Save Me

Chapter 20

The next morning, I was terrified. My nerves have kicked in and I was a mess. My only thought was a name. Edward.

What if he's in school?

What if he tries to do what he failed to do the first time?

What if he tells people about what happened-almost happened?

I'm scared of seeing him again. Corbyn saved me but what will happen when he isn't around?

I try to shut down those thoughts and focus on my classes, no matter how hard it is. The day goes by and I haven't seen Edward or Corbyn. Where is he?

I get my books for my last class from my locker when a voice distracts me.

"Oh my God, we made out!" a hear a girl's voice but I keep trying to distinguish the books I need from the ones I don't.

"He's so hot and sexy," she murmurs again.

"With who?" I hear another voice ask.

"Corbyn," I immediately turn to her with my eyes full of shock. I gulp painfully and then try to think clearly. There are hundreds of boys in this school. He's not the only boy who is called Corbyn in here. Keep saying that to myself, I try to relax pushing that contingency away.

"Corbyn?" her friend questions with furrowed eyebrows.

"The tall, handsome, and sexy Corbyn,"

"Oh, the captain of football! OMG! Did you make out?" she seems interested while I'm gaping at them.

"YES! He's so good at this stuff and oh...what he can do with that mouth" she mumbles and I feel the need to throw up. He can't be him. He wouldn't do that. After what happened that night, after we talked, kissed.

I try to study but my mind can't stop thinking about the conversation I heard in school. What if it's him? I honestly don't think I'll bear it.

I hear a knock on my door when I open it, I see him.

I wonder why he didn't just barge in here like he usually does but before I can say my thoughts at loud; he walks inside. I close the door and turn to him.

"Hey," he grabs my waist and pushes me against the door connecting his lips with mine.

I kiss him back but I can feel that that thought keeps me back. He must feel it too because he stops and stares down at me.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing," I quickly answer and he frowns.

"Doesn't look like it,"

"I'm fine" I whisper and smile weakly. I break the eye contact thinking about that girl said. I can't just ask him directly so, I think of a different way to learn if it was him, even though I'm frightened of the answer.

"Did you come to school today?" I ask and he titles my head up so he can see right into my eyes.

"Yes," he replies and I feel my heart break a little. Maybe it's him. I firstly think but a weird thought crosses my mind. If he was at school then why didn't he come to me? "Why?"

"Just asking" I murmur and break our eye contact again as I'm debating to ask him what I've been wondering since the moment he kissed me.

"What are we doing?" I mumble looking up at his steady mesmerizing blue eyes.

"What do you mean?" he questions and his frown deepens even more.

"I mean what are we? We're friends?" I say and looking at the floor. I take a deep breath to prepare myself as I say at loud the word I've been scared to tell him. "Are we a couple?" I can feel tense so I continue in order to take his attention off this word. "Are we friends with benefits? What are we?"
