Chapter 17

I hope you guys know I have no idea what happened to this plot. Nico and Jason have taken over.

Sorry about vanishing with my writing. One of my best friends just left to move to Washington state and so I've been pretty emotionally off and spending time with her.

Let's get this party started!

- Nico_Solace

P.S. I'm sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things go on like that for about two weeks before they blow up.

I spend all my extra time texting Jason, but Will doesn't know.

I don't know why I keep it from him; we aren't doing anything wrong. Jason just texts me stuff that makes me laugh. But I feel like if I tell Will, then he's going to tell me I'm not allowed to text Jase anymore, and I don't want that.

The thing is, no matter how many times Jason asks to meet up outside of school, I shoot him down. No way I'm meeting up with him. I don't know what will happen if I do.

We were sitting at lunch when everything went to hell.

"Hey, Neeks?" Will sits down on the bench next to me, resting his head in my lap.

"Yes, Love?" I run my hand soothingly through his hair.

"Who've you been texting lately?" My hand froze. "I mean, I'm just asking because it's not been me, obviously. And whoever it is has been making you smile and laugh a lot. I know its probably nothing but I..."

"It's Jase..." I mumble quietly while he's still talking, resuming the menstruations of my hand.

He stops mid sentence and sits up, removing himself from my reach.

"What?" He sounds disbelieving.

"Um... I've been texting Jason?" It comes out like a question because I'm unsure of what he's going to say.

"Jason?" Will sounds on the verge of rage, his face settles into a nice, deep scowl.

"Yeah. He's been talking to me lately."

"Can I see?"

I kind of wanted to say no. Will had no right to look through my phone and my texts. But then again, he kind of did; he was my boyfriend. We had been dating for just over a month. He had never hidden his texts from me.

Apparently I had been obvious about my discomfort in sharing because Will looks at me and says, "So its like that, is it? I thought... Never mind what I thought. I was obviously wrong."

And with that, Will was gone.

Later that day, things at home were awkward. Will had left school before me, so he had also made it here before me.

He was currently locked in my bedroom, blaring Fall Out Boy and not talking to anyone.

Hazel was out in the living room with me, looming like she wanted to scream at me. Again.

"Just... Go for it. Scream at me." I say miserably to my sister. I can't believe I was so stupid.

"I don't want to scream at you. I want to comfort your crying boyfriend but he won't let me into your room. And I want to comfort you because you're obviously upset, but I don't know what to do about that because you kind of deserve this." Hazel practically growled.

"He's..." I stop and clear my throat, sitting up and staring at the dark skinned girl in front of me. "Will is crying?"

"What the hell are you expecting?" Hazel yelled. "You have been practically cheating on him for weeks! You told me you weren't going to start talking to Jason again. You told me you were going to ignore him. You dated him ages ago! You dumped him because he cheated on you with Piper!"

"I haven't been fucking cheating, Hazel! I've been talking to him, that's it. About our day, about things we find funny, that's it. I haven't met up with him, I haven't called him, if he flirts, I shut him down. I'm not cheating." My own anger begins to rise in my chest.

"But you're hiding it from Will. If you're hiding it, you obviously know something is wrong about doing it."

I'm stunned into silence. When did she get so smart?

=Will=

There was a faint knock on the door; I barely heard it over the music. I groaned.

At some point, I had passed out from exhaustion.

I sat up, rubbing my eyes roughly. The knock sounded again, slightly louder. This time it was accompanied by a voice.

"Hey, Will?" Hazel's voice sounds from the other side of the door.

I groan again before letting out a weak, "come in."

"I can't; its locked." Hazel sounds apologetic.

I stand up shakily and walk over to the door, unlocking it before making my way back to my (Nico's my brain so helpfully supplies) bed.

"Hey, Will. How are you?" She asks after turning down my music.

"What did he say? I know that's why you're in here."

"Well... He wanted you to know that he still loves you. And he didn't realize what he was doing. He said that Jason started texting him and he simply texted back. That was that." Hazel runs a comforting hand down my back.

"Well, I hope he realizes that until he tells me otherwise, I'm not going to believe that. Until he can just fucking show me the damn texts." I feel my eyes prickling with tears again and scream into my (Nico's) pillow.

Hazel tries to comfort me, but I shrug her off and turn my back to her. Thankfully, she takes the hint and leaves.
