Tell Me This Is Love! (ImmortalHD FanFic)

Making Hard Decisions?

(Aleks P.O.V)

7:34 A.M. Colorado High (Monday)

The weekends I hoped that would last longer than usual passed by quickly because of my new found job as a waiter. Renee assigned me hours on Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I was glad to oblige because I knew my purpose of getting this job was to repay Max for being my transportation. The reason I wanted the weekend to linger was because of the new unexpected situation that will occur once I get to school.

Being that Eddie now knows how everything went down when he conflicted with Kevin, he is sure to apologize and reconcile with Kevin. Kevin, on the other hand, can take this apology two ways: happiness that he's able to befriend once again his crew of seniors or anger towards me for meddling once again. Though I've known the whole ordeal didn't involve me whatsoever, my ignorance only lead me to further exacerbate the case for myself.

The only thing that was going to make this day perfect was getting my car from the school's possession after parking in the teacher's lot the first day.

When Max and I arrived at the school, I prepared myself by attempting to calm my conscience. 

Max watched as I repeatedly breathed in and out. "You know, I didn't think seeing compromise could make a person so nervous."

"Yeah, but I feel as if I kind of forced the compromise," I laughed nervously, "I just hope Kevin didn't misunderstand my intentions."

"What exactly were your intentions again?"

The question left me silent. At first, I managed to realize my intentions was to  make Eddie happy. I'm not sure exactly how seeing another guy happy would make me feel accomplished. Eddie and I have had plenty of complications yet we always end up in the same ordeal and ready for more.

"What are my intentions now?" I questioned myself. 

"Aleks," Max began. "You're like a lost puppy."

I faced him, confused. "What?"

He continued, "You don't know exactly how to respond to anything. It's like you truly believe you have no place or anyone to run to for help. In the end, you doubt yourself fiercely, believing you should have been able to achieve something by now; without knowing what it is. I think that if you actually began to understand your doubts, you'll know who to run to. Kind of like reverse psychology."

I was amazed at Max's ability to make a human being feel as if they've just experienced an unidentified language. "Okay. Thanks..?" 

Max smiled. "Anytime."

I exited the car, still attempting to understand Max's words of wisdom. 

"Aleks!" some one called my name.

I notice Dion running towards me at amazing speed. "Yeah?" I asked once he was close enough.

He stopped in front of me and began to breathe heavily. Once he was functioning properly, he spoke. "What exactly did you do to Kevin?"

The question instantly made me feel as if my plan was already a failure. "What do you mean?" I asked, though fully unprepared to receive the bad news.

"Well," he began, "When I went over to his house this morning, he didn't exactly seem like the usual, joking Kevin. He was more depressed than I had ever seen him. Actually, this is the first time I've seen him like this. Usually, if he's angry he scowls not look as if someone crapped in his cereal."

I wasn't able to react to the news. Depressed? How come? I knew it was because of Eddie's attempt to reconcile with him but this wasn't the outcome, out of the two, I thought would manifest.
