Anyway i hope you like this new chapter... let me know what you think! What happened in Highschool Chapter 10 Everything was going great. Kurt was talking to Michael and his problems, Aaron was fantastic and I actually had a love life, a definant plus. I guess that's why when the preverbal shit hit the fan I wasn't expecting it. It started on Thursday night when Kurt turned up on my doorstep with a backpack, a bloody nose and a purple eye. Mum didn't say anything about police, this had happened before and she knew Kurt would refuse to press charges. He sat on the couch for ages with mum hugging him and whispering comfort. I watched nervously from the doorway. Things seemed to be getting really bad again at his place again. Mum told him that he could stay as long as he wanted. Finally Kurt mentioned that he just wanted to head to bed so I took him through to my room and pulled out the mattress under my bed, kicking clothes out of the way to make space. An hour or so later as we lay in the dark Hurt whispered "Matt, do you think I can sleep in your bed tonight? Nothing dodgy." I agreed instantly as this is what we had done before when Kurt's dad went mental. He crawled in with me and we snuggled together. "Thanks Matt." We both drifted off a few minutes later. I woke up when I heard a loud exclamation. Kurt was spooned behind me and as I moved my sleepy eyes towards the door I saw a red faced furious Aaron. That woke me up fast. Shit. "Aaron?" "What the fuck is going on? I came to surprise you with a lift but it looks like you surprised me. Bastard. Have a nice life Matt!" Aaron shouted at me, startling Kurt awake. "Wait! What the fuck? Nothing is going on!" I tried to argue with him but he just turned and left. Shit this was bad. I knew Aaron was possessive enough as it was but to see me in bed with someone else no matter how innocent^Å fuck. I ran to the door in my boxers to see him speed off out of the driveway. Shit shit. School was awful. Kurt was so apologetic it was getting annoying and Aaron refused to even talk to me. I was getting frantic now, if he would just listen to me. By the end of the day however my emotions had started to turn. Aaron had refused to even acknowledge my presence, which at first had upset me, but after repeated attempts to explain my innocent I became angry. If the bastard couldn't even listen to me for five minutes then what the hell was I doing with the selfish and childish prick anyway? My anger turned into resentment and then pride. He was in the wrong now, he was acting like he was five by giving me the cold shoulder. I wasn't going to attempt to apologize or explain anymore. He'd had his chance. Strangely this conclusion only made me feel good for the brief moment it took me to justify it then I was left with a painful twisting feeling in my stomach. So did this mean we were over? I had to talk to someone about it and chose Abby to be that victim. I ranted at her for about fifteen minutes before she told me to stop because I was repeating myself and her head was hurting. "Jesus. You two sound like a couple of girls. Just tell him." "I cant!" I wailed for the umpteenth time. "I tried like a million times and he ignored me! He wont talk to me!" Abby shook her head. "Well write him a letter or send him a text! I don't know but you need to explain it." I frowned. This was not what I wanted to hear. "If he cant trust me then why he hell are we together?" Abby sighed. "Its called taking the high road Matt. Be the mature one." Nope. Not what I wanted to hear again. "No Abby that's called begging and humiliation. When he comes to his senses then maybe I'll talk to him." Abby just stared at me. "It's only going to hurt you." At home I raided the junk under my bed and found the weed I had bought off Mick and proceeded to roll a massive spliff. Kurt came home half way through and watched me silently and a bit warily as we passed it back and forth. "So did you talk with Aaron?" "No." He didn't say anything else about Aaron after that. We got completely stoned and lay on my bedroom floor talking about stupid random things like what aliens would really look like if they came to earth and what it would be like to live a day in the life of a goat. When mum got home we ran frantically around opening my window and spraying the shit out of my room with deodorant. Then after quickly putting a few drops of clear-eyes in our eyes to make them less red, we wandered out to see what mum was up to. The next day at school was no better. Aaron wasn't sitting with us anymore and was hanging out with Jeff and his mates. That kinda hurt a bit more than I was ready to admit. He was still steadfastly refusing to meet my eyes and I could feel my bitterness towards him increasing. Kurt was looking at me like I might start crying any moment and Abby was giving me little frowns. When the guys asked where Aaron was I just snorted. "With his friends." "You guys fighting?" Jay asked quizzically. I just nodded abruptly and they all seemed to realize that I didn't want to go into it. Friday night mum started asking where Aaron was and I just snapped and yelled at her. I spent most of the weekend in my room smoking weed telling myself I didn't care about that stupid selfish bastard and wondering if you could be broken up if no one had actually said so. Well its not like he could say so especially since he was giving me the complete cold shoulder. Kurt popped in and out of the room giving me worried looks and bringing me food. I was dreading Monday and it soon became worse than I expected. At recess I was walking through the quad when I saw Aaron sitting there holding hands with a girl. Not just any girl either. He was holding hands with Reneé, one of my oldest friends. They looked in my direction. Reneé smiled and waved while Aaron had the grace to look ashamed. If he was trying to piss me off it was working. * * * * * * * * * * * * Hey guys sorry about this chapter... i had some anger i had to work out and i took it out on my characters.... just dont hate Aaron yet!
