Where Are You Now?

I Hate You

Chapter 14

Josh's P.O.V

I want to scream at her for coming with Brad instead of telling me to take her before I remember what I did and that I have no right to do that. But he is much worse than I if she actually gets to know who he is.

She's trembling right now as she is breathing heavily and is staring at me with wide eyes. "What's wrong?" I ask her worried and she shakes her head. "Nothing." She mumbles frowning. "You're trembling." I say holding her hand and she doesn't move it.

I watch her as she is gently touching the bruises on my fist from breaking the glass.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask her and she nods letting go. "I have to go." She says without looking at me before she goes downstairs.

Michelle's P.O.V

"Do you want anything else?" I ask Chloe's mother after helping her for almost half an hour. "No, thank you so much Michelle." She gives me one of her comforting smile before I go back upstairs to Chloe's room.

"Welcome back. You're alive" Chloe says once she sees me. "She's really sweet." I tell her with a smile.

"Michelle, do you want to go home?" Brad asks me breaking the silence. "Yeah okay." I nod standing after I check my watch; which reveals it's almost six.

"I'll take her." Josh tells Brad standing to face him. "No, it's okay. I ... "Brad starts. "I said I will." He interrupts him calmly. George looks back and forth between them and Chloe doesn't say anything. Brad looks at me and I reassure him with a small smile that it's okay. "Okay." Brad agrees giving in.

"Are you coming tomorrow?" I ask Chloe. "Maybe if I'm no longer feeling dizzy." She answers me frustrated. "Okay." I say giving her a small hug as she's still laying in bed.

"Hey, take care." Brad says lowering his voice. "I'm sorry." I tell him and really mean it. "Don't apologize. It's not your fault." He guarantees me with a weak smile. "Okay." I say smiling back. "Just take care." He tells me and I nod leaving the room. I say goodbye to her mother and follow Josh to his car.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I say angrily looking at him once I get in and close the car's door.

He doesn't answer me neither looks back at me as if I'm not there. Instead he starts his car and starts driving fast.

"Josh stop..." I demand after a few seconds putting the seat belt on but he keeps his eyes on the road ignoring me.

"Josh, you're going to kill us both." I yell as his eyes are still focused on the road. "God, JOSH..." I shout and he slows down the car parking it in front of my house.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You could have killed me, killed us." I yell at him as I try to catch my breath.

"Don't you ever let Brad take you anywhere." He calmly says looking at the steering wheel then at me and his eyes softens once they meet mine.

"It's none of your business." I manage to say but still surprised of his words.

"It fucking is." He yells and I flinch. "It's not." I calmly say shaking my head as my eyes start to water.

"I'm sorry." He says staring at the steering wheel. "God, I so fucking hate you." I calmly say trying to control my tears and he doesn't say anything before I remove the seat belt and get out of the car.
