It's Complicated

Jealous Much?

As I climbed the steps to my ugly school Eli calls my name. "Yeah?" I say smiling and wrapping an arm around him. He gives me a small tight smile. "What's wrong?" I questioned. "I saw you with him." I stop. I hadn't even thought about Eli. In fact, I haven't even told him about Oliver. "It was nothing." I reply.

"Oh sure... Smiling and laughing and gazing was nothing." He said his voice growing louder.

"Trust me! We met over the Internet and became friends! Now we met up and we are friends! Nothing happened!" I practically shout. I earned a few glances from other students.

"Nothing happened? NOTHING? I thought you were better than this!" Eli shouts. I walk quickly to my locker with Eli on my tail. I open my locker slowly.

"Eli, Babe, why would I cheat on you?" I whisper.

"I don't know. But you better not be all love like with him again." He snapped. He slammed his locker and stormed away. His locker was next to mine and so we saw each other all the time. I sigh. My group of friends skid over to me asking me what happened. I blink back the tears put a smile on and act like nothing happened. As I pushed myself away from them walking to my class I saw someone familiar... Oliver. He waves to me smiling sweetly and happily. I smile back.

"Hi" he says.

"Hey." I smile.

"What's up?" He asks starting to walk with me.

"I'd rather you not talk to me, at least not here." I sigh.

"Why? Have I said something?" His voice sounding sad.

"No. See I have a boyfriend. He saw us. He's really mad please I don't want you to get hurt! Please just stay away." I wipe a few tears and failing. He takes his thumb and wipes them away gently. "HEY!" I gasp. Eli's voice. I turn. I run to him and try to hold him back. Pushing me out of the way his fist connects with Oliver's face.

"STAY AWAY! SHES MINE!" He yells.

I scramble to my feet. Blocking his next punch with my face i stagger back. Eli's face turns immediately with sorrow. "I-I-I am so-" Eli starts. "No. Don't be. Let's take a break." I whisper rubbing my now red face. The crowd gasps and slowly starts to break apart. I bend down to pick my books up. "Are you okay?" Oliver asks.

I shook my head. Tears streaming down my tingling cheeks. "I'm so sorry." He says. Helping me up he wipes my tears. Making no effort once again. "Go." I turn to Eli.

"No-" he starts once again but I cut him off.

"Yes. We need to talk about our relationship." I whisper.

"I never meant that." He says before taking off.

I storm over to my locker. I don't care about my make up. I don't care who sees me. I don't care who judges me. I don't care.

I run all the way home. And put myself to bed for the rest of the day. Closing my eyes. Letting go of everything. My phone is going crazy. I gaze at the lit device. All the texts saying,"OMG I HEARD WHAT HAPPEN! ARE YOU OK?" Or the occasional "I hope you get better." I threw my phone. It hits the wall and hits the hard wood flooring in my room. Sliding to a stop at the foot of my bed. I groan. Sitting up i pick up the phone. My screen shattered. I cry. Not for my phone. Not for Eli or Oliver. Just because I'm not strong enough. Alex rushes into my room. Wide eyes and open mouth. I look at her through the up coming tears that blur my vision. I stand out of my bed. She quickly embraces me into a hug. I collapse into her, being so glad to have my best friend. "I thought things would get better Hun." She said rubbing my back. I didn't answer only a sob coming through the pillow. The door bell rings. Oh god. Better not be Eli. I have already had bad luck today. I hear Alex reply with,"Yeah come in." I hear steps up the stair case. Oliver. I smile weakly and tears coming down my cheeks. He hugs me tightly. "I am so sorry." He said pulling back.

"It's not your fault..." I sniffle.

"If I were your boyfriend I would never hurt you in anyway." He smiles.

I smile back. Feeling the awkward tension as silence fills the room I say,"Thanks for being here for me guys." Alex smiles giving me a comforting look. Oliver smiles warmly and hugs me. I smile and wipe the last remaining tears. "So who wants some dinner?" I say. They both reply with,"Yeah!" We all got in my car and took off to Subway. The car ride there was in silence. Awkward much? Alex breaks the silence by giggling. Oliver and I look at the laughing girl in the back seat. "What?" I ask obviously confused. She giggles even more. Pointing towards the center counsel. We look down. Our hands were touching. I never knew that. My cheeks blushed a furious red. I pulled my hand away and put it on the steering wheel. Oliver didn't take away his had. He just looked comfortable. It started to pour right when we pulled into the Subway's parking lot. I groan. Rain. I hated it. "Alright we will run for it. I want my sandwich!" Alex chants. "I'm not going anywhere," I thought. The door swings open. Arms wrap around me. I scream. I shut my eyes the rain getting in them. I hear a door shut. I'm in subway? The person lets me down. Oliver? My cheeks blush furiously as I try to hide them. "Thanks." I mutter.

1 hour later

Soaked to the bone Oliver, Alex, and I walk through the door. Kicking the door shut with my foot and run up the steps to my room. Stripping my wet clothes off, I try to dry my hair with a towel. I pull on some dark grey sweats and a plain white shirt. Pulling my hair into a messy bun, I quickly run down the steps into the kitchen. Oliver had his shirt off. "What are you doing?" I ask.

"Looking I'm still hungry."

"I thought we just ate!" I say.

"Yeah we did... And I was still hungry." Oliver said raising his eyebrows.

"Put on your shirt!" I say rolling my eyes becoming upset.

"Woah." Alex says walking into the fridge. I turn around crossed my arms and gave her a look.

"Sorry that I am just too hot for both of you." Oliver smirks not taking his eyes off the fridge. Both me and Alex blush and giggle. Oliver joins in on the giggles. Alex leaves to go back for something family related. Oliver pulls on his shirt and shoes. We stand there in silence for a while. Breaking the silence he hugs me and says,"Had fun hanging with you." I reply,"Thanks for being there for me." I whisper. He stares at me. Still in his grasp. He bends a little. Pulling my long black hair out of the way he brushes his lips against mine ever so lightly. I pulled back awkwardly. "Sorry." He muttered. And just like that he disappeared.
