Losing All Control

Chapter 23

A couple of weeks passed and I constantly found my thought wondering off to Taylor. I was insanely curious about where we have living, and how his surgery, and just about him in general. He showed up a few times to art class but he avoided looking at me and just ignored my existence in general.

It made things easier for me though because I knew how to feel about Taylor, so I knew how to feel about Cam. Things were actually looking up for the first time in a while, and I couldn’t help but be terrified that something was going to go wrong soon.

I was at my locker switching my books for my next class when someone slid up next to me. I looked up expecting to see Cam, but was surprised when I saw Taylor. My heart sped up a little in excitement, but I made sure to play it cool and look annoyed. “What do you want?” I asked, as if I couldn’t care less when in reality I cared a hell of a lot.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out my favorite ankle bracelet. “Is this yours?” he asked.

I grabbed it out of his hand, and even though our skin barely grazed I felt a jolt of electricity. “Yeah, it’s mine. Thanks. Where did you find it?”

He shrugged, “I just found it in my car. It must have fallen off you or something when I gave you a ride.” Before I could say anything else he started to walk away.

I slammed my locker and called out to him before I realized what I was doing. He turned around and looked at me expectantly. “What?” He asked, annoyed.

To be honest I didn’t have anything to say, I just knew I didn’t want him to walk way. I shook my head, “Never mind.”

He shrugged and walked off.

I stood in the hallway and watched a girl walk up to him. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. He smiled down at her and I was instantly filled with jealousy.

Cameron walked up and put his arm around me. “Hey,” he said kissing me on the forehead. I tried to forget about Taylor and focus on my wonderful and caring boyfriend.

“Hey,” I said back, tearing my eyes of off of Taylor’s back and focusing them on Cameron.

We started walking towards my next class. “So, apparently Taylor’s got a new girl.”

I tried my best to keep my face clam and unbothered. “Yeah?”

“Well, I was thinking it would be cool if we could double with them this weekend?”

I almost choked.

“Yeah, that sounds great!” I lied. It wasn’t exactly like I could explain to Cameron that Taylor and I weren’t on good terms because whenever we were alone we were constantly on the verge of hooking up.

We got to my classroom and Cam kissed me as we parted way. “Alright, I’m going to set it up. See you later.”

 

I sat down in class and I could feel a migraine coming on. This wasn’t going to be fun.
