When a Player Meets a Player

Chapter 33

I stared at Eddie as the words left his mouth. Of course I wanted the cute messages and someone that would love me the way Eddie did but on the other hand, could I just accept him back into my life? Just like that?

''I-I don't know Eddie''

''But you said if I got th-''

''I don't know if we can just pick up where we left off. I'm not sure I trust you anymore since you never even told me you and her had been in a relationship like that. You're just gonna have to give me time''

''As long as you need babe, i'll be here for you'' He gave a half-smile even though his eyes told me he was shattering inside as I told him he had lost my trust. I can't say I didn't feel a thing as the hopelessness expression crossed his face because I did. I cared for him more than anyone but something just wasn't right between us and we needed to work things out.

''I really do appreciate that'' We briefly hugged before he went off and I walked to the coffee place to meet Zayn and Kaylee.

''Hey'' I greeted Zayn as I joined him at his table ''Where's Kaylee?''

''With Justin. She texted''

''Oh'' I took a sip of my coffeee

'So how's things?'' Zayn asked

''School's good''

''I meant with Eddie'' he drank some from his hot chocolate

''We're on a... Break I guess. To be honest, I don't know what we are'' I sighed ''Zayn''

''Yeah?'' He raised an eyebrow while wiping his hot chcolate moustache with the back of his hand

''If I tell you something, you won't be mad right?'' he looked puzzled for a moment

''Spit it out''

''I heard you and Eddie the other day behind the pizza place'' I blurted out. I checked his expression but it was blank; that was until he burst out laughing.

''Oh sweetheart. I don't know how to say this nicely but I don't have a thing for you''

''Then why did you say you did!'' I yelled, earning myself glares and whispers

''So Eddie would shut up'' he stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

''Huh?''

''Look, sweetness.. I can't explain right now but I will some other time, yeah?'' I gave him 'the look' but nodded and we walked to English which we both had first. I took a seat next to Robbie and Zayn sat down at the desk behind him.

''You look nice today'' Robbie said trying to be nice even though I looked a twat in my baggy jeans and pineappke cut-off t-shirt that was meant for PE but oh well.

''You're a good liar'' I smirked but as I said that, my brain whispered 'just like your brother' and I would be lying myself if I said that didn't hurt.

The lesson went on but it just had a weird feeling in the atmosphere which I soon found out why. As sir was giving us yet another lecture, I turned to Robbie to complain about how boring the lesson was when I noticed Zayn pass a note and Robbie reach behind him to get it, reading it then replying before passing it back.

Wait... What would they have to talk about that was so important they would be passing notes?

They weren't even that good of friends!

''Oi Robbie!'' I whisper-yelled

'Yeah?'' he looked startled

''Love letters?'' I laughed as he huffed
