Chapter 12

"I told you I was sorry. Why can't you just forgive me? I miss you, Emily." He said, frustration in his voice. Why does he think that it's that easy to forgive him? He can't expect me to forget what he did. To trust him again. No. He may have took my pride and dignity by using me and taking me along for a joy ride, but he won't take my self respect. "Logan, I'm not going to forgive you. You've made your choice and now I've made mine." I said. "And that choice is Tyler?" He said, his voice getting hard. "He's going to leave you eventually because you weren't putting out for me, so why would you do it for him?" Before I could say anything, someone stepped beside me and put their arms around my waist. "What's going on here, babe?" Logan shifted his gaze to Tyler, who had spoken and then his gaze fell to his hands around my waist. His eyes turned dark with anger. He looked at Tyler and was about to say something, but deciding against it, he said instead. "Nothing. Nothing at all." He looked at me and said. "You are making a very big mistake, Emily. I will get you back." He then walked away without saying anything else. When he was gone, Tyler turned to me. "Your ex boyfriend is an ass. What did you see in him anyway?" I shook my head. "Believe me, he wasn't always like that." "Right." He said, before adding. "Well, you know him best." I was about to comment, when I spotted Tori over his shoulder. "Hold up, I'll be right back." I walked over to Tori, who was heading in my direction. "Hey Tori, are you heading home?" She shook her head. "No. I'm going to the mall to buy my Halloween costume." She answered. "Great. I can come with you if you want." I offered. "Are you kidding me? So that you can see my outfit? I don't think so." She wriggled her eyebrows, her eyes shinning with excitement. "I want our outfits to be a surprise to each other." I laughed. "That's a great idea. Bye then." "Bye." I turned and walked back to my locker, but Tyler wasn't there. Where did he go? Sighing, I began to walk out the school's building in search of Tyler. When I reach the parking lot, I searched for his car. His car was there, so at least he wasn't foolish enough to leave me. I wish I could just go home, but a lot of students were lounging around school and they would definitely find it weird if I leave school on foot, if Tyler was still here. Deciding to check the place where he'd most likely be, I head in the direction of the back of the school. When I turned the corner and was at the back of the school, I saw that I was right. Tyler was at the back of the school with Seth and of course, they were smoking. I walked in the direction towards them. When I reached them, I fanned the cloud of smoke that was emitting from their cigarettes. "Are you guys crazy?" I asked, still fanning my hands and coughing a little. "You guys are literally asking for cancer. Don't you know that smoking is bad for you?" "Yeah, but it also makes you feel good." Seth responded, blowing out a puff of smoke as he did so. I rolled my eyes. So irresponsible. "You're both brainless morons." "You want to know what else makes me feel good?" Tyler cut in, winking at me. "Um...no. I don't want to hear about your disgusting escapades." I said, wrinkling up my face in disgust and Tyler laughed. "Now, put those out and let's go." Tyler mock bow. "As you wish, m'lady." Suppressing the urge to roll my eyes a second time, I turned away from them and walked away. Why did I have to be stuck with these guys? The one thing I love about Fridays is that it was the day that students would leave school rather than hang around. They would either go shopping, to Starbucks or just go somewhere to hang out and celebrate the fact that it was the weekend. That fact came quiet clear as soon as I stepped into the school's library. There was only a handful of students in here. Normally, it would be packed with students doing homework, but they knew that they have the entire week for homework, so not much students stayed over. The students that were in here were either reading a book or a few book worms, studying. I, on the other hand, was coming up here to pass time. Today was the day that Sarah and I were going shopping. I was looking forward to spending time with her and seeing what kind of person she was. I actually felt bad that it took a year for us to do something like this. Sarah told me that she was going to pick me up from school at 3:30. I had an hour to spare, so I decided to go up to the library to wait. I walk over to the reading books section and took up a book to read. The book that I chose was Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. This was one of my favourite books, so I know it will help me pass the time. I took a seat at a table by myself and began to read. A few minutes later, I was so engaged in the book that I did not notice someone standing in front of me. The person was there for a few minutes, until I heard my name loudly. "Emily!" I was pulled from the book and I looked up instantly. My eyes widen in surprise as I saw Tyler standing in front of me with an amused look on his face. "Wow, you sure do block out when you are reading. I've been clearing my throat and calling your name for the pass two minutes."
