It's Complicated

Confused

I groan. Rubbing my head I sit up. I'm in a bed, not my bed. I slip out of bed and open the bedroom door. Going down the steps cautiously I think,"Who's house is this?" Pushing open a door leading to the kitchen I hear a voice. "Hello?" I ask my voice becoming shaky. Oliver. He comes through the door,"You are awake!"

"Yeah. My head hurts." I say rub the now sore spot. "What happened?"

"I came to Eli's house cause you seemed to be in trouble. You told me that you we at Eli's house. I kinda guess you wanted me there? Anyways, you seemed to be passed out on the bed and Eli tying you down. I took him out and brought you back here." Oliver explained. He leaned against the sink his arms crossed.

"Wow."

"Yeah" he shrugged.

"How long have I been out?" I ask nervously.

"Good few hours."

"Oh. It's really late then."

"About 1:00 a.m." Oliver said.

"I better get going... Where is my stuff?"

"Over here!" Oliver disappeared to another room and retrieved my things.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"No for getting me out and keeping me safe." I smile.

"It's cool." He smiles back. An awkward silence fills the air. After a few moments Oliver hugs me tightly. "I would never let anyone hurt you."

Next day (homecoming)

Alex and I were hanging out at the mall. Alex brought up a conversation.

"I heard what happened."

"What?"

"Eli? You and Eli?"

"What do you mean?" I say becoming nervous.

"There are posts all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and-"

"Where's Oliver?" I snap cutting her off.

"I think he's working at a kiosk?"

I storm over to Oliver. I yank him down to my height. "Why did you post the pictures?" I growl.

"What? Those pictures? Wha-wha- I wouldn't ever!" He stammered.

"Liar."

"Please! I only have a Facebook that I never post on!"

I open my iPhone and look on his page. No posts.

"You didn't?"

"Positive!"

I reluctantly let him go.

"Ahem? Sir? I was wondering about you project?" I customer interrupted.

I let go and said,"We will talk about this later..." I nod to the customer and practically run over to Alex. I told her everything.

"Woah." Was her only reply.

"Yeah."

"Do you like him?" Alex said raising her eyebrows.

"Maybe..." I blush.

"Go out with him."

"But what if he doesn't li-" I was cut off by Alex dragging me over to Oliver. Oliver was with a few friends. A girl was on Oliver kissing him. He was kissing back. Tears flooded my eyes. I back away. Running out of the mall into the car and Alex followed. In silence she took me home. I ran all the up to my room ignoring my mother.

I stayed in my room for hours. Crying and eating ice cream. Alex came on the 6th hour of me in my room.

"Woah!" She said. "Did a tornado go through?" Alex tiptoed around the dirty clothes and stuff. I uncover and stand. Her hand immediately goes to her nose. Pushing me to the bathroom she shuts the door on me. "TAKE A SHOWER!" She screeched. "HOMECOMING IS IN 4 HOURS!" I come out of my refreshing shower. She has my light blue dress in her hands. Wiggling her eyebrows she giggles. Alex sits me down and does my hair and makeup for 2 hours. And then we put on our dresses. Hers pink and mine blue. We take our usual pictures. Right when I have my hand on the door about to go to the dance the doorbell rings. Opening it we gasp.
