One More Mistake
Chapter eight

❱ "Need a ride?" I turned over to the road and seen a slim black car. The window was rolled down and was met with Owens green dark eyes. I looked around the street where I was and I still needed a long way to go. From where I stood, I could see the building in which the party took place. I looked back at Owen and nodded. I made my way towards the passenger seat and got in. Owen was looking ahead when I got in while holding the steering wheel tightly. He then accelerated, and we both didn't speak. The ride was quiet but nice. There wasn't awkwardness but there was uncomfortable moments. Like when I curiously looked over at him and he caught me. It wasn't because I missed him or wanted him but because I know he wasn't well. From what he said earlier, Alexandra and Owen broke up and I know how well they are together. They are the ideal couple. Owen Pearson being the one to fix up the broken girl; Alexandra king.

"I apologize for what Linda said, she wasn't trying to hurt you. She was trying to hurt me, she doesn't think I'm right for Alexandra and I mean she's not wrong. I hurt Alexandra in so many ways and somehow she has the heart to forgive me" he says while still driving. I look away from window to where he is. He has this sad look that makes my heart tug.

Owen Pearson was once someone special to me, and he will forever be it. We've been knowing each other since we were about fourteen and there hasn't been a day that he hasn't made me want to love him as a person even more. He was my first in everything and I was okay with that.

I know Owen didn't love me the way I did and I was okay with that. When we met it was because of Alexandra, he wanted me to help him talk to her. He had always had eyes for her, even when she didn't have eyes for him.

Owen and Alexandra got together last year and they haven't had break up until the end of that year. It was their first break up and of course neither of them took it well so they did the most hurtful things to each other. I only know one of them because I was one of those hurtful things.

Owen and I bumped into each other in a business gathering. He looked well like he hadn't broken up with Alexandra a while ago. He was smiling and laughing all night and I obviously didn't notice anything wrong with him until I've seen him in front of my house on the porch. He had his heart in his sleeve. He stood in front of me with a broken smile and tears running on his face. All night we had just talked until he kissed me. I knew what he did was wrong and I knew it was a mistake. He was hurt, he needed someone and well I was there.

I stopped him before anything could happen but of course I couldn't always stop him. My feelings had to get in the way and well we did the mistake I feared. I knew I was going to get hurt but I still did it. It was supposed to be only a one time thing but we kept on doing that damn mistake and every time we got alone together we would hook up. It was toxic but we couldn't help it. He was hurt and well I was in love with him. We both needed each other, though we both had different reason.

At the end, there was only one person who would get hurt and sadly it was me. After a while, we both decided to stop everything that was going on. Then after a month Alexandra and Owen got back together. I was broken but I knew Alexandra was the one for him and I was just the other girl. Of course all of them knew about our little secret and that was only one of the reasons I was the problem to them.

"You don't have nothing to apologize for anything, you didn't do anything wrong. Though you do have to apologize for stalking" I said jokingly, just wanting to make Owen lighten a bit. Gladly it worked and he smiled. He looked over at me for a second looking back on the road. It was then quiet and Owen put on a blank face.

"I miss you," he suddenly said. He didn't say it to me as a lover but just a friend who truly misses a friend. I looked at him again and kept my smile.

"I miss you too" I said and soon it was quiet again. Once we were in front of my place he stopped at the gates that where closed. He turned off the car and we were just sitting there. I was not getting out the car and he was not telling me to leave. I looked down at my lap but then looked at him. Owen was looking ahead but soon locked eyes with me.

"It was nice talking to you today, you know it's been a while since we talked" He said and I nodded but didn't say anything back. It truly was nice to have him around, I had almost forgotten how it was to be around him. Soon my hand found the lock and clicked it open. I got the off the car but didn't close the door.

"Well I'll see you in school?" I asked and he had only nodded. Of course we both knew we weren't to talk in school nor even glance at each other but I guess we just like the thought. I slam the door shut and waved goodbye once he was turning to leave. He glanced at me one more time and smiled. When his headlights were nowhere in sight I opened the gates and walked towards the doors whilst smiling at nothing exactly.
