Secrets (Magcon Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

"Prom?" I say

"Yes prom." He says

"Why me? Why me when there's dozens of other pretty girls waiting to be with you?"

"Because I like you Avery. I think you're beautiful just the way you are. You're not afraid to say what you think and your not fake. That's why."

"I don't know if I can forgive you, you ruined my life Taylor."

"I know what I did was stupid. I was a kid thinking about popularity. I didn't mean to call you those names. I am so sorry."

*Flashback to 7th Grade~Avery POV*

I was sitting on the bench in front of Gulfport Elementary School. I was waiting for my best friend to finish baseball practice so we could go to my house to hang out. Taylor and me are very close, and I love him. I admit I have a crush on him but he will never like me like that because were too close already. He's like my brother. I see him coming out with his baseball team.

"Hey Taylor! You want to come over?" I shout. The baseball team starts looking and laughing at Taylor as if they thought I was hilarious or something.

"Damn Taylor" one of the baseball players said. "Looks like you already have a booty call!" All of them start laughing. Including Taylor.

"Who is this, Taylor?" Another boy asks.

"Psh. I don't know" Taylor says with a smirk on his face. "She follows me around and she thinks I'm like her best friend or something. She's a fat weirdo and she doesn't leave me alone." I feel tears in my eyes about to fall but I hold them back.

"Hey swine!" A boys says. "Why don't you leave Taylor alone, and go along to your house. Go jogging actually. You need it." All of them start laughing and walking away. I can't hold back the tears. No matter how hard I try. The more I try, the more tears come out. As I'm walking home I think about Taylor. I hate him. I hate everything about him now. My thoughts get interrupted by a buzzing sound in my back pocket. I look at my phone, and it's a text from Taylor.

"Avery, I'm soooooo sorry. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me, I will never do It again I promise. I'll tell the boys about us." Is what the text says.

"Don't even bother to tell them. Live your new popular life without me. It seems like I'm holding you back anyways. Goodbye Taylor." That was the last text I have ever sent him. We never spoke since. Now, I have no one to talk to. No one to hang out with, and no one to tell all my secrets to. I didn't have any secrets honestly. I'll say that I guess I've been "living the life". I have both parents, I'm an only child, no one has passed away in my family, yet. I guess I'm used to being alone, I always have and always will.

*Present time ~ Avery POV*

"You ruined my life Taylor." I say. "Do you know how self conscious I was about myself?! I cried myself to sleep every night because I didn't have my best friend anymore. I wasn't able to wear sleeveless tops and shorts because I didn't have the confidence! And it's all because of you!" My face is turning red because of how mad I was. Here they come again. The tears. They're not holding back. I can't control my feelings anymore.

"Avery, I know, I don't deserve you. I don't expect you to forgive me. But I do want you to know that I feel so terrible for what I did to you. I don't know how I did it because I used to have a big crush on you, but I didn't admit it because I was too scared that you didn't like me back. Please come to prom with me. We can start all over, become friends, and maybe more than that later on."

I calm myself down a little bit. I know I still like him, but he did the wrong thing by bringing up the past to me and it made me too emotional to respond to his invitation. "I'll think about it" I say. And that's all I say. I walk towards my front door and walk inside my house. I turn to see Taylor. He's looks at me. He looks like he felt melancholy. I close the door and think about if I want to start over my relationship with the guy that made my life miserable in my school years when it was supposed to be the best time of my life.
