Simply Meant to Be: Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I marched straight to Laila, stopping her right in her path,

"Hey there, Elton John." She giggled.

"I'm sorry." I smiled. She looked confused, so I continued, "I'm sorry you're such an angry person. Yesterday I would have been mentally restraining myself from ripping out your intestines with my teeth, but today, I'm sorry. I feel bad for you. I feel bad that I caused you to feel like it was your job to make me unhappy. I can probably guess why you hate me because honestly, I hate myself a little. I don't care if you hate me though. I hate me, and that's enough to make me want to change me. You helped my realize that, so thanks. I wish you the best of luck."

She grimaced, "Fuck off, Madonna."

Although people were still talking about me, I stopped feeding into it. I didn't talk to anyone. Kate, my only sort of friend, was too awkward around me so I told her she could leave me alone if she wanted. Everything had gone pretty okay, because I was back to how I was before I knew Luke. I heard yelling.

--

I watched Luke continuously punch one of the football guys, until he flipped him over and got a few hits into Luke as well. Sooner or later, two teachers pulled them off of each other. Luke looked around, and found my eyes. Our eyes locked on to each other and didn't stop until he was pulled behind a closed door.

I watched some T.V. show about models with my mom until she got tired and went up to bed. I stayed downstairs, and continued watching the marathon. I pretended I was friends with some of the girls because I don't think I actually had friends. Over the T.V., I heard someone knock. I went to the door wondering the hell would be up other than me. It was Luke with a black eye.

"If you came to hate me with the rest of the school, I'll save you the time because I'm already doing it." I said.

"Molly broke up with me." He said.

"Yeah, you know what? I'm sorry that I'm so head over heels in love with you that I broke up your relationship." I said, "Do you know those words didn't even come from me? I never said I loved you."

"That's not why she broke up with me. She broke up with me because she realized I didn't love her. And you know what? I thought about it and she was right. I didn't love her. I hide my true feelings because I was scared. I was scared of being again. When my dad was alive, I could never be upset, and that was taken from me so quickly. I convinced myself that I couldn't be happy without it being snatched from me. I thought I was wrong until recently. I lost you."

I slapped him harder than I did before.

"You're such an idiot, and you make me so angry. You say such stupid things." I growled, "That's the thing. You can never lose me because you have this hold on me. Before you, I never let anyone in. I loved myself way too much to let myself love anyone else. Then you came along, with your cute grins, your muscular arms, your messy hair, your charm, and your utterly irresistible personalty. Still, with all that, I wondered, what made you so special? How come you found your way into my heart. You made your way into my heart, and you turned me into an idiot. An idiot in love. I'm so in love with you, and that makes me so angry."

Luke pulled me in for a kiss. He caressed the back of my head, and pulled my torso close to him. I held onto the sides of his head. His lips were perfect, and they belonged on my face. He finally pulled away, and smiled,

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"Never." Luke kissed me again. "I'm so glad you proved me wrong. Please, please, always prove me wrong. It gives me hope."

"I'll do my best." I said through my tears.

"You know, I got into that fight because of you." He said, "He said that you weren't important."

"You're such an idiot." I sobbed into his shoulder.

"I know. I'm your idiot." Luke kissed my head.

"Always." I looked up at him. He grinned.

"No matter what happens. I will always find you. We are simply meant to be."
