Behind the Hoodie (Discontinued)

Chapter Twenty-Three

William's POV

I sit at the farthest table away from Rachel. I try to hide my face as I walk over to the table, so she wouldn't see me. Unfortunately, as I sit down I hear her loud ass heel coming my way.

"Hey baby," she says seductively.

"What do you want, Rachel?"

"I have a question to ask you?"

"Really, I do too," I say in a mocking tone.

"Omg, seriously? Alright you go first," she says as she sits down across from me.

"Why are you so desperate for my attention, even though I said many times before that aren't going to get it. Rachel, I have tried to tell you in the nicest way possible. It's obviously not working so I feel like have to be mean. I don't like you. So. Leave. Me. Alone."

"But you liked me b-" she's cut of the sound of the bell on the door ringing.

I wave at my parents to get their attention, but also hope that Rachel will leave. But no dice.

She just sits there.

My parents walk over and as soon as they see Rachel, they feel the need to introduce theirselves.

"Hi I'm Maeve, I'm Will's mom. This is Adam, his dad. You must be Bailey, right? We've heard so many things about you," she ends with a smile. Little did she know how much she really fucked up.

"Bailey? Bailey Boyle? As in the one you help screw up her life. You know I was very shocked that you even care about her cutting, but this? This is just ridiculous. I honestly thought you were just messing with us, but now I see you're just as stupid as she is."

"Alright, that is enough. You need to leave, now!"

She scoffs and walks out of the cafe.

I look at my mom with hate-filled eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Don't you dare get that attitude with me," my mom says.

"What the hell did she mean by you ruined her life? Did you seriously make her start cutting? What would Ally think of that?"

"Don't bring her into this."

"No! Your sister died from committing suicide and you drive another girl into cutting," my mom whisper/yells.

"I didn't mean to. I didn't mean for her to start doing that."

"I'm so disappointed in you."

"Ok then. Be disappointed. I'm done here," I say and stand up, only then do I realize that we've caught everyones' attention.

"Shows over, people. Go back to your sad little conversation."

I walk back to my car and call Charlotte.

"Hello?"

"Hey Charlotte, I need to talk to Bailey."

"Alright," she sighs and starts walking to what I guess is Bailey.

"Hello," Bailey says.

"Hey. I know you told me that I should give them a chance but I can't. I tried but I can't. They found out what I used to do to you and they were so judgmental."

"How did they find out?"

"Rachel showed up and told them. I'm sorry, Bailey."

"Hey, it's okay. I mean at least you tried. Where are you going now?"

"I was going to come back to your house. If that's ok."

"Of course it is."

"Alright, then I guess I'll be there soon," I say, then hang up.
