Chapter 39
Joey's P.O.V.
I walk into school on Monday and my whole body is shaking. I am telling Dr. Joiner that Daniel and Mr. Harden had sex. She will believe it is totally unprofessional. My whole goal is to get Daniel fired. I can't have him here. If I see him everyday I will be tempted to get back with me. And believe me, that is the last thing I need right now.
I walk into her doorway and she is busy typing away on her computer. I knock on the open door and her head bolts towards me. She then breaks into a huge smile.
"Good Morning Joesph! What do you need?" She says motioning me to sit down. I gladly take a seat because otherwise I may faint.
"I just wanted to let you know that Mister Preda and Mr. Harden had sex. I found it completely unprofessional mainly because Mr. Harden was telling everyone about it and I believe Mister Preda HAD a boyfriend," I say putting emphasis on the had. Her eyes grow wide in shock. I turn my head and see Daniel walk into the main office. He looks through Dr. Joiner's glass and looks at me. I look away because I can't deal with this right now.
"You are very right. That is completely unprofessional. I bet that poor boy is heartbroken. Well he should be happy to know that both of them will be fired. Thank you Joesph. Have a great day," she says motioning for me to leave. It worked.
I walk out of her office and there is Daniel. He will probably teach only today and then have to leave tomorrow. He looks at me and opens his mouth to say something but I walj right past him.
"Will I see you for our after-school session," he says with only an ounce of hope shining through his tone.
"Only because I need a good grade, Mister Preda," I say walking out of the office.
Daniel's P.O.V.
I walk into the office and I see Joey in with Dr. Joiner talking. They both look at me and I instantly know what they are talking about, Mr. Harden and I having sex.
Joey walks out and I am about to tell him something important but he keeps walking.
"Will I see you for out after-school session?" I ask him with only a bit of hope. I don't expect to say anymore than he has to.
"Only because I need a good grade, Mister Preda," he says. They way he rolls Mister Preda off his tongue sounds and feels like he is spiting fire at me.
Dr. Joiner walks out of her office and asks me to come in. I happily do and she doesn't seem to happy. Here we go...
"Mister Preda, it has been brought to my attention that you and Mr. Harden had sex. Is this true?" She says looking me straight in the eyes making sure I don't lie to her.
"Yes. Yes we did," I say being to feel anxious because I know what is coming next.
"I wouldn't mind this. However, not only has Mr. Harden been talking about it, but it has been brought to my attention that you had a boyfriend while engaging in sexual intercourse with Mr. Harden. Is this true?" She says almost in disbelief that she is having to talk to me about this.
"Yes. And believe me, I am regretting more and more with each second," I say as a tear slips down my cheek when I think of Joey.
"Mister Preda, I appreciate you filling in for Mrs. Brown all this time. But I am going to have to ask you to leave after today. We will find another substitute for you and Mr. Harden," she says nodding her head as if locking in the fact that she has to find two people in her mind.
"Okay. I am very sorry. Believe me, I am learning alot from this mistake," I say. My voice is cracking between each word.
"Can I give you some advice?" She says leaning in and whispering a little.
"Yeah I guess..." I say. My stomach is churning with anticipation as she goes and locks the doors.
"Okay. We both know you messed up. We both know that was a dumb decision. Fix it. Don't let your boyfriend slip through your fingers. I can tell you love him. I can tell you didn't want any of this. I just can't let you stay here," she says grabbing my hand and shedding a tear herself.
"I am trying. Thank you," I say standing up to leave. My hand is on the door knob when she says one last thing to me,
"Daniel, quit going after thrill. Don't loose Joey. Fight for him." And with that adrenaline pumping statement locked in my head, I nod and walk out. Ready to take on the day.
Joey's P.O.V.
I walk to my first class. It is only me and Ricky in there. We are both really early because I asked him to meet me here early.
"Hey Joey what-" I cut him off by crashing my lips to his. He doesn't deny it. Instead, he starts kissing back. He places his hands to my hips and begins to deepen it. He licks my bottom lip begging for an entrance. I comply and let him dominate this kiss. I jump and wrap my legs around him. He holds me up by placing his hands on my thighs. This is wrong. This is all wrong. This isn't Daniel.
But that's the thing. This may feel wrong without Daniel. But, Daniel is wrong. Our relationship was wrong. Me falling in love with Daniel Christopher Preda was wrong. And I won't let him do me wrong again.
"Ricky, will you be my boyfriend?" I ask.
"Of course I will. What about you and Daniel?" He says. At the mention of his name my eyes sting threatening to over flow with tears.
"That's over. I want you," I say with a smile to my face.
Daniel's P.O.V.
The bell rings and I can't tell you how shakey I instantly got. That's one of the things me and Joey used to laugh about together. We both get so shakey whenever we are nervous. I love Joey. And I know, no matter how much he denys it, he loves me too.
He walks through the door and sets his stuff down and pulls out his notebook along with the book. For once he is actually going to do the assignmebt instead of just talking to me for a hour. Wow. It really is over.
"Joey I-" I begin but am shortly cut off by Joey,
"Save it for the next boy's heart you break," he says spitting his words instead of saying them.
"Joey please," I say walking over to him pleading.
"Are we going to finish this? Because it is to my understanding that today is your last day and I won't get anymore help," he says looking me in the eyes. Not in the way he used to. No. All I can see is pure bitterness towards me. And the sad thing is that I totally deserve it. I broke his heart.
"Okay," I say but it just comes out as a whisper.
The hour went by very slowly. Mostly because of all the tension in the room. Alot of it was radiating off Joey. I am trying to be calm. It just isn't working out. The hour is up and Joey begins to pack his stuff up. I walk in front of the door before he can get out of it.
"Move," he says trying to push past me. But, we both know that I am stronger.
"Joey, I don't think I will see you again. Atleast not for a long time. So I want you to know that I truly am sorry. Because of that night, not one drop of alcohol will ever pass through my body again. Joey, I love you. And I know you love me too. You just don't want to admit it because you are mad at me. Just promise me that you will think about us. Please, Joey. I love you," I say crying and becoming vulnerable when I really need to stay strong.
"You're pathetic. I hope he was worth it. I hope he was worth loosing me. Because believe me, Ricky is going to be worth loosing you," he says pushing past me.
"You're dating R-Ricky?" I say. Well, I whisper. I don't think anything louder could possibly come out of my mouth.
"Yes I am. Now Daniel, please understand if I see you again don't even say hello. Oh and one last thing. Fuck you," he says walking away from me.
"Joey wait," I say and pull a bracelet that I had made him as a gift out of my pocket. It is gold and has a J+D engraved on the inside, "please," I say motioning him to let me put it on his arm. His eyes soften when I place it on his wrist. He looks at me and then walks away.
I walk to my desk and start packing everything away. I found a note Joey wrote me. It says I love you Daniel. If there ever comes a day when I won't say it to you, read this note. Because I will always love you. -Joey
I put it in my pocket as a tear fell down my cheek and walked to the door with all of my stuff. Before I leave the school I drop a note on Dr. Joiner's desk. I want her to read it when Joey graduates. I leave the key to my old classroom, well technically Mrs. Brown's, on her desk as well and walk to my car.
I won't give up. And I know Joey won't either.
