Chapter 14
I could feel her gaze fall on Bill and I, and boy, did it burn. I had no idea what to say! What, was I suppose to be like 'I'm sorry for making out with your boyfriend on accident. Won't happen again.' Oh please! I could never get off that easily!
"Carol, they were both not really feeling like themselves at-"
"Shut up!" Carol shouted at Tom. "Don't defend them!"
"I'm not defending them! I'm just sayin' it how it is." Tom shrugged and backed up against the wall, crossing his arms, trying to look like Carols outburst hadn't surprised him.
"I don't want to hear from you, I want to hear from them!"
"Uh…" Bill spoke up. "Sorry…"
"Is that all you have to say?! I trusted you Bill! I trusted you, even when I knew you were getting close to Sadie! I shouldn't have though." Her voice quieted. "I shoulda known when you broke one of our dates to be with her." She practically spit out that "her".
"Carol, it's not like that at all!" I really wish she hadn't started to shout. My pounding headache was just starting to fade.
"Really? Because that's what it looks like!" She kicked the picture, sending it right at the base of my feet. I looked like I was practically eating Bill's mouth, while really I was just biting his tongue ring. He had his hands up his shirt and it was very obvious as to what he was doing. My hands were wrapped around his neck and tugging on his hair. His hips were in a slight "up" position as I straddled him.
"Oh my God…" We totally looked like we were enjoying every second of our time 'together'. I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad! My face grew red and I found myself looking anywhere but that picture.
Bill shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat. "Carol that wasn't meant to happen."
"You know what this looks like Bill? Revenge! I cheated you, so now you cheat on! With my best friend no less!"
"Hey! I know you didn't cheat on me! Why the hell would I be trying to get back at you?"
"I didn't say that you really were, but that's what the media is going to think!"
"Well fuk the media!" Bill exclaimed. "Who cares what they say!"
"I do! I have to live with it."
"Well so do I! We all do!"
"Yea!" I piped up. "Everyone's going to put me on blast about this!"
Carol crossed her arms. "Well it's your own dam fault!"
"What?"
"IF you didn't go around whoring yourself all the time, maybe this wouldn't happen!"
My eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?"
"First with Sean-" I tried to cut in but she continued. "Then with Tom! And look! Now you have a kid!" I wanted to say that it was out love, not out of lust, but she still continued. "Last night with Bill! Oh! And that time when Sean was over at your house a few weeks ago!" I didn't see it, but Tom instantly perked up and looked at me with wide eyes.
"WHAT THE FUK?!" I practically jumped off the bed, even though it didn't help my headache, and yelled in her face. "I was fukin raped! Why the hell would I be messing around with him!"
"Oh please! You practically reeked of sex, and I wasn't the only one to notice it!" She threw a look at Bill, who refused to look at me.
Oh my God! My heart started to race, and I could already feel myself start to sweat, but I had to keep my cool. I looked her straight in the eye and calmly said, "You better shut the fuk up. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just because you can't get a guy to sleep with you doesn't mean you have to start making stories up about me."
And that's when I felt her hand connect with my cheek and painful sting to go along with it. The whole room went completely silent, as I stood there stunned, coming to terms with what had just happened. "You bitch!" I yelled out suddenly and pushed her back, sending her towards the wall. Tom caught her, much to my dismay, and wrapped his arms around her so she couldn't fight back. Searing pain went through my bandaged hand, and I instantly regretted pushing her.
"Don't ever touch me again!" Carol screamed, trying to get away from Tom, but he was too strong.
"Well then don't ever say sht like that again!" I started to move in on Carol, and that's when I felt Bill grab my arm, and roughly pull me against him. "Let go of me Bill! And watch the hand!"
"No. You two just need to calm down!" Bill restrained my other arm, being careful not to grab onto my hand.
"Fighting won't solve anything." Tom said, still holding on to Carol.
"Well it will definitely help me feel better about myself!"
I rolled my eyes at Carol's last comment, and glared at Bill. "Can you please let go of me?"
Bill looked at me warily. "If you promise not to hurt her in any way…"
"Done." He immediately released me but I knew that if I took one step towards Carol, he would have me in his death like grip again. For a skinny white boy, the boy was strong!
"Why Sadie?" Carol's voice was back to normal, and I could see Tom letting up on his grip a little.
I snapped my head at her. "What?"
"You can have any guy out there, and yet you choose Bill…" She almost sounded, sad.
"Carol." I breathed. "It was not meant to happen. I swear. I mean, yea, there were a few times where I wished Bill would've just kissed me," Both Bill and Tom's eyes widened, " but that's just because I was feeling lonely, and Bill was being so sweet that sometimes I mistook his sweetness for other things.
"You wanted me to kiss you?" Bill's voice came out hesitant and he sat down on the bed, staring at Tom. Tom was looking at the ground, his face hard, no emotion showing.
"Yea, but I see now how that ruined everything. I mean, it's obvious we weren't meant to be anything…" I wanted to crawl in a hole and die, at least till I got over this embarrassment.
