Who do you Love? | Joey Graceffa&Sawyer Hartman

Chapter 55: You're giving up?

We walk side by side in silence. I glance over at him, ever so often. He just looks straight ahead, his serious expression never changing.

The elevator dings as we reach the second floor. I walk ahead, down to the end of the hall. I slid the card into the slot. I open the door, motioning Sawyer to enter first. He did so. I close the door behind me. Sawyer stood, facing me, setting his crutches on the side of the wall.

Mariella: Do you need any help?

Sawyer: No. I'm fine.

He hobbles over to the couch, sitting down.

Mariella: Why do you look so mad?

Sawyer: Why did you let Lisa give Ricky your number?

I raise an eyebrow.

Mariella: Because, he's my friend.

Sawyer: I saw the way he looked at you..

Mariella: He wasn't looking at me like anything. We were just talking.

He lowers his tone.

Sawyer: More like flirting..

Mariella: Says the guy whose not seeing anyone!

He grabs his head.

Sawyer: Let me explain-...

I stop him.

Mariella: There's nothing to explain. You said it all on stage.

Sawyer: Mariella, we talked about this.

Mariella: I know, but I'm not okay with this anymore! "This" to you, is telling everyone that you're single and looking. What about me? What about my feelings?

Sawyer: What about your feelings?!

Did he really just say that?

Mariella: I can't believe you. First at the hospital and now this!

He raises his hands up, confused.

Sawyer: What even happened at the hospital?

Why is he acting so clueless..

Mariella: You told the doctor I was just your "Good Friend". Why did you say that? Was she prettier than me?

Sawyer: No-...

Mariella: Then, why even say that?!

Sawyer: I didn't know it bothered you. You should've told me.

Mariella: "I should've told you?" Any girl would be bothered by that!

Sawyer: Well I can't read minds, Mariella!

Mariella: Well, I'm telling you now. I'm not going through this anymore! You've made me look like an idiot twice already! This is the last time you're going to make a fool out of me!

Sawyer: That's not what I wanted to do! I'm sorry!

Mariella: Then, what were you trying to do?

Sawyer: I was telling the fans what they wanted to hear.. That's all.

What?

Mariella: You're kidding, right..

He was silent.

Mariella: That is the saddest excuse I have ever heard.

He stares at me.

Mariella: Do you even love me?

Sawyer: I do.

Mariella: Then, why are you saying those things? Why can't you tell people about me?!
