When He Leaves: Part Five
Chapter Eleven: The Unassailable Truth
I slept well the next couple of nights. School was going pretty decent, except for the occasional mean girls. The boys didn’t bother Connie anymore, but I still drove her home everyday. I had become her confidant, and it made me feel trusted. I tried my best to help her through her struggles, and it crushed me to know that she was truly in a lot of pain.
Trey was still acting strange but I decided that I was too tired of pestering him, knowing he wouldn’t tell me the truth. He called me this morning, his speech slurred - hungover. Probably from a party. Sure enough, he told me that he had thrown yet another party at his dorm. We talked and talked, since he hadn’t been able to converse much in the last few days. He acted semi - normal, but not totally himself. And of course when I asked him - even though I told myself I wouldn’t - he denied any change in himself. I itched with curiosity, but I ignored it.
Today, I went to school happier than I usually would. I had just accepted the fact that my parents didn’t want me to the point where they would act like I wasn’t there. I act like it doesn’t bother me, but I’m just too ashamed to admit that it completely destroys me. As I walked into my last hour, the group of girls were once again laughing amongst themselves. I found out who the familiar girl was. Her name is Sam, and she’s the younger sister of one of Trey’s old friends, Lillian.
“Hey, Ally.” Sam said. I looked at her confused. She only ever talks to me to make fun of me.
“Hey?”
“How’s your day?” What the hell is going on?
“Fine, I guess. Yours?” I played along.
“Great, actually. I went to a college party last night.”
“Oh, cool. What college?”
“Sheridan.” She smirked. I knew exactly why.
“Were you at Trey’s party? He told me he threw one.”
“Yeah, my sister and I went. He didn’t invite you?”
“No, but yet again I had homework to do anyway.” Why wouldn’t he invite me if he invited her? I was so puzzled.
“Aw, what a shame. It was a crazy party. Although, I don’t think you would’ve wanted to be there.” She smirked once again.
“Why? He is my boyfriend after all…” Sam pulled out her phone carefully, not wanting to get caught by the teacher.
“I...
