Hopeless Honey

The same

"I'll pick you up behind the school" the text read.

"Why behind?" I texted back

"That's where I parked" he responded quickly.

"I saw your Jeep out front this morning, if you don't want to be seen with me that's fine" He read the message but hadn't responded. I knew where this was going.

I knew he was trying to act a certain way in front of these people, but they were all fake. None of them had any true character, and if they did, they were hiding it.

"Can you just come out back?"he texted again. He didn't even bother denying it.

"I'd rather walk" that was the last thing I said to him.

When the last bell rang, I walked out the front door and started making my way home, well, to the Callahans.

He called me three times but I didn't answer.

"Where are you" he texted.

I can't believe he would be such an asshole. It was really eye opening to see how he acted in front of his rich friends. I also felt like a fucking idiot for sucking his dick last night.

Why was it that when we were alone he made me feel so special. But in front of others it was like he had a wall up. I was angry and sad, but I was mostly embarrassed.

I also noticed that he gave that special look to just about any girl who batted their lashes at him.

The walk was way longer than I had accounted for and after a few blocks I felt kinda dumb. I ordered an Uber and got home a few minutes later.

Xavier was already home, he was laying on the couch eating a bowl of chips. Looking at him made me angry. The worst part was that he looked like he didn't even care.

I walked up the stairs, completely ignoring him. My mom and the girls were out and the Callahans were still at work.

I heard the bowl slam into the table and he started jogging up the steps after me.

"Honey, listen I'm sorry" I ran to my room and shut the door in his face.

"Oh, now you wanna talk to me?" I yelled.

"Honey, open the door" he wiggled the knob.

"Leave me alone, you're an asshole" I yelled.

"Honey" he sighed

I swung open the door

"The back of the school? Really?" I yelled again.

"Listen, I only said that because I didn't want people to talk. They would have started rumors the second they saw us." He said back.

"Are you sure? Or is it that you didn't want them to see you with your poor little maid?" I spat

He was quiet for a second. "Is that what you think of me, Honey?"

"I don't know anymore. I thought I knew you, but you're different with them." was all I could say. He moved into the doorway coming closer.

"You don't understand!" He was angry now.

"Then help me understand!" I felt myself getting hot.

"It's not that easy, Honey" he was frustrated

"Yeah, it is." I said slowly. "It doesn't have anything to do with character, or the way I look." My eyes watered. "It's only about how much I have in my pocket!"

"I'm sorry, I wish it was different" he breathed out "I was worried about you, you know" he said softly, this was a major difference from the yelling.

"You seemed just fine." I said coldly

"How'd you get home?" He asked curiously.

"I walked" I said plainly.

"I know you didn't walk it would have taken almost an hour" he crossed his arms.

"What do you care, pendejo?" I spat

"What, did Noah give you a ride?" He rolled his eyes.

I laughed out loud, mocking him. "The truth is revealed!" I said loudly. "Why are you so jealous of Noah and I?"

"Jealous? Don't flatter yourself" he laughed. "What are you dating or something?" He scoffed.

"I didn't even get a ride from him! I took an Uber!" I tried to shut the door again, but he held it open.

"Honey, please, I don't want to fight with you, why cant we be like we were last night?" He caressed my cheek softly.

This made my blood boil. I felt like he only wanted to use me when he was lonely. I was just a bed warmer in his eyes.

"Is that all I am to you?" I pushed him away

"You know that's not what I meant!" He yelled back. He tried to come closer.

"If you just want someone to mess around with, why don't you go text one of those girls from class, I'm sure they'll be happy to help."

"Maybe I will!" He continued yelling. He looked so mad I thought he would explode.

"Who are you gonna call tonight? Scarlett? Rebecca? Sofia? Or is it all the same to you?!" I was screaming now

"I don't want any of them! I wan-" He was red and he looked angry.

"Just leave me alone" I slammed the door for the last time and he didn't try and stop me.
