Chapter 16

"What the hell?" He asks taking a step towards me.

"W-What?" I sputter (like an idiot.)

"Why did you just run off? And what the just happened inside?" He asks.

I shift awkwardly and look towards the ground, then direct my gaze back up to his eyes.

"Uhh... W-Well I had t-to get home," I say (resisting the urge to scratch my arm.)

Craig stares at me expectantly. (Shit. He wants you to answer the other question.)

(I have to make him happy. Don't disappoint him like everyone else.)

"A-And well uh..."

"I heard yelling."

"Y-Yeah," I stutter out getting more nervous, "I-I was j-just talking with m-my mom..."

Craig sighs and shakes his head, "Are you okay?"

I stare at him. (Did he... What?)

I just stared at him (with the most confused and stupid look I could possibly manage.)

Then, he suddenly hugged me. I stood there like an idiot, as he held me.

My face was buried in his chest, as his arms were wrapped around me. His scent filled my nose. I liked it.

I wrapped my arms around his and pulled him closer to me, he then rested his head on top of mine.

"Why don't you tell me about this stuff?" Craig says into my hair, "You really worry me."

(I'm sorry I worry you so much. I don't mean to. I'm sorry I'm not good enough to be near you. I'm so, so sorry.)

"I'm sorry."

I feel Craig pat my head.

(I'm sorry I ever told you I loved you. I'm sorry Clyde made you go get me out of the bathroom that day. I'm sorry you were ever forced to deal with me. I'm sorry you ever worried about a stupid freak like me. I'm sorry you have to deal with my problems.)

"I'm sorry."

Craig didn't say anything. He just continued patting my head.

"I'm sorry. If I never said anything about any of it, you would've been happier. You wouldn't be bothered by my problems. If I'd never said a word, y-you would've forgotten about m-me. You would've b-been happy. Just f-forget me. F-forget I love you. Forget t-that we were ever friends. Forget I-it all. Forge e-every minute and go b-back to being normal. Find a g-girl and settle d-down, and be with her, s-some one more w-worthy of you. I-I'm so sorry.... S-so sorry..."
