Wishing for something more // Book two

Chapter 13

Vincent's p.o.v

I drive home with Arabella in the passenger seat, she was singing along to the lyrics of the song that was playing on the radio, it was taylor swifts 'we are never getting back together',  I laughed as she was screaming on the top of her lungs.

I know what your thinking, that i was supposed to wait for Quinn. But it was so much easier said than done,  i mean i think of her alot of the time. But she gave me up, said i'd be happier without her, not true. But i can't stop my life because of it. I just have to accept that. She'd probably be running back to Ryan in no time, that's if he's alive.

We pull up and we get out of the car. We go inside and Geniveve  hops down the stairs, "Hey gen, i would like you to meet Arabella." Her head tilted and she rolled her eyes passing right by her, without saying a word.

"well, i guess she doesn't like me very much," Arabella says looking a bit sad. "Gen! that's very rude, i'm sorry." I say as she looks back to see my little sister getting chips from the cabinet. We go up stairs and we chill in my room.

As we turned on the tv and did some homework, she popped the question." so, why doesn't your sister like me?" she asked, I stopped writing, feeling a wave of anxiety. "um, i'm not sure, she's usually not like that." i say trying to cover up the real answer.

"that's not it, she misses your ex doesn't she? likes her better?"  She looked down after that sentence. That was exactly it, geniveve missed Quinn, so do i but it's better this way. "no, no that's not it..gen just has to get used to you, that's all." i say grabbing her hand and she gives me a small smile in the corner of her lip.

I met Arabella at a record store, i was grabbing some applications for me to work there, four weeks after i broke up with Quinn. I wasn't really interest in anyone else, after i broke up with her.. because i was willing enough to keep my promise to quinn about me fighting for us to be together. But when i got the job, Everything changed. Arabella would come there everyday after school. She was quiet, she was blonde and her green eyes just made her appearence less plain. She had freckles and little pursed lips. She dressed like if it was Autumn every single day. Like a grandma, cozy, warm.

I just started paying attention to her and i guess she noticed. So i asked her out, turns out she went to my school and i never really noticed her before. "so what did you get for that answer?" she asked pointing at a math problem."47." i say, she laughs, "that's too high!" i smiled.

It wasn't the same, butterfly effect Quinn gave me, but she did make me feel something inside. We continued hanging out, laughing, and talking. We grew more closer to each other all the time. It was like my life had finally been normal, no drama, no ryan, and no gang crap. I knew that Quinn wanted this for me with her, so did i, but as much as i want to keep on holding on i can't.

Quinn's p.o.v

After school I went straight to the house, to see if Ryan was still there. I walked up my room as i saw him he was sleeping still, just on my bed. He looked adorable, but it was time for him to wake up. I shut my door and threw my bookbag on the floor, i kicked off my shoes and sat right next to him. "maybe i'll give him a few more minutes," I whisper so he doesn't wake.

I begin to do my homework and an hour later he wakes up. He rolls on his side and faces me. His eyes gently open and he sits up, "oh your up?" I say as i shut my laptop." how long was i asleep for?" he asks. " i just got home from school, you've been sleeping all day. I let you sleep a little more because i know that you need the rest." I say. 

He sinks back down and stresses. "what time is it?" he asked." it's 4:35" I replied moving my laptop to the night stand next to me. "crap, i shouldn't be here for that long,  i should probably head out." he worries and i chuckle, "you don't got to rush, you've been damaged pretty bad."
