Can't Take That Away From Me

Chapter 25

I am so sorry for not posting for like two weeks or something. L I’ve been busy with school and my social life – who knew I had one – and everything. I deleted tumblr on my daily routine – something I never thought I would ever do, like ever! (Sorry, I’m addicted to T-Swift’s new song) – and started focusing more on my life outside the internet.

Anyway, I’ve been pondering about what to do with this chapter since I am completely blank about this. I asked Kaye about it and she suggested some ideas but I couldn’t put the dialogue in. I don’t even know why.

Oh and hi to my seatmate, Justine, who wanted a shout out for no reason – LHEX FOREVER – here’s your beloved shout out.

OHHHH and hi to Fatima, She-ann’s friend! I was so happy when I found out she likes STCNBR :””) Trust me, I was super kilig! HEEHEEHEE.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love you guys!

HERE WE GOOO!

PS. Comment, vote, and become a fan? Please, for me? J

PSPS. Sorry for the much disorganized dialogue. I haven’t tried writing in a week and I lost my touch. Hopefully, it will go back.

PSPSPS. Super short chapter! Like a page or two or something. Wait for the next chapter. More action there heeheehee.

Chapter 25

The couple of days have gone by and I was completely paranoid, especially when I had that nightmare of Rain, and even though I was assure Nash was there beside me, I still had this instinct Rain was going to strike any time.

My friends have noticed this. They were protecting me like I was the president of a country. They secure the places I went to and made sure everything was fine.

I passed by Rain a couple of times but she would just snicker whenever she caught me looking at her. I think she knew what was going through my head.

The afternoon of Nash’s game, we had a half day so that we could watch the game. I went home to take a shower and change and before I left, Mom confronted me before I left.

“Okay, Miles, what is wrong with you?” She asked.

“What is wrong with me?” I asked back.

“I mean, it’s been a clear sign that something is wrong with you. The last time you ate dinner was the night we packed up things on your room.” She said.

She was right. Tuesday night, the girls ate dinner with us because they were helping us pack my room for the reconstruction.

“Nothing, just stress, I guess.” I said.

“Are you anorexic?” Mom asked.

I laughed. “Me? Anorexic? Mom, I may be thin but I’m not anorexic. I promise to eat dinner tonight with the rest.” I smiled. I didn’t even notice I wasn’t eating dinner. What was wrong with me?

“Okay, I’m calling Emma if you don’t.” She said.

“Okay Mom.”

“Okay Miles.”

“Sadie, stand up! Your boyfriend’s playing!” Nadine yelled.

I seriously have no idea what was happening. All I know was they were leading or something. Either way, I only cheered when our side was cheering.

“Why are you standing up? You could clearly see what’s been happening on the field in this perspective.” I said and went back to playing Temple Run on my phone. Out of nowhere, Monette took my phone. “HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!”

“No, I will not give this back. You will watch the game and you will cheer and by the end of the night, you will understand the game football.” Monette said and Jenny laughed. Jenny knew when I didn’t like to understand something; I wouldn’t understand it even if you explained it a thousand of times.

I had no other choice so I stood up and saw the players all sweaty and dirty. It was around five already and I didn’t even know the scores. I guess we were on the lead since Emma and the rest of the cheerleaders were cheering their “We Are Winning” cheer. I sighed since I had no choice but to watch Nash get smashed by another player. What was the point of playing this game if you were going to get hurt?

Instead of cheering like what my friends wanted me to do, I just pondered about what happened these past few days.

Nothing happened bad to me, especially to my health, and nothing bad happened to anyone around me. I still had the same routine going on and nothing was changed. Maybe I was being paranoid about these things. Maybe I was just thinking too hard and not focusing on what was in front of me. Maybe I –

“WE WON!” Nadine yelled and I stood up and started cheering with the rest. I saw Nash took of his helmet and his boys carried him like he was some kind of a hero and when he was brought down, I was all set to run to him and kiss him.

I was running two at a time and when I reached the bottom, I saw a brunette girl running towards him and kissed him.

Another girl kissed Nash.

Another girl kissed Nash in front of me.

Another girl kissed Nash in front of the entire Spencer Academy.

My hand was shaking and I felt the whole world just fell down on me. All I could see was in slow motion. Like nothing was right anymore. The crowd was still cheering and Nash was still kissing her. The world didn’t care whether he kissed another person, or the fact that I was in the verge of breaking down. He didn’t even bother to stop her considering that the girl wasn’t me.

Emma was staring at me, wondering why I wasn’t moving at all or running to Nash to congratulate him. She looked at her right and saw my sight.

My knees were wobbling and the next thing I knew, Rain was in front of me.

“Now you know how I feel when I found out you’re in a relationship with Nash.” She said and sashayed away with her minions. Instead of responding, I just stood there, dumbfounded.
