Life Ain't fair

Chapter 21

[Edited]

Amelia's POV

It was a normal day at school and I was excited either way because Peter was picking me up today. I was really really excited. He is my first boyfriend ever. I have actually never liked many people in my life. I have had a crush on Peter for many years. The only people I have ever kissed are Peter and well Austin. Yes the same Austin that is my friend now. He was my first kiss. When we were 13 we went on a camp and we played a game and I had to be kissed by him. I liked him then. The first guy I ever liked but then slowly I stopped because as he grew up he flirted with everything that had two legs and was beautiful. I tried my best to get over him actually but finally Austin's stupid ways made me get over him.

I tried to stop thinking of him and got ready. I wore high waisted jeans along with a green top. Sleeves loose and folded.

After I was ready I had breakfast and went out to see Peter waiting for me. I saw him arguing on his phone but as soon as he saw me he cut it and smiled at me and got down the car. He came towards me and kissed me. He opened my car door and I got in. He jogged over to the other side and he drove. The entire ride he kept my hand in his. These sweet gestures made me like him even more.

We reached school a little early. So we went over to a corner to sit or rather make out. We both began kissing and slowly it turned heated. He began kissing down my neck and his hand started to wander to places where it should not. We were hidden in a place where no one could see us but still this made me uncomfortable. He is my first boyfriend and I do not want to take it fast I am not used to it.

I tried to stop him but he did not and kept continuing so I pushed him off me.

"Stop Peter".

"What is wrong with you. We have been dating for two weeks and you can't even handle my touch" he yells at me.

The sound of his yelling makes tears come to my face. I know I shouldn't cry for it but I cannot help it.

"Im sorry. It's not your touch . It's just that I am new to all this stuff". I say.

I was never one to be completely shy. I am confident in front of those who know me. Not in front of everybody.

He looks at my tears and his expression softens. He comes near me and hugs me.

"Shh baby I am so sorry. I really am sorry. I don't know what got into me. I was just scared that maybe you don't like me or something. Im sorry. " He apologized.

"It's fine just don't do it again okay?." I ask looking at his eyes.

"Yes I will not do it again you can take your time." He said.

The bell rang and we went to our classes. But before my first period was done I got out of my class to I had to go to my locker as I forgot something. But then I heard voices inside the ladies room.

They were more like moaning. But someone was speaking too and the voice was familiar. I went there against my better judgement. Just before I opened the door I heard a girl's voice.

"What about your girlfriend. Aren't you with that alia chick.". She said.

"Ohh Amelia. Yeah I am dating her but it's just a bet. I need to get in her pants and it's done. But you know a guys got his need doesn't he?." Replied the male voice.

No. No . Nonono .

This cannot be happening. Let this be a dream please. I cannot bear it.

I opened the door just to be sure.

The sight in front of me made pain sear through my heart.

"Peter". I whisper

Right in front of me is Peter along with a girl below him. n***d.

He looked over me and surprise flooded his eyes. But not guilt not one bit.

"Amelia baby. It isn't what it looks like" he said.

Isn't that what they always say I thought and walked out of there. I couldn't bear standing there for another minute. I ran and ran and reached behind the staircase and began to sob. I cried for what felt like hours but in reality were only a few minutes.

A few minutes later a shadow came over and I looked up to see Austin looking at me with confusion. He sat down so that he was in face level with me. And came closer to me.

"What happened Amelia" he asked. His voice made me break down again. I held on to him and cried. He held me all the while and after that he asked me about what happened. I told him everything. After I was finished. He was angry. Really really angry. I have never seen him so angry in my life ever. I tried to calm him down but he did not. He walked away and I followed him. Peter was in gym. He walked over to him and beat him up. I tried to stop him but he wouldn't budge and when he was finally unconcious. He moved away.

He Held me and took me out of the school building to another old building there. After we were inside he switched on the lights and there was a couch in there. We sat down. None of us spoke for a while.

"Thank you" I said.

"Its--"

I cut him off

"But that was unnecessary"

"It so was not" he argued.

"It was . You didn't have to hit him" I said.

"So what now you are taking his side" he yelled.

"I am not taking sides. What will happen if he decides to press charges on you huh. What will you do. He is an asshole but by doing this what if I lose you. I will not lose you because of him" I say in a sad voice.

"Im sorry" he mutters after a while.

When I didn't reply he says it again

"Im sorry Amelia. I did not think of it that way. I was just so angry at that Asshole. What was he thinking of himself. How dare he cheat on you"

I wince as he says the last part. Yes I know he cheated on me but being reminded of that sucks. The first guy I ever loved was Austin but the kiss we shared was nothing more than a game for him. But that was fine . We barely knew each other. But for Peter to do that. He knew how much I liked him. And I thought he liked me too. But maybe I had just imagined it.

Austin comes closer to me and hugs me after a while we pull away and look into each other's eyes. His eyes were so beautiful and intoxicating. I never really put thought into it for a long time. Our faces were really close to each other and before either of us did anything. The door opened and Sophia came in. I wondered how she knew of this place. But I did not put much thought to it. I saw that she sat down and began to cry over there. It made me forget whatever happened today and I rushed to her side. I stayed with her for a while.

I then took her up and drove her home in Austin's car as I did not bring my car today. I regret coming with that asshole now. I dropped Sophia home. I did not want to ask her any questions as she was quiet. She would tell me on her own accord I thought and went home after dropping her off. I took Austin's car with me and asked him to pick it up if he wanted. And that I couldn't bring it to him.

He agreed. I went into my room and began sobbing again. I was alone in the house as everyone was out for work and my sister was in College. I did not want to keep crying anymore and decided to do the ice cream technique. I wore baggy clothes and went to the kitchen to see no ice cream. Dammit I thought. Before I went up to change my clothes to go buy some. There was a knock on my door.

Who would come at this time I wondered and walked towards the door and opened it and laughed in surprise.

Austin came along with two tub of ice cream. I let him in. And we sat together on the couch and watched all my favourite horror movies.

Austin shouts like a girl. His reaction to every scene was so hilarious. I laughed so much that tears were forming in my eyes. I tried scaring him the between too. We had a lot of fun and he made me forget what happened with Peter today.

When he left I was truly happy. Finally I felt content. Today might have been a day just like friends but yet it meant a lot to me that he was here with me today. After what Peter did I needed this.

I will not wallow in my own stupid self pity. I am going to show that asshole that I don't need him. And that he was as disposable to me as I was to him.
