Slade

Complications

Beth

"He's just being weird. Not being Slade" I sigh.

"Awww, maybe having a rough week" Kaitlyn says.

I shake my head. "She wasn't like this until he picked up my mom. What if she said something to him?"

She chuckles. "I'm sure she didn't! She doesn't know anything another you and Slade! If Slade wants to act like that, let him! And tell you you're not gonna keep putting up with his bullshit!"

"No then I'll get in trouble" I laugh and she laughs along. "I'll just try to talk to him again" I say. She nods with a smile. "So how are you and Dustin? How was your first thanksgiving together?!"

"Great!" she chirps. "It was amazing! He's such a gentlemen! I really like him, Beth" she blushes.

"Aww! I'm glad!" I smile. "I see how happy you are!"

"Haha, yea! Now you go fix things with your happiness" she says softly.

I sigh. "I will"

"Good" she says. "Now go!"

I laugh and run into my car, speeding to Slades house.

"Sladeeee" I knock on his locked door repeatedly. "What are you doing in there?"

The door opens, revealing my boyfriend. "Sorry"

"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask.

"I'm fine!" he snaps and I flinch. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your mom?"

I shake my head. "I want to see you"

He sighs. "Go spend the day with your family"

"But I want to spend the day with you!" I frown.

He kisses my forehead and rubs my shoulder. "I'll be busy today. Just be with your family, Light"

I catch a little attitude and leave his house right on the spot.

And of course he didn't stop me.

Why would he?

"Are you okay baby?" mom sits next to me.

I try to wipe my stream of tears. "No! Slade is acting so weird!"

She frowns and rubs my shoulder. "He might have something on his mind... I seen the way he was yesterday. He seemed really stressed. You need to talk to him"

"I have been! He wouldn't talk to me" I cry.

"You have to try harder. Or just tell him how you're feeling. I see he much he loves you, he was so protective over you! Get keep trying"

"What if he doesn't love me anymore?" I hiccup.

She sighs. "Talk to him"

"Okay... okay yea. I should. I shouldn't be upset over this! I need to express how I feel..." I sniffle.

She nods with a smile. "Yes love, go talk to him"
