Quote #11 Type of Day

Have you ever had the type of day 
where no one has done anything wrong to you, 
yet you want to punch them in the face anyway?
Yeah, I'm there.

 

"Hey!" he called to her as she hurried down the hallway. He had just ran out of the world history class room when he saw her run past. He knew she was upset about something and he wanted to help her. Then again, if he didn't want to help why would he consider himself her boyfriend. "Come on Carmen," he called when she ignored him and kept running.

"Don't bother," she muttered when he caught up to her and grabbed a hold of her arm. She ripped her arm from him and ran away from him. He followed her at a slower pace this time, knowing where she was going he took a shortcut. As she was running around a corner that he was waiting for her at, he grabbed a hold of her again. Pulling her into a hug, he walked her into an empty classroom and closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong Carmen?" He quietly asked, not letting her go. She just stood there shaking in his arms.

"Let me alone Seamus," Carmen stated, starting to fight in his arms. She just needed to get out of there. She was just having a bad day today and he wasn't going to help it.

"Tell me what's wrong," he demanded, holding onto her but at arms length by the shoulder so he could see her.

"Well Seamus, have you ever had one of those days where no one has done anything wrong to you, yet you just want to punch them in the face anyway? I'm there right now and you should really just leave me alone!" Carmen fibbed with a glare.

"Don't lie to me, I know you aren't telling the truth," Seamus growled.  

"Just leave me alone," She muttered with a sigh. She wasn't trying to get away from him anymore and he could tell she was on the verge of crying. 

"Carmen love," he quietly sighed, bringing up his hand to brush her hair behind her ear. "Please tell me what's wrong so I can fix it."

"Nothings wrong?" Carmen replied, the question evident in her voice.

"Because I believe that, come on deary you can tell me," Seamus looked lovingly at his girlfriend, wanting to help her and make her smile. He didn't like to see her upset. It upset him.

"Don't be mad," Carmen ordered after being quiet for a few minutes. Seamus nodded, not saying anything, just waiting for her to continue. "Okay well as you know I was in gym class."

"The class with Ingrid," he sighed, knowing what was coming. He had forgotten she was in gym class that hour. Then again it had just went over his head what hour they were in at the moment.

"Yes the class with Ingrid," Carmen repeated, turning away from Seamus and starting to walk to the windows in the classroom.

"What did she do this time?"

"You should know since you're so popular and all," Carmen muttered angrily. Seamus was by her side almost instantly, whipping her around to face him. His face was contorted in fury as he tried to get control of his anger at what she had just said.

"Carmen you don't mean that," he growled. Carmen didn't seem to realize what she had said was having such an effect on him.

"What don't I mean?" Carmen sarcastically jeered, looking angrily at her boyfriend. They had this fight almost every time Ingrid did something to Carmen and it always ended with him winning. She was just so mad at him for it.

"You don't mean to imply that I had something to do with what Ingrid did to you, which I would like to point out I haven't a clue what she did!"

"Well why don't you go ask all your jocky friends? The ones that you actually like."

"Carmen Jay Newner," Seamus growled.

Carmen cut in before he could continue with what he was going to say, "Don't Carmen Jay Newner me! I know what my name is. Now scram Seamus and go hang out with the friends that you like as I just said. There's no reason to argue with me about this when you don't even want to be here." Seamus took a step back because of what she had said, his anger evaporating quickly.

"Carmen, what did Ingrid say to you?" he sighed. Carmen turned away from him quickly, realizing that he wasn't going to fight with her this time and not wanting him to look at her right now. What Ingrid had just said was painful to remember, she didn't really want to remember it. Seamus took a hold of her arm and gently spun her back around to face him. She was shaking again, trying to contain her emotions. "Carmen I know she did something to upset you, so why don't you just tell me. What is it that you think I might get mad about?"

"She told me," Carmen started, cutting off when her throat closed up as a tear rolled down her cheek. Carmen tried again, "She told me." Carmen stopped again. 

"Carmen it can't be that bad," Seamus murmured, rubbing her shoulders as more tears followed the first one down her face. "Come on, tell me." 

"She told me that you didn't really love me," Carmen rushed out. "She told me that you were just dating me to get in my pants because of a bet between you and your friends. She told me that you are actually in love with her and the hours of the day that you don't hang out with me you are with her and all your friends."

