Why Don't You Love Me?

Chapter 30

"Okay so what is the plan?" I asked Alan as he got his books from his locker.

"I don't know. Any ideas?" He asked as he closed his locker and look down to see me.

I thought for a little bit. We walked over to the next class together as I thought about a way to find out who was putting alcohol in Aaron's drink.

"I got it!" I exclaimed.

Alan raised an eyebrow and gave me a small smile.

I told him the plan and he nodded. I had hated the idea of what he had to do but we had to. He didn't look excited about it but he agreed to do it.

The bell rang and we continued to have a regular day.

I showed up to school a lot earlier than usual and ran to Alan. He sat on the bleachers and waited.

"I'm guessing she hasn't arrived yet?" I asked him.

He jumped a little and sighed.

"Don't do that." He said.

I laughed and shook my head. He frowned and narrowed his eyes, obviously annoyed. I cleared my throat and sat up straight.

"You didn't answer my question." I said.

He shook his head.

"No. She hasn't arrived yet." He said as he made eye contact with me.

"You remember the plan right?" I asked.

He nodded and once he did the doors to the gym opened. I quickly wished him luck and went out of the other door. I pushed myself against the wall and only let my head stick out.

"Elizabeth!" Alan called out with a smile on his face.

Her eyes widened a little bit and she smiled awkwardly as she held her backpack in her left hand. He got up while she kept glancing at the door to the boy's locker room.

"Hey babe. What are you doing here?" Alan asked once he was in front of her.

I cringed at the sound of him calling her babe. I entered the gym and hid.

"Oh nothing sweety. I was just taking a small walk." She said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Oh, yeah?" Alan asked as he pulled her closer to him.

Her eyes widened a little bit but she quickly smirked and started to flirt with him. I felt like jumping out and knocking her off her feet but I stopped myself.

Alan put his finger under her chin and gently moved her chin upwards so she could look him in the eyes.

I swallowed hard but readied myself. Alan brought his face closer to Elizabeth's as she closed her eyes and puckered her lips. Alan got closer and closer until he was about two millimeters away from her lips.

I felt my heart send a pain throughout my chest but I swallowed and ignored it as usual.

'You are with Aaron.' I kept telling myself.

Elizabeth kept her eyes closed which gave Alan the opportunity. He grabbed her backpack out of her hand and turned around very quickly.

"Angel!" Alan called out.

I jumped out and he tossed it to me. I immediately began to look through it after I caught it.

"You traitor! Let go of me!" Elizabeth screamed as she struggled to break out of Alan's arms.

Her face was full of rage and she was staring at me. I threw a lot of her stuff out and froze. I looked up at Alan and we made eye contact. I felt a lump in my throat and I pulled out a bottle of alcohol. Alan and Elizabeth froze, her eyes were on me as if I were her prey.

"I-it was you." I whispered as I stared at her in shock.

She refused to say a word, instead she gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes.

"You were the one making my boyfriend drunk." I said as stood up and gripped the bottle tightly.

Rage boiled inside me. I was tempted to hit her with the bottle but I decided not to because I didn't want to accidentally kill her.

"Why?" I said through gritted teeth.

She refused to answer which made me a lot angrier. I used all of my strength to hold myself back. Alan looked angry as well but he continued to hold her.

"Why?!" I yelled angrily.

Alan and Elizabeth flinched a little bit. I didn't even realize that I was gripping the bottle so tight that my knuckles were white.

"Because I hate the fact that you are happy!" She admitted.

I stiffened and clenched my jaw even tighter. I quickly put the alcohol bottle in her backpack and waved my hand, signaling for Alan to let her go. He obeyed and backed away. I walked up to Elizabeth and shoved the bag into her arms. She almost lost her balance.

"Leave. Aaron. Alone." I told her.

She narrowed her eyes and held her bag tightly.

"I'm looking forward to not seeing you at this school." I said, smirking.

Her eyes widened and she stared at me, shocked. Her shock immediately turned into rage.

"You wouldn't." She said through gritted teeth.

"How much do you want to bet?" I asked her as I moved closer to her.

She snarled and quickly spun around. Elizabeth started to walk away.

"Oh, Elizabeth." Alan said.

Elizabeth turned to look at him.

"We're done." He said.

Her eyes widened and she stiffened.

"Wh-what?" She asked.

"I'm breaking up with you, Ellie." Alan said.

I turned to him. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open. He looked dead serious. Elizabeth began to breathe heavily and she stormed up to me.

"You are going to regret doing what you are about to do." Elizabeth told me as she brought her face close to mine so I could only see her face.

"I don't believe I will." I said.

She clenched her fists and left the gym.
