It Doesn't Work That Way (On Hold)

It Doesn't Work That Way Chapter 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My God! How come all the interesting things happen when I'm not around?" Maya was ranting and pacing while Stella and I just sat on the couch staring at her.

"He's a total jerk. Why was he acting like that?" Stella said now completely ignoring Maya who was still pacing and ranting in the background.

"Don't know. He didn't show up for chem class today. Which I was kinda happy about. But why was he freaking out on me?" I said clutching a blue throw pillow to my chest.

"I have no idea but I wish I knew." Stella said shaking her head. At this Maya stopped pacing.

"Are you guys stupid? Rose, Sean has a thing for you! He always has! He can't stand to see you with Mike. He obviously thought you were getting closer. He was probably going to ask you out if you hadn't said yes to Mike." Maya yelled this at me. I started to shake my head.

"I hate to say it but I think Maya might be right."

"Hey!"

"Not what I meant Maya. Anyway I may not like the guy but he obviously likes you."

"No! No way! Sean does not have a thing for me. There's got to be another answer."

"There isn't. There is no other answer." Maya said flinging her hands above her head.

"Well I don't accept that answer! Because it isn't possible!"

"God! You have a thick skull! Why has he kissed you so many time? Why is he upset that you are going out with Mike? How do you explain those things?"

"I'm just another one of his conquests! This isn't a fairy tale Maya! This is reality! Sean is not my Prince and he is not coming to sweep me off my feet and profess his undying love for me. Things like that don't happen in real life! All he wants is my virginity and he's come really close to getting it!" I said immediately regretting that last sentence. They both looked at me.

"What are you talking about? I thought you two just made out when he was over." Maya asked confused now.

"I'm sorry I didn't want anyone to know, ever. It was the summer before sophomore year. When you were in the UK and Stella was in Mexico." I said looking down at my feet.

"Rose, what happened?" Stella asked quietly.

"Right after you left I went to the pool and ran into him. We started flirting. He asked me out, I said yes thinking he had changed. We went out for the next couple of weeks. Then one day we were at his house, his parents weren't home and we started kissing. Really kissing. Articles of clothing were removed. When he tried removing my bra I stopped him. He kind of freaked out. Said some mean things, but the worst was probably when he said if I wasn't going to put out I should just leave. So I put my clothes on and did just that, I left. I ran all the way home. The next day it started. The photos of him and other girls started popping up on Facebook. But no one knew what happened between us. Not even his best friends. So I didn't say anything to anyone, it hurt so much. I stayed home working out and cleaning. I stayed off Facebook for 2 weeks then deleted him, but not before I saw the bet. Him and his friends had a bet on how many girls they could do over the summer. He won. 99 girls." I took a shaky breath trying not to let the tears in my eyes fall.

"You were supposed to be 100." Maya said looking at me. Stella was silent.

"Actually I was supposed to be lucky number 7. But it turned out not to be so lucky for him."

"Wait 7? How is that possible? Summer was almost over. He wouldn't have had time."

"That's the worst part. Over half of those girls he slept with while we were dating."

"That jackass! I'm gonna kill him!" Stella said getting up.

"No Stel. It's not worth it. He's not worth it."

"Like hell it isn't! He needs to be stopped!"

"You know it won't work! Every girl at our school is absolutely in love with him! It will never work!"

"You are so blind! How can you not see?! He's a jerk! He will NEVER CHANGE not for you or for anyone else! He uses girls then dumps them! That's how he is, that's how he'll ALWAYS be! Nothing you say or do will EVER change him in anyway!"

"Don't you think I know that!! He's a jerk I can't change that. But I can't help how I feel about him. I hate it but I can't stop myself from feeling. What do you expect me to do?!?! I can't turn my feelings off!!!"

"MY GOD! Now I know NOTHING I say will change YOUR mind. So I'm done. Goodbye Rose." Stella said going out the door and slamming it shut. I sat back down on the couch and put my head in my hands.

"He's in love with you." Maya said quietly.

"OH MY GOD MAYA! NO HE IS NOT! When are you going to get it. He's not in love with me! He loves to torture me! It brings him joy! He's not my prince! Get it through your head! We are not meant to be together!" I yelled. She got up with tears in her eyes and ran out the door and down the street. I went to the door and locked it. Then I went to my room and went to bed not bothering to change into my pj's. I couldn't bring myself to care.

* Well it didn't go up when I wanted it to, so I'm sorry to those of you that are actually reading this. Hope you like it, questions and comments always welcome. As well as votes and followers :) I should have chapter 6 up either in a couple hours or tomorrow morning...or later this morning technically. Depends on how long I can keep my eyes open. Also do any of you watch the Walking Dead because I don't think I can get any angrier/sadder/frustrated with the show.*
