Not Alone

Chapter 3

While heading to biology I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Jacob and Aaron standing there.

"Umm, Violet?" Jacob said slowly.

"What is it Jacob?" 

"Shawn isn't here today." He sighed.

"What? It's his second day here and he was perfectly fine yesterday, ugh I guess i will go on over after school." Would Shawn really not show up so he wouldn't have to see me? Last night didn't go that badly that he can't even show his face. 

School finally let out and I quickly walked towards Shawn's house. When I got there I was mixed with anger and frustration. If he doesn't answer his front door I will kill him. When I knocked on his door, his mom answered.

"Oh hi, Violet right? What can I do for you?" She had Shawn's eyes, damn it why must Shawn be the only thing I think about anymore.

"Yes, is Shawn home? He was in school today and I wanted to make sure he was okay."

"He said he felt sick so he stayed home, you can go talk to him if you need to he is in the basement." I nodded as she pointed me towards the basement. As I walked down the steps I heard music and could smell pizza. For just moving in, they finished setting up the basement pretty fast. At the end of the stairs I turned into what looked like a theater room to see a perfectly fine Shawn dancing around like an idiot. Like a cute idiot though. I laughed sorta loud, Loud enough for him to hear me. He turned and saw me and stopped moving completely.

"What are you doing here? How did you get down here?" He seemed kinda mad but I ignored it.

"Your mom told me you were down here, you weren't in school today and I just wanted to make sure it didn't have anything to do with yest...." But before I could finish he stopped me.

"Please just act like it didn't happen, I rather not talk about it. Can you leave? Thanks" His words slightly hurt but I understood where he was coming from.

"No I'm not leaving. Why not talk about it? There's no reason why we shouldn't. Look I know I'm not pretty or anything I just wanted to know why you tried to kiss me."

"I didn't try to kiss you" , he said without looking at me. 

"That's bullshit", I'm beyond pissed off right now, you go and try to kiss me then pretend like it didn't happen.

"You wanna know what's bullshit? You thinking that I would ever kiss y.." He stopped himself, but it was too late. I knew exactly what I need to do, leave. Tears began to build up in my eyes as I ran to the stairs. But before I could get away a hand grabbed my arm and held me back.

"I'm sorry Violet...I.." I was able to loosen his grip on me and run up the stairs to the front door and get out before he could catch me. I swung open my front door and ran upstairs to my bedroom. I began to ball my eyes out and punch the wall. I knew he didn't like me why would I let Jacob convince me that he liked me. Now I'm back down to only having one friend, Jacob. I looked at my phone seeing that I have a text from Jacob.

Hey, is everything alright? I saw you run out of Shawn's house, I will be over in a minute.

I waited until I heard the front door open and I ran down the stairs. I saw Jacob standing there and all I could do was fall into his arms and start crying again. We went into the living room and decided to take my mind off of things by watching a movie. I was still in Jacob's arms, it felt good to at least have someone that could get my mind off of things. Jacob has been there for me since I was first being bullied.

"What happened?" Jacob turned towards me.

"I went over to ask why he wsan't in school and he ended up saying how he thinks the idea of kissing me is bullshit and then I left." Jacob looked at me in disgust.

"He said what? I fucking swear him kissing you would be an honor, next time I see him, we are going to have a problem." Jacob looked at me in a way he's never looked at me before. I really hope he just acting. I was wrong. He began to move in closer to me, until our lips met. There wasn't a spark but I went with it, but once he tried slipping his tongue in there was a loud banging at the door. We stopped and looked at each other confused. I got up and walked the door, when I opened it, it was the last person I wanted to see at the moment.
