Kierra’s Pov
If there was any word to describe this moment right now it would be extremely awkward and so do tensed Xander held me firmly by my waist so trying to get out of his grip would be of no use I really could not help but shiver at our closeness I doubt we’ve ever been the close I sincerely can’t even remember the last time we’ve hugged tightly and now he’s so close to me that I could enjoy the scent of his cologne
“Shut up you you’re supposed to be mad at him… My subconscious screamed as I was snapped back into reality as I tried to get out of his grip which only made him tighten it more
“Oh hey Thompson… Seth said grinning
“She’s off limits… Xander said coldly cutting him off
“I really don’t get why you’re so aggressive you know it was just a hug it’s not like we were making out of something… Seth said smirking
“You a$$ hole ? I’ve made myself clear stay the hell away from her
“Oh really now and if I don’t… Seth said glaring
“I’ll beat you to a pulp she’s off limits
“Let go of me Xander… I screamed at him
“No you’re gonna keep shut you have no idea how much of a jerk he really is kierra I’m doing what’s best for you so stay put… He said firmly
“Why don’t you let kierra decide who she wants to be with Huh
“I won’t ever let her make the mistake of falling for your tricks Seth stay the hell Away from her I won’t repeat it twice the next time I swear I’ll beat you up
“Let go of me Xandrr… I screamed pushing him off
“Let’s get things straight OK I’m not your sister I’m not your fricking girlfriend Xander Thompson you have no right to dictate to me what I can and cannot do you are not the fricking boss of me so don’t act like it you’re the unwanted one here so just leave Xander go away… I screamed taking Seth’s hand as he stared at our linked hands
“Kierra you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into Seth’s isn’t what you think he is…He sad sadly trying to take my hand
“Just go Xander go back to your girlfriend she must be waiting for you……I said slapping his hands off of me
“Alright I’ll go kierra but this is not over it’s not…He said before leaving as tears threatened to fall from my eyes but I was able to blinked them right back up
“You’re not gonna cry kierra you’re not gonna cry you’re not gonna cry… I kept muttering to myself but it was too late as a tear rolled down my cheeks until I couldn’t help but cry …
“Hey it’s okay he’s just..
“I just want to be alone right now Seth… I said sniffling
“That’s okay I understand I’ll see you later kierra… He said hugging me lightly before leaving as I made my way to the restroom making sure it was empty before crouching to the ground as the tears spilled from my eyes
I knew very much I had hurt him badly just like how I felt when he choose Jennifer over me I’m sure that’s how he must be feeling right now as I choose Seth over him but sadly I had to do it or else I was pretty sure I was gonna end up confessing my undying love for him which wouldn’t do both of us any good at all
“I’m so so sorry Xander… I thought as my whole body trembled as I cried before the door creaked up
“Girly… Maya said crouching down as I hugged her tightly
“I hurt him Maya I hurt him so badly he’s gonna hate me… I said sobbing
“He won’t hate you he can’t girl it’s okay you promised yourself you won’t cry..
“I know I know but I just can’t help it I can’t it just hurts so badly… I said sobbing hard as the tears fell like it was raining
“Hey look at me OK just look at me Xander look terrible when he got back to the table which means he’s sad to OK girl he can’t hate you and he won’t it’ll be alright just stop crying you’re making me feel sad… Maya said as we hugged
“Alright alright I won’t cry anymore… I said trying to smile
“Good OK because if you did I’ll be forced to slap you really tightly…..She said as I chuckled lightly
“Umm Maya I don’t think I want to go back to our table
“I understand common let’s just head to class it won’t hurt to get there a bit early right… She said helping me up as we left the restroom

Lunch break was over and classes went past like a blur teaches expecting me to pay hundred percent attention to them when all my focus was on Xander and how he must be feeling right now
I felt extremely guilty about how I treated him I guess I was just angry that moment and I let my emotions cloud my judgement and I hurt him badly I just hope he doesn’t hate me for it because I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to live with myself if he does I’ll just be broken apart completely that’s for sure… I thought as the bell was rung signifying school was over for that day
Lockers were slammed and people kept walking out in groups while I stayed glued to the floor
Maya offered to drive my home but I turned her down because personally I’ll rather walk and think about all that happened together instead of being confined to a car doing nothing
Seth however came to check up on me since we had a few classes together and seeing I was fine left me after hugging me lightly on the note that he would see me tommorow
The party which was well the cause of all our recent problems was the least of my worries since I lost all interest in it and I just wanted to spend Friday night with my best friend just like the old days simply laughing doing nothing and everything but still having the best time of our lives
The school was deserted by the time I was ready to leave and I knew for a fact Xander would be long gone by now I mean after what I did to him who would want to stay behind and wait up for me anyways
I headed to the parking lot since the main gate was right behind it ready to walk home when I sighed Xander’s car as the only car left in the parking lot as a distraught Xander leaned on it talking his hands repeatedly on the car when his eyes met with mine as he made his way into the car but not before opening the back door
I stood there confused as to what to do I could just pretend like I didn’t see him and continue walking home or I could admit I missed him and enter the car
His pleading eyes kept staring at me as I strode towards the exit stopping for a minute besides his car before entering shutting the door as he started the car driving away

The car ride was the most awkward one yet as I kept picking at my nails neither of us saying a word to each other as he concentrated on the road till my house was in sight
I heaved a sad sigh because I would have to leave him soon and this time we were both extremely angry at each other and yet neither of us were willing to make the first move to speak to one another
The car came to a halt at my door step as I opened up the door getting my things out taking one last glance at him before striding towards my door inserting the key getting in but not before hearing his door open up as he walked out following me closely behind
The house was pretty quiet which meant mum wasn’t back yet but I was pretty sure Xander was right behind me as I could hear his breathing and his cologne filled the entire room
“I can’t stand us being this way… He said
“I can’t too… I said sincerely
“I’m so so sorry Bes… He said coming up behind me hugging me from behind before turning me to look at him then crashing his body unto mine as we hugged so tightly
“I can’t stand you being mad at me I’m so sorry Bes… He said
“Xander I can’t just forget about everything that happened… I said as I placed my head on his shoulder
“Then hit me… He said staring at me
“What… I asked confused
“You’re angry because there’s too much built up emotions inside so hit me Bes just let it all out once and for all hit me as hard as you can
“I’m not hitting you Xander…
“Transfer all your angreassion and pain and pretend I’m your punching bag or something so just hit me and let it all out
“Xander
“Hit me kierra hell knows o deserve it
“You’re so annoying you know… I said hitting him lightly
“You’re so fricking annoying…. I said hitting him harder
“You made me hurt you… I said hitting him more
“Why do you have to be so so annoying… I said hitting him more
“You made me cry… I added last before breaking down in sobs as he sat on the couch while I rested on his shoulders still trembling
“I know Bes I’m so so sorry I promise it won’t happen again please… He said raising my head up to look at him
“I’m sorry Bes… He added before engulfing me in a tight hug
“I’m Sorry too… I said hugging him back
“You can go with Seth but I swear if he does anything out of place… He added lightly
“It’ll be fine Xander… I said taking his hand
“But you’re still not allowed to date him… He added grinning
“Why Huh… I said hitting him playfully
“I’ll tell you soon enough Bes… He said smirking
“Oh really now so…
“So… I say who’s in the mood for ice-cream… He said grinning
“Me Me me me me me oh you know it’s me… I said jumping playfully as he caught my hands in mid air caging me to my sides staring at me
“You hit like a a girl you know… He whispered lowly
“Last one to the car pays for the ice-cream.. He said letting me go before jumping off leaving me still on the couch stunned as my hands felt like they were on fire where he touched them
