Head over Heels - A Wesley Stromberg ( Emblem3 ) Fanfic

Chapter 49

Today was Monday and I was not in the mood to go to school. This was the first time I'm seeing Wes since that night, but it was the third week of school, my mom wouldn't let me stay home. I slowly picked myself up and got dressed in sweatpants and a t shirt. I didn't even care what I looked like...there was no point of looking nice anyway. I looked at myself in the mirror, bags formed under my eyes. I've been crying ever since I caught Wes cheating. He still has been trying to get in contact with me, but I don't even want to hear his voice. I'm done with him.

I brushed out my long hair and put it up in a really messy bun before brushing my teeth. I slipped my feet into a pair of black flip flops and walked out of my room.

I walked downstairs and saw my dad sitting on the couch. I froze in place, realizing that he was right...he was right all along. He turned his head to look at me from the TV and he smiled, "good morning." I just half-smiled at him as I grabbed an apple. I checked the time and realized I had to leave for school in about a half hour, I groaned to myself. Now he's going to talk to me about it and tell me 'I told you so'. I was about to walk upstairs when my dad said my name. I stopped on the stairs, not even turning around. "Come here," he demanded nicely as I rolled my eyes and turned around, walking in his direction. I plopped down on the other couch and just stared at the apple in my hand.

"Are you okay?," he asked me after a few moments of silence and I quickly snapped back, "no, do I look okay to you? I caught him cheating with the last person I ever expected it to be, of course I'm not okay, I'm hurt." I had to stop myself because I knew I was about to start crying, and I didn't want my dad seeing me like that. He spoke after a minute of silence, "come with me to New York for a little while. Your aunt, my sister, hasn't seen you since you were a baby, you probably won't remember her, but she wants to see you and your sister." I immediately shook my head, "no, I don't want to go anywhere with you," I snapped as he just slowly began nodding his head, not flinching even in the slightest from my comment, "well if you change your mind, I'm leaving next weekend and coming back the weekend after that." I quickly stood up and began walking up the stairs as I responded, "well I'm not going to change my mind so stop talking about it."

I checked the time to see we still had about 20 minutes before we had to leave so I knocked on Emily's door; when I got no response, I opened it. "Emily, wake up, we're leaving in 20 minutes," I informed her as she groaned and turned over, checking the time on her phone. She waved me off as she nodded a little as her way of saying 'alright I'm awake'. I sat on my bed and took a deep breath, preparing myself for a rough day ahead of me.

I stepped into third period, walking straight to my seat. "Are you okay?," Rachel asked me as I shyly looked up towards her, but I placed my index finger over my lips to keep them quiet. I looked past them to take a peek over at Shaina, who was, of course, staring at me already. She wasn't glaring at me though, she almost seemed happy. I gave her the dirtiest look I could've possibly ever given someone before whispering to Rachel and Liz, "I'll text you guys." They both nodded as they reached for their phones in their bags. I began a new message:

Me: So, Wes cheated on me over the weekend with Shaina.

I heard a slight gasp come from Liz's direction as she quickly texted me back:

Liz: Omg are you lying? please tell me you're lying!

Rachel: Why the hell would he do that?!

Me: I'm not lying. But I don't really want to talk about it, just wanted to get it off my chest.

I looked over at them as they both nodded and Rachel mouthed, 'I'm so sorry' as Liz gave me a really apologetic look. I gave them both a fake smile, not really in the smiling kind of mood. I turned towards the teacher as he began talking about a new topic we were going to be learning as I immediately zoned out.

Now was the hardest part. I have fourth, fifth AND sixth period with Wes. Great, can I shoot myself now? I knew he was gonna try and talk to me, and what made everything worse is that we sit next to each other in fourth period. I'm almost thinking about cutting class, or going to the nurse. But I can't run away from my problems my whole life. I took a deep breath as I stepped through the door, seeing Wes in his normal seat. The second I stepped through the door, his eyes were on mine, as if he was waiting for me to come in. He quickly got up from his chair and walked over to me, "Jenn, can we talk please? I swear to you, it's not what it looked like." I just walked past him as I felt the burning sensation in the bridge of my nose. Don't cry don't cry don't cry. The bell rang again, the sign that everyone should now be in their next class by now. I sat down as Wes sat beside me and I took my hair down from the bun I had it in so I could make a barrier between us with my hair. I took many deep breaths, my stomach twisting into millions upon millions of knots. It hurt seeing him again, like someone took a knife and stabbed me a thousand times in every part of my body.

The period went by slower than I ever thought it could and as soon as the bell rang, Wes tried talking to again, "babygirl please talk to me." My feet stopped moving the second he said that; that really pissed me off. I turned towards him and got in his face, "excuse me? Don't ever call me babygirl again. You cheated on me with the one girl I'd thought you never even think about being with again and then you call me babygirl and think it's okay?" He started shaking his head, "no, Jenn you don't understand, I didn't cheat on you, she came on me! I wouldn't ever hurt you, don't you know that?" I went to say something back to him but I couldn't as I got choked up and the tearing started forming in my eyes. I wiped them away as I quickly as I could, "yeah, okay, that's what they all say. Whatever, I'm done with you. You can take her back now and have her whenever you want without hiding it behind my back." I quickly walked out of the room as Wes called out my name but I was already out of the room before he could catch up to me. I was crying and I felt every single pair of eyes burning holes through my body. I went straight to the nurses office and called my dad. I don't know why but I did, and I asked him if he could pick me up. He immediately said yes and told me he'd be here in less than 10 minutes.

I sat in one of the chairs with a tissue, constantly cleaning up the tears that kept on running down my cheeks. I saw him step through the door as I stood up and hugged him. Once again, I don't know why, but I hugged him, for the first time in my life, and I've never felt more safe in someone's arms...other than whenever I hugged Wes. Wes always made me feel safe, even more safe than the blanket that kept you hidden from the monsters under your bed when you were little. But I hugged my dad tighter than I knew I was and I cried into his chest. After a moment, he gently pulled me off and told me he has to sign me out so I stood next to him, holding my books.

We walked out into the clear hallway and down the staircase, outside into the fresh, clean air. I took a deep breath as it made me feel better for some reason. I sat in the car without speaking a word and stared out the window. I began to think about the offer my dad gave me earlier about going to New York. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing. I could see my friends while I'm there...I miss New York anyway. Why not? I'll think about it.
