Drawn To You

•8•

After my dad and Haz practically hang out and leave me to my lonesome, It starts to get dark and get close to being time to go. It's cute how well they get along, my dad never likes my friends. Well, at least until now.
They walk back towards me, laughing over something which makes me smile. My dad used to get hounded by fans, but ever since he retired from racing it's been different. I know how much he misses interacting with the younger people instead of his racing friends.
"Seriously, thank you so much. That was amazing." Haz says to him.
"You're welcome to come down to the track anytime." My dad smiles.
"Alright can I steal my friend back now?" I ask.
"Aw don't be jealous, you're still my main squeeze." Haz teases and I roll my eyes.
"I'm headed back to his house so I don't need a ride." I inform my dad.
"Alright, I'll see you two later." My dad says his goodbyes, and I walk back towards Haz's car with him.
"I hope you know, my dad is going to be asking me to invite you all the time now." I laugh.
"I am perfectly okay with that." He says as we get in the car. I buckle my seat belt, and he pulls out of the parking lot.

Haz opens the door to his and Toms house, and practically runs into a girl who's on the other side. Her hair is a mess, her makeup is smeared, and she looks quite honestly like a wreck.
"Sorry.. so sorry." She mutters, quickly walking past us and out the door.
Haz laughs to himself as we go in, seeing Tom is quite the mess too. His curls are messed up, and he looks exhausted.
"What happened?" I question, and they both look at me like I'm crazy.
"Seriously?!" Tom exclaims in amusement.
I quickly come to the realization of what was going on before we got here, and my hand slaps over my mouth, laughing at myself.
Looks like he moved on from Meghan quickly..
"Why did she look like you threw her around the room?!" I ask.
"Because that's exactly what I did." He says with a straight face and my eyes widen, looking to Haz.
"Don't worry, most guys aren't like Tom." Haz assures me and Tom shakes his head.
"No they are not- I'm better." He grins proudly.
"I am done with this conversation." I mutter.
Haz's phone starts ringing, and he puts his finger up to us before answering it and leaving the room. I sit down across from Tom and feel really tempted to ask him about the situation earlier with Meghan. Why were they fighting if they're not a couple?
"So.. why was Meghan yelling at you earlier?" I just come right out and ask.
"You're nosey." He states.
"Yeah I am. So?"
"She was mad that I said I didn't want to sleep with her anymore." He says plainly.
"Why would she be mad about that?" I ask.
"Would you like to see for yourself, princess?" He grins and I practically gag.
"I think I'll pass."
"I'm just messing with you. Don't give that up to anyone unless they're the best person you've ever met and they respect you and love you." He says, once again breaking his bad boy character that I hate so much.
"So that girl?" I question.
"Is a random girl I met on tinder." He nods. "No connection what so ever. But it's different for me, I'm a man whore."
We laugh together, and Haz comes back into the room. He looks between the two of us with confusion.
"Getting along?" He asks.
"For once." I joke.
My phone dings, and I pull it out. My heart drops when I see who texted me. This is the first time he's reached out since the breakup.
Jacob: you left some stuff at my place. When do you want to get it?
Wow.. it's really over now. It's really hitting.
"What's wrong?" Haz asks.
"Um.. Jacob said he has my stuff ready to be picked up." I say quietly.
"What a dick. Want to go tonight?"
"No, Well..." I trail off.
"Front row seat to see that dumb ass gone for good? I'm in." Tom says, getting up and grabbing the keys to the car.
oh god.. I do not want to do this but better to get it done sooner rather than later right?
Eliana: I'll be there in 10.
"Okay.. let's go."
We go out to the car, and my foot taps nervously as Haz drives. This is a terrible idea. Absolutely terrible. I tell him where to drive, and it takes about twenty minuets to make it to Jacobs house.
We pull up, and Haz starts laughing loudly. What could possibly be so funny?
"Eliana please tell me you didn't date a guy who drives a Kia." He says.
"A Kia? Jacob doesn't drive a Kia.." I mutter.
Why is there another car in his driveway?
I get out of the car, and slowly walk up to the front door. I look back, and Haz gives me a thumbs up, encouraging me to knock. Why am I so nervous? This is stupid.
My hand lifts, and I knock on the door. Anxiety runs through my veins as I wait for it to open, but anxiety quickly turns to anger when I see who's standing in front of me.
"Taylor?" I say in disbelief.
"Oh.. I don't think I was suppose to answer the door." She giggles.
"Shit shit shit." I hear Jacob say as he makes his way to the door. He only curses when he really messes up, and he really messed up this time.
Taylor was my best friend, we were inseparable. That is until she made a move on Jacob six months ago and made out with him behind my back. He said it meant nothing, but if she's here now then obviously it wasn't nothing.
"You know what? I don't want my stuff." I say, turning around to walk away.
"Come on Eliana, don't be like that. We're not even together anymore." He groans.
"It's been three days." I state.
"Yeah well.. it's been over for a long time now, I think we both can agree on that." He says.
So all this time, he's been over me but stayed in the relationship anyways? I trusted him. I gave my everything into our relationship, and he just acts like it meant nothing?
"Goodbye Jacob." I say, grabbing my stuff from his hands and walk back to the car, tears streaming down my face. This hurts more than I thought it would.
I open the door, and they both look at me with concern.
"What happened?" Haz asks.
"He's moved on.. with my best friend.. that he cheated on me with."
"Alright.." Tom mutters to himself, and the next thing I know he gets out of the car and is walking up to the door.
"Oh no." Haz and I say in unison, quickly getting out of the car, but obviously not quick enough because Tom swings at Jacob, knocking him to the ground.
"Tom!" I yell, but he pays me no mind.
"Don't you ever even look in her direction again, you fucking hear me?" He says in a low voice, and I stand in shock.
"Jesus Christ you're crazy!" Jacob yells at him, clutching his face in pain. I can't believe that just happened..
"Damn right I am, so stay away." He says.
Tom turns towards me and Haz, and grabs my arm, pulling me back to the car.
"What is wrong with you?!" I exclaim.
"Get in the car." He says calmly.
"Not until you tell me what that was about-"
"Get in the damn car Eliana." He groans, and Haz nods to me, just wanting me to get in the car.
I open the door, and get inside, Haz and Tom getting in as well and we drive off, a silent car trip the whole way as they drive me back home.
