Lost In His Arms

Chapter 21

My first instinct was to go find Atcher, but I ended up in the bathroom.

I looked at my reflection. My makeup was now smeared and I looked like a raccoon.

Austin's lying. Atcher loves me. He said he always will.

I repeated that as I fixed my makeup.

I really did like Austin, a lot. But after he started ignoring me, I lost my feelings for him and them Atcher came along.

Atcher is the one for me.

I smoothed out my dress and went out into the hall, looking for Atcher. As I passed the hallway I couldn't help but notice a familiar head of blonde in the corner.

Curiosity got the best of me and I moved closer to the corner. There was another blonde and she was wearing a pink dress, she looked like a cupcake.

Wait. Cupcake? Pink?

Tracy.

I smirked to myself. Thinking this would be great to use against her. I peeked further around the corner. Her legs were wrapped around the guys waist and she was kissing his neck. He was looking away. He looked up and I noticed the sharp familiar jaw line.

I went around the corner and noticed his full face.

It was Atcher. My Atcher.

"What the hell!?" I yelled. Looking at the two blondes. Tracy quickly unwrapped her legs and pulled her dress back up.

Atcher fixed his shirt and muttered something. Panic took over his face.

He ran over to me. "Adelaine, just let me -"

I cut him off, not wanting to hear his pathetic excuse.

I couldn't help but think Austin was telling the truth. I took a deep breath.

"Is it true? You bet Austin that you could fall in love with me, cause he liked me?" I paused, waiting for him to answer.

Atchers eyes widened in shock.

"You stopped liking me, but still went out with me?" I paused again. He didn't say anything. He was looking at the floor. That just cleared those answers. I needed to hear it from him.

"Answer me, God damn it!!" I yelled, looking at him. His head quickly shot up. He didn't meet my eyes. He did that when he was lying.

"It's true" He mumbled. Tears poured down my face.

Austin was right.

My stomach clenched.

Next thing I know, my hand collided with his cheek. My hand was stinging afterwards. Atchers hand stayed over his cheek. He looked up at me and his eyes were glowing with water. He was about to cry.

I should feel bad. But, I don't.

Tracy stepped forward. I almost forgot she was even here.

"How dare you slap him!" She said, coming up to me.

"You stay out of this!" I snapped, pointing my finger at her.

I guess I must've been super scary because she flinched back and kept quiet.

"Why!?" I yelled in Atchers face, tears coming down.

"I didn't want to lose you like I lost Beth. You were the first girl that I had an interest in ever since Beth. I only went out with Rachel because I needed someone. I admit I didn't like you anymore at the beach house. But, when I saw you with Austin it made me mad. I liked you first." He explained.
