Eyes ~ e. o'connor

- A P O L O G I E S -

I didn't even have to turn around, I already knew who it was. "No I'm not ok Enoch!"
"Geez, what's gotten into you?"
I chuckle "Well I don't know, I was just walking around minding my own business until I saw you and Olive kissing" He stands there stunned

"Yeah that's right k-i-s-s-i-n-g" I throw my hands up in the air sarcastically.

He speaks up "well you don't know what actually happened!"

I stand up from my spot "ok so I'm guessing here is the part where you try and explain that it wasn't your fault; and I'm not falling for it this time." I let a tear run down my cheek "I've already fallen for your tricks once and I'm not letting it happen again" I turn around and storm off
"Mae, wait!" He catches up, grabs my wrist and pulls me towards him.

"Look I'm sorry ok?" I squirm out of his strong grasp. "No. Ok sorry not gonna cut it just yet" I take off running to somewhere where I can be alone. "Mae come on. Please don't go" They were the last words I heard before I took off into the house.

I run up the stairs with voices coming from everywhere.
"Mae are you ok?"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
I kept running down the hallway ignoring all the voices. I open the door to my room and slam it.

I stand up with my back on the door. I slowly sink down and pull my legs up to my chest; and then I cry. I let the tears fall into my lap. I have never been one to cry. I've always put this barrier up between me and my emotions, but now I just couldn't keep that wall up. I let my emotions take over me. I was a mess; and it was all his fault.

(Enoch POV)

I run after Mae. I need to tell her the truth. I follow her up to her room, I'm too late she has already locked the door. "Mae, come on open up" I give up after a while and my legs give out. I sink to the floor and my head drops. I press my ear to the door and hear slight sobbing. I've never seen her cry. I run my hands through my hair. What have I done.

I wipe my eyes and stand up. It's supper time. I don't think I can bring myself to look at him again. I walk down the stairs and am now standing in front of the dining room. I push the doors open and everyone is there, besides Enoch and Olive.

I take a seat besides Emma and Horace. Horace leans over "are you alright Mae" I quickly nod my head, I don't want to think about it again.

My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the doors open up. Everyone's conversations stop and their heads all turn around. In walks Enoch and Olive. Of course. Olive smiles a bright and happy smile, and Enoch's eyes are undeniably swollen. Has he been crying? Olive grabs his hand, and he just stands there not doing anything. I thought he was willing to try and make this work. I guess not. Just as they both sat down, I push my chair out and storm off to my bedroom.

I slam the door and plonk myself on my bed. I wrap myself in the covers and I cry my eyes out. That boy is just too hard to understand. I lay there until I hear a little knock at the door. "Mae it's me" I don't even say anything, just let her walk in the room. She runs up to me and gives me a hug. I hold her and embrace her in a hug. A little comfort is always nice to have.
