You're Not Invisible

Chapter 18

*Shay's POV* 

I quickly pulled on my jacket and ran out the house. I sent Hunter a quick text and hopped in my car. I am probably the last person Stacey wants to see right now, but I want to know what happened and how it happened. I found an empty parking spot and ran to the alley behind the mall. "Stacey?" I ran over to her, kneeling down beside her. 

"Get away from me. I'm fine." She pushed me away while I was helping her up. 

"What happened?" I asked her, worried. 

"Ask your little girlfriend!" She shouted at me. "Why did you come anyway? Don't you have plans tonight?" 

"I care about you." Pain grew across my face. I'm slowly losing my bestfriend. "Gracelyn didn't do this. She couldn't." 

"Oh yeah? Your little girlfriend isn't as nice as she seems. She's a bitch." She said. This doesn't sound like Stacey. Stacey doesn't usually cuss. "But you know what? I'm done. Just go running back to her and be manipulated by her. You don't believe me anyways. No one does." She started to walk off. I grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to face me. "Leave me alone." She yanked her arm away. "I don't ever want to talk to you again!" She shotued 

"Stacey." I cried. She shook her head andwas crying. "I'm sorry."  

"No. Sorry isn't going to fix this." 

"Just please talk to me. Tell me what happened."

"You want to know what happened?!" She shotued at me and I shook my head. "Here's what happened. Gracelyn is an overly jealous little bitch who has to be the center of attention or nothing at all. She hates me, she abuses me! None of you guys can see it. Everyone keeps telling me they will talk to her, but it never fixes anything! Then you go and do this." She said making little hand movements. "Knowing her and I hate each other, that I'm her worse enemy, that she will do anything she can to hurt me! And she choose you! She is only with you to make me jealous! She doens't like you!" She shotued at me. 

"That's not true."

"Oh, but it is! Open your eyes! See that it is! She hates me. She is doing this because you're the closest thing to me other than Hunter. She is doing it to get inside of my brain! She told me! You just can't see it because you're in to deep. You like someone who doesn't like you back. In the end it'll only hurt you! Not her! Trust me! I know the feeling, it isn't great. Liking someone who will NEVER like you back hurts. Having your bestfriend date your worse nightmare isn't the coolest thing ever! It hurts. It hurt me that you would do that. I trusted you! You know she hates me! What the hell? I thought you hated her, I guess I was wrong. I guess I'm to naive and to young to realize that you liked her all along. Everyone gets to know me before they hurt me. They always get close to me then hurt me. Like I'm just some little toy they can throw around. I'm not! I have feelings to you know! I really thought my feelings meant something to you! I guess not. Now leave me alone!" She shouted and walked off. 

"Stacey!" I called after her.

"I said leave me alone."

"You didn't let me speak!" I shouted at her. She turned looking at me, hurt written across her face. I just yelled at her. "Yes I do like her! I should've told you that in the beginning, but I knew it would hurt you. I knew you would look at me differently."

"Well it hurt me al-"

"Let me finish." I cut her off. "I never meant for it to go like this. I never thought she would have feelings for me. Which she does. Why do you say she doesn't? I'm not some toy for her. She likes me. Why can't you just accept that fact? I love you Stacey, I really do. But I'm sorry this happened, but this is how it is. I care about how you feel, I love you, and I wouldn't do anything on purpose to hurt you." I took a deep breathe. "Can you just please try and get along with her?" 

"Why are you doing this? You don't know who she really is? I mean look at me! She did this to me!" Stacey pointed to the bruises on her face and stomach. "I'll make it easy. Have her, don't ever talk to me again."

*Stacey's POV*

"Why are you doing this? You don't know who she really is? I mean look at me! She did this to me!" I pointed to the bruises on her face and stomach. "I'll make it easy. Have her, don't ever talk to me again." I ran off before I could let Shay get in another word. 

"Hunter" I answered my phone.

"Stacey are you okay? Shay texted me and told my what happened. Where are you?"

"I'm at the park, sitting on a bench near the lake." He told me he would be here in about 15 minutes. I sat there watching the ducks waddle around and the little children playing and chasing each other. 

I stared down at my phone, looking at all the hate I'm getting on twitter. Tears falling onto my phone screen, making it blurry to see the tweets. How can people be so mean and cruel? I don't understand. I don't even know these people and they treat me like absolute shit. 

It was about another 5 minutes when Hunter arrived. He pulled me into a big hug and rubbed my back. "Don't ever do that again, you had me worried." He wiped the tears from my eyes and kissed my nose. "It'll all be okay sweetheart, I promise." 

We starred at each other and he planted his lips on mine. Kissing him was one of the best things ever. His soft lips on my lips. It felt like life stopped. Have you ever felt that moment where it's only you and that special someone? The one person who you could spend eternity with? The moment where everything else is a blur, except him. That he is the only one you want to be around for the rest of your life, the moment where you forget everything? 

Well, that was this moment.
