Chapter 96

***Chrissy***

~
Ken and Ellen stare at me like they are staring at me like a ghost when I tell them that I’m seeing Dayle—and all along I’ve been seeing him.
“All the rumors...” I swallow up and continue, “are true! Dayle and I love each other and I just thought that you both should know—”
“Thought that we should know?” Ellen flares up instantly. “Aren't you even ashamed or something?”
“I can explain everything, at least let me explain—”
“There’s nothing to explain to Chriss,” Ken raises his voice at me too. Fuck, I saw this coming. “I've always known that you were fucking hiding something and you think that telling us about it NOW will change anything?” he scoffs disappointedly. “I always figured out that something was up—I fucking asked you a billion times to just say something but you didn't!”
“Fuck, Chriss, this is not you—he lured you into this, right? He fucking made you do this, didn't he? That god forsaken asshole made you do this—Chriss I know that you'd never do this! Dayle made you...” Ellen starts going off on me angrily
“No Elle, he didn't. He... He loves me more than you can imagine—”
“Can you just shut the fuck up for once with that shitty statement? Dayle doesn't love you—you’re misguided, Chriss—don’t be ridiculous right now!” Ken interrupts me furiously.
“You are gonna go over to him right now and end things before it gets extreme. You don't love him—you only think that you are in love with him, Chrissy!” Ken instructs
“No,”
“Oh no, you fucking will—”
“No I won't, you don't run my life Ken!”
“No I have to, you can't think straightforward because you are as good as fucking stupid and messed up! You know nothing,”
“I won't let you insult me Ken, take that shit back!” I scowl at him, “You don't know a thing about us and you won't let me explain either so you won't know a thing, okay?!” I add again. Ken laughs mockingly at me.
“You know what, it's clear to me that you don't wanna be helped and so I'm gonna go! I used to think that you were right about Max but no, you are the one who's wrong. He did nothing. I can't keep a fucking whore as a friend—fucking brother dick eater!” she cusses at me scurrying away.
I can't believe her right now, I know that she'd go off on me like that but saying that Max was right is not fair. What was he right about? And did she have to call me a fucking brother dick eater? Where's that shit even coming from? My fingers instinctively comb my hair. I turn to Ken who seems like he's cooling off even though he's staring daggers at me.
“Ken, would you at least let me explain things to you?” I ask him in hope that he'd just say ‘go ahead’ but he doesn't say that.
“Explain?” he scoffs, “Explain what? Did you think that I'd buy this shitty idea—you pose to hate Dayle or the things that he's been doing to you. If you were that horny then you'd have fucked Egan or Max or someone but not... Dayle! That's disgusting to do—you know that he's your brother—”
“You won't even let me speak, you are the disgusting one Ken, don't talk about me like that—”
“What do you call someone who fucks her brother? What's the right term for that? Tell me?” he snickers crossing his arms. “Henceforth, I can't be seen with you Chriss, I can't. We can't be friends anymore—leave us alone. I can't get that soiled!” he says to my face.
“Ken? Ken?” I watch him walk away. I'm not just calling him back for not just any reason but I'm calling him back because he's been like a big brother to me, I mean, Ken is someone I can't choose to ignore and now this is happening? My friends think that I'm a whore of some sort—they won't understand a thing. Tears hang in my eyes, it's hard to be in order but I'll try. I start walking back into the school’s building since we've been outside it. Once I'm in the hallway where some students are striding, Egan stands in my way. I didn't prepare to see him because I know about the outcome. I remain silent, clutching to my cell phone firmly while he pockets his hands with a devilish snicker on his face. Now I see the definition of his pseudonym by the way.
“You won't say a word, will you?” he asks, “You know, when the list got leaked I didn't even know why I tried to apologize to you, like, why am I apologizing when you are simply not on my list? I was stupid to think that you were a good girl ‘cause as it stands, you're just like us—even more.” he calmly say to me, it's not nice at all. “You've always fucked Dayle behind my back and you always pretended to hate him or not just buy his ideas, but little did I know that you are such a great actor.”
