The Private School

Chapter 26

(A/N: Hey everyone, just in case you didn't realise, I messed up with the chapters and so I had to rectify the situation, I basically wrote two chapter 3's, even though one of them was chapter 4, which is what you had read as chapter 3, so I have fixed the issue, Chapter 3 is up and chapter 4 is what was chapter 3, chapter 3 has like 10 reads and chapter 4 (used to be 3) has like 50-70 reads, so if you want to, go and read that, even though it's before the relationship and whatnot.. here are the next two chapters, just a heads up, it's going to be rather sad.. I know, you're already planning my murder lol, sorry :/, enjoy, if you can :|..)

It's been a few weeks since that weekend, me and Dad sorted things out the following weekend, I've been avoiding Stefan a little bit, I don't know if he has noticed that I've been hanging out with Jake, Ali, Eli and even Finn, Eli and Finn are dating, and Finn has a friend who is quite cute and he's been hanging out with us too, his name is Preston. I've had some Maths sessions with Stefan and we've mainly been doing Maths. We've had a half term holidays last week too which was nice, I was able to spend some quality time with Dad, Stefan and I texted a few times.

I've kind of been avoiding him because I've been thinking about what Derek said, if we don't work out, it could end with severe consequences and I don't know if I wanna risk that, Stefan is one of a kind and I don't want to be the reason his life is ruined.

I'm sat doing History homework at the moment, we're learning about the Holocaust, Mr Thompson is now not just my History teacher, he is also my English teacher, English has been really fun now, we're learning some good stuff.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Now who is at my door? If it's Jake, he knows I'm doing homework at the moment, I told them all not to knock for me until later at least.

I get up and leave my History work to answer the door. Stefan.

"Hey" I say as I act like nothing is wrong. He doesn't say anything as he lets himself in, this almost seems like a Deja Vu from the time we got together, 4 months ago. I shut the door and follow him to the sofa.

"Are we ok?" He asks cutting to the chase.

"Um, sure, why?" I ask acting like I don't know what's going on.

"Ok, I might sound really stupid, but it feels like you're avoiding me, the last few weeks, since the weekend you met my Dad, we've not really hung out that much" He says.

"I've just been busy hanging out with my friends, I mean, we don't want to be suspicious so we kinda have to do our own thing sometimes" I point out.

"Even during the holidays, I was making more of an effort to text you than you were to text back" He says.

"I was spending time with my Dad, we're getting back on track since my Mums birthday" I tell him.

"Oh come on Addison, we've been dating for 4 months now, I know you pretty well to know when you're avoiding me, all I wanna know is why, so that we can fix this and move forward" He says.

"Stefan I haven't got time for this right now, I'm in the middle of History homework and Jake will probably be knocking on the door within the next hour" I say trying to avoid the subject.

"Please Addi, just tell me, am I doing something wrong?" He asks, he's begging me for answers. No, you're not doing anything wrong. Why am I doing this? His Dad is right, this isn't going to end well, we can't be together, I love him too much to do this to him.

"You're not doing anything wrong" I say. He walks closer to me and cups my face in his hands.

"Then what is going on? Please tell me what is going on in that sweet head of yours" He asks. I don't answer as I feel a tear slide down my cheek. He leans in and presses his lips to mine and after a second I pull away, backing away from him, that may have just been the last time I feel his lips on mine.
