Choices

Chapter 24

I walked into school. I saw people staring at me. I ignored it. Nash went off to class. Becca was still by my side.

"Why are they staring?" Becca asked me.

"I have no clue." I walked to my first hour. The day was boring until lunch.

At lunch, I sat at my normal table. Alone because Hayes and Nash were sitting with friends. I saw Lindsay in a cast, sitting at the same table as Nash. I didn't care. I sat there eating lunch.

A couple of people that I knew but never talked to came and sat by me.

"Haley, are you a part of MagCon?" They asked.

"No, why?"

"Because you're like famous now. And everyone says you are joining MagCon?"

"Well known. As far as I know of, I'm not part of MagCon." They all shrugged and walked away. I finished eating and walked into the hallway. I saw Nash sitting there with Lindsay. They were holding hands and hugging each other. What? Was I seeing this correctly? Again? Question after question repeated in my head. They kissed and Nash started laughing. He looked around and his bright blue eyes met mine and turned a dark grey color.

"Haley-" He started.

"No. Don't even. We're done. For good." I felt tears well up in my eyes, but I forced them away. I couldn't show this in from of him.

"Whatever, bitch." Nash stated solidly. I stood there. I felt like knives tore me open, like I'd been set on fire, like I was shot. I turned away. I headed straight for the office.

"Ma'am, I don't feel well." I told the secretary, Mrs. Lawrence.

"Okay. Sign the paper and you may leave." She pushed her glasses back up her nose, not asking a question, as if she knew what happened. There were cameras all around this school so I wouldn't be surprised if she did see. I half walked and walk ran to my car. I felt the tears coming back. I wave of sobs came out of me. I turned the car on, and drove off.

I turned the radio on loud, hoping it would sidetrack me from the real world. I gripped the wheel right and drove. I stopped at a red light. I checked both ways. The light turned green and drive when it was my turn. BAM! I was screaming. My car was spinning. I was bleeding. I felt dizzy. I fell unconscious, unsure what was happening.
