Chapter fifteen
I run up the stairs back to my room, my purse and keys in hand. I'm fucking scared for my life, right now. Somebody vandalized my god damned car and I don't have money for a new one.
"Skylar!" I shout and bang on my room door.
The door flys open.
"Are you okay? You look flustered,"
"Somebody slit my tires," It spills out of my mouth.
Her mouth drops open.
"What?" she asks, shocked.
"Yeah, all my tires are slashed,"
"Oh my god Novah. I wasn't gonna tell you this but now I think I should,"
"What?"
"I don't think I should...."274Please respect copyright.PENANAzc88cDhsBM
"Tell me!" I demand.
She rubs her arms and looks from side to side. "I saw Matt's car out there,"
"What? When?"
Why would Matt want to slit my tires?
Skylar continues talking. "Now that I'm thinking about it, he doesn't want you to find him, right? And also, you know how jealous he is. He probably did that so that you can't use your car to go anywhere,"
Fuck. That does make sense. "He's always been so jealous and paranoid," I tell her.
"Call him," she says.
I pull my phone out of my back pocket and dial his number.
It rings and rings. Of course, he doesn't answer.
"Text him. Tell him its an emergency,"274Please respect copyright.PENANAymQp04Lx7P
Matt, you need to come to the dorm rooms. Now. It's urgent, I text him.274Please respect copyright.PENANAlqYTVaQXPk
"I can't believe he would do something like this. I always knew he was a fucking psychopath,"
"Now hold on. Lets's not jump to conclusions. We don't know that he did this,"274Please respect copyright.PENANAKFDV3B1bkx
"Well, who else would, Novah?!"
"I don't know! But I do know that he loves me,"
"Oh, he loves you?! He barely fucking knows you, Novah!!"
"Why are you yelling at me?!"
"Cause you're being fucking stupid! Dump him already and stop being a dumb bitch!"
"Did you just call me a dumb bitch?" I whisper.
She must've bumped her damn head cause I will beat her motherfucking ass if she calls me out of my name one more time.
She stays silent and her face becomes remorseful. "I'm sorry. But he's not right for you. I'm angry because he treats you like shit. You deserve someone who really loves and respects you,"
"He does,"
"No, he fucking doesn't!"
"Then who's right for me since you know exactly who is and isn't?"
"Anybody but him,"
I'm about to say something back when my phone starts ringing.
I pick up immediately.
"Novah are you okay?!" I hear Matt's nasally, startled voice on the other end.
"Are you on your way?" I ask.
"Yes. What's going on?"
Skylar is standing in the doorway, staring me down.
"Well...."
"Ask him why he fucked up your car," Skylar interjects.
"Shh." I silence her.
"My tires are slit,"
"Who did it?" He asks sternly.
"Well.....Skylar and I think you might've done that,"
"Come outside. And bring that little whore with you,"
The phone call ends.
"C'mon. He's outside,"
We start walking down the hall. "He's a pathological liar, Novah. Don't believe a thing he says,"
I roll my eyes and groan. "Don't call my boyfriend a....."
"Your boyfriend?! He fucks you over every chance he gets and I'm left caring for you,"274Please respect copyright.PENANATEh57Nhj0h
"Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was a liability,"274Please respect copyright.PENANA3EHG0U1Akq
I start walking faster, in front of her.
She grabs my arm. "Novah, I care about you and I want to see the best for you,"
I snatch my arm away from her and continue walking in front of her, as fast as I can without running.
I ignore her nonsense. I'm just focused on being in Matt's arms and him proving that he's not the one that slit my tires.
I can't be let down again today.
It would be my undoing.
