Recap:
Emotions were running high through me, but the main ones were sympathy, anger and curiosity. Sympathy for the girl on my lap and the undeniably horrible things she had to suffer through. Anger at whoever hurt this girl so much that she changed from a slightly paranoid girl to the sobbing mass in front of me. Finally curiosity at what really happened during those months.
All I know is that if I ever got my hands on the person who did this to my best friend he’ll be a very sorry man.
Chapter 21
(Holly’s P.O.V)
It’s been two months since my breakdown with Emma and I have to say that it really helped me sort out my emotions to talk to her about all my insecurities. Since then I’ve been able to move on and have a semi normal life again. Not the same life though. My life can never be the same again because to have the same life you have to be the same person and I have changed too much to go back to how I was then. My life has also changed because of my new friends and new boyfriend.
Me and Deven have been going out for 3 weeks and he is absolutely amazing, he’s so different now that he is out of Evans hold and can actually let his kind and loveable side show, even though we haven’t officially said we love each other. He’s also a big hit with all my friends and brother, well most of my friends, there is still the problem with Dylan.
When Dylan found out that me and Deven went out, he freaked out, saying that he wasn’t good enough for me and that he was a filthy gangster only caring about himself. Of course I wouldn’t put up with that and set him straight immediately which only pissed him off more. We fought that whole day but in the end he came up and apologized to me, I forgave him because I didn’t want to lose one of my best friends. Even though he apologized he still hates Deven and has been acting weird lately. Always going where ever I go and always locking himself up in his house if he’s not with me. The guy who used to be Mr. Popular is now not even on the scale because he socializes with no one. I’m getting kind of worried about him.
“Holly, you in there?” Deven asked breaking me out of my thoughts. I jumped up in surprise, which had me hitting his face that was hovering above me. “Oww that hurt!”
“What the hell are you doing in my room? How’d you get on top of me?” I asked confused about what was going on.
“Well maybe you should be paying more attention and I wouldn’t have been able to get on top of you. Oh, and I was in your room to inform you that school is starting soon so you best get your lazy ass up and get ready.” Deven replied with a smirk.
I rolled over and shoved my head under a pillow groaning, “Ugh I don’t want to get up!”
“Come on! Don’t you want to get to the last day of school before exams?!” Deven said in an overexcited voice when I realized that he was right, today was the last day of school before exams. Since I came back from being kidnapped I have caught up with most of my studies, mainly because all I’ve done lately is study and eat, and teachers assume that I’ll be able to do exams just like everyone else but guess what? That isn’t happening.
“Don’t remind me about exams” I grumbled some more, trying to snuggle farther in the sheets, but of course Deven wouldn’t have that.
“Hey, if you’re going snuggling into something it best be me.” With that said he pulled me up from the sheets and plopped down where I was and laid me on his stomach. “See there you go, I bet I’m a lot comfier and better then that pillow filled with your drool.” He took the pillow in his hand and pretended to be grossed out, tossing it across the room.
I blushed from embarrassment, but tried to play It off, “You’ve had my spit in your mouth, why not my pillow?”
He eyes widened for a second in shock since I’m usually not this straight forward, then his features formed into his regular smirk and I knew I was in for trouble. “I wouldn’t mind some more of that spit in my mouth.” He said in a low suggestive voice while pulling me closer. And before I know it we’re in a full on make out session only to be interrupted by someone at the door.
“I think you should let Holly get ready, we’re leaving in 30mins.” Dylan said from the door. When I looked over he got a cloudy disturbed look over his face that he always had when he sees me and Deven together, he also looked like he’d been standing there watching us for a while. See what I told you about creepy.
“Oh ok, I didn’t know we we’re that long.”And with that he got up and walked to the door before looking back over his shoulder, “See you downstairs.” Then he winked and ran off.
Sometimes I worry about that boy, I thought to myself as I got up to get ready for school.
*********************
Although I’ve been back for a while people still don’t fail to stare at us when we step out of the car, even though I think they are staring at the sexy boys coming out of the car and not me. A flock of girls came flying at the car once they noticed Deven and Dylan and Matt so I silently snuck out by them to find Emma.
Saying that all the attention Deven was getting from the female population wasn’t bothering me would be lying, but I know that he doesn’t like any of them and doesn’t show much interest in them. He’s just nice enough to them to not be rude but not giving them any invitations to become closer to him, that doesn’t mean that the girls stop trying though.
What surprised me a lot when I got back to school was that Dylan had given up his player status. He used to live to use girls and then throw them away, but now he doesn’t even try to hide his disgust in them.
When I finally met up with Emma she caught me staring at the boys and gave me a sympathetic look, “Don’t stress over that, girl, Deven’s not even flirting back, which would be pretty hard for any guy when that many girls are shoving their boobs in his face.”
“Ya I know, lets just forget about that now though.” I said thankfully but wanting to move on to a different topic.
“Ok well, did Deven ask you yet?”
“Ask me what?” I asked confused.
“Ask you to prom silly! It’s only next week so he’s got you ask you soon. This reminds me, we are going dress shopping after school tomorrow and finding us the perfect dresses. God, I can’t believe we haven’t got them yet.” Emma ranted enthusiastically.
“I cant go dress shopping if I don’t even know if im going yet.”
“What?! Why wouldn’t you go?”
“Well Deven hasn’t asked me and I don’t want to go to prom alone.”
“He’s going to ask you, don’t worry about that, he’s probably just nervous. But even if he doesn’t ask you, which he will, you’re coming. I don’t care if I have to drag that pretty little bum of yours all the way to the school myself.”
I one look at her unmovable face and I knew I and lost the battle, “Fine ok I’ll go, but if I’m stuck there all alone while you dance with your date for too long I’m leaving.”
“Ok but how do you know I even had a date? I could be going solo.”
“Emma, when was the last time you did ANYTHING solo? You have a date.”
“Ya I do” she replied cheekily, “He’s Kenny from my science class and he’s soooooo sweat and innocent.”
I scoffed, “He wont be so innocent after your done with him” I winked and Emma was about to retort back but the guys arrived, ending our conversation.
“You guys ready to get to class?” Matt asked. We nodded and Deven took my hand and walked me to class.
I really hope he asks me to prom.
