late start dayBethany's POV
i woke up to a knock on my bedroom door
sigh "its technically five to 11" Jonah said
i didn't move "i know"
"right okay then" he said and shut the door. i went back to sleep for a bit, then got up and put on a gray thrashers hoodie, black ripped jeans and high top red converse - to match the flame - i didn't put any make up on, nor did i do my hair. i went downstairs and Jonah had made me a comfort pancake - i guess he knows then - i sat down at ate it really slow, and then when i was done i went to brush my teeth, i did that slow too, i dont know why.Jonah drove us to school and thru out the day i just kept to myself and did everything slowly - i wasn't functioning properly. i had physics first and second and when i got there the bell hadn't rung yet so everyone was around the room talking, i saw Corbyn sat at the back with one of his friends talking, i kept looking back at him when i sat down, and one time he looked at me too. i completely forgot but we had a fieldtrip to some museum - but it was all the science classes - so at least gabbie would be there.
"you should all have worksheets and a buddy" the professor said.
at the museum...
my buddy was supposed to be Corbyn - obviously but when we got on the bus i sat with gabbie and asked if she had a buddy, she said no, meaning i went with her. as we were walking in i looked behind me and saw Corbyn walking behind Jonah and one of their friends - he looked really upset. it was actually quite fun walking around and doing the work with gabbie until she needed to sit down, i told her id go finish it off by myself, and i did. i walked past Corbyn a lot, and only once did he manage to look back and see me, that's when i stopped at one of my "checkpoints". i stood there reading the plaque and by habit i grabbed the necklace he got me and played with it, somehow the minute i did that i had the urge to look to one side - and of course i locked eyes with him, he lightly smiled and i could see the pain in his expression, all i could do was look away quickly, then walk away just as fast - i got to this really nice space exibit showing all the stars and i thought he would of stayed where he was, but a few seconds later he was stood next to me, i looked over and at the same time he did too, then we looked back at the display. i didn't relise but i was still playing with the necklace and i could tell he was looking at me
"o-oh sorry umm - you probably want this back right?" i said and started to take it off
"o-oh yah.... yeah s-sure....." he said, he didn't look at me. i put it in one hand and gave it to him, he took it from me and wrapped it around his hand, then he backed away slowly and left me, i went back to find gabbie luckily she hadn't moved so i just sat with her.when i got back home i didn't speak to Jonah as i got in i just went to bed again.
the next morning....
9.53 ami sat up and looked around my room - Barnaby was sleeping next to me. i couldn't get up i felt weak and useless without Corbyn, i decided to just lay in bed all day. but i had a idea, so i got changed into leggings and a t-shirt before texting someone i hadn't texted in i dont know years maybe
Christina
Bethany
can you come to were we used to hang out, under the pier, in like 15 minutes?i sat there and waited but she didn't respond, i decided id just go there anyway, the walk might clear my mind. when i got there all of out stuff was still there, we had a little sofa put up right at the very back - the water couldn't get that high - and i sat there for ages thinking for what went wrong, i had my eyes closed but i heard footsteps approaching, so i opened my eyes and it was Christina.
"hi" i said and looked down
"hey" she replied and leaned against one of the legs? of the pier, there was an awkward silence for a bit."y-you probably know but me and Corbyn broke up the other day" i said and nodded, trying to keep the tears in
"mhmm" she replied
"one of the reasons for that was you. he always put you first - like he wasn't over you - i didn't even know you two dated" she didn't say anything, but she was just looking around
"y-you are so wrong about Corbyn you know? he is completely fucking obsessed with you" she chuckled "oh and he has told me that - many times" she added
"oh and the reason i always go to him for help is not to hurt you, Bethany, hes the only person ive ever really trusted - and my grandad has just died and my parents are always fighting - Corbyn is good at helping, you should know"
i nodded. she sat on the floor while i was on the sofa and we stayed there for a good hour id say, we didn't talk much but it wasn't awkward. even tho i absolutely hate her, i felt happy again, like we were kids you know?after that we both went home - of course i walked back - she lived on the other side of town so she went a different way.
a few hours later
i was laying in bed watching TV and i got a text, it was Daniel
