part 51

( i'm at a party rn so sorry this is rushed)

i sit down in the very back of mr. skies classroom. the least thing i want is to talk to joey. he messed up, not me.

soon enough, the one and only joseph birlem comes walking in. he's wearing a black sweatshirt with black ripped jeans with his converse. his hair was messy and he looked like he was up all night.

we make eye contact again for a split second but i break it by looking down.

he sits down in his seat and he's out his notebook, begging to copy down the notes for the day.

he looks horrible, so hurt. maybe i over exaggerated a little to much? he looked like he was crying for hours.

i want him so badly. i want him to hold me tight. i want him to sneak into my room with a rose and chocolates and talk for hours. i want to go up to him and kiss the fuck out of him, but i can't.

i can't do any of that, he can't do any of that.

he's the one who messed up.

it hurts me so much that i'm not with him anymore.

"how'd did second period go?" hunter asked as we walked in the lunch line.

"he didn't talk to me. did he talk to you?" i asked him as i was getting my food. mom can't pack me my lunch as she used to since sam is alive now.

"no."

i looked down and sighed, "oh okay."

i looked up and saw something, he wasn't with lexi but he was with that girl who sat next to me in 1st.

i think my heart just did a summer salt over a cliff just now as he laces his fingers with hers. he looks down at her and smiles, just like what he did to me.

i swallow the lump in my throat and blink to see if this is real. it might just be my medication messing with me again as it usually does.

that's when joey and i make eye contact, he smiles and gives me a little nod but then goes back to talking to her.

who is this bitch messing with my man?

it's like every bone in my body, every muscle, every organ, every blood cell just fell to my feet and broke into pieces, including my heart.

"come on an-" hunter trails off when he sees where i was looking. he puts his hand on my shoulder, "we can skip today."

i don't answer. i stood there, frozen. i can't move. i can't speak. i can't do anything but stare and try to realize what the hell is happening.

he got in front of me and tried to make me look at him but all wanted to do was stare at the girl and joey. "

"maybe she's just a friend." hunter says, "really close friends."

i scoffed, "what kind of really close friends hold hands?"

he sighs while shaking his head, " i don't know. come on baby-" i glared at him.

"did you just call me baby?" i asked him, "i am nothing but your friend hunter."

"no it wasn't like that." he protested, "i-"

i start to walk away when he grabs my wrist, "let go of me!" i told him, making heads turn.

he scrunches up his face and twists his hand on my wrist. "you're not leaving me anna." he says, making me scared.

at this point he's hurting my hand, "hunter stop. you're, ow, you're hurting me."

he doesn't stop, he twists it to a place where it can't be twisted. "hunter please."

snap

i feel my eyes water as the pain comes in. hunter just broke my wrist out of anger. i hold my broken wrist in my hand and stand there looking back and forth from it and hunter.

i collapsed to the ground as i winced in pain. i sit there rocking back and forth holding my wrist, hoping this is all just a trick from my medication.

"what is wrong with you hunter!?!" i didn't bother to look up, the pain was in unbelievable.

i feel arms wrap around me and pick me up. i didn't look at who it was as they carrried me bridal style out of the school. they had minty breath and a nice jawline, since i was laying my head right next to it. they were really muscular too, i know it's a guy.
