Beautiful Disaster

Ch.22

Today officially makes 4 days since the last time I have spoken or even saw Alec. After he dropped me off at school he gave me a kiss on the cheek and sped out of the parking lot before I could even say goodbye.

That morning I asked Dina if anything happened that would make Alec start acting as if i had the plague and all she said did was snort and say "Other than your bad ass take down of a 6 feet man in a drinking contest nothing else happened." but that didn't stop the anxious feeling I had that drunk me had slipped up. Then 4 days of Alec going ghost just confirmed my suspicions.

Deciding to find out myself why Alec decided to hide away from me I went to his dorm during my lunch period. After a few knocks a disheveled Alec opens the door.

Crossing my arms I look up at him, "Good to know you're still alive. That means I can kill you with my own bare hands."

"Skyler, what are you doing here?" He says agitated staying in the doorway.

Skyler? When does he ever call me Skyler?

Furrowing my eyebrows I search his face for any signs of a sickness. For good measure I tip-toe and place my hand on his forehead and around his face.

He flinches away from my hand. "What are you doing Skyler? Stop that."

"I'm trying to check if you have a fever cause that's the only reason why you could be ignoring me for 3 days and calling me Skyler? What's that about?"

"I'm not obligated to talk to you everyday. So again I ask, what do you want? I have important things to do."

Taking a step back I gave him a look of disbelief.
"You know what? Go fuck yourself Alec." I said before storming out of his dorm. I had heard him call my name but I still kept going.

He was such an asshole. Of course he wasn't obligated to talk to me but we have an agreement and we were friends, atleast I thought we were. So maybe he didn't owe me any conversation but that didn't make his words hurt any less.

The worst part of all this was that I still didn't get to find out what happened the other night.

For the next 2 weeks since I stormed out of his room I was exhausted. I had finals all week before Christmas break and judging by the amount of sleep I had gotten the past 2 weeks I was sure I failed at least 2 of them.

It had been 2 weeks since I stormed out of Alec's dorm and 1 week since he's been texting and calling me to apologize. Although I could've forgave him & moved on I decided to take the low route and drag this out for as long as I could.

Between you and I though, I missed him. Every cell in my body was begging for me to forgive him so I could finally get some sleep but my pride? My pride said no. I had finally admitted to myself that what I felt for Alec was a crush, that would go away if I didn't feed into it. This was my way of keeping control over my feelings because Alec was an asshole and I promised myself Carter was the last asshole I would ever give the time of day.

Turning into my driveway, I noticed Alec's truck parked across the street from me. Confused, I look towards the house looking for the "for sale" sign I saw every morning for the past year. Shaking my head I shrugged off the thought of Alec actually moving in across the street. Many people have a truck like his this was my minds way of playing tricks on me.

Walking into my house I heard laughs but one laugh stuck out from the rest. Walking deeper into the kitchen I saw mom, alec , & Ms. Carlson all laughing around the table.

"Oh honey you won't believe it? Guess who moved in across the street?" My mom said upon seeing me. Internally screaming that I saw this coming I smile & look at Ms. Carlson.
