Chereads / Wish I Were Heather / Chapter 5 - Verse 4

Chapter 5 - Verse 4

Watch as she stands

With her holding your hand

Put your arm 'round her shoulder

Now I'm getting colder

Taeyong

Somehow the days of winter were colder without him. He barely hung out with me anymore. All I got was a quick smile and wave in the halls and then he would rush to his girlfriend. Forgetting me, as usual.

I spent my new free time with my friends Doyoung and Ten. They're always there for me no matter what.

"Ugh I don't know why he chose her, litterally everyone in the school likes her. He could at least be a little original." Ten scoffed as I giggled. I was happy to make light of the situation, even if inside I was truly broken. Doyoung must've sensed my sadness and pulled me into a huge hug, which Ten soon joined.

"Maybe now you can find other guys to date and like? You've spent practically your whole life liking Jaehyun. Don't you want a change?" Doyoung asked me.

"God I wish. It's not that easy though, he's got me wrapped around his finger and he doesn't even know it." I sighed in reply. "Ten, you were in a similar thing as I am in, how'd you get Johnny to like you back?"

"I'm not really sure, I just got sick of the whole friend charade and asked him out. Haha I still can't believe he said yes to that crap confession." He giggled.

"Wow way to rub it in, I wish I was as confident as you." I pouted. "You're so lucky, we knew Johnny was bi but Jaehyun is like the definition of a straight white boy. And he's korean!" I rambled.

"True, and when he's around Heather his Jeffery side comes out." Doyoung said with a fake gag making me chuckle.

"Ugh so true. I'm sorry for always being down about this guys, I'm probably not very fun to be around right now." I frowned, feeling guilty for pushing my problems on to them.

"Don't even say that! You know we are here for you, and plus even if that was true you know I would listen anyway for the dramaa!" Ten replied.

While I laughed my phone dinged and when I checked it, it was my mom telling me to come home quickly for dinner. "Sorry guys I gotta go! See you at school tomorrow!" I yelled at them before rushing out the door, not wanting to miss the meal.

~~Time Skip~~

I rushed out my door heading to school. I have to walk now since Jaehyun started driving Heather to school. He all of a sudden stopped picking me up. Maybe he forgot about me, or he just stopped wanting anything to do with me.

I walked past them on the way to first period. His arms were around her keeping her warm and she was wearing his sweater. Jealousy and hatred filled me and tears brimmed my eyes. I wish it was me in his arms. I wish I was wearing his sweater. I wish I were his.

The winter days might be cold, but now I'm even colder.
