13 Reasons Why Imagines

Alex (Requested Imagine)

"Y/N! Y/N! I have tea to spill!" Sheri yelled as she approached me at my locker.

I rolled my eyes, "Sheri if it's anything related to your sex life, the cheer team, or a hot supply teacher, I don't want to hear it again."

Sheri hit me half playfully, "no! I'm glad you think so highly of me," she murmured. "But anyway, it's been going around school that Alex and Jessica broke up!"

My eyes widened and I slammed my locker door shut, "I'm sorry can you repeat that?" I asked not believing it.

"Alex and Jessica broke up!" She repeated.

At the moment I felt my heart beat out of my chest the speed of a race car.

You see, Alex and I dated about seven months ago for almost a year.

But once Justin vanished off the face of the earth and Jessica told her parents about being raped, everything went down hill.

Alex began spending more time with Jessica which I didn't mind too much, I get that she just needed a friend.

But soon enough I barely ever saw Alex except for maybe at school every now and again.

I decided to break up with him and I kid you not, not even a month later him and Jessica started dating.

He acted as if our relationship never happened.

He would walk down the hall and smile and wave at me like we had been best friends since kindergarten.

He always asked if I was going to a party that was being thrown just a few days later, acting as if he didn't know parties gave me high levels of anxiety, in which case I would never go.

Having a feeling of pain was an understatement when it came to life after Alex and I's relationship.

"Earth to Y/N! Where'd you go?" Sheri waved a hand in my face. "Jeez girl, you look like you about to pass out."

She handed me her water bottle, telling me to take a sip before making any movements.

I sipped the water, letting the cold, lemony tasting liquid run down my throat.

"Better?" She asked.

"Could be worse."

Sheri nodded pursing her lips as she stared intently at me, "I think this is your time."

I rose an eyebrow, "my time for what exactly?"

She rolled her eyes as if it was clear as day, "to tell Alex how shitty he made you feel these past few months."

We walked down the empty hallway to the back of the school where we usually eat our lunch.

The sun lit a path down the hall to the door that lead out back. The football team was running practice drills so a few of them came barreling down the hall in front of us.

"Sheri, I'm not about to tell Alex how for the past five months, just seeing him down the god damn hallway makes me want to rip my heart out and crush it to pieces before he can do it all over again."

Sheri chocked out a laugh, "dramatic much?" She held the door open for me and we walked over to the bleachers, watching the team huddle up, probably discussing their play book.

"No not at all," I responded as we both took a seat on the very top bench. "For the past five months I had to see Alex and Jessica acting all lovey-dovey at every corner I turn." I rubbed my hands down my face, taking deep breaths to calm down. "It's like Alex doesn't even remember we were a thing for almost eleven months. Every promise, every 'I love you', every damn thing we said or did for each other in those ten months, just down the drain like it never even happened," I sobbed.

   "Shit Y/N. I never knew you were holding all that in for this long," Sheri gasped. She slung her arm over my shoulder, pulling me into a hug, letting me cry into her shoulder.

   "Is that really how you feel, Y/N?" A familiar voice spoke up from the bottom of the bleachers.

   I sniffled, wiping the tears from my eyes as I look down to where the voice was coming from.

   There stood Alex Standall, staring back at me with guilt and sadness plastered on his face, "why didn't you ever come and talk to me?"

   A harsh laugh escaped my lips, "you don't think I tried? All those calls and texts I sent you that you avoided while you were out with Jessica. I'm surprised you didn't realize you were making feel like shit."

   He walked up the bleacher steps and Sheri told me she was going to go give us some privacy.

   "I mean, I figured you were hurt after the break up," he said. "I was too."

   I scoffed, "couldn't tell."

   "I just didn't know you felt like that," Alex added on.

   I sighed and patted my hands on my lap before standing up, "well now you do, so take that information and do what you want with it." I walked down the bleachers, feeling almost relieved for finally getting all that off my chest.

   "Y/N! Wait a minute!" Alex shouted after me.

   I turned around from the bottom of the bleacher, watching Alex rush down until he was standing in front of me.

   "What I want is to start over."

   I shook my head, "you just broke up with Jessica. Do you know how I felt when you got with her a month after we broke up?" Alex shook his head in response and looked at the ground. "It hurt. A lot. And as much as I don't like Jessica for taking you away from me so quickly, she doesn't deserve to feel the way I felt after all she's been through. You of all people should know that."

   "I'm sorry," he whispered looking me in the eye.

   I nodded sternly, "I'll see you later, Alex." And with that, I turned on my heels and walked back towards the school to find Sheri.
