Why Don't You Love Me?

Chapter 32

"Angel, I'm sorry." Aaron apologized for the tenth time.

I continued to walk away from him. He followed me and tried to explain by repeating this dumb story saying that Elizabeth had kissed him first. I finally snapped and turned to face him.

"If it wasn't your fault then why did you kiss her back?!" I yelled.

He flinched and backed away a little bit, stiffening. He said absolutely nothing which made me a lot angrier.

"Angel..." He managed to say.

"Don't even try to lie to me! I saw you kissing her back! You even had your arms around her, holding her close to you! We're done Aaron!" I said angrily as tears filled my eyes.

He looked up with tears in his eyes and he looked guilty.

"Angel, I-I'm sorry. I won't do it again." He said weakly.

"If someone cheats on you once, they will do it again." I said as I turned to leave, "Oh, and it's Angelina." I told him.

I began to walk forward with tears slowly falling down my cheeks. I then felt a hand grab my wrist tightly. I tried not to whimper from the pain. Aaron had anger filled in his eyes.

"Don't you even think about leaving me!" He said through gritted teeth.

My eyes widened and I was tempted to curl up out of fear. His grip was so tight on my wrists that it really hurt. He shook me hard and I closed my eyes as he yelled at me. I held my breath and felt him slap my across the face.

He let me go right after he slapped me, causing me to fall backwards and hit my back and head against the lockers. I yelped and held the back of my head. Aaron looked shocked and I could see tears forming in his eyes.

"What is wrong with you?" I whispered silently.

Tears rolled down his cheeks and he reached for me. I back up against the lockers and tried to keep my body away from him. He swallowed hard and quickly ran away from me. I shook from fear. I stood up slowly and rubbed my head. I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I watched him get away from me.

"Are you okay?" Alan asked me.

I swallowed and nodded. He furrowed his eyebrows and put his index finger under my chin. He turned my head toward him gently and looked me in the eyes.

"Tell me the truth Angie." He said.

"I-I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled.

He was about to say something but he stopped himself and sighed.

"Alright, if you need to talk I will be here." He told me.

We made eye contact and I could feel my cheeks heat up. I nodded and thanked him, turning to grab my backpack.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Alan asked as he stood up.

"Of course!" I said.

He smiled sweetly and then nodded. We said goodbye and went our separate ways.

Nicole: What's wrong?! Why were you sad today?!

I sighed as I read the text from my girl best friend.

'I guess she deserves an explanation.' I thought.

I got home, went up to my room, and told Nicole everything that happened.
