckboy. You wanna be with him, that's your choice. Just don't come running to me when he hurts you again." After that he stormed off and my eyes started to water.

Don't cry! No. I wouldn't cry over some jerk, instead I need to focus on my anger. That's how I'll get over him. Speaking of anger, I needed to find Jonas. I was going to give him a piece of my mind and tell him to stay away from me for good. Fuck Chris and fuck Jonas!
