Asshole || mattia polibio

chapter 14

y/n: mom-
mom: mattia, i think it's best if you leave
mattia: yes ma'am...

he gets in his car and drives away and my mom walks back inside. i chase after her.

y/n: i'm sorry mom
mom: what were you thinking?
y/n: i'm sorry, i can't control my feelings for him. i don't want to like him mom— i've been avoiding it for you and neil but i can't do it.
mom: (sighs) you can't continue this
y/n: but mom-
mom: no you can't. it's too weird y/n. it's messed up.
y/n: it's not like you're married to him ?
mom: we cant both date them
y/n: why not, we can go on double dates
mom: this is not funny
y/n: i know i know i'm sorry mom

we stare at each for a little bit and she looks so disappointed. but it's not like we're related by blood.

y/n: okay i won't pursue mattia

my mom looks at me and goes to her room without saying anything

text from mattia

mattia: is everything okay ?

she's really mad at me

mattia: i'm sorry

it's not your fault. but nothing
can happen between us i'm sorry

mattia: no don't say that

i'm doing this for my mom

mattia: i am not losing a
chance at happiness

you'll find happiness with another
person i promise. but the timing
right now isn't right. maybe
someday okay?

mattia: i'll wait for you for
as long as possible

no don't. don't wait for me

mattia: i want to

well you can't. i know i sound
bitchy but i'm not doing
this to hurt you. it's for your
own good. bye

mattia: don't do this
seen
mattia: please y/n let's work something out
seen

that was one of the hardest things i've had to do. with all this and taylor back, it's only be a matter of time before i crack.

-

i wake up and get ready for school but a part of me was scared that taylor was going to be at school with me.

i get dressed and walk downstairs to say hi to my mom but she just ignores me

y/n: i said i wasn't going to be with mattia. i don't know what else you want me to do

nothing.

y/n: fine i'll see you later

i walk out the door and drive to school.

i meet up with devin and we walk to 1st period together and y'all already know mattia is sitting in front me.

a few minutes into class and someone walks into the room with a bunch of flowers and chocolate.

teacher: y/n it's for you
devin: justin maybe (she winks)
mattia: you still talking to justin ?
y/n: why wouldn't i be ? (i walk up and grab the flowers)

my eyes widen. they weren't from justin
devin: y/n you okay ?
y/n: yeah all good (i take a seat and whisper) they're from taylor. "white roses were always your favorite flowers ❤️ open the box of chocolate xoxo, T"

i open the box of chocolate and i could smell the weed inside the chocolate. there was another note.
"here's your favorite milk chocolate with a twist. i hope you're enjoying all these gifts i'm sending you. again, see you soon;)"

mattia: what the fuck
devin: this is getting scary
y/n: i feel sick
devin: what did taylor do to make you so scared ?

it wasn't what taylor did, it was what i did and she's the only who knows.

y/n: uh nothing i'm just on edge because it's been a year that's all. i have to throw away the chocolate before someone figures out there's weed in them.

at lunch i go off campus and throw it in the dumpster. if taylor knew i was here she could be watching me at any time— at any moment. i had to always be cautious.

i walk to my lunch table where devin hollis and felix are sitting and sit down with them

hollis: you okay?
y/n: oh yeah i just got rid of the weed chocolates
feliz: you could've just given them away instead. what a waste
devin: so you don't know why she moved away and why she's back ?
y/n: no i dont

i'm pretty sure they don't believe me. they always know when i'm lying but there's nothing i could do.

-

i drive home around 6pm and as i pulling up in the driveway i can see that my mom's car isn't there.

i open the door and shut it behind me while still looking at the door

_____: hey babe
y/n: (i turn around) oh my god taylor ?
taylor: i've missed you so much (she goes up and hugs me)
