Bad Boy

Chapter 9: Drowning

            It's been about 2 days since what happened with Liam at Harrison Park. And 2 days since I've talked to Dallas. No matter how many times he's texted my phone... or told me to call him. I just can't. I can't shake the pain that I saw in Liam's eyes. Or the way he balled his fist to hide his emotions. I can't shake the feeling of the kiss he left on my forehead. I can't shake the feelings I began to develop for him or the pain that I feel now. I've done nothing but go to school and come home. No thought involved. Not once has he tried to approach me or even look in my direction. I'm drowning in my thoughts. 

             I look out my window, and all I see is rain. Even when the sun is shining at its brightest. 

*Phone dings*

***TEXT MESSAGE***

Dallas: " Y/N, answer me."

Dallas: " It's been 2 days."

Dallas: " Come on."

Dallas: "Fine."

***TEXT MESSAGE OVER***

*Morning after*

            I dragged myself out of bed and did what I did every other day. I woke up the same feeling of regret and sadness. I regret ever getting close to Dallas. He ruined something that I could've had. For no reason at all. 

MOM: " Goodmorning Honey...", she said with worry in her voice.

Y/N: " Goodmorning", I said with the same robotic voice that I used every day. 

MOM: " Do you want anything to eat?". She pushed my favorite Greek yogurt in front of me.

Y/N: "No"

MOM: " Honey, please". Her expression dropped.

Y/N: " I have to go". I picked up my keys and gave her a weak smile before turning to leave. I stepped outside and saw Annelie. 

Annelie: " Y/N, please get in the car. You've been walking to school for like the past 3 days"

Y/N: " Whatever". I stepped into the passenger side, shut the door and stared out the window. I watched the leaves fall gently from the trees. I lose myself in my thoughts once again. The little memories that Liam and I shared played through my head over and over again. Everything that I did wrong played through my mind over and over again. Never stopping to give me a break. Before I could even realize it, I was at school.

Annelie: " Listen Y/N, you can't stay like this forever. They're just guys. And as far as I'm concerned, you and Dallas were never really a thing, and you and Liam never even admitted that you liked each other." She looked at me is if I were being ridiculous.

Y/N: " Shut the hell up Annelie and stop acting like you could understand what I'm going through. Just leave me the fuck alone." I shot her a glare and quickly got out the car. 

***ANNELIE'S POV***

            I've never seen her like this before. She's never said anything like that to me with such pain in her voice and such seriousness in her tone. All the years that I've been best friends with her, I've never seen her so upset. I got out the car and looked around and saw Dallas standing against the wall with his friend, Greyson. 

Annelie: " Winston!" He lowered his head towards me and his eyebrows furrowed.

Dallas: " You don' t call me by my last name." he spat.

Annelie: " If you couldn't tell by now, I don't give two flying fucks. Now can you come over here? I need to talk to you".

Dallas: " What about?"
