Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 61: Calling Card 

IAN’s POV : 

It was a lousy Sunday.Lately, every day was a lousy day.The last time I saw her was at the end of senior trip.

She walked off with that kid Tyler and I actually followed them out to the beach.

She didn’t know, of course, I was just a creepy stalker.

The kid asked her to go to prom with him and she said yes.

I knew I lost her then and there.

We talked on the first night at the beach and she asked me if things really had to end between us, and as much as I wished I could say no, I said yes.

She deserved to have the life she wanted, to go to U Penn without anyone dragging her behind.

She deserved to go to the prom with this kid who was head over heels for her, even though she couldn't see it.

I was supposed to chaperone the prom, but I made some lame excuse and I got away with not doing it.

Principal Finn had been super chill with me lately.

Not only that he extended my contract for another year, but I also didn't have to spend as much as hours as I did before and still get paid the same amount.

At first I wasn’t gonna extend my contract because I wanted to focus on my art.

Principal Finn was having trouble finding my replacement, so he begged me to stay for another year.

The cut in hours was a bonus he threw in so I could still do what I wanted to do.

These were all great things, but I couldn’t be too excited about it.

Nothing was exciting to me anymore.

Not since the accident.

After that day, everything changed and I was numb on the inside.

I never gave my heart out to anyone before because I never wanted to feel pain or hurt.

I loved my dad so much and when he died, I couldn't function.

I never wanted to feel that way again, so I built my walls and I never let anyone in.

Because if they never got in, they could never leave.

And the one time I finally gave my heart and soul out to somebody, the universe decided to play a cruel joke on me.

She almost lost everything because of me.

I caused so much pain and suffering in her life.

She deserved much better.

"You're a coward for walking out on her like that, you know that? You don't deserve her,"

I remember her mom saying this at school at that time.  I may be a coward for walking away, but I would be an even bigger asshole if I had stayed.

This way, she'd have a fair chance at a normal life.

She could date whoever she wants and go wherever she wants.

Still, that didn't mean I was gonna stop loving her.

I would always love her no matter what.

I just had to do it by the sidelines.

She never saw me, but I was always watching over her throughout that trip.

I followed her when she walked out to the beach at night.

I was still watching her the next day when she went out of the hotel with Tyler and went to the lighthouse.

It was ridiculous and embarrassing, but I just wanted to make sure she was safe.

This Tyler kid seemed alright.

I hated him, of course, but for all the wrong reasons.

He was kind to her and treated her right.

If she was gonna end up with anyone, might as well be him.

That didn’t mean I was gonna enjoy watching them be together.

That shit killed me.
