chapter six: "you stole my girl"

vanessa thomas

"what are you doing here, tyler?" i sigh, looking at him as he leans on the doorframe of my front door.

he reaches his hand up to caress my cheek softly, "can we talk?"

i shake my head and move his hand away from my cheek, "i've already said everything i wanted to at school."

"you don't want to know why i did it? you're telling me you have no questions and don't want answers or closure. you don't want to hear me explain my thought process?" he pushes, slightly getting forceful as he begins to try and get in my home.

"nope, i have absolutely no care in what bitch you fucked and why. you completely embarrassed me walking into that classroom with a look that i should've been the only one to recognize. im not going to stand here and listen, or believe, whatever bullshit comes out of your mouth, because clearly the stuff you have been saying for past few years have been complete lies anyway" i respond, letting myself say whatever i felt like saying. his face didn't falter one bit, he remained having a cocky, sly expression.

he avoided everything i said and at the moment, rage ran through my veins, "who's car is in your driveway?"

i roll my eyes, "a family friend. you know, the one i told you about the night we had our argument that you shrugged off and told me to ditch."

tyler chuckles with smirk, "let me meet him."

"why?" i furrow my eyebrows, "he shouldn't have to look at a cheating asshole like you."

my words infuriated him as he moves me aside and walks in, "so you're the pretty boy who stole her from me?"

jack furrows his eyebrows, "i don't know what the fuck you're talking about. you pushed her away by your careless actions."

"you stole my girl" tyler stares at him, "if it weren't for you, she'd be back to me already. hasn't even been a day yet, but she'd be wanting me back."

i get fed up, "tyler, that's enough. i don't want you back, i don't care about you. just leave."

he looks down at me with a little bit of hurt that quickly vanished, "you mean that?"

i nod with a roll of my eyes, "i've only been hinting at it for the entire time you've been here."

tyler finally nods and looks over at jack, "you better not touch her."

"just leave!" i raise my voice, frustration flowing through me quicker than ever. he looks down at me with a smirk, walking out of my house and closing the door himself. i lock it and sigh, feeling odd walking back to where jack was.

jack stared at me intently, "how did you stay with him for so long?"

"manipulation and selfishness. i thought he was the love of my life, i was so blindsided by young love and thinking we'd be high school sweethearts" i explain, "i didn't care that my friends hated him as my boyfriend. he is a good guy, just once you date him, he changes."

"did he ever hurt you?" jack asks, his voice quite low and hushed, almost seeming embarrassed to ask.

i shake my head, "no, never physically. he never put his hands on me in that way. he made me hurt in different ways, ways that made me think i was the fucked up bad guy in the relationship."

jack shakes his head with disappointment, "you deserve so much better than that, vanessa."

my bottom lip immediately went in between my teeth as i nod, "it's hard to realize that right now. but im sure i'll eventually realize there are better guys out there."

he nods, "trust me, you will. you'll meet someone or connect with someone who's been right in front of your eyes."

his words were so sweet, just as he was, "thank you for keeping my company."

"the feeling of a break up sucks, so i can't imagine what it feels like when someone has been so cruel to you" he states, "it's the least i could do as the guy who witnessed you getting out of your car sobbing."

i chuckle, "im an idiot for crying over him."

jack was still standing in the kitchen, leaning on island, from when tyler had come over. he walks around it to where i am standing and he looks down at me, due to our significant height difference, and shakes his head.

"you're not an idiot for doing anything."

i had only known this boy for a few days and he already had me feelings things that are insane. not literally, but im insane for thinking that i could possibly like this guy.
