The Wrong Side of the Track Ch.6

Katie came in gave me a hug and sat down next to me even though we had gotten into a fight over the date with Marcus thing yesterday.

"So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not your keeper and you can date whoever you want" Katie said
"Well I’m glad you’ve seen the errors in your ways" I replied
"Just know I won’t be there to help you get ready for your date" she said joking
"Awe but Katie how will I get ready without you" I said sarcastically

Me and Katie were cool again through the first four classes we had together we decided during detention tomorrow we would bring our favorite catalogs and plan my upcoming birthday party. I wasn’t really excited about my birthday but hey a girl never wastes an opportunity to spend tons of money. Besides it was the big 1-8 and if I didn’t do it big I might regret it. After 4th I wasn’t excited knowing I had to face the wrath that is known as my ex, Tony. I entered the office and he was just standing at the desk watching me as I crossed the room to Mrs. Potter’s office.

"Hey Audrey" tony said
"What Tony" I said back with as much anger in my voice as I could
"Look Audrey I’m sorry about yesterday"
"Whatever Tony"
"Audrey it wasn’t right for me to-"
"Yeah, yeah same old song and dance I don’t care"

Just as I gave that remark Marcus walked in to the office.

"Hello Marcus may I help you" I asked
"Nah, just making sure you was fine" he said
"she’s fine" tony interjected
"I wasn’t asking you homeboy"
"I don’t care who you was asking I’m the one telling you"
"Umm excuse me Marcus I’m fine thank you Tony shut up" I shouted
"Alright then shawty"

Marcus left and tony stood looking at me like he had something to say to me.

"so you got your little boyfriends checking up on you huh" tony said
"he’s not my boyfriend he was being nice and making sure I was ok because correct me if I’m wrong you did have deaths grip on me yesterday"
"I said I was sorry"
"Sorry not gonna cut it this time Tony"
"I went to go help people who were entering the office. And keep my distance from Tony until he came up behind me while I was reading a text from Derek that said he would be at my house today.

"So what’s your little boyfriend talking about now" Tony scolded
"Its none of your business" I remarked
"I think it is"
"On what basis is it your business Tony you’re not my boyfriend your nothing to me"

"I’m just wondering how long ya’ll been talking before or after we broke up because if It was before that makes it my business seeing how we just broke up 2 days ago I doubt u have a new boyfriend that fast unless you got over me just like that maybe you didn’t really love me" he said

"You don’t have the right to question my love for you because even when you put me through hell I came back to you and even when you hurt me physically and emotionally I came back to you so you can question my sanity and my logic but not my love"

As I finished my sentence the bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and left. Tony stood there watching me leave. I got to my 6th period and Marcus was already there. I sat down next to him and stared at the board.

"Hey you ok" he asked

I didn’t reply I just sat there and tried to push back my tears but it wasn’t working and tears started running down my face. I got up and left the class I felt someone follow close behind me; I turned around and saw Marcus.

"Please stop following me" I said
"I just wanna make sure you okay" he said
"I’m fine please go away"
"You sure cause-"

Before he could finish his sentence I fell down the stairs in front of me thank god there was only 3 of them. Marcus ran up to me and helped me up.

"Now I know you’re not fine" he said

I started to sob uncontrollably and he embraced me into a hug. My face was buried in his chest and he rubbed my head and back comforting me it made me feel a lot better.

"I’m ….okay" I said in between sobs

I pulled away from his embrace and looked at him he took his hands and wiped the tears streaming down my face.

"You sure"
"Yeah we should get back to class"
"Maybe you should go to the nurse first that was a hard fall"
"No, I’m fine we should go before the bell rings and were late"
"Hate to tell you this but were already late the bell rang as you left the class"
"Oh well-"
"So you wanna talk about why you were crying"
"Not really"
"Okay then you wanna go for a ride"
"What"
"Come on follow me"

I followed him out the door and through the parking lot to his motorcycle he handed me his helmet and told me to hop on. At first I was skeptical but he looked at me with what looked like the most gorgeous grey eyes I’ve ever seen they were gorgeous I had never noticed them before. I knew I’d be okay so I got on and we speed out the driveway.
