Chapter 3 I just want to forget

Chapter 2

Gabby's pov

I woke up to an empty bed. I wonder where Alex had gone. I felt better than I had the night before. I looked down at myself and realized I was still wearing my dress from last night. Was everything that happened just a dream? The soreness between my legs said otherwise. I found a scrunchie and pulled my hair up then grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of shorts from Slade's closet I decided to go out and look for Slade, Alex, or Gracie so I could get home.

I went out into the hall and saw Alex coming my way. He looked at me and I thought for a minute thing between us had changed. That he now felt the same as I did. That would be too good to be true. Nothing ever happens the way you want them too.

"Hey squirt Gracie is looking for you. Where did you end up running off to last night? You better not have done anything with any of Slade's frat brothers."

Was he serious right now? He thought I was with one of his friends. He didn't remember what we shared. I lost my virginity to the man I loved, and he didn't even remember. I felt tears welling up in my eyes, and knew I needed to get away from him.

"I am not a slut Alex."

I shoved him out of my way and ran down the stairs. I would talk to Grace later. Right now, I just needed to get away. I can't believe Alex. How dare he treat me like that. He was my first. Now that beautiful night was tainted.

My phone kept going off, but I just ignored it. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now. Once I got home, I ran up to my room and locked the door. I laid down on my bed and allowed myself to cry. How could he not remember being with me? I will never be able to be around him again. My best friend's brother just broke my heart and I'm not sure I will ever be the same again.

How am I even going to face her? She is going to want to know what happened last night. I can't tell her any of this. I just don't know what to do. I made a huge mistake. I just feel so broken right now. My first time was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I thought Alex knew it was me, but he must have thought I was someone else.

My phone was still going off, but I wasn't ready to talk to anyone yet. I needed to pull myself together first. I needed to figure out what I was going to do. I could never let Gracie find out that I slept with her brother. Now that I know he doesn't even remember it was me I can never let him find out either. This had to be my dirty little secret.

I just needed tonight for myself. To cry and deal with my heartbreak. Tomorrow I'd pretend like nothing happened. I'll say some boy at the party upset me, so Slade showed me an empty room I could sleep in and be safe. That my phone died. Or I couldn't find it. Gracie being the sweet friend that she would forgive me. This was the plan. I just hoped that Alex didn't tell Gracie that he thought I slept with some random guy.

I decided to look at some of the messages on my phone knowing that some from Grace might cheer me up. When I looked most of them were from Alex. What did he want? Did he remember? Part of me thought it would be worse if he did. It's better for everyone if this night is just forgotten.

Most of his texts were saying he was sorry. Then he was worried if I got home okay. Telling me that Gracie was worried because no one has seen me or heard from me. I knew she would stay worried if I didn't at least call her. I was getting ready to when there was a knock on my door. I looked up to see the one person I didn't want to see. I had forgotten that I unlocked my door for my mom to bring me some tea since she thought I was sick. Now I was face to face with the last person on earth I wanted to see. Just my luck.

"Alex what are you doing here?"

"We need to talk."

He was the last person I wanted to talk to. I needed him to leave. Why was he even here anyway? Did he come because he finally figured I was the girl in his room? Did he feel sorry for me? Or did he come because by me leaving I upset his sister? It was hard telling with Alex he was a hard one to figure out.
