Life Ain't fair

Chapter 11

[Edited]

I turned around and was shocked and a little terrified 

It was John.

The same guy that Alex had beaten the other day.

And the same guy that I had bumped into today.

I did not know what to say to him as I was shocked . I was normally a socially awkward person. I spoke to them only if they spoke to me first. But he was really drunk.

He was still looking at me expectantly. So I decided to reply to him.

"Hi" I said in a low voice.

"Hey beautiful . What are you doing here. ALONE." He said coming closer to me

The tone in which he spoke made me confirm that he was very drunk and his walking confirmed it too. He looked scary now. So I decided to take a few steps back. As I went back he came forward. I did not know what to do anymore so I tried to get away from him he tried to catch me. But I slipped through his hands and ran outside and I could still faintly hear him calling me.

I finally got outside and there was no one out here so I went to the side of the house and leaned against the wall. as I closed my eyes I was suddenly yanked of the wall and I was pulled into someones embrace. I was still dazed by it. but as I opened my eyes I saw that he had pulled back and I was face to face with John. I was scared of what he could do. but I already knew that whatever he did it couldn't break me anymore than I already was. This had already happened once.

His face slowly came closer to my own and he kissed me. I did not respond. I felt disgusted by it . but I knew that trying to stop it would only make it worst. that's what always happened with Eddie and Jackson. so I did not try to do anything and his lips attacked mine. His teeth grazing my lips in the most inhumane way possible. His tongue swirling in my mouth. His hands were roaming across my body. His touch made me feel disgusted in myself. It always felt this way. One of his hand held my face to keep it in place and the other one was going down dangerously close to my nether regions. Tears were continuosly streaming down my face.

All of a sudden. His body was yanked away from mine. My eyes were blurry and I couldn't see who had done it. That person was beating John up . He finally came beside me and I could finally see. As I saw him I moved away from him.

Alex.

Why did it have to be him that helped me.

He tried to come near me I flinched and moved away . And I saw something flash in his eyes but it was gone as soon as it came. And they hardened again

"don't" I said in a warning tone.

I couldn't let him see me like this. I wouldn't let him. I immediately got up

"Don't act like you are all better than him.Like you wouldn't have done the same thing if you were him. You are all s*x crazed humans.

I could see the anger that surfaced in his eyes now.

"You know what. I am done with you and you stupidly putting me down. I know what I am and have learnt to accept it. I did not need my FRIEND to remind me of it anymore." I said and walked away from him into the party. I will not give him the satisfaction of running away from the party.

The party was still in swing and I entered the more quieter part of the party. Students were playing truth or dare Amelia called me to play so I decided to join them. As I sat down Alex also joined us. Me, Amelia , Austin, Alex, Victoria, Peter, and two other friends of peter were paying with us.

Victoria turned the bottle first and it landed on peter.

" truth or dare peter" she asked

" Dare " he replied boldly

' well I dare you to kiss Amelia" she said.

I could see the sudden change in Austins mood and I thought that I would find out later. Amelia did not seem too pleased about it but went on with it nonetheless. It got boring after a few rounds. Seems like the same truths and dares kept on coming for everyone. Finally the bottle landed on me.

"truth or dare Sophia" Victoria asked in such a taunting voice that it made me feel like she had other motives.

"Dare" I said confidence laced in my tone.

"well I dare you to tell everyone one over here how much of an w***e you are. or maybe you prefer the word s**t" she said

"Victoria"

"what the hell"

"shut the hell up victoria"

I heard alex amelia and austin say at the same time.

"I am not a s**t victoria . but I cannot say much about you" I taunted. I don't know where this confidence was coming from especially about this but I will never let anyone walk all over me again.

"I beg to differ. It seems like you already made it though Austins pants. and I can see you are trying it for Alex too but don't worry sweethart he does not sleep with sluts like you."

"Victoria stop it" Alex said again. I could see that he was angry but there was nothing for him to be angry about as he would have said the same thing for sure.

" You need to shut that big mouth of yours victoria because if d***s had wings your mouth would be an airport."I retorted . I was clearly angry at her. she seriously needed to stop.

As I said that I saw that she was shocked and I could see the amused looks on everyones faces as they tried to control their laughter. And I got up to walk away but she recovered pretty soon

"Well EM and JK beg to differ. " as soon as those words left her mouth. I stopped dead in my tracks. I felt like I was paralysed. How did she know about Eddie and Jackson. OMG did everyone else know. do they all know what they did. It wasnt possible. Cassie herself did not know anything about it. I DID NOT REALISE IT SOONER BUT TEARS WERE STREAMING DOWN MY FACE... AGAIN.

"how" I asked my voice barely above a whisper.