“Egan, I can explain! Let's just discuss somewhere,” I inquire
“No,” he yells at me, “we won't!” he adds as students start encircling us. Recording. Fuck. “You fucked Dayle,” he blurts out chuckling then he turns to the small crowd. “My sweet girlfriend fucked Dayle!” he laughs hysterically and then turns to me. “I begged you with everything to take me back but you never did and now I see why! If you really wanted to fuck someone, babe, you know that you could just call me and have a fucking good time!” he mocks at me and I hear the distant chatterings from the students there.
My knees are weak, I feel like I'm going to crash anytime soon.
Dayle prepared me for this but I don't think that I can keep up with being strong. I can't. Egan is making a joke out of me, I didn't think he'd ridicule me like this. He has the right to be angry but did he have to do this to me like he never loved me?
“Now tell me, what's the difference between a hungry ass bitch and... you? I need to know!” he says
His gaze plunges my skin with so much intimidation, how could he ask me that? I want to bury myself but I can't, no one is taking me out of this situation either. Where's Dayle?
I hear laughters and mutterings coming from all over the area while Egan raises his brows at me.
“Why silent? I'm just SO confused, my love! Can you tell me why?” he asks again mockingly and I burst into tears, sobbing silent. I can't control the streams of tears rolling down my cheeks. I failed to hold on.
Egan places his hand on my cheeks and snickers.
“You look very pretty with those tears baby, you are gorgeous baby but you don't have to put up an act, I'm not the bad guy—Dayle is!”
“Take your hands off her!”
I hear Dayle’s voice interrupt, for some reasons, I'm leaping excitedly inside of me, I feel very relieved. Egan turns to Dayle.
“Really? Oh! Did you wanna fuck her?” Egan mocks Dayle. Dayle is pressing down his anger, he's fisting but he's trying to hold the tantrum.
“Chriss, c’mon!” Dayle says to me but his gaze is fixed on Egan. “Chriss, come over!”
He says again when he glimpses that I haven’t moved a skin yet.
“You did not answer, did you wanna fuck her again? In front of us?” Egan nonchalantly asks again and the crowd busts into laughter. Dayle walks up to me and takes me by the hand, making sure that our eyes maintain contact—he knows that I'm utterly out of my control. I can't fight as hard as I should.
“Trust me, Chriss!” he assures me again and I nod lightly as we start walking off.
“Are you guys... really seeing each other?” a girl’s voice props up causing me to halt but Dayle insists that we keep going.
“Come on Head boy, give an answer. If you wouldn’t answer mine then be a lot more diplomatic to answer hers!” Egan snaps. I know that he's trying to provoke Dayle into doing something silly which would affect his privileges. We add a step ahead but Egan interrupts. “What does she taste like? I mean... Chrissy? You never posted that up!”
Dayle scurries towards Egan to punch his face but I hold his arm—even if I almost crumble to the ground. Dayle takes hold of me instead, he rather embraces me stroking my back slightly. I didn't think he'd do that.
“I'm sorry! Are you okay?” he asks me and I nod a yes.
“Well. Well. Well. Dayle. Chriss. Awesome. So everything I hear is true? Fucking confirmed now.” I hear another blurt out clapping lazily from behind us as we turn to her. It's Molly.
Dayle remains silent, he takes me by the hand compelling us to leave the area but Molly steps in our way crossing her arms with an impish smile.
“How could you do this to me? Was it the reason why I couldn't have your attention despite everything you did to me? You moved on with HER... I don't want to start digging up your relationship ties but...” she pauses and turns to me, “Chriss, I didn't know that you are such a fraud, a dirty bitch at that!” she mocks
“Stop telling her THAT, you know that you are not any better! Never been!” Dayle grimaces.
She scoffs rolling her eyes. “Yeah. Wait until everyone finds out about your dirty little secret! I swear to you Dayle, I'll ruin your fucking life and as for you, Chriss,” she turns to me again. “I’m fucking disappointed!”
“Let's go, Chriss!”
Dayle finally drags me out of the place, we didn't halt until we reach the car. Bobby, the chauffeur, and another guard are there. Dayle places a kiss on my forehead before we enter the car.
He isn't planning on hiding our affair anymore, I feel a certain level of relief.