"So last night wasn't on accident?" Tom asked, out of the blue. I wasn't really expecting to hear him talk during this discussion.
"Last night was on accident. I seriously had no idea that was going to happen. And like I said, sometimes I wish Bill 'd kissed me. I don't think that all the time though. I guess it was just a phase I was going through."
"Sadie, we're best friends. A best friend would never do that." Tom had finally let go of Carol.
"Yea, well sometimes friends make mistakes." I gritted my teeth, mad that she didn't understand like I hoped she would.
"I don't know why the hel you even went to a club with Bill, knowing the way you feel about him, and knowing there was going to be alcohol there! Red flags should've gone up!"
"Carol! I told you! It wasn't meant to happen! I was hoping to go to a club with my friends and drink and have a little fun. That 'fun' did NOT include making out with Bill! I'm sorry I got drunk! I'm sorry that I ever went to club with them. And I'm sorry for ever feeling something for Bill!" I huffed, and sat on the bed next to Bill. Of course keeping a good space between us. In just a few hours, everything is going to be awkward.
"I don't believe you." She straight out said. "You went to that club with the intentions of getting Bill."
"You know what? Fine! Believe what you want to! Apparently to you I'm just a stupid slut who goes around sleeps with every boy that is willing to!"
"Even the ones who raped you, which I'm beginning to think he didn't actually do. You wanted it." She smirked, knowing exactly the kind of reaction I would have. Bill knew too, and grabbed my arm quickly, restraining me from pounding the bich's face in. This time he wasn't strong enough as I had pulled away from and was very close to doing some permanent damage to Carol, before Tom grabbed me. He stepped out from behind Carol, grabbed my arms and did some twisty thing so that my back was now to his and his arms wrapped around my front. "Let me go Tom!" My bandaged hand was in between Tom and I, and it hurt like hell.
"No. You need to fuking calm down." He whispered in my ear. "We're leaving." He started to drag me towards the door, and sadly I couldn't put up much of a fight seeing as he was so much bigger and stronger then I was.
"No! Let the bich talk!" I screamed, squirming around, unsuccessfully I might add.
Tom didn't respond. He continued to pull me until we were out of the room. As soon as the door was shut, he let go of me. I instantly jumped away from and started pounding on Bill's door like a manic. "Let me in! We're not done!" Pain continued to surge, but I didn't care right then. I just wanted to beat Carol up.
"Give it a rest Sadie." Tom sighed. "You're not going back in there."
"That bich thinks she can talk sht on me?! Well guess again!" I continued to pound on Bill's door until a door down the hall way opened.
It was Gustav. "Sadie, please. I've been up with you all night. Let me get my sleep before I have to get up for rehearsals this evening."
It was like something clicked in me, and I suddenly calmed down. "Sorry." I muttered and backed away from the door. Gustav gave me a long look, before turning around and heading back into his room.
"You done?"
I nodded at Tom. "For now. Here." I handed him my room key from my pocket. He took it because I was too lazy, and opened the door. I followed him inside and slumped down on the floor at the base of my bed. "I feel like sht… physically and mentally." I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.
Tom studied my face. "Does it hurt? It's still a little red."
"Still?" I touched my face and winced. She got me good and for a moment I wished I had gotten her good too.
Tom went into the bathroom and grabbed the same washcloth he had just used a few hours ago for my head, wetted it and tossed it to me. "Here." He squatted down and brushed the hair away from my face. "I didn't know you liked my brother." His voice was calm and I could detect a bit of sadness in it.
I hung my head and sighed. "I don't… not really. He was just a… nice distraction." All my energy, the little energy I had gained, was drained. I let my go of my knees with my good arm and let them hit the floor. I remembered my injured hand and looked at it. I may have ripped opened a few stitches, seeing as the bandage was turning red. "This sucks. Did the doctor prescribe me any pain killers?"
"Yea." Tom popped up and disappeared back into the bathroom. Why couldn't life be easy? Why did it have to be filled with this stupid drama crap? He returned with a glass of water and a big white pill.
"Thanks." I took both items and did what I was suppose to and then handed Tom back the glass, who just sat it down next to me. "I didn't mean to kiss Bill. It just happened…"
"I believe you."
I looked at Tom disbelievingly, "You do?"
"Yea." He crouched and then sat down next to me, throwing an arm around my shoulder. That caught me off guard, as my eyes widened and stared at his arm around me. "Relax." He chuckled and squeezed my shoulder. "I know you don't really like Bill, because you still have the hots for me." I rolled my eyes but was very surprised that he had suddenly brought up the past. Apparently Tom had just realized what he said and quickly changed the subject. "So… what is this I hear about you and Sean?"
Ah hell.
Hey guys! Sorry if it wasn't all that interesting! Things should get more exciting once I bring Bianca and Sean back into the story! I like Tom and Sadie being nice to each other. Oh and I hope it flowed well enough!
