Temptation 2: Forgiving You ✔️

1

As much as I wished he'd follow me, and stop me. It's what's best for both of us. My head begins to spin with thoughts. I feel so confused, and indecisive right now I have no idea what I want to do.

When I turn the next corner, I end up running into a girl, forcing her belongings to fall. I quickly get down picking up her beg. "I'm so sorry." I say handing it back to her.

She remains quiet for a moment, before staring me down. "Hello?" I ask her. She looks at me a smiles a bit. "Oh it's nothing. Trust me it's not a problem at all." She says.

I smiled weakly at her, not really attempting to. "Are you good? You look like shit." She says chuckling. I sigh. "Saying I'm okay would be lying." It's true. I'm not okay. I feel ten times worse after speaking with Nathaniel. Why? Why did he even attempt to talk to me? I was fine before all of this I was perfectly okay.

Why did he have to show his stupid face in class?

"Let me guess, relationship problems? Guys?" She predicts correctly. I nod slowly. "It's pretty complicated." I say. She smiles.

"I know all about complicated. Want to talk about it trust me I give really good advice when it comes to stuff like this." If I talk about it I'll cry, and I've done enough crying that could last me a century.

"What's your name?" I ask curiously avoiding the subject. "Zee, my name is Zee." She says. I raise my eyebrow at her.

"Zee?"

"Yeah you know Z-E-E. I don't know my mom was drunk when she gave me my name."

I raise my eyebrows wondering if she's serious. "Wait you're not for real, right?"

She bursts into laughter and nods. "I'm just screwing with you, but yes my name is Zee." I nod slowly. "Right.." I put on a smile to avoid anything, the least I could do is show her some kind of respect. "I'm Leah, Leah Banks. It's nice to meet you, Zee."

She smiles back at me. "You too, now do you want to tell me what's going on?" My best guess is she's not leaving this alone at all. I sigh. "The guy that I like- well both of them.." I paid and she raises her eyebrow curiously at me.

"Both of them? Jeez how many guys do you like?" She questions almost sounding a bit astonished, yet shook. I chuckle lightly and nervously rubbed along my elbow. "Uh..like I said it's complicated. It's only two right now.."

"Oh so you plan on having feelings for someone else?" She quickly asks.

I look at her with wide eyes, immediately shaking my head. "No! Two is already enough for me!" I say in defense.

"Oh so it's two! Damn girl which one are you choosing?" Man! She asks a lot of questions. As all of her questions rush through my head I turn a bit seeing a familiar back. Blue hair, piercings..please don't be who I think it is..

then directly in front him..wait..

I recognize those blue eyes from anywhere. Sam. It's fucking Sam and Tyler. I freeze for a quick second, forgetting Zee is in my presence.

"Hello, earth to Leah." She then snaps her fingers bringing me back into reality. "You look like you've seen a ghost." She says.

I have, two actually.

"Yeah uh, Zee? I'll see you around I'm sorry I really need to go." I say.

She gives me a confused look, and nods. "I'll see you around then." A grin begins to fill her lips. "Maybe you can tell me about these guys you can't seem to choose between." She says walking off.

The roll my eyes, and shake off her words.

"Choosing"

Is that the case? I want to constantly avoid them, not because of what they did..but because if I'm more afraid of what would happen if I chose one of them over the other?

Will I lose them? Or will I lose myself in the process of choosing?

I look up from my shoes and up and both Sam, and Tyler looking at me. My mouth begins to dry, and I stare at them before giving a very weak smile.

Sam looks at me, sympathy in his eyes, and before he gets the chance to speak. I quickly walk off. I can't..I can't talk to them yet. If I do my entire plan of "starting fresh" would be for nothing.
