^Banner is Bella^
||Makayla's POV||
"Finally" Liam says eating his lunch. Nobody really spoke to him and he rarely spoke to the group after what happened with him and Bella. So we were surprised when he sat with us today.
Everyone exchanged glances before our eyes landed upon the blonde boy again. "Look I get it, you're all still mad at me about what I did to Bella" he said addressing everyone. "I was drunk and I know that's a shitty excuse but please, I would never knowingly hit a female" he says.
"You're right" Xavier says looking at him emotionlessly "that was a shitty excuse"
"I'm sorry, for the millionth time I'm sorry okay? I just want to be friends again"
His silver eyes pierced into mine, looking for something, looking for acceptance but I gave him no sign of forgiveness. He looked at Bella
"I didn't mean to hit you babe" Honestly I hadn't even noticed that she was here until just now, she gave him a smile "I know baby" she said
How she could even sit next to me and act like everything was normal was beyond me. Her blonde hair was no longer blonde, as the dye had washed out by now. Only a few of her strands were a golden colour now, revealing her natural hair colour of dark brown.
"Baby?" I ask looking at Bella, her blue eyes stared at me "I thought Chris was your baby?"
After those words left my mouth, the table went quiet. Everyone's eyes kept on darting from me to Bella, waiting for one of us to say something. "It was a one time thing" she said.
"Don't lie to me Bella, it wasn't a one time thing"
She opened her mouth to speak but closed it quickly as if she knew what I was saying was true.
"Did you tell Liam yet?" I ask, trying to keep my cool. "You're just jealous" she snapped.
"Oh right, I'm jealous of someone who tried to sleep their way into a relationship, real jealous"
"Bella what is she talking about?" Liam asked looking at his soon to be ex-girlfriend.
"Nothing" she said quickly. "Why don't you tell him? For once in your life stop lying to everyone" I say, angrily.
"Fine!" She said "Chris and I had sex, okay? It started off as something small but then he called me over the next day saying that he wanted to see me. He called me for fucks sake Kayla I would never do this to you on purpose!"
"You're lying" I say, my eyes began to get glassy and I couldn't stop the lump from forming in my throat.
"I'm sorry" she says "I don't know what else to say!"
I took a deep breath, trying to think clearly through all the anger and hurt I was feeling. It really wasn't all Bella's fault, Chris was to blame for this so I couldn't take my anger out on her alone. "Chris played the both of us" she said. I look at her angrily "I don't understand how he played you though, you got what you wanted didn't you?"
"I never wanted this to happen" she said, the sadness was evident in her voice
"Neither did I but I'm not going to share the victim card with you, you can't deny that you played a part in all of this"
I look down at my sandwich and the memories of Chris taking it and running wouldn't stop being replayed in my mind, the day he'd asked me to move in with him. My stomach felt upset and I couldn't force myself to eat.
"I'm not hungry anymore" I murmur feeling a tear fall down my face, I get up from the table. I make my way to the field, where a few people are playing or just relaxing. I go behind a large tree that I always went by to clear my mind.
As I lean against the tree I couldn't help but cry softly to myself. I was so stupid, so blind. I felt someone's arms around me, I opened my eyes to see the colour of Xavier's green shirt through the blurriness of my eyesight. "It's okay" he murmured, I cried softly into the crook of his neck. Even if Xavier wasn't good at all this emotional stuff, he still made an effort to comfort me. "Don't cry Kayla, you're stronger than this" he said
"I'm tired of trying...I'm tired of everything" I say not having the willpower to wipe away my tears.
"Chris...he broke me" I say emotionlessly
"Nobody could break you, you're the strongest girl I know...Makayla you're unbreakable." He looked at me with such determination in his eyes that I couldn't help a weak smile from forming on my lips.
"Gee you're making me blush" I say still sniffling, Xavier was such a ladies man and if we hadn't been friends since pre-k I would've sworn he was perfect. But I saw the parts that nobody else saw, the burping the loud farts the nervous not so confident side of him that many people wouldn't attach to Xavier.
"Promise me you won't cry over Chris ever again—a matter of fact promise me you won't cry period" he said, I laughed softly "I can't promise you that"
There's a silence before he speaks again "Then promise me you'll be strong" he said, I think about it for a while before answering. "I promise" I murmur he pulls away from the hug and wipes away my tear "Good"
The bell rung loudly signalling for us to head to class "You ready to go to class?" He asks looking at me "I don't have much of a choice" I say walking off. He pulls back my arm gently "Remember your promise" he says, chocolate eyes looking into mine.
"Yeah yeah" I say shrugging off his hand before the both of us walk to class.
