Freak Show (Carnival Series book 1)

Chapter 13

"Trevor Moran, don't you ever do that again, do you understand me?" Trevor's mother scolded. Trevor nodded, staring out the window of his bedroom. She turned and looked at me. "He's all yours." And with that, Mrs. Moran walked out of the room. I shut the door slowly, and walk up to Trevor.

"Hi," I say to him. He looks at me, then looks back out the window. "Are you okay?" He nods. I sit down on his bed, across the room from the chair he was seated in. I sat in silence and watched him.

"You didn't mean it," He says.

"What?" I ask. "What did I not mean?"

"You said you love me. You were just saying that, because you thought it would help." What? How dare he tell me how I feel about someone. He has no idea what happens in my brain. I stand up and walk over to him. I slap his cheek, surprising him.

"Don't you ever, ever, tell me who I love, and don't love. You are not me, and I will not tolerate any of the crap you think I'm doing." I felt hot tears rolling down my cheeks. I didn't even know I was crying. I lean down, and kiss where I had slapped him. Then, I run out of the room. But Trevor doesn't come after me this time.

When I got downstairs, everyone was in a huddle. By everyone, I mean everyone. Jenn, Andrea, Rebecca, Tyler, Jack, and everyone from Our2ndLife. I stay up to date with my YouTube. Trevor's parents were seated on the couch, talking about something. I try to sneak past the crowd, but to no avail.

"Andraya," Jc called out. I look over, and the entire group was watching me. Jc motioned for me to come over. I walked very slowly, but I made it to Jc. "Meet the gang," He says. He introduces me to everyone, though I already knew who everyone was. I couldn't fangirl however, because my head hurt from yelling Trevor.

"Hi," I say to them, not wanting to chat with anyone. Suddenly, Rebecca comes up and hugs me. After her, Andrea, then Jenn, and then the rest of them. I hug them all back, one at a time.

"So, what did you say to Trevor?" Connor asks me. I shrug.

"He didn't really talk. He kinda just sat there," I lied. "He's still being really unresponsive." Connor frowns and clasps my shoulder.

"Well, he'll come around. He's just confused. I'm sorry if he's hurting you," Connor tells me. I nod, not sure what to say back.

"Wait, so Trevor just kissed you?" Jenn asks. I glare at her, for getting in my business.

"Yes. If you don't mind, I would like to forget that moment, thankyouverymuch," I snap at her. She throws her hands up in surrender. I honestly have never really liked Jenn. She wasn't that funny. "So what're you guys talking about?" I ask the entire group.

"We were trying to come up with a way to make Trevor less depressed. He was already really stressed from YouTube, and his music, and still having to fiind time for school and friends," Ricky explains. My lips form a straight line, what they usually do when I'm thinking. I don't really want to help so much anymore.

"Well, I can't help you. I'm sorry. I have too much of my own crap, and he and I aren't exactly friends." I say to them with a shrug. They give me sad faces, but I turn around, so I don't have to deal with the guilt. I walk out the front door, and head home.

After walking for maybe two minutes, a car slows down by me. I keep walking. They're probably just some creeps who think I'm cute.

The window of the car rolls down. "Need a ride?" I look and find Kian driving the car. I walk to the passenger side without responding. "Why'd you leave so soon?" He asks me. I shrug.

"People." I respond. He stops the car.

"Seriously." he says.

I sigh. "I had a little argument with Trevor when I was talking to him," I say to him. Kian laughs.
