Chapter 11

Finals were over and school had finally ended. I passed all my finals and got A's on my report card. You'd think I'd be happy, right?

Wrong. I was completely miserable. I never realized before how much I would actually miss Tim if our relationship ended. Well, not if any more. It had ended and I couldn't handle it. I had spent the past few days crying and just being in an awful mood. Why was all this happening to me? Had I done something so awful in a past life that god was punishing me for it now? Where was Aphrodite when you needed her?

I had been spending a lot of time with Soda. I slept over his house a lot and spent most of my free time there. My mom was always at work and Two-Bit was never home and I didn't want to be alone. That just made me sulk even more in my misery. Soda was there for me, so I stayed with him. My best friend. Thank god I had him.

I went to the DX with him, too. I'd help him or Steve around the garage or in the office. I just did it to keep busy. I didn't want any time to think about what had happened or what I had seen. I saw those pictures enough when I went to sleep at night. Stupid Tim; he had ruined everything. How could he change his mind so quickly? I thought he loved me. What had happened? I knew I loved him, even now. I knew my heart would always be with him, no matter what. I needed him. Why did he have to go out and cheat on me?

I was in the office, bored out of my mind. Soda and Steve were out in the garage fixing up some car, so I was left to manage up front. The bell above the door rang and I looked up. Oh great. I turned around and tried to figure out what to do. "Bridget, I didn't know you worked here."

I turned around and looked at Tim. "I don't. I'm just helping out. I don't really feel like spending my days at home alone."

"Look, can we talk?"

"We have nothing to talk about. I think you made your point very clear the other night in the bedroom."

"Bridget, please." I looked into his eyes and saw that they were staring at me pleadingly.

I sighed. "Fine." He walked outside and I started to follow him. "Soda, Steve, I'll be back. I'm just gonna step outside for a sec." I yelled into the garage.

"Yup," one of them yelled back.

"Alright Shepard, what do you want?"

"I need to explain what happened."

"What's there to explain? You got sick of me and screwed another girl. What more is there to tell?"

"That's not what happened." He sighed.

"Well, c'mon then. Out with it." I was getting impatient.

"While you were doing all that studying, I started to realize that you were goin' places. You're brilliant and you're gonna get outta Tulsa. I realized that you weren't gonna be with me forever. You're gonna leave for college and forget all about me. You're gonna find some rich, smart guy that can take care of ya better than I can. I knew from the beginning that you were too good for me. You don't need me in your life. All I can do is ruin it. I'm not worth you screwing up your life over."

I looked at him sadly. "Tim."

"No, it's true. You can't deny any of that. That's why I went with to Buck's with Sam."

My eyes were filling with tears. "Tim. I-I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything. You know that all that is true. You know that I'm just a no-good hood. You don't need that in your life."

"You're right, I don't." He looked down. "But I do need you." He lifted his head up and looked at me surprised. "I love you, Tim. I need you in my life." He walked over to me and put his hand at the back of my neck. I leaned into him and our lips connected. He tangled his hand in my hair and I put my arms around his waist. I pulled away. "You hurt me so much."

"I know. I'm so sorry. I didn't think. My anger got the best of me." I kissed him again.

"Why is there so much drama in this relationship?"

"I have no idea. Guess we just attract as much as possible." He brushed his lips against mine. I pulled away and leaned my forehead against his.

"What am I going to do with you?" I asked.

"Whatever you please."

"You just make things so complicated."

"I know. I told you I just ruin your life."

I pulled away and looked at him. "No. You make it worth living." I leaned in and pressed my lips against his.

"Bee! We need some help!" Steve yelled from the garage.

I pulled away from Tim. "I gotta go. See you later?"

"Definitely." I kissed him again.

"Bye." I walked away and headed into the garage. I went to work helping Steve and Soda with the car, but I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. Tim and I were back together! I was ecstatic. I knew I probably shouldn't have forgiven him so easily, but his reasoning just got to me. He actually opened up to me. That meant something, right? I sighed. I loved that boy with all my heart.

And I'd probably never stop.
