50 strings of A

Left alone

Thomas's POV

I stood there in 7-eleven, watching as Abraham drags out William by the arm. William sobbing his heart out.

Ah shit. I messed it real bad. How did this all happen? How did it lead to yelling at William at one of our favorite hangout spots? Right. When I told him about Owen. He started freaking out when I told him, but he didn't have to make such a big deal out of it. It's like he was jealous of Owen. But why?

Out of nowhere, I felt a gentle tug on my sleeve, snapping me out of my train of thought. I turned around to meet a disappointing face plastered across my boyfriend's face.

"Stop staring out into space and pay for the food. I need to talk to you alone and not in front a 7-eleven employee."

With that said, I payed for our food and I walked out trying to grab Owen's hand, but he sadly refused. We made it to the park and sat down on the cleanest bench.  Once we sat down, nothing was said. The tension started to build up and I couldn't handle it. I look over to see Owen, not even looking at me, minding his own business.

I started to sweat on this cool afternoon. The sun was setting, the scenery was beautiful, but the moment was not right.

I guess the saying was right.

The tension was so thick you can cut it with a knife.

"Why did you go and say all those things to William? I know he doesn't like me, but no one should be treated that way. Even he doesn't treat me that way! You even made him cry!"

"I was just couldn't handle it. He kept hurting you for no reason. I couldn't understand why he would hurt someone I love. He knows that it hits me hard too."

"Did it hit as hard as the years of torture he faced that you brought up today?" I froze.

I really did mess up. I ruffle my hair as I laid my head on my arms. Knowing my hair, it barely moves, it just looks like I ruffled a bunch of toothpicks painted black and hot glued on my head. I laughed out loud by accident in the worst situation.

"What's so funny?"

"How I tried to ruffle my hair to relax, but knowing it, it's as stiff as me."

"How so?"

"Well it's kinda like my di-" before I could finish my sentence, Owen covered my mouth.

"What were you thinking? We're out in public!"

"Trying to lighten the mood before I pass out from stress."

"God, I don't even know why I started dating you."

"It's because you wanted all of this~. And that's what you get when you asked for it."

After making that comment, I turn to meet an annoyed face.

"Oh don't give me that look. You knew what you were getting when you said yes."

I heard a soft giggle that eases my anxiety.

"Yeah, you're right. But who knew the guy that ask me out was such a jerk!"

I winced as Owen raised his voice.

Man, he's really angry about this. I scooch closer to him. He didn't run away so I decided bows my chance. I wrap my arms around his waist and cuddle with him. Owen didn't push me away, now I can make it up to him.

"I'm sorry okay? I'll try to make up with him tomorrow at school. If it doesn't work out, I'll tell you, and I'll tell you the full truth."

He turned to look at my face with eyes shining like stars.

"Really?"

"Really."

And with that I kissed him gently on the lips. But it seemed like that wasn't enough for my hungry beast. He grabbed me by my collar and started to kissed me everywhere. Some soft and some hard. When he was done, he looked into my eyes and said,

"I love you so much."

I couldn't help but blush. He was so cute that it makes my heart want to burst into an explosion of happiness. I giggle.

"Now why are you laughing this time?"

"I'm laughing because of how lucky I am to have you. I love you so much too!"

And with that, I got a text from my mom for me to come home before it got too late. I walked Owen home, but the way back to my house was quite uncomfortable. I was thinking of all the ways William might react tomorrow. And if Abraham is gonna be there. Am I going to lose my cool? Geez, who knew apologizing to someone was so difficult. Well it's all for Owen. And to save one of my closest friend.

But once I walked into the house, all those thoughts vanished like magic, by the only thing that what make you forget everything but what's going on right then and now. It was my mom.

(Pretend there's an angry Asian lady yelling.)

"Wut da hell? Why you come home so late? I told you clean, but I see no clean! What the fuc you do all day, huh??? I give you life but you do nothing, go clean!"

Then she started cussing to herself in Chinese. I quickly went upstairs to clean, then I remembered what I have to do tomorrow.

I sigh out loud.

This is going to be a tough week.
