True Love - Mackenzie Feit (ebook reader with highlighter TXT) 📗

so hopefully no one here remembers us"

"That would just ruin the whole thing"

"Well maybe not the whole thing just the beginning, until we get our food"

"Yes of course" We both burst out laughing 

When we got through the door, we were hit with the delicious smell of the French bread and the Italian food... they basically had a food from all over the world, we went to the table we always sat at and I traced the carving mom did in the corner of the table... it was of a butterfly with my name at the top

"You remember why she did that?"

"Of course, I love butterflies so she carved one and put my name at the top so we would always remember which table to sit at"

"Yeah dad told her not to do it, but she did it anyway"

"Haha yeah" My eyes started to sting with tears

"I miss them too Ems"

"We don't have a family anymore"

"Maybe not a whole family, but we still have each other" He said trying to make me feel better

"It would be so much better if we could come home to our house with someone to look forward to when we got home like all the other families"

"Why do you want to be like all the other families?"

"Because they can brag about having loving parents, but all I can brag about is having a loving brother"

"Hey, I'm super cool, so you can have bragging rights about having the coolest brother in the world"

"Hehe" 

"There's the award-winning smile I wanted to see"

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"Always being there for me"

"It's what I do" He said and did the most ridiculous dance

"Hahaha, oh my god, never do that again, haha"

He laughed with me, then we ordered, ate and talked for a while until everything changed when we were about to leave and a random stranger said our names like he'd known us forever

"Isaiah and Emma Thompson, it's been so long"

"Um do we know you?" Isaiah said

"Oh my bad, my name is Gregory Johnson" the man said

"Oh hello Mr. Johnson" Isaiah said but I was still way confused as to who this man was

"Please call me Greg"

"Oh of course"

"Um Issac?" I asked 

"Oh I'm sorry Ems, this is was a close friend of our fathers"

"Really?"

"Yes, you were to little to remember him though"

"Oh ok, then hello um..."

"Greg, call me Greg"

"Hello greg"

"Hello Emma"

I was starting to get scared because he was staring at me like he was expecting me to say something else and I was started to fidget

"You guys have grown so much over the years" He said

"Yeah that's what time does to people" Isaiah said

Gregory looked at me again but I didn't want to say anything else, I just moved a little closer to Issac

"Um... we... uh have to go" I said more so to my brother than to Gregory

"Oh yeah, you have to go back to school, sorry little sis, almost forgot"

"It's fine, I hate that place anyway"

"Yeah I know, I hate it to"

"I'll talk to you guys later"

"Ok bye Greg" Issac said

"Bye Gregory"

"Bye Emma"

My brother opened the door for me and as I went out I could feel Gregory's eyes on me

I turned around and waited for my brother

"Do I have to go back?"

"Yes, you know that"

"Dammit"

"Language sis"

"Sorry bro" 

We finally made it to the car and as I got in I looked at the resturant door and Gregory was still watching me, but my brother didn't notice

Ewww gross

My brother pulled out of the parking space and that's when I finally relaxed 

"Hey what's wrong?" My brother asked 

"Nothing, just tensed that I have to go back to that hell hole"

"Yeah I know, torturous but you have 5 more years of little kid school then we can go to the same college"

 "Can't wait" 

We turned on the radio and just listened to it until we got back to school

I got out and Issac followed

"Issac, what are you doing?"

"Saying goodbye to my sister properly"

"Haha, you don't have to, you'll be late for your class"

"It's worth it if I get to say goodbye to my favorite sis"

"Haha I'm your only sis, but if it will get you to go back to school then come here" I said and opened my arms, he came into my arms and nearly killed me with how strong he is

"Losing... air... can't... breath"

"Oops sorry little sis" He said laughing

"You are a football player, I'm not" I held up my arms "No muscles" I pulled his arm up "See muscles"

"Haha, I see" He said laughing 

"Ok now you have to go"

"You'll be at the game tonight right?"

"Of course, I want to support my big bro"

"Bye little sis"

"Bye" I said then watched him get in his car and leave, then I went to my class 

 

(Ashton's POV)

I looked everyehere for her during lunch, but she wasn't anywhere so I went to the only person I thought would know where she would be.

"Hey" I said as soon as I found him

"What's up?"

"Do you know where Emma is?"

"No, why would I?"

"Because you guys are dating"

"No we aren't"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean me and Emma aren't a thing anymore"

"But you guys were coming up on your 6th month anniversary"

"Yeah then I blew it"

"How?"

"She found out about the bet"

"What bet?"

