Lost Confused Unkind
Chapter 106
He grabbed the top of my arm as we walked along the corridor. "Would you please stop that!" I glared at him.
"No! If you are going to act like a child then I'm going to treat you like one!"
"Oh for God's sake! It wasn't me acting like the child actually!"
"It wasn't? Well that does surprise me because the last time I saw two people fighting in the parking lot I was in junior high! Get in there!" he pushed me into his locker room. "Sit!"
"What?"
"Sit down!"
I sighed & looked at my feet then reluctantly I did as he asked & sat on one of the benches. he paced the small room with his hand on his forehead. "Dwayne I..."
"What the hell was going on out there? I mean what the HELL?" I stared at the wall, "Bec! Jesus she's your best friend!"
"Not any more apparently! You saw what went on! You heard what she said to me!"
"What did she say that was so bad?"
"Everything she said was bad! Were you not listening?"
"Maybe I wasn't because I heard her telling it to you straight!"
"What?" My eyes widened, "She....she said that......I...I moped around!"
"That's true!"
"Ok well she....she said ah....that I felt sorry for myself!"
"You do!"
I stared at him coldly! "And she said I thought I was the only one in the world with problems!"
"Do you think that?"
"No!"
"Ok well 2 out of 3 ain't bad!"
"And....and she said Matt was....." I paused, he was right, she had been telling me straight!
"What? Dead? Is that NOT true?"
"Yes!" I whispered.
"And?" he stopped pacing the floor & put his hands on his hips.
"Nothing!" I said quietly & looked away.
He sighed & sat down beside me, "You didn't have to do that y'know?"
"I know! I'm sorry!"
"It's not me you need to be appologising to is it?" He put his arm around my shoulders, "You need to go & find Sasha & sort this out ok?"
"Yeah I know! God I don't know what came over me!"
"Me either! I'm gonna have to watch my back from now on!" he smiled, "And ah I don't think Jeff will ever cross you again!"
"Jeff! Oh my God! Was he that bad?"
"There was tears in his eyes!" Dwayne squeezed me slightly & shook his head, "Ok come on then! We'll go & find both of them! You ok now?" he gently touched my lip with his fingertip.
"Yeah it's just a scratch!"
"Meeeeow!" Dwayne smiled & I laughed a little! "You're ok though?"
"Yes!"
"You're calm?"
"Yes I'm calm!"
"You sure cause I think if round 2 starts I'm just gonna let you kill each other?" He raised his eyebrows & smiled.
"Yes I'm sure I'm calm!"
"Good!" He stood up & pulled me off the bench & into his arms, "Don't make me get tough on you again woman!"
"That was you being tough?" I looked up at him.
"Hell yeah! It worked didn't it?"
I walked to the door, "Naaah! I was just humoring you!" I winked & opened the door.
"Yeah!" he sniggerred, "Right! Sure you were! Don't give me that crap!"
"I'm tellin' it to ya straight!"
"You were shaking I had you so scared!"
"Was not!"
"Yes you....WERE!" I jumped & he laughed.
"Bastard!" I slapped his arm.
"Ah you know you love me!"
We stepped out into the corridor to come face to face with Sasha & Jeff! I couldn't even look her in the eye I felt so damn stupid!
"Bec."
"Hey!"
"Right well I'm sure you don't wanna do this in the hallway so...." Dwayne reached over me & opened the door, "Ladies?" He gestured for us to go inside, we did, slowly! Once we were alone I cleared my throat.
"Sasha I'm sorry!"
"Yeah so am I! I had no right to say those things to you!"
"Yes you did!" I smiled, "They were all true!"
"Still I shouldn't have....."
"It's not your fault! I acted like a child & I feel like such an idiot!"
"Me too!" She smiled, "friends?"
I stepped forward & hugged her, "Yeah! Friends!" I squeezed her tightly.
"Well they say you aren't true friends until you can fight & make up again!" She said over my shoulder.
"I don't wanna fight with you again! Damn you can throw a punch!" I laughed.
"Yeah? Well you hit like a girl!" She nudged me.
"I am a girl! I have every right to hit like one!" We both laughed.
"We're a couple of idiots ya know that?" She sighed, "look at the state of us?"
"Yeah I know!" I started giggling, "Man the look on Dwayne's face.....it was priceless!"
"Yeah! He shit bricks!" She laughed, "And Jeff! Couple of Jesse's!"
"Shit how is Jeff?"
"Ah he's walking a bit lop-sided but he'll live!"
"I better go & see him! Is he pissed at me?"
"He's pretending to be pissed at you!"
"Ah....well I better go & soften him up then!"
"Be gentle with him!" Sasha winked.
"Sash? We're ok now? You & me?"
She stood up & hugged me again, "Yeah we're great! Now go on do your 'Florence Nightingale' thing!"
"Ok!" I smiled & went to the door.
"Ya never know if you're lucky enough he might ask you to inspect the bruises!"
"Not if he doesn't want them kicking again he won't!" I laughed & went to try & find Jeff, hoping he wasn't pretending too hard to be pissed at me!
