Need you (Dixison)

9. I don't need you

Addison's Pov
       I start searching the hall looking for one person in particular. Dixie Jane D'amelio.
I search around for about 10 minutes before I catch her turning the corner.
"DIXIE!" She stops immediately upon hearing my yell.
      "What the fuck could you possibly want Easterling." I start thinking back to the other day before shaking my head.
         I walk over to where she is.
       "I want to talk." I say calmly knowing that if she gets mad at me she could hurt me seriously.
        As much as I love Dixie, she definitely has some anger issues. I think it's from not being able to be with who she wants and not being able to express herself. She was never like this before, but no matter what happens I still love her. Even after that damn hookup.
          "We don't have anything to talk about." She says through clenched teeth.
        "Actually we have everything to talk about." I reply.
        "Watch who your speaking to. I'm not Charli." She says stepping closer to me.
       "Oh Dixie, Dixie, Dixie I'm not scared of you. I know who you are. You can't fool me." I say looking her straight in the eyes.
      She hates that. Only when someone's challenging her authority.
        She stares straight back, but this isn't the same stare as 3 1/2 years ago. She's angry and I can see it. I see it all. All the anger she's build up over these year towards me bubbling up to the surface. 
        The next bell rings but neither of us dare move as students start to flood the halls. 
        Two minutes later we're surrounded by a giant crowd watching our fight. In the background I can see Avani holding Charli in her arms. She still looks pretty torn up about Dixie.
      "You say that now, but when I'm done with you your pathetic self will be running home begging to go back to Louisiana." She spits out.
        "No I won't because unlike you I don't run away from my problems!" I yell in her face!
      I hear muffled words in the background from the crowd. They must have never seen anyone stand up to Dixie.
      "You little bitch!" Says grabbing my shirt.
       "It's true, you moved then you decided to run away from your problems by hooking up with all these girls. Something to make you forget what you couldn't forget in the end." I say right back to her.
       "Look here Easterling, this is my school, this is my life. You're just an obsessed little bitch."
      "Hit me." I whispered making sure no one can hear.
      She looks a little shocked.
       "STOP! STOP FIGHTING!" We both look over to see Kate running this way.
        "NO!" Dixie yells.
        I give Ondreaz a look telling him to grab Kate and keep her back in the crowd.
       He nods and grabs her before she can get to us.
         "LET ME GO! ONDREAZ I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL END YOUR EXISTENCE!" She yells as she's  being carried back to the crowd.
         "Now where were we? Oh yeah, you don't own me." She say walking forward and pushing me backwards towards the lockers.
        "You love me Dixie, you can't deny it. I can see it behind all the hatred. You love me. You wanna be with me, you wanna be like you're sister and Avani, but you want it to be me. I can see everything. No matter how hard you deny it, I'm you're best friend and I know you better than you know yourself. So go a head and hit me, beat me up, because at the end of it I know you're putting on a show."
        "I. Don't. Love. You. You're pathetic!" She throws me against the locker.
       My back hits the the wall of metal and I fall to the ground. Not going to lie, that hurt like a bitch. I have to get back up though, I can't let her win.
I stand up and everyone in the crowd seems to be shocked.
"Oh, you actually want a problem, I see you Easteling. You wanna be all big and bad? Go ahead swing." She says looking at me.
"No, because I never said I wanted to hurt you. So if you want to hit me, Do. It." I knew she felt threatened that someone was challenging her authority
"Go ahead Dix, what are you waiting for?"
"Nothing bitch!" She says pinning me back again the locker.
She pulls back her fist just like it was the other day, except for I wasn't scared. I look around to see almost everyone holding their breath. No one dared to exhale. For this was the moment no one could have ever seen coming. I knew she was about to let go. So right as she did I looked to her and quietly said
"I love you Dixie."
My words distracted her and she hit the metal locker behind me.
"Never mind you get the fun treatment." She says cracking her knuckles.
She grabs my shirt and pushes me away from the locker.
"So you think you can do whatever you want?" She pushes.
"No, but I know you love me." I reply.
"You think you knows me?" She pushes me harder.
"I do, I know you better than you know yourself.
"You don't know me, I don't love you, and you're just a pathetic and obsessed little bitch." She pushes me so I fall on the ground.
"I love you Dixie, listen to me baby. I'm right here." I say.
She freezes for a second. I see her face soften up before returning to its former pissed expression.
      "Listen here Easterling, leave me alone. You don't know me." She says clenching her jaw.
        "You need me baby, it's okay. Just admit it, I'm right here. I won't hurt your.
         "I DON'T FUCKING NEED YOU! You stayed out of my life before so just keep the fuck out!" She yells at me.
         That hurt. Because it's not true, I would never let her go. I love her for her. I just wish she didn't hate me. We could be so happy if she would just open up.
         "I love you Dixie Jane, I wear this necklace everyday because I love you.  I was always there no matter how much you thought I wasn't."
          "So let me be your princess, your angel, you babygirl. I want you Dixie. You're the air inside my lungs." I whisper.
         "SHUT UP ADDS, I MEAN EASTERLING!" She yells but I smile.
        She remembers. She knows.
        "Fine, but I know that the love of my life is in there and one day she's gonna come back." I say getting of the group and walking away.
       "COME ON EVERYONE TO CLASSES!" The principal yells.
       Looks like we finished just in time.
After school
I see Charli in the hall walking towards the exit.
"Hey! Char! You're riding home with me today, remember?"
"Oh, yeah sorry, I'm just so used to Dixie bringing me home." She says walking back my way.
"I get that." I wrap my arm around her shoulder as we walk down the hall..
We walk into that parking lot to my car and get in.
After a little while of driving She breaks the silence.
"So Addi did you hear about the party at Avani's this Friday?" She asks.
"No, what party?" I question.
"Oh, yeah you left lunch early. Anyways Vani is having a party this Friday while her parents go out of town for her siblings dance competition. You should come it'll be fun, plus drunk Dixie is fun. You're gonna like it." She says.
Hmm, drunk Dixie. I wonder what she's like? Kate told me she always talks about me. This could be fun.
"Yeah. I'll definitely be there Charli." I says stopping the car as we're now at her house.
She gets out of the car and wave a goodbye. I wave back and then drive home.
Friday is gonna be fun.
