With sweaty palms I slid my phone into my pocket and leaned against the car. A tear fell from my eyes just wondering what Josh's reaction would be. I couldn't live without him, I loved him. I walked into the coffee shop and sat at an empty table in the corner. I rested my head on my forearm.

"What have I done?" I whispered as another tear ran down my face.

**3 months before**

"Kennedy!"

"Holley?!" I shrieked. I soon felt arms wrap around mine tightly. I looked down to find little ole Holley cheesing up at me.

Holley was short, like she hasn't reached 5 feet yet. She had long bright blonde hair and almond shaped hazel brown eyes. She had braces on her teeth and plump pink lips. She has been my best friend since kindergarten. The beginning of sophomore year she had to move to New York with her dad. She promised me she would come back after her dad's financial crisis was solved. We stayed in touch but she never told me when she was coming back.

"Oh gosh K, I'm missed hugging your tall self!" She tightened her arms around me.

"I could say the same about you and when did you get your hair so long?" I ran my fingers through a part of her hair.

"Oh that?" She giggled admiring her self. " I used that main and tail stuff, it really works. But enough of that guess what, K?"

"What" I said gathering my bag from the picnic table.

"I'm moving back," She shouted, "for good!" we were seniors now.

We walked back to my house while she explained why she didn't come back right away. She thought it would be better just to start senior year here than just leaving right in the middle of the school year. I agreed. When we got to my house my parents were all over her. Asking how she was, did she like the big city, how was her dad ect..

"So many people have missed you. Including Dylan-" I started to say and then stopped when she looked upset.

"I didn't want to leave on those terms. After I left I didn't communicate with him at all. I felt so bad, K. I told him that I would never cheat and then I just do him like that."

"Holley you didn't cheat, I was at the party you were drugged and I'm not sure he knows that, you'll have to find out. Talk to him." I put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yea speaking of hell," she giggled "I've gotta get going. Gotta do a lot of things." We hugged one last time and she left.

As I was getting in the shower I noticed something on my underwear. A bloodstain. "Great." I took a quick shower and headed to bed. Before I closed my eyes, my phone buzzed. It was a text from Josh, my boyfriend.

Mon. 8:27
** Josh
Hey babe I just wanted to say goodnight let u know I was thinking abt u. ;*
** Kennedy
So sorry I didn't text u, Holley surprised me while I was doing some studying in the park.
** Josh
Oh babe I'm so happy, hey u think ur parents are asleep?
** Kennedy
Of course, why?

"Knock knock" I quickly turned on the light looking over to my window.

"Josh, I wish you would have told me you were coming." I whispered as I opened the window. He crawled in side and grabbed my waist.

"Where's the fun in that lil ma?" He kissed me as his hands wandered my body. When he found the end of my shirt, he slipped his cold hands underneath and felt my sides. A slight moan escaped my mouth before he could kiss me again.

"Oh don't do that, I get turned on" He smiled. His smile was so breathtaking. Every time he kissed me I couldn't breathe, I was so lucky to have him. Most importantly my parents approved him as my boyfriend since he's black. Every girl wanted him but I have him, he's mine.

"So tell me about this Holley girl." He patted his lap for me to sit there. That's why I loved him. He wasn't all about sex, even though we have done it before, he didn't come see me just for that.
-------------------------
"What time is it lil ma?" He stroked my hair. "Ugh, I don't want you to go but we need sleep." I reached up and gave him a kiss. He rolled out of the bed and climbed out the window.

"I love you, see you tomorrow." He kissed me then ran off. I looked at the time, it was 10 pm. Even though it wasn't that late I wanted to get some rest so I decided to go to sleep.

I got up the next morning, surprised that I wasn't that sleepy, and threw on the outfit I had planned to wear. I had some white high waisted pants that showed off my butt. A pastel blue-green crop top that I tucked into the pants. I slipped on my white Jordan's with the same color out line. Then I put a thin layer of black eyeliner with a wing and mascara.

"Are you taking the car?" My mom asked handing me orange juice. "Um, nah I'll walk thanks though." I called out grabbing my keys and hooking them to my belt loop.

As I walked out I slipped in one headphone and played my music. I looked across the street and saw that Dylan was walking too.

"HEY DYLAN!" I yelled. He looked over and smiled. "Want some company?" I said running to him.

"I mean your already here, I've missed you K." He said looking down.

"Man it's been awhile hasn't it? Have you talked to Holley at all since-" he cut me off

"No." He said in a stern voice and looked at me. His eyes were full of anger and hatred. "I don't plan on talking to her either, she cheated on me. I saw the pictures." He threw his backpack over his shoulder in anger.

"Hey wait a minute you have no idea what happened you saw a dumb picture, and honestly I'm not even sure it was her! She was going through something at the time and didn't know how to even deal with her self. Just talk to her about it please" I said walking slower so now I was behind him.

"But that's the thing, she should have told me I could have helped her. But instead she didn't tell me anything for a while. I don't want to talk to her K." He trailed off and picked up his pace.

"Tell her that! Not me!" I wanted to yell out but I bit my tongue and continued walking.

When I got in my class I noticed Dylan was in there too. I thought about what he had just said. I sat far from him, but I could see his face full of embarrassment and anger when Holley walked in.
