Until Her...

Chapter Twenty-Four

As soon as I get outside Gabriel grabs me and starts dragging me to his car.
"I'm not getting in a car with you, especially when you've been drinking" I shout at him as he keeps pulling me.
"I didn't drink tonight"
"I'd rather get a taxi" I try to pull out of his arms, but I'm stumbling around so he's keeping me from falling.
"I'm not letting you get in a car with a complete stranger while you're this drunk"
"You don't let me do anything. I can do whatever I want" I slur.
"Ok, sure Norah" he ignores me, so I yank my arms free and stand my ground.
"Maybe I'll go back upstairs and let that guy take me home" I say raising my eyebrows looking dead serious.
"You wouldn't" he eyes burn with the loathing he has for me.
"Watch me" I tell him, and I start walking back towards the hotel entrance.
"Norah I swear to god if you go back in there..." he threatens me.
"What? What are you going to do about it?" I push him with words but my body get's really close to him. He kisses me so I push him off, and slap him across the face.
"Don't fucking touch me. What the hell is wrong with you!" I shout at him. I regret hitting him, but I'm just so angry. My anger always gets the better of me. He looks completely flat, no expression at all on his face. He just grabs my arm yanks the car door open.
"Get in the fucking car, Norah. Now!" he yells forcing me into the passenger seat of his car.
We stay silent for most of the ride back as I'm too angry to talk to him.
"So who was the guy back there?" he asks me.
"No, I'm not doing this with you" I snap, and turn to him. "I need you to be honest with me for once, or I'm getting out of this car"
"Fine" he snaps at me before I open the door.
"Why didn't you say it was your exhibition I'm working on?" I ask him. I didn't want to ask this but he's just agreed to be honest so maybe I'll finally get answers.
"You'd never agree to do it if you knew it was mine" He's right I wouldn't have.
"Now who was that guy up there?" he asks as if we're taking turns grilling each other. Only bringing him up so he can make fun of me for it.
"Who Harry?" I play dumb.
"He wanted to fuck you" His hands tighten on the steering wheel. Is sex all he thinks about?
"Don't be ridiculous" I scoff and roll my eyes.
"You don't think I noticed him staring at you all night?" he says as if I've done something wrong.
"So what if he did. It's none of your business"
"I guess you'll open your legs for any fucking guy who gives you a moment's attention" Who the fuck does he think he is, talking to me like that. I go to get out of the car but he switches the locks on.
"You're seriously going to lock me in here. Why do you give a fuck, you've slept with hundreds of girls"
"You're not getting out while I'm driving" he says reasonably, "Why do you care how many girls I've slept with anyway"
"I don't, but I do wonder how many want to stick around you afterward. None I expect, cause I sure as hell didn't" I say just to hurt him.He brashly pulls the car over to the side of the road, momentarily freaking me out. He gets out of the car and storms off, so I chase after him.
"What is your problem" I shout at him.
"You, you're my problem" he stops, turning around and yells in my face.
"I've done nothing to you. You're the one constantly screwing with my feelings. I'm not going to sit back like a good little girl and listen to you say shit about me" And he storms off again.
"I don't understand you" I scream and he walks towards me standing inches from my face.
"That makes two of us sweetheart, you're no peach yourself. So stop acting like some innocent little princess, you say equally harsh shit to me"
"Why did you bring Avery tonight? And tell me the truth this time" I ask him. I need to know.
"Cause I knew it would piss you off"
"Yeah, I don't like you using my friends" I semi-lie.
"That's not why it pissed you off. You wanted the truth, how about you start doing the same" he says calling me out.
"You want the truth? The truth is I can't stand being around you. I fucking hate you" I scream. I forcefully walk back to dorms as I can't be anywhere near him. I wish we'd never met, and my life could go back to how they were before I met this fucked up boy. I need to tell Avery the truth about Gabriel, even if it ruins my relationship with her. Even if it means losing my best friends from all the secrets and lies. I can't trust Gabriel to keep his mouth shut. He'll most likely say something to them, just to hurt me. My friendship with them is the most important thing I've ever had in my life. I'll do whatever it takes, but they have to forgive me.
