Sweet As Sugar (BxB) [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty-eight:

Brian's POV:

A month.

A whole month.

That's how much time we weren't speaking.

Not even a single word.

Not in class, not at lunch, not in school.

It's also how long I wasn't working at the bakery.

At first, his parents were a bit upset and tried to convince me to keep working anyway.

I told them I'd love too, but that school comes first.

And I wish it was true,

Even though I wasn't working, I was failing school.

Well, maybe failing is a hard word,

But my grades were getting lower and lower.

My own mother didn't know what to do with me.

At first, she was ok with the fact that I wasn't working, because she thought I did it so I could get better at school.

But then I stopped going to football practices as well.

I just couldn't find the motivation for it.

What's my future worth living for if I don't even want to be in my current present?

So there I was,

Waking up, going to school.

Getting back home right after,

And that's it.

Well, at least I was still going to school...

That was my only chance to see him.

At first, he was still looking back at me.

I stopped sitting with them, and I wasn't going to sit with Matthew and the others either.

So I just sat alone.

I mean sure,

Everyone else was looking at me as well,

But I only cared for his look.

And then he stopped looking at my direction.
