"She just stood there and let her parents rag on me!" I yell silently in my mind, still furious about yesterday's events with Greer and her parents. I look up at the clock and it seems like its moving in slow motion. All I want to do is get out of this hell hole they call "school" and go see April so I don't have to think about my girlf... Ex-girlfriend anymore.
I am so angry. Hurt. Lost. Confused. She's a traitor. She's a heartbreaker. How could she do this to me? She's just.. She's just so... PERFECT. Those blue eyes, as deep and as dark as an ocean. Every time I look into them I'm just a sailor, lost at sea. And those dimples... I can feel my fury draining from every inch of my body, leaving me feeling empty and tired.
The bell rings making me jump back to reality, leaving the thoughts of Greer fresh in my mind. My heart literally aches at the thought of seeing her in the hallway. Sighing, I have to make myself stand, my legs feel like lead when I try to move them. I look up and see Ford watching me closely, a smug look on her face because she can see me struggling and I know I probably look like crap. I freeze and stare back at her. I'm pretty sure that it was her who told the headmaster about Florida. No one else could have known. I look at my best fr.. Ex best friend. My heart breaks just a little bit more, until I'm sure there's nothing left of it to break. Everyone moves past me and I can't seem to make my legs move. Ford chuckles softly and shakes her head at me, before she walks out the door. I stand there until I realize that I'm the only one left in the classroom.
"Carver get it together, don't you dare cry!" I say under my breath as tears threaten to spill out from my eyes. I slowly make my way out the door and turn the corner when someone grabs my hand and practically drags me into an empty janitors closet. Before I can even blink, the pressure of soft lips come crushing against mine and I don't even open my eyes to see who it is because I could never forget the feel of her lips on mine. Her hands slide up to my face as I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her into me. Time seems to go by too quickly because I can feel her pulling away, her hands sliding down my arms, her fingers intertwining with mine. I keep my eyes closed because this is too good to be true and I want to stay in this moment forever. Her hand leaves mine only to come up to caress my face, her thumb rubbing my jawline. I take a deep breath and slowly open my eyes and see my beautiful blonde staring back at me. An array of emotions cross her face. Pain. Guilt. Sadness. Relief. Longing.
"Brenna I... I am so sorry." she whispers softly.
My mind flashes back to a few moments ago when I was so angry with her and I find it funny. I can't imagine ever feeling that way towards her ever again.
"I love you Greer", I say a small smile forming in the corner of my mouth.
And of course she gives me one of her famous "Greer smiles" dimples and all, making my heart skip a beat.
"I love you too Bren." she says as she leans in and kisses me quickly but passionately.
I can't help but smile. Standing with her here in a closet I realize things will never be the same, but change is inevitable. As long as I have Greer everything will be okay.
