Hi all. I would love if you all review and stuff after you read because I want to know what you think. :) You are welcome for a short authors note! -SDoA
I was in shock. He had just asked me out, it wasn't possible that this could work. Nope. So I texted back (like the intelligent person I am)
... Very intelligent. But he was being sweet and said
Tess, please? This was a very large decision considering I had never gone out with anyone. Ever. *awkward silence*
Yes Will. I'll go out with you.
Oh thank the Angel. Quick story. Will is an atheist. So it's his weird way of saying Oh My God. Yeah I know. But he can go for it. I don't mind.
I don't know what to do now.
It's okay Tess. Just go to bed. You seem tired. :) That is our joke. I am Always tired but I get him back by calling him vulnerable. And being the very 'tough' and 'manly' boy he is. He hates it. Ah don't you just love annoying the crap out of others through 'ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR!'.
Days and weeks passed. A green bracelet that he always wore was promptly stolen by me and being an awkward teenage girl I smelled it. It smelled like guy but it smelled something sweet. Grassy and sweet. I knew what it was. I Knew. But he wouldn't admit it to me. Always changing the subject or indistinctly answering but not about the smell. The smell. There was a point in time where I said to myself. No he can't do that. It's not possible. Will is a bad boy. But he wouldn't do that now would he? NO. Of course he wouldn't. So one day I asked him out right.
"Do you do drugs?" He looked down at the ground and mumbled through that hair that..
"I thought you would break up with me is you knew." This of course pissed me off further. Of course I hate it but seriously?
"Will, you asshole! You honestly think... Oh my god boy!" I walked away and he looked after me with those blue eyes pleading. I didn't know what to say or do so for the next week or so I ignored his calls and his texts and even his attempts to talk to me in person. I can't believe I didn't break up with him right then and there. Then we wouldn't have gone through the mess we did.
He left long voicemails saying "Tess, please? I was only trying to protect you. I didn't think. I never do! I..." It went on for awhile and there were many other stupid ones after. But for some reason I stayed with him. Don't ask me why because honestly, if I knew, the world would be a heck of a lot simpler.
I ignored him, for a long time. Until I decided he doesn't have to explain himself. This took about a week. So our relationship went on, Will treated me with respect. I guess he didn't want his heart broken, but the funny thing is, he broke mine.
It was New Years eve and I was up North at a beat up old cabin with Nate, Aunt Harriet and a family friend of ours, the Lightwoods. Gideon and Gabriel were my childhood best friend. We used to be frienemies as children. Always behaving for Aunt Harriet and their father but fighting all the while behind their backs. They thought we were the best of friends. Not really, but they can believe what they want to. So anyways, I was up there with them and midnight struck. Suddenly, like Cinderella, Will texted.
Happy New Years babe, but I think we should break up.
You had to wait until New Years! I responded fast. Will did too.
It was my New Years resolution
Okay, so end of chapter. I want you to know that this did happen to me, this entire story is based on fact. There's a little more back story I'll explain in the next chapter as to why he was being a douche. Thank you all. Please do give suggestions, and please do review. It makes me write a little faster, knowing people want to read this...
