Chapter 11-You Don't Deserve My Tears

To say that I was feeling heartbroken would be the understatement of the century.

There standing in front of me was the boy who I had just been on the best date of my entire life with, kissing another girl with all the passion he could never express with little old me.

I could feels tears prickling in the corners of my eyes but I refused to let them fall down my cheeks and show how vulnerable, and hurt, I truly was. Liam didn't deserve my tears if he made a mistake like this.

"Hey Kate, you left your cell phone at the lun-" Alex's voice rang out from behind me, but came to a sudden stop. I could hear him intake a sharp breath as his eyes caught onto what mine had been sending daggers towards.

Suddenly, I felt Alex place his cold hand on top of my shoulder. Instinctively, I shuttered away from his touch and crossed my arms over my chest. Honestly, I felt a bit bad for doing so but I did not want to be touched by anyone or anything at that point.

"Are you alright Kate?" Alex asked me in a calming voice. He sounded like he was almost embaressed for his brothers actions.

I nodded only one, "Fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, Liam is kissing Mandy over there so I thought you'd be a little upset..."

"Thank you for pointing it out captain obvious!" I shouted, turning around to face him. I swear it must've looked like I was one of those cartoon characters where smoke comes out of their ears when they are angry.

The hallways went silent and a few people gave me dirty looks as they passed by me. My heart was pounding in my chest like a drum when Alex's eyes suddenly widened looking at something behind me.

Slowly, I turned my head to look backwards. Instantly, I regretted doing so because looking right back at me was Liam with Mandy's lip gloss smeared all across his pink lips. His eyebrows were furrowed together in a mix of confusion and sorrow, but I didn't care less about how 'sorry' he was feeling at that point.

He had been caught in plain sight, and he would have to pay for what he did.

As much as I yearned and wanted to turn away from his gaze,  I couldn't. It seemed as we were almost having a silent conversation through our minds. Of course, I was screaming innapropriate words at him but he most likely couldn't tell.

The look on his face broke my heart even more than seeing him kissing her.

"Kate..." he finally called as he pushed Mandy out of his arms. She scowled at him of course as he turned his back to her and walked towards me with quick strides.

He came up close to me about a foot away and just stared into my eyes. It took all that was in me to not break down into tears and call him names that I would later regret. His blue eyes were filled with worry. No, they were filled with fear.

"Kate, I can explain."

I shrugged, "There's nothing to explain Liam. I get it, okay."

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "What do you mean you get it?"

I licked my lips, trying to hold back my tears. "I get that I was just one of those girls. The one who you make feel special for five seconds. The girl who you bring movies over to her house because you 'want to spend time with her.' I get it that you just used me and that's fine. I'm over it."

"Kate, what the hell are you talking abo-"

"Just leave me alone Liam." And with that, I turned and strutted my way through the hallway. I ignored all the whispers and comments as I pushed through the main school doors. Angrily, I slammed it shut tight and ran out into the parking lot where a small bench was.

Calmly, I sat down on the bench and let my heart slow down to a normal pace.

It was at that moment, that I finally let a small tear trickle down my cheek as the bell rang for the next class period to begin.
