*3 DAYS LATER*
Ugh! Nonstop questions about Nate, like jeez Im just a person. I stayed up all last night thinking-thinking-thinking. I eventually fell asleep but it was so late that I had to peel myself out of bed.
I got up, went to the bathroom, and took a long look at myself in the mirror.
I put my hands on my brown/hazel hair that goes down past my butt. I looked into my hazel eyes, and I stared down my thick figure. Ugly. Ugly. Fat. Ugly. Fat. Fat. I sighed as I took my clothes off and got into the shower.
I made sure the water was hot before stepping in. Showering helped me get my mind of things.. I began to sing Sweater Weather.
When I was done, I went to my closet to pick out an outfit. After long judgement and thinking, I finally figured out what I was going to wear.
I picked out some high waisted black light washed shorts, with my white short that says 'MEOOW' on it in black print. I picked out my black vans. I dried myself off, lotioned myself and put all the clothes on. With underwear and a bra of course.
I put my hair in a high, messy bun because I wanted to show off my infinity tattoo on the back of my neck. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I felt like I actually looked presentable.
I grabbed my bookbag, phone and headphones, then ran out my room down the stairs and saw 7 faces impatiently staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Your late." Corrine, Sam, Jacob, Cat, Justin, Edward, and Owen all said in unison.
"Oops, sorry. Ya'll know Im not a morning person. Well, no time to waste lets go!" I yelled marching to the door. Slightly relieved that nobody asked me to eat breakfast.
*SKIP CAR RIDE. AND SKIP TO LUNCH*
I was eating an apple and having a conversation with Owen when I was interrupted.
"Yeah, I didn't even notice there was a wall in front of me till I-" I was interrupted.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" Nate asked.
"Nope." I said and turned around back to Owen.
I opened my mouth to speak again but was interrupted again, but not by Nate. Owen whispered to me "Give the boy a chance."
"Why? Remember what he did?" I whispered.
"He's changed, just talk to him." He whispered.
"Okay fine." I said getting up and walking away with Nate.
He pulled me into an empty classroom. Imma fight a hoe in 5 seconds if he don't let go of my arm.
"Why am I here?" I asked annoyed.
"I needed to explain to you how sorry I am." He said.
I studied him closely. Slouched figure, messy hair, bags under his eyes. He looked wrong, like something was missing. He looked like he meant everything he was saying.
"Go on.." I said.
"I was being blackmailed, so I was forced to go out with you. At first I was like why am I doing this. But then I really began to learn to love you. I still do love you, and I know I messed up.. But please forgive me. I need you. Riley I need you." He said.
"I-I don't know." I said. "I really don't know.." I said getting quieter.
" I don't know either. But we don't have to know." He said and he smashed his lips into mine. I was so shocked but the entire situation sent sparks down my spine, so I kissed back. Our lips moved in sync and I loved it. Then I realized what I was doing. Tears filled my eyes as I ran out of the empty room and through the cafeteria, past my friends who were calling me name, to the house and to my room.
I closed my door behind me, and slid my back down it. I put my head in my hands and began to sob uncontrollably. Then I realized that after lunch there was 1 period left and everyone would be home in 15 minutes. I just crawled on my bed and into a fetal position and continued to cry. I was so conflicted.
Why did I kiss him? Why did I like it? Why do I feel like this? I don't understand.. I just began to cry harder, then I heard a knock at the door.
"L-Leave m-m-e alone." I managed to say between sobs.
*EDWARD'S P.O.V*
I saw Riley run through the cafeteria and out the school doors. I was worried. What happened?
I went to last period, and when the bell rang I ran out of the school. I ran to my car and drove off. I guess Owen, Cat and Justin have to walk because I need to talk to Riley.
When I got home, I jumped out of the car and into the house. I sprinted up the stairs and I could already hear the sobs.
I got to Riley's door and knocked. I heard her say 'leave me alone' but I don't want to leave her in this position. So I walked in. She is sitting on her bed in the fetal position.
"He kissed me." She said sniffling.
"Thats bad.." I said.
"Yes!" she said beginning to cry again.
So I did my Edward thing.. I got into her bed and she snuggled into my chest. She had some of my shirt in her fist, I guess she was in pain. But I didn't mind.
"Please don't leave." She said.
"Never." I said more to myself than Riley.
Eventually her breathing slowed down and she stopped crying and fell asleep. She looked adorable. I pulled her in closer and fell asleep as well..
