tongue piercing • liangelo ball [ON HOLD]

xiv - her

It's not like life could get any worse at this point. I have four out of my eight (a/n: i picked a random number of classes, don't come at me if there are more or less) classes with Dylan. While Dylan isn't that big of a problem, it still brings back unwanted memories.
"You seem really off. You okay?" Mason says from beside me and I chuckle.
"I'm not quite sure what your definition of okay is, but I highly doubt that I meet that definition." I say lightly and a frown etches her face.
"You wanna talk about it or-" she starts but is cut off by our teacher. As she starts with our lesson I start to completely zone out and think of my time in Arizona.
(another a/n: lol so this is going to be a flashback, those will always be in italics)
"Hi Erin." I hear a voice say beside me, one I'm all too familiar with.
"What do you want Dylan?" I ask, obviously annoyed. I've never wanted anything to do with him.
"You, baby. I want you." He says, as if it's an obvious fact.
"I'm sorry, but that is not happening. Last time I checked, I'm dating your best friend. Isn't there some sort of dumb bro code about that shit?" I say, my voice raising to a yell by the end of my rant. I feel the whole hallways eyes on me but I don't care. It's not as if I'm not used to it by now.
"Erin, what the fuck is you on about?" Garner says, rounding the corner and I roll my eyes.
"I'm on about your best friend trying to get with me constantly. I'm yours and he doesn't seem to get that." I say and Garner scoffs.
"More like you're trying to get with him. You're such a little slut, you know that?" Garner asks and Dylan laughs, encouraging him.
"I can't believe you. Why do you always blame me for shit I don't have anything to do with?" I yell. I slam my locker door and walk away. What a bitch.
I jolt back to reality when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"You zoned out and started breathing really heavy. Thought I'd try and check on you. I'm sorry for scaring you." Mason says and I sigh.
"You're fine. Thank you for that." I say and she nods. I begin to quickly take down the notes that I missed from when I was zoned out and begin the calculus work sheet I was given. We were allowed to work in partners so Mason and I work on it until the final bell of the days rings.
"Hey princess, how are you?" I hear Liangelo say as soon as I get out of my classroom. He reaches down and intertwines our fingers.
"I'm not great, that's one thing for sure. But I do know one thing that could help my mood." I say smirking and he chuckles.
"What would that be?" He asks and I smile brightly.
"A kiss." I say. He busts out laughing and I smile even wider.
He leans down and gives me a quick kiss and I pout when he pulls away. He smiles right back at me, looking me straight in my eyes. I break into a smile and let out a slight giggle at his actions. He walks me to my locker, kisses me again and leaves for basketball practice. I quickly dart out of the school, not wanting to be in that hell for another second, and into my car.
I arrive at my house and go in to find two notes on the counter. One from my mom and one from my dad.
"I have officially moved out, I am sorry for the pain I have caused you and your father. I love you, I've gone back to New York. Love, Mom." I roll my eyes and move onto my dads note. It happens to be just a note telling me he's off on another business trip for two weeks and I sigh.
I put my books down in my room and gather an old adidas shirt, sports bra, and leggings and begin to get ready for a shower. My shower wasn't exactly quick, but I didn't take a hell of a long time either. As I got out and washed my face thoroughly once more, I got dressed and decided to let my hair air dry.
I go back into my room and turn on some music and start my homework. All of the sudden as Girls Talk Boys by 5SOS comes on (a/n: i had to) I hear something hit my window. I open it to find Liangelo at the bottom, with something is his hands. I automatically assume it's rocks and roll my eyes.
"You couldn't get any more cheesy, could you?" I say, giggling through the whole sentence.
"Is your dad home?" He yells and I shake my head. He gives out an almost inaudible "woo" and I roll my eyes.
I run downstairs and unlock the door. As soon as I do, it's opened and Liangelo is standing there with a bouquet of roses and my favorite candy.
"You are the absolute best." I say. He gives a slight smirk and I take the items from him and wrap my arms around his neck.
"You're beautiful." He says, as if he doesn't tell me a hundred times a day. I kiss him passionately, smiling into the kiss. He kisses back smiling as well making me mentally awe. He pulls away first and I pout.
"You're too cute." Liangelo says with a chuckle at the end.
"As if I didn't know." I say with a hair flip.
"I-I think I wanna tell you something princess." Liangelo says and my heartbeat quickens. I can't imagine what he's about to say, and it scares me more than it probably should.
"What do you wanna tell me?" I ask, nervousness laced in my every word. There's a moment of hesitation that when he speaks I know is because of the nerves.
"I-I love you. I love you. I'm so utterly in love with you." He says. I feel the tears well up in my eyes and I smile with what I'm convinced is the biggest smile I will ever smile. My reply is without hesitation.
"I love you too."
