Him and I

VII

His lips met mine.

I softly pulled away and his eyes lowered in embarrassment. "Shit, I'm sorry."

I cleared my throat. "Let's just go, alright?"

He nodded, not meeting my eyes. I got out money and put it on the table as I got up. We silently made our way out of the mall, getting to his car. "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done that." He said and I looked outside as he drove his car out of the parking lot. "You're dating Hailey, Carter, I can't-"

"We're not dating." He said and I took a deep breath. "Just forget it." I said and he shot me a glance, pain showing in his eyes. "I just-"

"It's okay, just don't do it again."

"I just thought because we-"

"Hooked up you could do it again? Carter, that was a one time thing, nothing more. We broke up almost three years ago, you broke up with me." I said and he scoffed. "You think I wanna date you again? I don't."

"Good, cause I don't wanna date you ever again either." I said and he rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure."

"What? You're the one that kissed me last time and now, this is not my fault." I said and he looked at me. "Oh, really? I recall you being the one pulling off my pants and giving me a blowjob."

"So what? If you didn't want me to do that, you could've told me to back off. You seemed to be quite enjoying it." I hissed and licked his lips. "You think-"

"Just fuck off Carter!" I shouted. "I only went to you cause Joey fucked me over, that's it. A rebound, that's what you were."

He parked the car at the side of the road and I gaped at him. "What are you doing?"

"You drive me fucking insane, goddammit!" He yelled. "One moment you're eating pizza with me, next you're telling me I'm a rebound, you're totally out of your mind. This is exactly why I broke it off, you're a fucking crazy bitch!"

"I'm crazy? I'm crazy?" I asked. "You broke up with me and then you come over to fuck me and now you do it again! What do you want from me, Carter?" I yelled and he looked at me. "I don't fucking want anything from you!"

I pushed open the car door and started walking back to my house. "Yeah, go ahead, run!" He shouted after me. "Fuck you, Carter!"

I took deep breaths, trying to contain as calm as I could, not wanting to lose my temper.

After an hour or so of walking I still wasn't home. He tried to get me back in the car, but I flipped him off.

"Willow?"

I looked to my left and Isaac was in his car with Quinty. "What?" I hissed and he put his hands up in defence. "What are you doing here? You live at the other side of the town." Quinty stated and I took a deep breath. "Oh, really? I didn't know." I sarcastically said. "Want a lift?" Isaac asked.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Eight fifty."

"Shit." I muttered and got out my phone. "Ah, for fuck's sake, of course you died."

"So, lift?" Isaac asked and I slowly nodded. "Thank you." I said and got into the backseat of his car. "What are you guys doing here so late?" I asked and Isaac started driving. "Hanging out." Quinty answered my question. "Great." I muttered.

"What were you doing here all alone?" Isaac asked as he took a turn. "I was hanging out with Carter, but things got a little tense after he ki- uhm, doesn't matter." I said, realising if I told Quiny he kissed me, I was gonna get in trouble with Hailey.
