The Senior Still Loves The Freshman - Sequel

The Senior Still Loves The Freshman Chapter 9

Derek and I walked inside our house.

He headed upstairs and I followed. We took a quick shower then laid in bed.

I was on Derek's warm chest and he ran his fingers through my hair.

"My Aunt's funeral is tomorrow,"

"Oh right," I said. I had forgotten all about that.

"It's about an hour drive from here,"

"Sounds good to me,"

"I cant go on our group trip this year,"

"Why?"

"Work,"

"Come on, please,"

"I can't. If I could I would but I can't,"

I sighed. "Fine,"

I had to admit I was pretty upset.

Every year the guys and I could up to the mountains for a week and ski.

It's so much fun.

"Sorry, I'll make it up to you,"

"In bed,"

He chuckled and kissed me.

"Tell me about Finn,"

"No," I said.

"Please,"

"No, he's an ass whole and I hate him, that's all you need to know,"

"Why?"

"Freshman wasn't my best year,"

"Open up to me," he pleaded.

"I am open to you! I just want to keep this to myself,"

"Fine. Good night,"

Derek kissed my forehead and turned off the light.

I stared at the ceiling. I was able to see it through the cloud of darkness.

I thought about Finn.

He saw Derek and I at the beach.

The pain on his face was unbearable.

I don't know why I care about him the way I do.

He broke my heart, he lied to me, he betrayed me, he ruined me. As much as I wanted to forgive and forget I couldn't.

The first heartbreak I the deepest they say. I guess they were right.

It's been eight years and I could still cry about Finn.

I hated that.

His weird affect on me.

I don't care how long it's been. He's still the same jackass from high school.

The one you fell for a voice said.

I looked over at Derek, the love of my life.

Maybe I should just tell him what happened.

Maybe that would help me and clear the air.

Derek is a nice guy, he can handle it.

Right?

I sighed and looked at the ceiling again.

My eyes felt heavy and closed slowly.

(Finn's Point Of View)

I stayed in bed all morning.

Seeing Alex and Derek, doing it, killed me.

I missed her, I missed us.
