a great mess ✔️

MW chap.2

I dedicated this chapter to mvttyheqly
as a thank you for the supports and the decision of keep writing Greece story 🖤

Time past really, really slow as George ignored all of my text and calls. I saw him in class, but he keeps avoiding me. He looked so tired and sad and I can't do anything for it since he doesn't let me. I sat at the back of the class, watching George yawning and staring into space, mind out of the window while his face held no emotion.

I miss my bubbly and cheery and dorky George, but a certain someone obviously changed that and took it away from me. No more big smile, no more cute giggle, no more shiny eyes. I hate to say this, but I'm so miserable without him. I barely sleep, I can hardly focus on things, and my mind is a huge mess. I was so worried about him until I forget to worry about myself. That's just how much I love him.

The bell rang, snapping me out of my thought and I saw George hurriedly leaving the classroom without a single glance at me. He knew I was there. I always sat there, at the centre back row of class, and I never change that. I ran after him, trying to catch up with him but he was so fast and already disappeared through the thin air.

I walked towards the cafeteria, hanging my head low to avoid any attention. I saw at the far corner before looking around the room to find him. He surely is here, sitting on his so-called boyfriend lap, giggling and smiling widely. The thing is, I knew it was all fake. I knew him too well to believe his fake giggle, moreover his fake smile. It always seems way too forced. But no one ever picks on it, because they don't know him, not the way I do.

I saw him got up from his seat, kissing his boyfriend's cheek but that bastard held him down and forced his tongue down George's throat. I turned my head to the side, not wanting to see that hellish view. The cafeteria door snapped open and George rushing out. I picked up my things and rushed out after him. I saw the bathroom door swung shut and I followed him inside, thanking god silently that it's clear from any other student.

I stood behind the door, contemplating what to say next but he beat me to it.

"Can you move? I have a boyfriend waiting for me" He said, motioning to the door that I locked.

"No, we need to talk George," I said, a wave of nervousness hitting me hard suddenly. He sighed heavily as he rolled his blue eyes at me.

"What do you want, Reece?"

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I do?"

"Don't play it dumb, George. We both know for sure that you do"

"Well then, maybe that's because I don't want to interact with a liar, a backstabber and a betrayer too."

"What do you mean? I swear to you it wasn't me that did that to you, why do you keep accusing it to me?"

"Because Reece, you're the one that knows about it. You were so desperate for my attention until you do such a thing. You're jealous of Harvey because I spent most of my time with him and not you, so you start talking shit about him and accusing him of things he would never do"

"You accused me of things I've never and would never done!"

"Whatever, Reece. Just stay away from me! I don't want to talk to you anymore"

"No, George. It's not that easy to get rid of someone that has been in your life for ages. What kind of bullshit that he fed you? Or should I call it sweet thin while lies instead?"

"He fed me nothing, he just showed me the real you and I'm so thankful for that. So please, leave me alone"

"I can't believe you would believe someone that you just met 6 months ago over someone that you've known your whole life. But thank you for the very, very tiny faith in me." I swung the door open, leaving him behind without sparing another glance.

The next few days, things just get weirder and weirder. George looks even more exhausted than he already did, he just looks... so done. The bags under his eyes are a prominent purple and even though he covered with concealer or foundation, I don't know, I still can see through it like it was clear glass.

His neck littered in hickeys but I knew George wasn't the type to show off that kind of things. He always wore oversized sweatshirts (that I always found overly cute on him) but it's fucking summer right now.

He would always disappear during lunch time and then came back late for the next class. I have all of my classes with him, so I knew.

Every day I feel like we drove a little bit further away like we keep growing apart and apart, and I don't even know what to say, I don't know what I should do, I'm lost. It also grew harder and harder to stay away from him. His condition keeps getting worse which made me sadder than I already was. I felt like we're as close as strangers and it hurts so much. But I know I can't give up, I won't give up. What we had is too precious to be simply let go just because some bastard choose to be in the way. I know he'll come back soon, and I know I'll always wait for him, I just keep hoping and praying that, that day will come much, much sooner because I can't hold onto this any longer. It hurts too much.

My mood is all over the place,
Send helppp 🤪😱😵

Much love,
xoxo