"ENOUGH VICTORIA . YOU CAN JUST SHUT THE f**k UP . AND f**k OFF" Alex boomed.

He gave me his hand to follow him. I did for two reasons . First I was too dazed to find out what was happening around me. second I was scared that he was that angry and that he could do something to hurt me.

After he took me out I saw that there was no one around and I began to cry more but he defended me inside but those were the things he told me the other day how did he think it was justified. As angry I was with him I needed to know so I stopped abruptly which caused him to turn back.

"WHY" I asked barely above a whisper. and looked into his eyes. his hazel brown eyes shined in the reflection of the moonlight. different emotions passed though it.

" You defended me inside yet you said those same thing to me a yesterday. what changed huh??. what made you do it." I asked anger laced in my tone.

"you" he said finally meeting my eyes.

"what" I whisper yelled.

" yes you. listen to what I have to say first . I know you have no reason to believe me but please listen first."

I didn't want to but yet I nodded and he continued

" First I am sorry Sophia I really am. I have no excuse to whatever I said yesterday. I was already angry with you with what happened seven years ago. And on top of that you appeared all of a sudden to my favorite spot which no one knew about. I did not know that you would ever be back. I was overwhelmed, angry mostly. and I took my anger out on you . I was okay till yesterday but when you thought I would r**e you. That got to me. I may be an asshole Sophia but I am not..THAT" he scrunched his eyebrows together as if speaking of something disgusting.

I know that I have behaved poorly with you but as you said that I was seething with anger. And I would never do such kind of thing especially to you Sophia".

I did not know whether I should believe him or not. But one thing he said did catch my ear.

" you keep saying something happened before but you never tell me what." I asked him. confusion swirled in his eyes.

"you don't remember or you don't know?? " he questioned.

"what" I was confused now.

"do you remember what Tori told you before you left without saying me a goodbye" he accused.

" I never told you goodbye because I never thought you would care. Two days before that tori did come to me and told that you told her that you hated me and never wanted to speak to me again. It was the day we had an argument. We had arguments almost everyday but that day it was huge but I don't remember what it was about and we normally make up for it but that day when she told me that . I realised that that was the end to our friendship. that's why I never tried again. To be honest the kid in me cried like a b***h that day. but I did ask Tori to tell you about me leaving." I said.

He recoiled from me and his back hit the wall.

"omg. omg. omg. I hated you all this while without knowing what happened . I am such an asshole. god. what have I done" he kept muttering to myself.

this confused me even more.

"what was she supposed to tell me" I found my self asking.

" I don't think you are ready to hear that now. I will tell you once you are ready" he said

" I am so so so sorry Sophie."he said looking apologetic.

"but none of it excuses the things you said to me yesterday" I said bluntly.

"tori" his eyes widened as if he realised something.

'it was tori. it was tori all along. she never told you what I told. she lied to you. and she never told me you were leaving until a day after you left and said that you told her that you never cared about me and you never will. she kept putting things into my day from that day onwards. everyday she made me hate you more. I never realised it before but I do now. but why would she do it" he said

" because she is obviously in love with you." I said

" what. no that's ridiculous." he said

" no it isn't she always had a thing for you when we were younger." I said

he was shocked but recovered rather quickly.

"look all that does not matter anymore. right now what matters is that I need to apologise to you. I know that nothing I say may change your mind to forgive me. and I can easily blame the entire thing on Victoria but I cannot because as much as I hate it I am at fault. everything overwhelmed me to say the things I did. I did not mean any of those things sophia. I just hated you and needed the same kind of reaction from you. but I have realised my mistakes. and I want to amend them. I just need you to give me a chance after all this chaos. we both were in the dark about a few thing and I am sorry. I will keep apologising but please just give me another chance and I will not make you regret it." he pleaded .

I tried to search his voice and eyes for any kind of lies but I couldn't.

" Yeah I know but today has been a long day and I desperately need to go home and I need time to think about it." I said.

" yeah yeah of course. come on I will drop you." he said

" no. I came here with Amelia I need to go to her house" I pouted. I was kinda tipsy the drinks were a lot late in kicking in. well I did drink again while I was playing truth or dare.

"I am sure Austin will take care of her come on " he chuckled.

I don't know how his mood changed so quickly but he must be either great or bipolar for it to happen.

"okay" I mumbled.

he dropped me off at Amelia's house and I went inside.

my head was turning with how the events of today turned out. from being worried about what Alex said to the party to John to Victoria to Alex apologising and finding out a few things from the past it was all really unexpected and exhausting.And I needed a bath.

I did not want to believe him but whatever he said made sense .Maybe giving him a chance wont be that bad after all. I thought to myself.
