Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 58: Strictly Speaking
EMMA’s POV :
"What do you think?"he said.
"I don’t know.Are you?"
He looked at me as if I should know the answer already, but I just stared at him with a puzzled look on my face.
"Every day I woke up and I wished that I'd just die,"he paused for a beat before continuing, "To live a life without you is like not living a life at all.But if that’s what happiness is, then yeah, I guess I’m fucking elated,"
Not even this level of sarcasm could hide the pain and bitterness in his words.I didn’t realize he was feeling all these things.He never seemed to show it.Guess the joke was on me.
For the past month, I pretend like I was happy and fine.If anything, I should have known never to judge a book by its cover.
"Why didn't you say anything?"I croaked.
"We're over and that's it.It doesn’t matter what I feel,"
"But it does matter,"I found the words escaped my lips before I could stop it.
Maybe it was the alcohol in me that was being brave, but I took a step closer to him.
I wanted so much to pull him into my arms and bury my face into his chest.
"Emma,"he warned, but he didn't move away.
"It doesn’t have to be over, does it?"I looked up at him when I was an arm’s length away.
"Emma —"
"Does it?"I pressed on.
We were standing so close to each other.
I leaned my face upwards and he leaned his head down.I could feel his warm breaths on my face and it was like oxygen to my dry lungs.For the first time in months, my heart was beating so fast and strong, like it was beating again after an absence of life.
When I saw that his lips were only a mere inch away from mine, I closed my eyes and waited in anticipation...
"Hayes?! Is that you?"suddenly a loud voice called out and we pulled away instantly.
"John?"lan squinted his eyes at the two figures standing at the distance behind us.
I looked at the two figures and noticed it was Coach Pullman and Ms.Diaz.I heard rumors that the two were going steady, and by the way they were holding hands with each other, it seemed like the rumors were true.
"Who's that?" Ms.Diaz put her hand over her eyes to see clearer.
Shoot! It’s not good that they saw us together! "Ah, I was just telling Ms.Sinclair that she has to go back to her room.She's breaking curfew,"
lan was quick to react.
"Oh, it’s senior week.Take it easy, Hayes,"Coach Pullman sounded a little drunk.
The two of them then walked away and I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding.
lan looked relieved too.Thankfully it was dark out here and they didn't seem to notice anything off about us.
"You should go," he said finally.
"But..."I started to speak, but he cut me off quickly.
"And to answer your question, yes, it does,"he paused for a moment before continuing,
"Just because two people love each other, doesn't mean they have to be together,"
lan’s tone was cold and flat.
He didn’t wait for me to say anything else and he turned away.I wanted to call out after him, but I knew it was useless.
Even though it was clear as day that he still cared about me, he had made his choice.He chose not to be with me and I had to accept that.
"Just because two people love each other, doesn’t mean they have to be together,"
thought in mind, I pulled out the locket from my back
