Haiden Cross Jesus when did she get so strong? I was struggling to pull her away and that was saying something. "You're a crazy bitch!" Gwen's irritating scream made me clench my teeth and I pondered if to let Arabella go and have her shut her up. But the thought of Arabella getting into trouble made me rethink. "You haven't seen crazy yet, you backstabbing slut!" Bella sneered and inwardly I was chuckling yet confused by their sudden hostility. It was no secret that Gwen wasn't my favorite person on the planet but she was Arabella's best friend. It was hard to see the two not friendly and fighting like enemies. What the hell did I miss? Then a sudden thought crept into my mind. It couldn't be that, could it? Did Arabella find out? Did she finally find out? I hissed lowly when Bella's nails dig into my skin. Fuck. If she didn't stop now, I was afraid my arm would be bloody. "Bella. Bella, baby calm down." I wince. Drawing my lips to her ear I whispered in a plea while drawing her away further from the bitch. "Please, calm down." When she seems to finally relax in my hold, I turn her around and peer into her furious gaze. Her body may have relaxed but the anger was still present in her eyes. Whatever was happening between the two best friends wasn't anything little to have her like this. She must've found out, there's no other explanation for her sudden burst of anger. I reach up to hold her cheek tenderly, hoping my touch can relax her even more. "What happened?" I asked, needing to be sure it was what I was actually thinking. Looking behind her to look at Gwen, I couldn't help but be disgusted. She was a bitch for doing this to Bella. But I couldn't tell Bella seeing that I would've been the cause of their ruined friendship. They've been friends for so long that I didn't want to be the cause of bringing pain to her and her family. "She slept with my dad Haiden." Fuck, so she did find out. Who told her?I couldn't help but feel guilty for not telling her myself. But if I ruined her friendship with that bitch, she maybe would've resented me. She'd resent me for ruining her family. I didn't want to take that chance. *flashback* She looks so good in yellow. And her eyes, God her eyes. Why did God have to create and carve her so perfectly? Was it bad that I wanted her all to myself? Was this a toxic way of thinking? Fuck I didn't care. I could imagine plenty of ways to bring pleasure to that sexy body she tries to hide- The sound of a chair scooting over to me and the strong scent of floral made me reluctantly remove my eyes off Bella. But I regret it instantly when my eyes settle on that bitch of a best friend of hers. Her smiling face made me want to throw my lunch at her but I refrain, not wanting Bella to hate me. What the fuck did she want? Her blue eyes peered up at me nervously and I clenched my jaw in irritation. If I just 'accidentally' pour my juice over her head, would Arabella hate me? "Hey Haiden," Gwen whispered, smiling as she batted her lashes. Did she have an eye problem? I grunted annoyed that she was disturbing my lunch and my unhealthy obsession with gawking at Arabella. But could you really blame me? She was all I've ever wanted yet so far out of reach. Being with her was impossible. So gawking was really all I could do. And that Gwen girl was preventing me to. "You look handsome today," Gwen lifted a finger and pushed some of her blonde tresses behind her ear. Honestly was this her way of flirting with me? She had some nerve trying to hit on me while I knew what kind of a slut she really could be. But Bella didn't know, and this wasn't my secret for me to tell. It'll only hurt her and I refuse to be the reason to cause her any sort of pain. My irritation was growing as Gwen continued with her dumb and annoying flirting. Why couldn't she get a hint that I wasn't affected by her mediocre flirting skills? Honestly, how did this girl get any dick? She flips her hair over her shoulder. " I was thinking, maybe I could come to your place tonight since I'm free," She giggles softly and my skin crawls when she reaches for my hands. Okay, I was done playing nice. I didn't want her anywhere near me any longer. I was trying to be patient but she didn't seem to want to leave anytime soon. I shocked her when I leaned towards her and whispered in her ear. "You have some nerve trying to get me into your bed you fucking slut. I saw you with Arabella's dad- I draw my eyes to Arabella. "I'm guessing she doesn't even know that her so-called best friend is sleeping with her dad huh? You're no friend but a damn vulture. Now get the fuck away from me." I hissed lowly hoping I could get through her thick skull. You'll have to be pretty dumb and inhumane to want to hurt someone like Arabella. Gwen was both. I could feel her body turn rigid after my words seem to enter her ear. I smirked and pull away from her, my nose itchy from her strong scent of floral. Did this girl bathe in perfume before coming here? As if her ass was suddenly lit by fire, Gwen rose from the chair with a loud piercing screech that silence the entire cafeteria. I must've shocked her. She thought she was being sleek while sleeping with Mr. Rivera. But I had caught them one of the many days I decided to stay home from school. Arabella had already left and her mother as well. I was sure that maid of theirs wasn't there then too, perhaps had an off day. It was two years ago so I didn't remember everything. But I do remember Gwen hopping out of her car and Mr. Rivera opening the door for her. What had stunned me was that when she reached him, instead of being greeted normally, Mr. Rivera ushered her inside almost urgently with his hand on her ass. If this was just my mind playing tricks on me, then she confirmed it by her over-dramatic actions now. She really was fucking Mr. Rivera. What a nasty bitch. "Dude, did you seriously let the hottest girl in school go?" Nile asked. I grunted. "If you want her go ahead, heard she's easy. Besides someone else has my attention." * Bella suddenly walks out of my arms and I swore I literally felt my heart break when she looked at me in betrayal. "You knew." She accused, shaking her head in disbelief. I take a step towards her, not wanting her out of my arms. "Bella." I reach out for her but she slaps my hand away. The air in my lungs gets stuck as my stomach twisted with dread. This wasn't what I wanted. I couldn't lose her because of this. I should've told her. I should've fucking told her when I had the chance. "No, don't touch me." She snaps lowly.No, I can't lose her. Not this way. Not this fucking way. "Bella please-" My voice cracks and my heart pinches painfully when she shakes her head. "There she goes again making it all about her. Self-absorbed bitch." Gwen sneered. This was the bitch's fault. If she kept her legs shut for once in her life she wouldn't be losing a friend and I wouldn't be losing my girl. Bella turns around but the intercom buzzes. "Arabella and Gweneth to the principal's office now." I needed to fix this. I couldn't lose her. "Bella- Her words made my world shatter. My future shattered, and the vision I had for us shattered. "Stay away from me Haiden." Never would I have ever imagined that those words would be more painful than a stab to the heart.
