I Won't Give Up •The Substitute Teacher Sequel•

Chapter 4

Daniel's P.O.V.

I decide to get out of the house today and go to Urth Café for an early lunch. This restauraunt always gives me nostalgia. It was Joey's favorite.

I get there and take my seat. I am a few tables down from these two guys who seem to be on a date. Well, I know they are dating. They keep kissing and grabbing eachothers hand. I wish Joey and I were still like that, completely in love and inseperable. I bet that guy would never cheat on his boyfriend like I did. I bet he is completely loyal.

I order some food and begin to eat it. I keep glancing up every few seconds to look at the couple. They both seem nervous, almost anxious. Like as if they can't get caught. Oh well

I am eating my food when I hear a chair open violently at their table. And a familiar cry I know all too well, Joey. I look over and he is sitting at that table with the couple with tears streaming down his face. I can tell he is lit with anger. But that's one thing about Joey. When he is the most mad, he is the most calm. I saw him look at me out of the corner of his eyes. I can tell that me being here sets him a little less at ease. I know he doesn't want to talk to me.

I hear Joey say something about a list of cheaters. It makes me facial expression drop because I know I am on that list. I know I am on the hate list of someone I love so much. He gets up and dumps the guy's drink on his head. God, what did he do? How are they tied together? He looks at me as he is walking. I have to follow him. I won't be able to live with myself if I can't talk to him ever again.

I am following him and he begins to walk much faster. He gets in his car and I tap on his window yelling his name. He finally rolls down his window. Seeing his red puffy eyes down't make me happy. But just the fact that I get to see his eyes sets me a little more at ease.

"Not now Daniel," he says as he rolls down his windoe giving me a death stare.
"Joey please. Can we just talk?" I say with the last ounce of hope that my body has in it. All of the other bits of it were drained when I was hoping for him to text me back.
"I don't know if I can handle having a conversation with two cheaters today," he says throwing his words at me as if they will pierce through my skin. And what's sad is that they actually do. A tear falls down my cheek but I am quick to wipe it away. I never liked being vulnerable in front of Joey and now isn't the best time in the world.
"Joey please. I can't take this silence anymore. Can we please just talk at your house. If you don't accept my apology then you never have to speak to me again. I won't make you," I say as a few more tears fall down my cheek. But I don't bother to wipe them away. There really is not use at this point.
"Fine," he says unlocking his car doors to let me in. I take a deep breath and walk to the other door. I get in and he drives to his house.

This may be my last chance to win him back. I need to make it count.
