LOVE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN

Chapter 29

Warning: There's a lot of swearing in this chapter........Happy reading :)

CARL*

There is a certain pain and despair you feel when you see the person you love give so much attention to another person even when it's obvious that the person likes her more than just a friend. This feeling is made worse when you have confessed to her more than once and she just brushed it under the mat.

That same feeling is turned into anger when you see them hugging in the park and nothing seems innocent about the hug.

Isn't that how this stuff works, you confess your feelings to someone, they say they like you back and you guys kiss and hug. I'm pretty sure she kissed him before they hugged. I'm also sure the rumor that was everywhere the first day Dave resumed was true. Only God knows what really happened in New York.

Everyone says Dave is a good guy but I don't believe any of that shit.

It's not like you gave him a chance to prove it to you......

Not the time.....

I was angry and pained. I wanted Isla to feel the same pain she just put me through that's why I kissed Maddie. I don't even know where she came from and I don't actually care.

Mum's car was outside when I arrived. That means she finished early from work. She was sitting on the dining table working on her laptop. I didn't even stop to regard her and rushed into my room.

"Carl, honey is anything wrong?" She yelled after me. I just slammed my door shut and laid on the bed. I've known her longer. I've told her I really liked her twice and she still went for the new York dork. I was so mad I needed to punch something. I went into my mini gym and attacked my punching bag.

Every image of Isla talking to him, smiling at him and slapping his arm when he made her laugh made me punch harder. I wanted to be the only one to make her smile and laugh. I want to be the only one she concentrates on when she's talking......

All these thoughts made me punch until I was exhausted.

I heard a knock on my room door.

"Nick go away." I yelled.

The knock sounded again.

"Nick I said go away or I'll fucking break your nose." I threatened.

The door opened and my mom stepped in with her hands folded.

"Oh, so you want to break my nose huh?"

"I'm sorry, I thought you were Nick. What are you doing here?"

"I never knew I needed your permission to move around in my own home," she said and I rolled my eyes.

"You came back home all mad. You didn't even bother to say hi to me and you practically flew upstairs. What's wrong?"

I shrugged. "It's nothing. I don't want to talk about it."

"It's not nothing. There is obviously something wrong."

"Mum, I said I'm fine. Just leave me alone."

I didn't wait for her to leave. I went into the bathroom for a quick shower. I wore an old pair of sweatpants and put a towel around my neck when I was done. Mum must have left now.

I was surprised to see my mum lying on my bed when I came out.

Damn.....don't she know how to leave someone in peace?

"Mum why are you still here?" I asked.

She chuckled and sat up. "It's funny you think you're stubborn but let me tell you something mister, you got that from me. If I weren't stubborn, I would never have reached where I am now so get your butt here and tell me what happened."
