Love the Way you Lie

Eminem ft. Rhianna

Part 2

Chapter11

….

So are you going to tell me what you decided to do?" Imogen asked Bianca as they sat on the bench.

"I know what you are going to tell me…to follow my heart….but I can't at this time." Bianca frowned. Only one person could make her drop her guard like this….DREW.

"You should…..I know it sounds mean….but they would have eventually broken up in the first place."

"It was still wrong for me to kiss him." Bianca tried to talk quietly as people passed.

"Yeah….but it wouldn't be fair to Katie…." Imogen stated.

"I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone….and this is coming from a girl who is known to intentionally step on some toes.

…..

Just because Katie wasn't worried about Bianca didn't mean she wasn't. Maya knew girls like her. They only wanted men in relationships. They could never get their own. It sickened her. Both girls didn't see her near them…but she was in perfect ear shot.

"Drew and Me…that kiss….it is only one time…no more after that." Maya's mouth dropped as she heard. Good thing there were a couple of people around her so she wasn't in the open.

"Thought it only happened twice…."

"Whatever…..its done." She stated loudly standing up.

That unremorseful…..ughhhhhh….she was going to pay for hurting her sister like this.

…..

Katie sat on the toilet. She still felt the urge but stayed strong…..this was what she needed to do for herself. She needed to block all the noises. She needed to forget everything holding her down. It was time for her to actually enjoy living life.

Walking out the stall, she looked at herself in the mirror. She hated mirrors. They always showed what you didn't want see. She remembered how she used to spit in them…how hard she use to try to break them….she was tired of feeling like this…but she couldn't stop herself….someone help her please.

…

"So I take it you and Fiona are becoming friends." Eli smirked.

"Yeah…..she's really sweet…I can see why you are friends with her….." Imogen played with her ponytail. Eli noticed something when she stated that. She began fidgeting….like she was nervous.

"Everything ok….." Eli closed his locker.

"Yeah…" She said all took quickly as she began to blush seeing her walk down the hall.

…

Katie sat in the hallway rubbing her knee. The pain was getting better….but it only meant one thing. Her mom would start again…why she couldn't tell her how she felt. Why did she always have to please them. It wasn't fair to her…it wasn't!

"Hey sis…" Maya sat with her taking out her water bottle drinking it.

"Maya you are acting like we didn't see each other this morning." Katie rolled her eyes at her sister's silliness.

"Well it is a long time….it's just…." Maya shook her had not knowing what to say…..especially as she saw Bianca walk pass them to her locker.

"Umm…wait right here." Katie followed her sister with her eyes. She knew that look in her sisters eyes. She was going to do something that Katie had to clean up.

Maya was determined. It didn't matter if she got a 3 day suspension. Bianca deserved this. She could just take whatever she wanted. Actions had consequences.

Seeing her put her backpack up, Maya tapped her on her shoulder.

"Drew I already….OMG…." Bianca stated as Maya drenched her with the water bottle.

"Slut…go kiss someone else." Every mouth in the hallway dropped…including Katie's. Walking to Bianca she tried to help dry her off.

"Stop helping her Katie. You don't know what she did. She kissed Drew…twice….what whore." Maya yelled.

"Maya in my office now…" Simpson said.

"With pleasure…." She walked off as Katie's heart broke. But she could not show it. This was a time where she had to take charge. Clenching her fists she head to Drew.

….

"You guys…..I am so ready to take you on." Drew said smugly in the locker room as they finished changing clothes.

"Not this time…." Owen stretched. "I have been practicing. I'm ready to show you. Let's go meet Julian." They said as the heard other boys begin to whistle.

"Katie." Drew stopped in his tracks looking at her. She knew. It's in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me…why didn't I just break up you."

"How did you find out?" Drew asked.

"It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I did. You're pathetic…you couldn't be a man and tell me face to face."

"I didn't want to hurt you….."

"O because I'm not hurt now….I'm not weak." She nearly screamed as the whole locker room gave her attention.

"Go to hell Drew." She walked out….running her fingers through her hair…she was panicking. She began to breathe faster the closer to got to the bathroom."

"I can't let you do that." Julian's deep voice rang in her ear….as she felt him grab her shoulders.

"No I need too…please….." she gripped his shirt crying in his arms…resting her head on his chest.

"Katie you're stronger than this….you are…..come on….." He grabbed her hand.

"Where are we going?" She asked not being logical about her actions. She was going off with a boy she barely knew…but she trusted him.

"I'm going to get you away from this for a little bit." He said noticing he was still holding her hand.

…..

Clare washed her hands as she came out of the stoll. She didn't think Maya had it in her to shame Bianca like that. The whole school was still talking about it…but the saddest part about it was how Drew didn't care at all about Katie. He…

"Clare…." Alli said directly as she came in. why did she have to see her at this moment.

"Alli…..wait….I'll go." Clare said sadly.

"Wait…"Alli stated. "You don't have to do that….." Alli shrugged not wanting Clare to leave. She missed her friend. It was moments like these, she needed someone to gossip with.

"ummm did you see it?" Clare asked with elation.

"Yeah…Bianca had it coming to her." Alli stated.

"Yeah she did…" Clare stated as they both really didn't know what to say to each other.

…..

"This lake is beautiful…" Katie closed her eyes smelling the breeze. This was so smoothing. This was what she needed.

"Yeah…my grandmother use to take me here." Julian said as Katie listened to him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Julian asked finding himself embarrassed.

"You never talk about your family…that's all." She watched the ripples in the stream.

"Nothing much to talk about….I was raised by my grandparents…my parents didn't want me…."She looked at him with sadness.

"That's why I don't tell people because they look at me like that. I hate that look." He didn't stare at her. When did she become gorgeous like this? The way the sun glared…she looked like an…..

"I hate that look to…" She said quietly…looking at his features. Marisol was right...he was gorgeous…clear skin….pretty teeth...nice lips…STOP!

"Maybe we should go back now….."She began to shiver…but not because she was cold.

"Here…." Taking off his jacket, he put it around her shoulders.

"Umm we can take a break today…from the project….we are half way done….."She didn't know why she said that to him…it scare her how she felt at ease when he touched her. She just broke up with Drew. She didn't need these feelings….if they were even feelings.

"Ummm yeah…..I have to go run errands for my grandpa anyway."

…..

"This is all my fault." Drew put his arm around Bianca as they walked down the hall.

"No it's…both of ours…..I knew it would get to this." Bianca hung her head down as Drew lifted her chin.

"Me too…..but I didn't want it to stop. I'm sorry that you got caught in this crossfire." He gently kissed her.

…..

On the way back to school, Katie and Julian said nothing to each other. They didn't know how to come to grips with what they were both feeling…..or in Katie's case….what she was trying not to feel.

Her mind wandered as she still felt his arms around her. He was so strong. She wished she were like that. He helped her escape for at least 45 minutes of her life. Now she was faced to walk down the halls and see Bianca and Drew together. They were always together, but this time TOGETHER.

She knew what was going on. She didn't want to believe it.

Julian knew she wasn't magically cured….but he knew she needed someone to talk too…as did he. It's amazing how you never know how much you have in common with a person. No one knew the real him….only the persona he created….like Katie. She thought he was an egotistical womanizing bully…he thought she was a stuck prude bossy chick.

He noticed how quiet she had gotten as they reached the campus.

"I know I can't run away from this….but I don't want to see them….." She grabbed his wrist…needing comfort.

"Listen…you are stronger than you think. Don't lose faith in yourself." He wanted to touch her cheek…but fought the feeling.

"You're right." She said as they walking in the building.