"Carmen honey, you're crying about that?" Seamus smiled at her, pulling her into a hug. Whispering in his ear he continued, "Carmen I love you and Ingrid was lying." Then he pulled away from her, holding her at arms length again with a teasing smile on his face, "And as a previous player you know I could get in your pants if I wanted to without a problem." Carmen smiled through her tears and backhanded him in the chest without any force behind it.

"Behave Seamus," Carmen frowned then, "and way to make me feel stupid for being upset about this."

"Sorry darling," Seamus joined her in frowning. "But you know I love you and I can't believe that after everything Ingrid has said to you that this is what bothers you."

"Well sorry for feeling this way," Carmen muttered, throwing her hands up in the air between the two of them. Seamus continued to frown, knowing she still was feeling like what Ingrid had said was true. "Will you go away know that you know what she said?" 

"No I will not, because you are an idiot Carmen," Seamus looked at her with his loving eyes, wanting to convey that to her. "You really can be an idiot."

"Thanks," Carmen growled, turning away from him and trying to walk away. He didn't let her get away. Instead he wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled her back to him. Whispering in her ear since she was that close he told her what he had to say.

"Carmen listen to me, Ingrid is just jealous. She doesn't approve of me and she really doesn't approve of the fact that I am dating a loser. Don't say anything, I don't think of you as a loser. I think of you as the beautiful young lady that you are who is always caring and sweet. There's no way in hell I would want to date anyone but you. I love you and I don't see myself stop loving you anytime soon. Don't listen to her ever again. Ever."

"Oh how sweet," a voice behind them sneered. Seamus felt Carmen freeze and straighten up, same as he did. Except he was angry at the person behind him, angry at her for putting his girl in this state. "Such a loving moment between the loser and the ever so popular basketball player. How does it feel to have such a loving moment that only lasts for a few minutes before he leaves you?" Carmen didn't answer Ingrid, she didn't even try to turn around. Seamus didn't force her to either, and wasn't willing to let go of her so he didn't turn to face Ingrid in his anger.

"Carmen, ignore her remember," Seamus warned, turning his head slightly but not his body. Ingrid was far enough away that she couldn't hear what they were whispering. Seamus raised his voice so Ingrid could hear what he said next. "Ingrid you need to leave Carmen alone. You know that she's mine so respect that and back off."

Ingrid didn't even stay in the room any longer, knowing that her blow to Carmen had shaken her to the core. Ingrid really was an evil bitch to Carmen.

"Now Carmen," Seamus turned his attention to Carmen once Ingrid left. "What have you to say for yourself?"

"So you don't go and hang out with her?" Carmen whispered quietly, feeling ashamed for asking. She just had to know though.

"I have hung out with her when I'm out with my jocky friends as you put it that you don't like. I have never hung out with her alone since I broke up with her two years ago though. Happy?"

"I suppose so, but if I find out your lying...."

"You're going to send your leopard after me?" Seamus smiled, spinning Carmen around to face him.

"Exactly," she smiled. 

"I'm so scared," Seamus chuckled, pulling her even closer to him.

"You should be," she whispered as Seamus stole a kiss from her. 

"Oh I am, now what do you say about skipping school for the rest of the day?" Seamus murmured against her lips, grazing them before he stole another kiss.

"Hmm, let's get out of here," Carmen smiled happily, twining her fingers in his.

"Let us go you beautiful girl, and never use the excuse of," Seamus took on her tone of voice in a mocking way as he repeated exactly what she had said to him, "have you ever had one of those days where no one has done anything wrong to you, yet you just want to punch them in the face anyway? I'm there." Carmen hit him with their entwined hands as they walked out of the classroom and towards the school exit. 

"Behave," Carmen smiled. He could mimic almost anyone perfectly and it was a fun game that they played so often.

"My house or yours?" he inquired when they reached his car.

"Mine has the big screen so mine of course," Carmen stated like it was a stupid question. 

"I figured, but it's polite to ask and you know it." Seamus replied, opening the passenger's door for Carmen and helping her in before going around to the other side. Once he was in the car and driving out of the parking lot, definitely speeding, he continued, "So are we watching Action or Romance?"

"You're choice, long as I don't have to go back to school today," Carmen stated. 

"Action then."

"You got it."
