It's been a week since that time in the empty classroom.

Jett's been treating me the same as always, even though I thought...I don't know, he'd maybe treat me just a little differently afterwards? I guess not.

I feel like he's actually been ignoring me now. He stopped taking me to my classes, stopped trying to make me do stuff as much.

I mean he still does make me hold his stuff for him, sometimes.

I thought we had connected somehow during..you know. Guess not.

I'm home alone, again. Mom still hasn't been back, it's been almost two weeks.

She did text me a few times asking me how I was and if  I had eaten okay.

Dad's been coming home late every night, almost every night around 3am I hear him stumbling upstairs to his room.

Here I am, sitting in the empty living room.

At least back then mom would be here doing something, or I'd have the expectation that she'd be back.

I feel kinda abandoned by everyone right now.

Even Silas, ever since that time in the bathroom where Jett scared him off he's been distant at school towards me.

I couch rot all day in the living room, filling my loneliness by watching tv.

I mean why do I care that Jett is ignoring me anyways? Isn't that what I wanted?

To finally get away from him? I don't know anymore.

My eyes start to get tired and I eventually drift to sleep on the couch.

About what seems like a few hours pass and I suddenly  hear a loud bang at the door, I'm startled awake.

What could that be? Jesus.

I slowly get up from the couch, checking the window that looks out onto the front porch to see who it is.

It's Jett? What the f-

"Open up nerd, I know you're in there."

I roll my eyes. What an asshole he still is.

I go up to the door and crack it open just a bit, looking up at Jett. "What the hell do you want Jett?"

He looks down at me, his face serious. "Just let me in."

I hesitate but I open the door and he walks in.

I close the door behind him and walk to the living room, sitting back down.

He walks slowly over to the living room and stands in front of me, looking down, his face nothing but serious.

I look up at him, "Well? Why are you here then?"

"I wanted to tell you that that time in the classroom where we, y'know...it meant nothing. It's just sex, okay?"

I suddenly feel a knot in my throat, my face dropping slightly.

"Yeah, I figured. It means nothing at all." I say in a soft whisper.

"Right, so I'll go back to making you my stuff holder full time. Got it nerd?" His voice stern.

I give a small nod, unable to even say a simple yes.

He leaves immediately after, slamming the front door behind him.

I feel a sting in my eyes, small tears forming in them.

But why? Why am I crying? That asshole.

It's the next day, a Wednesday. I'm walking through the halls and up the stairs to my first class.

I spot Silas, I give him a smile and he gives a small one back but he doesn't approach me like usual.

Great, that asshole scared away the only friend I've ever actually had.

I can't believe this, he's literally ruining my life.

I'm so confused too, I didn't even think I could like sex like that...

I enter my first period and I can't even focus on the lesson with all these questions in my head.

I get out of class, Jett standing there, "Arms out nerd." He says looking down at me.

I stick my arms out and he plops down his stuff on them, "Follow me nerd."

I follow him to his second class, entering just to set down his stuff on his desk.

"See ya after second period nerd."

I narrow my eyes but don't dare say anything back. I just head out his class and go to mine.
