Once the locker room cleared out I took a quick shower and threw on some sweats and a hoodie. I packed my bags and left the locker room. I was heading toward the exit when I see Elias coming out of the men's locker room. I stood at the end of the hall way and waited for him.
"Can we talk?" I asked once he was in front of me.
"Its been a week and now you want to talk?" he said scoffing and pushing pass me.
"Please" I said grabbing his arm.
Elias looked over his shoulder at me before shaking his head and sitting on top of the crate "Talk"
"I'm sorry" I told him.
"For what exactly?" He asked.
"All of it" I said sighing and looking down at the ground "I haven't been fair to you with this whole situation. I shouldn't have kept us a secret and I shouldn't have let you walk away the other night" I told him.
"Shaylee, it was never about announcing it to the whole world it was about the fact that you didn't want Colby to find out. I love you, I really do but I won't be second fiddle to him anymore. We are adults and if we want to be together then we should be you have to stop being so worried that you are going to upset someone. Shay if they really cared about you they be happy because your happy" He told me.
"You're absolutely right" I told him "I do need to start acting like an adult and doing what makes me happy and you make me happy" I told him.
"Do I?" Elias asked.
"Yes" I said stepping toward him "I shouldn't have blown you off for the past week, but I just needed time to clear my head and work through some things" I told him.
"What are you trying to say?" He asked me.
"I'm saying that I want us to be together out in the open. No more secrets or sneaking around" I told him.
"And your positive about this?"
"Hundred percent"
Elias smiled and grabbed me by waist and pulled me firmly in-between in his legs he ran his fingers down the side of my face before attaching his lips to my mine. We got lost each other for a few minutes it wasn't until someone cleared their throat that we pulled apart.
I looked to my left and cursed under my breath when I locked eyes with Colby who was just staring at us with a blank expression.
"I'll let you two talk" Elias said kissing my forehead and walking out of the building.
I turned and faced Colby who just shook his head at me and went to walk away but I stepped in front of him stopping him.
"Move Shaylee" he said looking down at me.
"No, we need to talk" I told him.
"I don't think there is anything to talk about" he said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"It means that everyone around me has done nothing but lie to me lately, so we have nothing to talk about" he yelled.
"I was never trying to lie to you, I just didn't know how to tell you or anyone" I told him.
"Actually, its really simple "Hey I'm seeing someone" You know what I don't care" he said throwing his hands in the air "You do you Shaylee and ill do me"
"Why are you acting like this?" I asked as a few tears rolled down my face.
"Because out of everyone in my life you were the last person I ever thought would lie to me and it hurts, it hurts that you felt like you couldn't tell me that you were seeing someone. Were supposed to be best friends but I feel like here lately its been really one sided" he told me.
"So, you hate me now?" I asked crossing my arms.
"You really are dense, sometimes aren't you?" Colby said walking off, but he stopped and looked back at me he shook his head "He is going to end up hurting you" he added walking out of the building.
I felt my heart break into a million pieces as the tears ran down my face. After my little break down I wiped the tears away and walked into the parking lot.
"Hey girl" Sasha said walking up and lacing her arm with mine "How's the cheek?" she asked.
"It's good" I told her "How you are feeling after that stunner?" I asked.
"A little sore but so freaking worth it tonight was epic" Sasha said smiling.
We walked up to the car were Trinity was waiting who was just giving me a cold stare.
"What did I do now?" I asked looking at her.
"Got me cussed out by Mr. curb stomp" she said crossing her arms.
"Why would Colby cuss you out?" Sasha asked looking between us.
"Oh shit" Sasha said sucking her bottom lip in.
"Yeah and now Colby hates me" I told them while closing my eyes and dropping my head.
Sasha and Trinity both shook their heads rolling their eyes and sitting on the trunk of the car.
"Shaylee that man does not hate you" Trinity said.
"She's right its actually the opposite of that" Sasha said "You have to understand he just found another guy's tongue shoved down your throat and in his head that isn't how all of this is was supposed to play out" she added.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Don't be dumb Shay" Trinity said "The way Colby played it out was like this he is single and you were joining the main roster so that was his chance to try and make it work with you" she added.
"He told me that Elias was just going to hurt me" I told them.
"Of course, he said that because he doesn't think anyone is good enough for you" Trinity said.
"Well it's not the first time he said that, and he was right about the other times" I said.
"What do you mean?" Sasha asked.
I sighed and looked straight ahead as memories of my senior prom started to fill my head.
