Damaged

Chapter 25

"It's been a whole fricking holiday and I haven't heard from Liam." I protested to Alexa.

"Maybe he didn't have service or WiFi. Don't stress. You'll see him today." She attempted to calm me down.

"Come on, let's go." I said to Alexa.

I turned around and walked straight into a guy called Brad, Liam's close friend.

"Hey! Miley, have you heard?"

"Heard what?" I was kind of scared as I waited for an answer.

A small frown appeared on his face.

"I guess not.." he said.

"What happened?" I worried for a while.

"It's about Liam. I'm surprised you haven't heard."

My face quickly turned pale as I over exaggerated my reaction to  what his answer could be.

"Well he went on holiday and now, well I guess he's got himself a girl friend." Brad spoke.

I didn't speak as I analized how to react to this.

"Miley?" Brad grabbed my shoulders.

"Oh. Right." I came back to reality at the touch of his hands.

"Is that why he hasn't been speaking to me?" I asked.

"I guess so. Sorry Miles!" He said to me.

It's been a while since anyone's called me Miles.

"Well I better get going. See you around." He ran off to his friends.

I stood in the middle of the corridor a little bit stunned.

"Are you ok?" Alexa put her hand over my shoulders.

"Yeah." I spoke.
"Let's just go to class."

We started walking and headed for the English class room.

Half way though the lesson I felt myself loose consentration.

I raised my hand suddenly and the teacher called my name.

"M'am, please can I be excused?"

"If you have to be." She crossed her arms.

I looked away from her angry face as I stood up.
I left the classroom and walked towards the bathrooms.

"Oi. Look up sweetie."

I looked up when I heard Liam's voice.

He was looking like his fuck boy self. So I decided to ignore him and kept walking as I looked away from him.

"And now? What did I do to hurt you this time?" He spoke loudly.

I turned  around in frustration.

"What the fuck do you think Liam!?" I was angry.

He stood there stunned before walking towards me.
He grabbed my hands and I moved away from him so he had to let go.

"I'm sorry I didn't talk to you or tell you what's going on." He said.

"You say that every time." I said.

"Please can we just forget that any of this ever happened and be friends?" He said.

"It's hard to just forget." I whispered.

"I love you Miley, I always will. We just aren't meant to be." He said softly.

I gave a small smile as I tried to hide my pain that was bursting to get out.
The last thing I needed to do was cry.

He grabbed my head and kissed my cheek.
