The bad boy

Life must go on

Monday came around and I was ready for school. I was definitely ready for a distraction. I went from hanging out with the gang and Liam 24/7 to only seeing Jonas and my dad for three days. I was definitely ready. I was lucky that no one at school really knew about me and Liam and they wouldn’t look weird at me or ask me. I knew I would have to see Drake because we had two classes together but I could keep the interaction to a minimum. I still felt humiliated and even though the whole gang reached out to me and told me to just contact them if there was anything I really didn’t want to face them. I needed to clear my head and move on with life. Maybe it was for the best? How could Liam and I have a future together when he would probably always be on the run from the police and I knew I wanted to go to collage and get a great job. How would that work, so yeah maybe it was for the best? At least that is what I tell my self.

I walked into the bathroom and quickly did my makeup and hair. I wanted to look cute today after only wearing sweats and having my hair up for the last couple of days. I needed to do something for myself to feel good and life must go on. I got dressed and walked down stares to find Jonas in the kitchen getting our lunch ready for us. I said a quick good morning to him. Today I was going to meet this girl of his for the first time which also helped keep my mind of things. There was a football match after school and she would be there! I grabbed an apple and ate it. It would be enough for me for breakfast as I rarely ate much.

We got to school and I was actually looking forward to going to class. I wanted to get my grades up so that I would finish with a great result. That way I knew I could get into a great collage. Jonas and I headed to our first class which would be one of the ones I had with Drake. I knew it would bring back some memories of that day, but I needed to focus on other things. As we enter our class we find Kate sitting and waiting for us. Jonas take a seat next to her and i in the other side of Jonas. This way we could all help each other. In the last minute I spot Drake walking in. He gives me a small smile which I repay. I mean I don’t want to be rude. He takes a seat behind Kate. They have something going, and what happened between Liam and I shouldn’t get in the way of that. The teacher walks in, but and class begins. He told us, that we would be having a test at the end of this week, and it would count a lot in our final grades. I knew I had to study hard for it. Only A’s here I come. The rest of the school day goes by quick and I really gives me a great distraction. It kinda makes me see that I really can do this. I really can move on in life instead of feeling sorry for myself.

After school I head to the football field. The game isn’t before an hour and a half, but Jonas’ girl would be there while they practiced so I agreed on keeping her company for the time being. It would be a lot better than being home alone in Jonas’ house to be honest. As I get near the football field I spot Jonas and his girl. I walk up to them and say hi. Jonas introduce us to each other and we instantly hit it of. We actually have a lot in common. She is great company and we just spend the whole hour and a half talking about who knows what. We go around how Jonas and her met, I tell her the story of how Jonas and I met. She knew the history between Jonas and I, it didn’t mind. I did make it to tell her that we really agreed that being best friends was way better than being more. I even told her about Liam. She apologised a few times about it and actually told me that she had tried something similar with her ex. Only difference was that he didn’t use her, but she also fell for a bad boy. She was just happy that she now found Jonas. After the hour and half the game started and we cheered the team on as loud as we could. We needed them to win. It would mean moving up in the league. Jonas could use this for collage applications and he sure wanted to make a great impression.

The game is almost finished and right now it is a tie.. we have the ball though and I can see that Jonas has a great position in the field. Hope his teammate see that too. The ball gets passed to Jonas and all he has to do now is get the ball in the net. I know I make it sound easy but how hard can it be. We all hold our breaths as we await his shot. He looks at the goal and then to the ball before shooting. It seems like time is going in slow motion! The ball hits the corner of the goal and just barely makes it into the goal. We all rise screaming victoriously. The team bro hugs and takes Jonas up and their shoulders. We make our way down there to congratulate them. Jonas and his girlfriend kiss while I hug him and tell him congratulations.

Jonas is my ride, so I wait alone for him to change. I stand outside in the parking lot when I spot Drake, Liam and Lexi. They must be here because of Drake. He was at the football game too. With some of his classmates. They must be his ride maybe? What is she still doing in the gang. She was the rat, what are they doing with her? I look at them and I can see Lexi hugging Liam and holding his hand. Well he sure did move on quick then. They haven’t spotted me yet as I am standing in a darker placer behind a wall. Luckily because I can feel myself breaking again. Jonas comes out from the changing room and asks if we should go. He soon spots where I am looking at and can see that we have to walk past them to get to Jonas car. ‘Ella do you want me to get the car!’ I shake my head. If he moved on so quickly then so should I. I shouldn’t let him see how much our breakup had broken me. He shouldn’t get that satisfaction. To be honest it just feels like he really did just lie to me even at the end of things. I feel the necklace that he gave me in my pocket and I know now that I should just hand it back to him. That would show him that I am moving on! I tell Jonas my plan and he smiles and nods. We start walking towards Jonas car, and comes closer to Drake, Liam and Lexi. She is now leaning up against Liam, but when he spots me he pushes her away a little bit. She looks angry at his action. I go up and say hi to Drake and then turn to Liam. I pull out the necklace and say ‘Here, I believe this belongs to you!’ He looks at me hurt and says ‘It’s yours’ I then reply ‘It isn’t mine, or at least not what it stands for so here you can have it back!’. I then once again turn to Drake and say ‘See you at school tomorrow Drake’ and with that Jonas and I walk to his car without looking back. We drive off. I feel a little better, because at least I got a final say. I got to be not the bigger person, but I got to have closure. I am ready to move on with my life!