"I made a bet with some of my friends 6 months ago that I could stay in a relationship with Emma Thompson for a whole 6 months amd if I won, I would get 2 grand"

"You bastard" I seethed and punched him

"I probably deserve that, but let me explain"

"No you definitely deserved that and I won't let you explain because you broke my best friends heart" I punched him again

"I love her man"

I punched him again 

"If you loved her, you wouldn't have bet on her"

"Ok... ok... at first I was only doing it for the money, but-"

I punched him as hard as I could

"But as I spent more time with her-"

I just kept punching him

"I started developing feelings for her-"

I didn't want to hear any of this

"And soon I was completely in love with her"

I kicked him in the ribs

"Stop beating me up, I told you the whole story"

"Yeah how you used my best friend and then you told her the truth after you basically won the bet and then what you just walk away with a fully funtional heart while she walks away with a heart that's in a billion tiny pieces"

"No, how I used her at first and then fell for her and I'll be the one walking away with a heart that's in  a billion tiny pieces"

"I don't believe you"

"Well then don't but it's the truth"

"Well then have you seen her yet today?"

"No I've been so down in the dumps to even look up from the floor"

"Well she's wearing black and some white"

"Why?"

"Because of you"

"Well if she would talk to me then I might be able to fix that, but she's pissed at me so she won't talk to me"

"Then who will she talk to?"

We looked at each other getting the same idea at the same time, a little weird but whatever

"Her brother"

We went to the high school in search of Isaiah

 

(Isaiah's POV)

 

I went to my locker and started thinking... something is wrong with Emma, ever since we met Greg she's been acting really weird. First she's heartbroken and I don't know the whole reason for that, then she's fidgety when we meet Gregory, what other emotion can she possibly have in a day? Just then 2 of the people I'm not a fan of came up to me, great

"Ok so I know your not a fan of me-"

"Or me"

"But where is Emma?"

"Yeah we need to find her and talk to her"

"And what makes you think I know where she is?"

"Because you're her brother and she wouldn't worry you with not telling you everything"

"And because you are the closest one to her and she trusts you"

"Ok I do know where she is but what makes you think I want to help the 2 guys that keep hurting my sister's heart?"

"Well we don't think you would help us, but we want to explain to her why we did what we did... well why I did it" 

"Yeah and I just want to confess my feelings for her"

"Ok then let me rephrase that... No" I said and walked away

 

(Emma's POV)

 

I made it through most of my classes without getting annoyed by anyone, I guess that's a plus. 

"Hey"

Dammit

"Go away"

"Please let us explain"

"No"

"but-"

"You both shattered my heart... you destroyed my trust... you are both assholes"

"Emma I-"

"Dont... just dont"

"But I-"

"No, don't talk to me, don't look at me, and both of you can get rid of my number beacause neither of you will be talking to me ever again, got it?"

I looked at them to make sure they were listening

"Y...Yes" Caleb said

"No" Ashton said

"What do you mean 'No'?"

"I mean no, I won't get rid of your number, I will look at you, and I will talk to you"

"Why?"

"Because you are my world...without you I can not and will not go on"

"I'm sure you can go on without me, you'll just choose not to"

"Exactly"

I looked at him, looking for something that would indicate he was lying, but I couldn't find anything so I just made something up to get out of here

"I have to get to class, leave me alone, both of you"

 I looked at Ashton longer than I looked at Caleb because I knew he would be the one to annoy me the most

"Fine, but no promises" Ashton said

 "Whatever" I said then walked to my math class

Chapter 10- Unbelievable

 Math Class

(Emma's POV)

 

I tried to focus on the math equation the teacher gave us but it's kind of hard to do that with a pair of eyes burning a hole in the back of your head. I turned around and gave Ashton a look that said 'You better stop staring at me or there will be trouble' his eyes told me he got it but he wasn't going to listen. I couldn't take it anymore, I got up and just before I got to the door the stupid teacher had to speak to me.

"Ms Thompson, where do you think you are going in the middle of class?"

"Anywhere but here" I replyed back

"You can't go anywhere until you finish this equation"

I looked at the board... 1,000,000 times 3 divided by 9 plus 4, I walked up to the board and wrote the answer... 333,337.333333333333333. Then before he could say anything I walked out of the classroom and down the hall to the school doors.

"Where are you going" A familar low male voice said

"On an adventure" I said sarcastically

"O really now?"

"Yeah really"

"Well then maybe I'll come with you" He said

"I prefer to go alone, thank you"

"But I prefer to come with" He said

I turned around to look him in the eyes and when I did...

"T..tyler"

"Finally I get to see those beautiful green eyes of yours" He said

"N..no"

"No what?"

"N..no my eyes are...aren't beautiful, b...but you know whose are... Ally's"

"Really?"

"Y..yes"

"I think they are just ordinary"

"I... I have t..to go" I said trying to get away

"Whoa where's the fire, I want to get to know you a little bit"

"Um m..my favoite color is blue, m..my eye color is green, my mother's name was violet, my best friend was Ally and I am about to leave, there y..you know a little bit about me" I said and walked out the
