Double Take.
Chapter Twenty - Four.
It was currently the day after I left Jack's house, and I was at work. I wasn't my active self at work today, and I just let the students do whatever they pleased, and they seemed to take notice in it. My eye was also still pretty messed up, as I woke up with a black eye thing morning.
"Mr. G, can Jason and I sing for the class?" Lily asked. I looked up and met the eyes of my students, making them gasp as they saw the black eye, as it was they first time I lifted my head up the whole class period.
"Holy shit Mr. G! What happened to you?" Josh asked.
"Must you all know?" I asked as I sat back in my seat. I had no problem with telling my students about what happened, they knew everything else about my life, so why not? I heard all of them say yes, and I let out a sigh before speaking again. "Jack and I got in a fight. Things got a little out of hand."
"Jack did that to you?" Lily questioned. I nodded my head again, and to my surprise, the students looked pretty pissed off. Some of them even have the look of protectiveness in their eyes.
"Are you two still together?" Another asked.
"I mean, I never broke up with him. He never broke up with me. I love him more than my own life, this is just a small set back, I'm not calling it off with him." I asked.
"But he hit you."
"It was the drugs he was on. My Jack wouldn't do that." I spoke, before hearing someone clear their throat. I looked over to my door and saw Steph was standing there, looking pretty guilty if you ask me. "Can I help you Mrs. Logan?"
"Uh, can I talk to you Mr. Gaskarth?" She asked awkwardly. I nodded my head, and she followed me to the back of my classroom.
"What's up Steph?"
"Uh..I don't know how to say this Alex...but um..." Something about her voice told me that I wouldn't like this.
"Out with it." I spoke.
"Jack and I had sex last night." She spat out. I looked at her with utter shock on my face. I told myself over and over again that Jack loved me, I was wrong. He was just like Andy. Worse than him. "Please say something."
"You had sex with my fucking boyfriend?!" I shouted. Getting the looks from every student in the class, which I didn't care. I would probably have told them about this anyways.
"Alex-" I cut her off.
"No! I don't want to fucking hear it! Get the hell out of my classroom!" I shouted in her face. She looked like she was about to cry, but I didn't care. She turned around and left the room. I dropped to the floor and held myself as I let the tears come flowing, I didn't care who was watching. How could Jack do something like that to me? And with Steph?! Is this even real life right now? I was broken from my thoughts as I heard my phone start ringing from the front of the room. I wiped my eyes, flinching as I wiped my left eye, and got off the ground and went to my desk and picked up my phone. I knew the number to be Andy's, I didn't really care about anything right now. So I answered it. "H-hello?"
"Alex? Your voice just cracked? Are you crying?" Andy asked, sounding worried.
"Yes." I said bluntly.
"What happened?" He asked. I used to tell everything to Andy, so why stop now?
"Jack and I got in a fight last night. He hit me, and Steph just walked into the room and told me that her and Jack slept together last night." I said, voice cracking every other word.
"Alex, I know this is the wrong time to talk about this. But I miss you. I ended things with Juliet, I need you in my life. I miss my pink-haired princess." He spoke softly. Truth be told, I missed him too. At least with him, he would never lay a hand on me.
"I miss you too, Andy." I said softly.
"I'm on my way to the school right now. I'll see you in a few minutes, my love." He spoke. I said a soft 'okay' and he spoke again. "Take me back please? Move back in with me?" Could I really do this to myself? Could I really push everything back and just get back together with him? I missed him, and I would be lying if I said I didn't love him anymore.
"Okay."
