19: The Fallout
David's P.O.V.
I got out of my car and stormed into my house, seeing red. When I was inside, I threw everything down and rushed into my room. I sat down on my bed and put my head in my hands.
How could I be so fúcking stupid? Here I was thinking that Tracey loved me, and that we would be together forever. Turns out she doesn't know what love is, she's just been stringing me the fuck along all this time. I gave her all of me, and this is what I get in return? I guess I deserve it, I've known her long enough to see how she runs through relationships like water.
No. I'm not going to sit here and blame myself for her selfishness! All that girl cares about is her damn self. I see that now. She was just so...easy to fall for. The way her smile lit up a room, the way her big brown eyes always seemed as if they could see right through your soul...
No! Don't fall for her shit again, it's all a lie I yelled at myself. In a flash of white hot anger, I got up and drove my fist through the wall. I pulled it back, and stared at the blood rolling down from my knuckles.
"Well, fuck."
I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. I look like a freaking mess. My eyes were bloodshot, and there were tear stains on my cheeks. I didn't even know I was crying, damn. I wiped my tears away and headed to the bathroom to wash the blood off of my hand.
After dealing with my bloody fist, I sat back down on my bed and blew out a puff of air. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that Tracey dumped me. I know that I messed up a few times but I did try my best to make her happy, she can't deny that. And is that dickhead quarterback really any better than me? He's just a stuck up prick with his head too far up his ass to have any real feelings for anyone. Well fuck her. I don't need Tracey. Once everyone finds out that I'm single, I'll have girls lined up for me. She can have fun with whoever she wants.
I picked up the phone and dialed Tremaine's number. He's not going to believe this shit. I bet 50 bucks he'll be even more pissed off than me.
He picked up on the second ring. "Yo."
"Trey man, you're not going to believe the shit that just went down."
Tracey's P.O.V.
I walked into school, wary. I have a feeling today isn't going to be a very good day for me. When I got to my locker, my suspicions were immediately confirmed. Tremaine was waiting for me looking like the god of the angry. His nostrils were flared, and I could basically see the flames in his eyes and steam coming out of his ears.
Well, this should be fun.
"What's got your panties in a bunch Trey?" I said in a weak attempt to lighten the mood.
"Don't play games with me Tracey. You just love ruining people's happiness, huh?" he seethed.
"Oh please, David couldn't have possibly been happy with me. I was a terrible girlfriend to him."
"Well I can't deny the terrible girlfriend part, you've been downright shitty. But you're wrong about David not being happy. Being with you made him so happy, he loved the crap out of you. Still does. I bet if you went up to him right now and asked him to take you back, he'd do it with no hesitation." he sighed, and his expression softened. "You broke his heart Trace."
I took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. "Don't you think I know that? I didn't want to break his heart Trey, you know how much I care about him. I still love him, I really do. But Trey I'm not in love with him. Staying with him would just be a waste of time for the both of us. There's a girl out there somewhere that's perfect for him, but that girl just isn't me."
There was a silence. "Do you even know what love is Tracey?"
I took a minute to let what Tremaine asked me sink in. I chose my next words carefully. "I very well may not. I mean, I'm just sixteen years old. I've still got a lot more about life I need to learn, I know that. I may not know what true love feels like yet, but I do know that I didn't have that with David."
"And what, you have it with Aiden?" Trey asked, his voice sounding a little angry again.
I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't have all the answers. I do know that being with Aiden is a totally different experience than being with David."
Trey didn't say anything for a minute or two. I could tell he was thinking hard about everything I said to him. Then, out of nowhere, he grabbed me and took me into a bear hug. I smiled into his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him back. I could honestly stay like this forever.
He broke the hug and smiled at me. "You know Tracey, I can't stay mad at you. I just want you to be happy. I respect that you don't think David's the one for you, I just want us all to be cool with each other."
"That might take some time. I know David hates me right now."
"He doesn't hate you. He's just hurt and doesn't know what to do about it."
