Capítulo 24: Chapter 24
Diana's P. O. V
I felt awful after everything and called Stephen, he needed to hear an apology from me for today's incident.
His phone rang for a while, and he didn't answer I knew he was upset with me. I literally called him a wuss and a pussy. I called again, he still didn't answer my call and a part of me started thinking that maybe he got kidnapped or something.
"Pick up..."I said while staring at the phone, a message popped up on the screen,"Stop calling" it read.
I stopped and tapped on the text, was he mad or what? I glidded my fingers across the screen and replied to him.
"Sorry, my bad"I texted.
"Why are you calling? I hate calls"he replied instantly, he was a quick texter. What should I say to sound really apologetic and not too desperate.
"Wanted to check in"I texted.
"Lies"he replied speedily, I groaned knowing fully well that he knew as much as I did that that wasn't the real reason behind my call.
"I was...am...ugh! Am sorry okay..."I texted and sent it. I waited a while for a response from him, tapping my fingers against my desk. My phone brightened up, I quickly picked it up and read through it.
"You know you can delete a text🤦🏻♂️"he said. I read the message and a smile spread across my face.
"Do you forgive me?"I asked.
"You're begging already and I can see how desperately you need me"he texted back, as quick as ever.
"Getting cocky much"I texted, and another text popped up on my phone.
"Hey😘😘😘☺️😘😘😘"June texted, "you seem happy"I replied. "Ace just got me our one year anniversary gift😍😍😍"she speedily texted. I guess speed texting runs in the family.
"A year? Fucking crazy"I said, I never thought that she and Ace had been together that long. He's the tall strong and silent type and she's more of the outspoken and out there type of girl.
"I just love him so much🥰🥰"she texted.
"You're right about the Makeover thing, I could use the extra boost of confidence"Stephen texted.
"Am so happy for you"I texted June, "you don't need to do it if you don't want to"I texted and laid against the chair.
Eight pm and my mum was still out, I got very nervous because I know that she usually is back home six thirty, even if she insists she's okay, I can't help but get worried.
"You two deserve each other"I texted June, she replied almost immediately.
"Just like you and Michael 😝😝"
"Haha...very funny"I shot at her, and rolled my eyes, as if?!
"I don't know you two tend to get lost in each other's eyes😏😏"she texted. Me? Get lost in those plain blue eyes...
As if on cue another text popped up on my phone, speak of the devil and he appears.
Michael: Hey can we talk?
I read that one line like a million times, trying to understand what exactly he wanted us to talk about.
Me: Sure Sure. About?
Michael: My sister.
Things just can't seem to die down can they?
Michael: I know...she messed up...I won't lie, just...know she isn't like that.
Me: Like what?
Michael: Self conceited...Selfish...Slutty....
Me: Like me.
Michael: The hell 🧐🤨
Me: That's what everyone at school seems to think about me anyways.
Michael: People don't think you're those things.
Me: You wouldn't know, you can't know.
Michael: What do you mean? Am confused.
Me: Forget.
Michael: I can't now, just say it.
Me: I don't want to. And yeah I get it, don't pick on your sister.
Michael: I didn't say...type...that's not what I meant.
Me: I think that's what you meant to say.
Michael: you're not being reasonable.
Me: Tell me something I don't know.
Michael: You're Selfish!
I stared at that text for a while, nothing followed the text, I switched off my phone and got under my covers.
I laid my head on a pillow and cuddled my favorite pillow, thinking about life. About what Mr Tyler said in his car, about my studies, my mum, what I said to Stephen and pretty much my life in general.
What was I doing so wrongly that I could never be the good guy in the story.
Michael's P. O. V
Me: You're selfish"
I didn't know when I pushed send to that text, and I wished that I could take it back. I wasn't thinking about it and I didn't want to think about it. Before I could say anything else I heard a knock on my door.
The door opened to reveal Pablo standing at my door his sleeves rolled up.
"Look what the cat dragged in"I muttered to myself, he walked inside and sat across me.
"I have something to talk to you about"he said. Oh really?
"I think I know it all already"I said, not caring to hear him talk about Diana and his relationship or how it blossomed behind my back.
"I wish you did"he said, "but you don't"he added sounding very stern and seriously.
"I haven't been totally honest with you"he said, "no kidding, when where you going to grow some balls and tell me the truth?"I asked.
"Now"he said.
"It's a little too late for that now"I said cutting him off, "you should have told me at least"I said. "I am telling you, you just have to listen"he said sounding nervy. I know Pablo, and I can tell he definitely wants to say something to me.
"It's about Diana, I can't bear to hear all the things people are saying about her"he started, I bit my lower lip and let him finish.
"And worse of all, senorita didn't even do anything wrong in the situation. She shouldn't have to suffer silently to cover up for me"he said.
Now I feel bad, I forced her into dating me, and now she's getting called names because of that.
"She's covering up for you both, not just for you"I said trying to throw some weight off my shoulder.
"No, she isn't, senorita is too nice to ever be at fault"he said. How good did she do him, he's taking her side on this, she must be skilled.
"Oh really? How do you know? You've recently just started to know each other. How can you guarantee that?"I asked, wanting to make him admit the hard truth.
"I know so because she's pretending to be my girlfriend!"he said.
Oh fuck! What the hell did I just hear him say! It can't be, that's not even possible.
"That's not true"I found myself saying, he said some inaudible things, "of course it is. Mike it is, she agreed to play along with my lie, just because I asked her to"he said.
"She's just not a funny and fun loving person, she's also very understanding, so understanding that she agreed to pretend for me"he said.
"Don't try to cover up..."
"Am not trying to do that and you know I'd man up and own up to my shortcomings instead of lie"he said.
"If that's true then you're lying to my face then. Why would you lie about dating her?"I asked, a little part of me hoping for just the truth.
"I love Makela okay, I fucking do. And I can't come out and say it because am frightened it will destroy what I have with her. And our friendship"he said almost yelling.
