When I Lost You, I Lost Myself

Chapter 18

I put on my white sleeve, put on my black music shack shirt. I put my winter coat, scrunched up the sleeves to my elbows and walked out of my house. The walk felt like forever, it seemed like I was walking to nowhere.

When I got inside the store Selena was already in there, she hugged me.
"Sorry Harry was kinda a jerk"
"Whatever" I hugged her back, "It isn't that he hung out with her, but he didn't even tell me he was ditching, he just did it. He's dumb"
"No no no Tay. He isn't dumb, he doesn't know about Emma and Stephanie"
Is she serious? Why is she defending him against me? "Why were you next to her in class anyway?"
"She was giving me the load down on Stephanie. She got a week of ISS, and she even has a black eye" She squealed. I laughed.
"Taylor the super bitch" She smirked at me.
"I like that name" I said as I took a seat behind the check out counter.
"I hope when I get my phone back I have no text messages"
"What, why?"
"So I can forget about dumb cute boys"
"That make you smile? Taylor you have to at least talk to him about the whole situation. I mean you can be rude, but that should be after he's rude to you"

She lost her mind.
"Like ditching me for a bully? Selena, Emma has hurt me before, she isn't always nice and I don't want my crush ditching me for her. That's rude enough" I crossed my arms.
"He doesn't know about her being friends with Stephanie. Tay trust me on that" She rubbed my shoulder "Just let him explain"
"Why would I want to hear that he forgot about me? You don't get it. You can get any boy you want and I can't even get one"

"So why would you let him walk away?"
"Because he isn't the one" Ouch. If he was there he might've got a little hurt. I didn't mean what I said, or maybe I did. Ugh I don't know, I barely know Harry so I can't make a judgement. "I take that back sorry"

I rested my head on her shoulder and she just hugged me.
"Why do things need to be difficult?"
"Work things out. Don't push him away. It's just a bad situation"

A few minutes later

"Look I have to go, I'll come over tonight, okay?" I just nodded my head as she walked out of the shack, and I watched someone walk in. Someone I wasn't ready to see.