I smiled sadly. "Hey, you think you could tell him that I'm sorry?"
The bell rang, and Tremaine smiled at me understandingly. "If he'll listen."
"Thanks. You know I love you right?"
"I love you too sis. Forever and always." he kissed my cheek and went to class.
Sometimes I wish he was really my brother

At lunch, I got my food and plopped down next to Bianca. The first half of my day had been tortuous. Being well known in school means that all of your business is magically well known too. All day I've been dealing with guys trying to get with me, girls giving me the evil eye for breaking David's heart, and those same girls attempting to get into his pants. Gosh, I hate high school.
Bianca gave me a motherly-like worried look. "When were you going to tell me?"
"I was planning on telling you today in person, but it seems like the whole school found out without me having to say a word."
She pouted. "Why didn't you tell me that you and David were having problems?"
"Because I knew you would just judge me like everyone seems to be doing nowadays."
She squealed in protest. "You think I've been judging you?"
"I don't think, I know."
She thought about it for a minute, opening and closing her mouth a few times. "So that's why you've been shutting me out lately," she said sadly.
"I'm sorry," I said softly.
"No, I guess it's my fault. I'm sorry if I've been judgmental, that's not what a good friend does. You've never judged me, and you deserve that same kind of friendship." She paused. "So, who is it?"
"What?"
"You may have pushed me out these past few weeks, but I still know you. You love David, yes I said it in the present tense, and the only reason you would break up with him is if you found someone that swept you off of your feet. So who is it? Who stole your heart?"
I smiled and rolled my eyes. I don't even have to tell this girl anything yet she still knows everything.
"His name is Aiden, and he doesn't have my heart, we're just friends."
Her mouth dropped, and she put down her food. "You're dating the Aiden Grant? As in quarterback, total hunk Aiden Grant?" she half yelled.
"Shh! Don't go spreading rumors. I just said we're only friends."
She smirked. "But you do like him right?"
I felt my cheeks get hot. "I may or may not have a crush on him."
"Oooh, check you out! I think you guys would be cute together," she said looking past me. "Well, look at that. Speak of the devil and he shall appear."
As she said it, I felt someone sit next to me, their arm brushing against mine. Judging my the jolt of electricity that went through me from that slight touch, it was Aiden. I turned to his smiling face. His smile was so wide and infectious that I couldn't help but smile back.
Bianca cleared her throat. "I'm going to go sit with Trey. You two lovebirds have fun," she cooed teasingly.
Aiden smiled at me seductively. "Well, now that we're all alone..." he inched closer to me.
I laughed and pushed him away playfully. "We're in a crowded cafeteria, I'd hardly call that all alone."
He laughed with me, and then his expression got serious. "So I heard."
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Yeah. I must say, it would've been way more satisfying if I heard it from you." he smirked.
I smiled. "In that case..." I inched closer to him and put my mouth next to his ear. "I broke up with David. I'm a free agent now," I whispered.
I pulled away and looked at him. His eyes were full of desire and longing. I'm pretty sure my eyes were giving off the same.
"Well, Tracey Morgan, you have just made my day."
"I'm glad to hear that."
He smiled again, putting his hand on my thigh. It sent a wave of desire right through me. Am I ever going to stop feeling like this around him?
"Look, I know you said you want to do this right. I'm in no rush, I'll wait as long as I have to. We can take things as slow as you want to." He cupped my cheeks with his hands. "I really like you Tracey, and I'll do whatever it takes to win you."
I felt my cheeks heat up again. "I really like you too Aiden."
He released my face, and I felt my eyes wander around the lunchroom. They landed on David, and he was staring right at me. I could feel his anger all the way from here, and I shuddered.
"What's wrong?" Aiden said, worried.
His eyes obviously followed mine, and when he saw what I saw he growled. He turned my face back to his. With a serious expression on his face he said, "If he ever tries to hurt or mess with you, tell me okay?"
I nodded, but I still felt terrible. David has every right to be mad at me, and I deserve whatever he does to retaliate.
