Chapter 9
The tears are pouring down my face,I wipe them away. Looking down so that no one can see that I'm weak. I hate Thomas. I hate him I hate him. Why did I ever trust him? Why did I ever trust anyone?
I get a random bus,unaware of where I'm going. I sit at the back,head rest against the window. There's only like two other people on the bus,both with Headphones and probably aware of where they're going. I can't ask,I'd just look stupid.
We get off outside a huge shopping mall,full of those beautiful bold yellow lights. Like fireflies in the sky, I walk in and look round every shop. Playing a private game of what I would buy if I had millions and millions of pounds, but the ugly truth is that all I have is forty dollars. And that wouldn't get me anywhere. But my stomach is pounding so I find a Burger King,order a burger and large coke then sit alone as I eat up. As slowly as I can. Trying to think out my plans for the night.
"You need a hand?" A voice asks,I see Thomas standing there with a smile in his face.
"No." I go back to eating but he just sits opposite me.
"Yes you do."
"Go away."
"Margo-"
"I don't need anyone."
"You need me."
"Correction:I needed you. You betrayed me. I don't need you anymore."
"Listen to me."
"Oh I'm sorry,aren't you supposed to be having coffee with my parents?"
"They're probably outside the flat right now. But no one will let them in."
He winks at me as his hands slip into mine. I don't want to pull them away.
"I called them because I couldn't stand you in pain. I thought they'd be able to help you. I didn't know,I swear. Look,I like you. I want to live with you,I want you be rebuilt again. I want you to stay."
"You should've known I didn't want them."
"I wasn't thinking. And,I'm sorry. For being an idiot."
"You're not an idiot. I'm the idiot. You're my friend,the only one I have,and I can't loose you,I'm so messed up. But with you that just goes away,and no ones ever been able to do that before."
"So just come back?"
"What if everything messes up?"
"It won't. I'm you're friend and I'll support you no matter what."
"I don't have friends.. I only have one."
"We'll go back in a few hours."
Ding ding ding ding
"Tom is that your phone?"
"Yeah."
He checks down,presses a button then focuses back on me.
"Who is it?"
"Your parents."
"You gave them your number!"
"Yeah.."
"Just turn your phone off."
"It is."
We pick up a few things at the supermarket. Just shrugging things off like nothing's happened. Then walk slowly back,like we have all the time in the world. We then order ice creams and sit near a pond as the sun shines down.
"How many missed calls have you got?" I ask him.
"I don't know. Probably millions. It shows that they care."
"No. It shows that they're scared."
"They love you."
"You don't know them."
"What did they do to you?"
"They hurt me."
"How?"
"All they cared about what my Grades,not how I felt. They didn't understand,they didn't want to understand. So that's why I'm here."
"Well we can go back home soon. They won't be there and you'll be safe. All right,I promise."
