The secret

Chapter 14

The whole day went by so slowly. All I could think about it meeting Joel after school today. I want to be with him too. I've been thinking about it and I decided that it would be best to not tell him my secret. Even though it has left a scar on my heart forever, I think it's best to leave it in the past. I did what I thought I had to do, that's what people tell me.

It was 3 minutes before the end of the day and I kept staring at the clock for the bell to ring when it rang I was practically the first person out the door. I was walking towards Zabdi who was already waiting for me by the car. When we got home I decided to get started on my homework right away because I don't know how long I will be out with Joel. I didn't eat dinner in hopes of me and Joel going to a pizzeria somewhere. I look at the clock and it's 5:15, so I get ready. I changed clothes to a plain white crop top, with my adidas sweatshirt and black and white adidas shoes. I decided to keep my high waisted jeans on. Then I straightened my hair and fixed my makeup. It was now 5:50 and I headed out the door.

Zabdi brought me since he is super over protective of his car and doesn't let anyone drive it. When he dropped me off I went inside and looked around to find Joel but I didn't see him anywhere. I just took a sit in an empty table. The waitress came to ask what I would like and I told her to hold on a few minutes. I wanted to wait for Joel. It was now 6:15 and the waitress came over again, this time I ordered something while I waited for Joel. Then it was 6:30. Maybe he is just running late I'll wait for him a little longer. Now it was 6:40, so I decided to call him but he didn't pick up. I sent him a text asking him where he was but he didn't reply. I called him a couple more times but it send me to voicemail. Before I knew it, it was 7:01 and still nothing.

I was so frustrated! Did he just stand me up? What the hell! I didn't know what to do or think. How can he just not show up? I though he wanted this and I wanted it too! This is so humiliating, this has never happened before and I assure you it's gonna be the first and last! Does he think that I will forgive him for this?! Maybe I was over reacting but I didn't care! Maybe there was an emergency or something but I was too blinded to think about it in that way. I just assumed the worst. I look at the clock one last time and it was 7:25. I wasn't gonna sit here and wait anymore.

I texted Zabdi to come and pick me up and he did.

Zabdiel: So how was it? Are you guys dating now? -He asked with a smirk-

Lizeth: No, he fucking stood me up! -I said in anger-

Zabdiel: WHAT! Le voy a dar una golpiza a ese wey mañana cuando lo vea! Se las va a ver conmigo!

I just laughed! Then to take my mind off of him I decided to go through social media I look through Instagram and I came across his page. I clicked on his tag photos accidentally but then saw something I hadn't before. It was a picture of him and a girl at a restaurant. She had just uploaded it it about half an hour ago.

Lizeth: Well this just keeps getting better and better. -I said with tears dripping down my cheeks.

Zabdiel: What happened? -He asked worried and I showed him the picture- Hijo de su... His dumb ass is gonna hear me out and regret ever doing this too you! -He states in anger.-

When we got home I ran out of the car and inside the house. Zabdiel knew how upset I was so he chased after me. Then I went inside my room, I slammed the door and jumped on my bed. All I could do is cry. A few minutes passed and I couldn't move. I then heard a knock on the door and 5 girls ran to me and embraces me in a group hug. It was Veronica, Vanessa, Melissa, Clair and Melany.

Lizeth: what are you guys doing here? -I said in between tears-

Melany: Zabdiel called us. He thought you could use some girl support.
