Have We Met? (Remington Leith)

Old Rumors

I'm the short one with the short hair, the other girl is my friend (who also has Wattpad but hasn't told me her account yet).

I was placed back on the ground and turned around to face my old highschool best friend, Daniel, or Danny, as I always called him. "Danny," I squealed, hugging the tall, thin man.

"How have you been," he asked as we both pulled away. "I haven't seen you since you left."

"I'm doing great, running a small photography business," I said and he smiled.

"So someone from this dead end town actually followed their dreams," he said, his amber eyes lighting up.

"Yep, that's why I moved," I said and he nodded.

"That's good," he replied and then there was a short moment of silence. "So, how's your love life," he asked making me feel guilty for leaving Remington out of the whole conversation.

"I'm actually here with someone," I replied, turning towards Remington who was standing there all awkward like. "Rem, this is my friend Danny, Danny this is, well, I hope he is my boyfriend considering we confessed our love to each other the other night," I said, bringing up an important topic as well as introducing the two men.

Rem smiled, a small blush on his face, as he greeted Danny. "I don't know, Ronnie. Are we together," Rem asked with a smirk before softly kissing me.

I smiled, breaking the kiss, before looking back at Danny who had a wide smile on his face. "That's beautiful," he commented, making me blush a bit. "Okay, so we have a lot to do tonight, things which you probably don't remember, but we should probably ditch this hell hole," he said and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well, I kind of want to see who wins king and queen before hand," I said and a look of exsaughst washed over Danny's face.

"Whatever, we're staying up all night afterwards though," he said and I sighed with a nod. "Meanwhile, I'm going to go try and convince Ariel to speed up the 'coronation'," he said, using finger quotations around the word coronation.

I laughed before turning back to Rem, who was smirking at me.

"What," I asked and he shook his head.

"Nothing," he replied before pulling me into him. He wrapped his arms around me while mine wrapped around his waist. "It's just that I think I'm still falling for you, it's as if there is no ground to hit," he said, making my heartbeat quicken.

I smiled up at him, "why do you do you do this to me," I said. "You make me feel so happy in the most depressing times. You make me say things that I would normally be afraid to say to anyone. You actually return the feeling that I have for you. I'm going to say it again, and I will say it over and over, I love you," I said, spilling every thought in my mind.

He looked a bit taken back by everything I said, yet he smiled at me. "That was a lot," he said and I chuckled.

"It was a lot, but that doesn't mean you should trust her," a familiar voice spoke and I could feel my insides twist. "She's always been a lying attention whore," the voice of my highschool bully spoke and I pulled away from Rem to look at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you," I said to the brown headed man standing in front of me.

His once bright green eyes have faded to a dull puke color and a thick, brown beard and mustache surrounded his mouth. "So, I see she has you trapped under one of her spells. She's always done that to people," he continued, speaking to Remington instead of me.

"Look dude, I don't know who you are but what you're saying is offending not only Ronnie but me as well," Remington replied and a look of anger flashed in Xavier's eyes.

"Plus, you should be talking to me, not my boyfriend," I said and the ugly eyes turned to me.

"Okay slut, why did you decide to show back up," he questioned and I scoffed.

"It's none of your god damned business why I'm here," I spat and he darkly chuckled.

"Everyone knows you're a witch, Veronica. I told everyone about that night when I seen you performing that satanic ritual," he said and I shook my head at him, remembering the rumour that was spread around about me.

"Oh, you mean that stupid rumour you made up and spread around," I said and he grinned at me wickedly.

"They don't need to know that," he said. "Besides, I've been keeping track of you. I watch the news. I follow you on Instagram. I'm not blind Veronica. You're brain washing him. He had a beautiful model at his side, then you attacked her. You made him fall for you," he said and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Okay, so I'm a slut, I'm an attention whore, I'm crazy, I'm a witch, and now I'm manipulative. But you, you are a rapist, a homophobe, a narcissist, a stalker, and an all around asshole. Get over yourself Xavier and go home and fuck you imaginary wife," I said and he looked taken back.

He blinked at me a few times before walking away.

I turned back to Remington who had a look if shock on his face. "Those are the rumors," he questioned and I nodded.
