ruels pov

it's been two days since the party. i seriously fucked up, i've given her space like she asked but it's killing me to not be able to to talk to mila. mary keeps texting me but i never opened them. she just needs to fuck off.

i hop in the shower and put on my uniform and leave for school.

i've been dreading this day. today i have to face ruel, mary and all her friends. thank god i have sunday and anneliese, they're real friends, i don't know what i would do without them.

i take a shower and put on my uniform. i try to conceal my dark circles but i just look more and more depressed.

sunday picks me up and we go to school together.

"how are you today?" she asks

"i'm getting better but i don't know. i'm dreading going to school" i sigh "lets just skip"

"no mila, you have to go. this is the only way you'll heal" she says

"fine" i pout "but if something goes wrong i'm blaming you"

she laughs as we arrive at school.

"ugh can i not go in and just stay in the car" i day looking out the window seeing mary and her friends outside

"no come on let's go" she says

we link arms and walk pass mary.

"fucking slut" one of her friends muttered

i ignore it.

"see she's too scared to even look at us, i told you" mary said

i ignored it again.

"desperate whore" another one said

sunday stopped in her tracks and turned to them.

"mary i thought you were different" she starts and then looks at her friends "and the only desperate whore here is mary"

"oh please" mary says "she went after the most popular guy in the school just to get the attention of other guys"

"mary just shut the fuck up! the more you talk the dumber you sound" i yell

"what did you just say" she says walking closer to me

"you heard me, i'm just telling you the truth" i say

then i feel her hand strike against my cheek.

"HEY!" i hear a familiar voice yell

i turn around and see ruel running towards us. oh god.

"she hit me first" mary says

"mary don't even try to turn this around on her" he says and then looks at me "are you okay?"

i nod and walk away.

i cannot believe what just happened. i never thought mary would be like that. she had everyone believe she was someone else.

as mila walks away with sunday, mary turns to me.

"ruel, why did you defend her? she clearly doesn't care about you" she whines

i ignore her and walk away.

(after school)

i get a text. it's from mila.

mila - meet me at our beach

i get in the car and drive to the beach where we had our first date. i see her sitting there so still. she's in one of my hoodies watching the waves crash. i sit down next to her and she stays silent. we sit there for a few minutes watching the waves. she then rests her head on my shoulder and i plant a kiss on her head.

"i'm so sorry for everything i've done to you mila" i break the silence

"it's okay" she says

"it's not okay, i messed up and you deserve so much better"

"i know, i forgive you but that doesn't mean i can go back to how we were"

"i understand. thank you for forgiving me" i say "can we stay friends?"

"yeah" she says as tears fall from her face

"i love you" i say

"i love you too"

we sit there for a while in silence, taking in each other presence. a couple tears roll down my cheeks but i wiped them away before she could notice.

i so badly want to be with ruel but it's not the right time. maybe another day. tears won't stop rolling down my face. i get up from the ground and kiss him on the cheek and start to walk away.

"wait" he says standing up

"what?" i ask

he takes one step closer to me and pulls me close. our lips millimetres apart.

"i love you ruel" i say

"i love you too" he says as his lips touch mine so softly. as we pull away we smile at each other and then i walk away. it hurts me to much to walk away but it's for the best. i head home and cry into my pillow.

idk why i'm so sad like i wrote this, i can control what i write but i'm so sad.

also i posted twice in a row. that's rare.
