Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

Alone. That’s how I felt as I sat on the swing. My feet had  brought me to the park, not wanting to go home yet. 

I knew that I had been skipping school a lot more  frequently now and was afraid that dad would find out.  He’d throw a fit and I would want to avoid that. 

I sighed softly, looking around the empty park. The gra*s  was a luscious green with tiny wildflowers that  occasionally got stomped on by animals and people  walking around.

It has been so long since I’ve been here. The quietness  and the soft breeze as it pushed back my tresses relaxed  me. 

My bag rests atop my thighs as my fingers wrap around  the rope of the swing. I wanted to bask in the quietness.  I needed it. 

I lift my head and closed my eyes as a tiny smile replaced  the frown. The sun beat down on my face rea*suring me  that everything would be okay. 

The more time flew the more I began to feel regret for  treating Blake the way I did. I should’ve listened to him  and let him explain. I knew Stacy was a conniving bitch  to begin with and I fell right into her trap. 

I needed to go and apologize to Blake for embarra*sing  him in the cafeteria. It was wrong of me and uncalled for. 

Damn it, I love the fool and would not want to lose him. I  overreacted and went too far. He must think that I broke  things off. 

I don’t know how long I’ve been here but it must’ve been  hours. The park was already starting to fill up with  people. Their curious gazes flickering to me occasionally. 

They must be thinking that I was crazy. My hair a mess  from being tugged at and eyes red from crying. 

I chew my bottom lip as I fumble with the zipper of the  bag. Grasping my phone I checked the time.The first  thing I notice is the many missed calls I had received  from Blake and Ryan. 

I frowned. I must’ve put it on silent without even  knowing. I read the time. Two thirty. Maybe I should  start walking home now. It is a little bit of a distance  from here, probably twenty minutes on foot. 

I breathed out a sigh and pushed the phone back in my  bag.I will call them when I get home, they must be  worried.
