words i didn't say ~ cmb [COMPLETED ✓ ]

ch. 23

i put my head down and sob.

my tears soak into my jacket sleeve and i wonder why he wanted a break.

i've barely been talking with him so i don't see why he said that i have been clingy.

have i been clingy? and i just haven't noticed?

am i not good enough for the corbyn besson?

tears continue to fall and soon enough, they're all over the counter, a small puddle forming.

i hear footsteps walking into the kitchen so i wipe my face and soak the puddle up with my other sleeve.

it's daniel.

i put on a fake smile to make his see that i'm doing okay.

"hey azalea! you hungry?" he asks, opening the fridge.

i shake my head and get up to grab some water.

ugh... the headache is kicking in.

i guess i cried a little too much.

"your eyes look puffy, are you okay?" daniel asks and someone walks into the kitchen.

i nod, putting ice in my cup and pouring water in.

i sniffle and brush past the person who walked in.

my eyes are dry so i go to the bathroom and put some eyes drops in.

i rinse my face off and look in the mirror.

do i look that bad to where he doesn't want me anymore?

more tears come out of my eyes and i hover over the sink, tears flowing freely down the drain.

i start to sob, biting down on my sweatshirt sleeve to make sure that no one else can hear me.

the door cracks open.

"a-azalea?" a voice asks.

the person starts rubbing my back, comforting me although they have no idea what's going on.

i look into the mirror and see zach there, suppressing a small smile, trying to cheer me up.

i wave to the mirror and he waves back.

"you don't need to tell me what's wrong if you don't want to. i'll just help," he says sweetly.

i smile, tears still flowing down my cheek.

i open my mouth, attempting to talk and zach's eyes widen.

"oh, you don't need to talk unless you want to," he says, not trying to force me.

i nod, still attempting to talk.

"z-z-zac-c-ch..." i test my voice.

his eyes light up, seeing me trying to speak.

"are you sure?" he asks, making sure i'm comfortable with the situation.

i nod, trying to get the words out of my mouth.

"c-c-cor-b-b-y-n... b-b-r-e-a-k-k..." i try to speak.

"corbyn's on his break?" zach asks.

i shake my head.

"c-cor-b-yn w-wan-t-t-s..a-a b-br-e-a-k-k... f-from m-me," i stutter out.

zach's eyes widen when he realizes what i told him.

he gives me a very tight hug.

"i'm so sorry... i'm going to kill him," he says, standing up, almost walking out of the house.
