The One That Got Away

Chapter 16: Boom

Danielle P.O.V

Joshua and I were walking into the school gate. We were holding hands when I suddenly felt his whole body tense up.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Buddy over there from Y.F.G" he said mad as hell.

I didn't know to much about gangs but I did know that if you were in one gang you weren't to come in another's gang territory.

"Joshua, calm down okay." I said squeezing his hand.

I don't think I had ever seen him as mad as he was now.

"Why the fuck he over here? They gang all the way on the east side." He let go of my hand and walked over to the boy.

Without even saying anything he grabbed his shirt and pinned him up to the gate. Both of them were about the same size but you could tell just by looking at the situation that Joshua was a lot stronger then he was.

"What the fuck you doing over here in my territory?" He yelled.

At this point almost everybody walking into school had stopped and pulled out there phones.

"Two gangs goin' wild" I could see it now. The caption of the YouTube video.

The boy just laughed at Joshua and you could tell that made him even madder.

He let go of his shirt and started punching the boy. Each punch sounded off like a gun shot.

There was blood everywhere. This was a side to him I had never seen and I can't even lie I was scared ass fuck.

"Stop Joshua!" I yelled.

He turned around to look at me. I was shaking. He face immediately softened up as he realized what he was doing.

He let go of the boy and started to walk over to me. I stormed off without even waiting on him.

I was mad and I don't even know why. I walked down the hall but Joshua ran to catch up with me.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his chest. I hated when he did this because no matter how I was feeling, it instantly made me happy being so close to him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I just got so mad. I couldn't control--"

I grabbed his face and kissed him. God, I hated this boy so much. "Let's not talk about it."

He walked me to my first period class in silence. First period went by rather quickly and before I knew it I was in art class.

"So today is the day that we present our art project." Ms. Brooke said.

My head snapped to Joshua but he was already looking at me with wide eyes.

I burst out laughing. We got so close because of a art project we didn't even finish.

"Ms. Rogers is there something funny?" She asked

"Um nahh." I said sending a fake grin.

In the end, both Joshua and I got a 'F'.

It was now P.E and I changed into my gym shorts and sports bra. I put my long brown hair into a bun and walked onto the court if the gym.

I went over to Joshua to grab his hand but he snatched his hand away. Okay, maybe I'm tripping. I tried again but the same thing happened.

"Don't fucking touch me." He said glaring at me.

I was confused as hell. Why was he acting like this? But I did know one thing, I wasn't about to let him talk to me like that.

"Who dafuq you talking too?" I said looking him up and down.

He shook his head. "We're over." He yelled.

What? Did I just hear that correctly? I was just playing when I said who dafuq you talking too? What did I do?

"What?" I said. My voice was now cracking.

"You heard me. All of this shit was just a dare and after a month you were going to break up with me. It's sad as fuck considering I actually fell for you. I actually liked you. I actually loved you and you were just playing me all because of a dare." He yelled with tears pouring down his face. After that he walked out of the gym.

He didn't even give me time to explain what happened. I stood there, speechless.

I just wanted to break down and cry. Their was only one person who knew about the dare and that was Jamie.

Why would Jamie do that to me? I walked out of the gym, sports bra and all.

I knew Jamie's schedule by hard and I knew she would be in culinary arts so I walked to room 393.

As soon as I saw her I punched her dead in her face. I couldn't believe she actually did that to me. Why would she do that? I was crying and I was mad as hell.

I just lost one of the most important people in my life because of her. I punched her again and this time she stumbled backwards.

"I hate you!" I yelled.

I went back to the gym room, changed my clothes, and grabbed my things. I had a bad headache and I only wanted one thing. I wanted Joshua.
