Forever and always

Chapter 9

Sky's PoV
'I'm dating Daniel.'
That's the text I got from katty. The most puzzling words, and she didn't even care to explain. I texted back a million times, 'huh?' 'Is this a joke?' 'Please reply' but I got no answer. I've never been more hurt, my BEST friend took away the one guy that I really liked.

I cried tissues and tissues to a pulp. I sat in my room all day, just staring at my phone. Nina came over and I had a shoulder to shed more tears on. She hated what katty did and so did I, but later I realised that I was the problem, the selfish one, they both liked each other and I had no right to come in their way.
Nina and I spoke about the party night, and it didn't make sense. Why he just hurt me like that? Why did he lead me on?
I didn't go to school for 3 days, I told Nina that I just needed to clear my head, I even ignored a billion calls from brian, but the truth was that I couldn't face katty or daniel.

It was a Wednesday and I got ready for school, It was a bright day but I loathed it. I told my mom to drop me to school. my mom and I were of the same nature, when we were sad we just wanted to be left alone so my mom didnt say much on the way to school.

"Honey whatever happens remember that I love you" my mom said as I got out of the car.
I nodded, gave her a fake smile and shut the car door.

After 10 minutes of waiting I finally went inside towards my locker.

"Sky?" Brian saw me enter and ran towards me.

"Oh hi brian" I stammered

"So what happend? I called but you didn't reply?"

"Umm nothing" I was avoiding him because I couldn't help but cry whenever someone asked me that.
I walked towards my maths class briskly but Brian didn't quit.

"Hey hey hey, don't avoid me" he said, stopping me.
I just stared straight and my eyes became moist, Brian looked up to see why I reacted like that and saw Daniel cuddling katty, pecking her on the cheek. I couldn't help it, I burst out into tears and ran in the opposite direction, outside the school door. As soon as I reached, I sat on the floor,with tears rolling down my eyes. To hide my tears I covered my face in my palms but the tears didn't stop. Little did I know, that Brian was behind me.

"Sky what happend?" Brian was startled.

" I c-can't see that Brian, I really like him" I sobbed.
"Sky look at me" he said as he wrapped his arms around my body, Making me stand.
"Stop crying and tell me exactly what happend, I can't see you like this"

"It's Daniel, how could he? I like him so much and katty knows that, why would she do this to me?" I cried even more.

Brian's expressions changed, I didn't understand why he reacted that way, it was like he lost hope.

"Sky I'll help you but first I need you to STOP crying"

"How?" I started wiping my tears.

"I know Danny likes you, I don't know why he'd do this but if u really want to be with him, I have an idea"
"We'll date okay? Don't worry, we'll pretend to date. Knowing him, he'll die of jealousy and he'll know what a jewel he lost." Brian gave me a smile.

"No, katty likes him and vice versa" I couldn't do that to her.

"Oh don't give me such bullshit, it's time to take what's yours and I've seen how katty treats you"
He protested.

"Sky he's right" I heard nina's voice.
"Sorry for sneaking up on ull like that, but I saw u crying and couldn't help but come here. I heard everything that Brian said and he's completely right. Katty took him and now it your turn to fight back." Nina said as she came and stood near me.

"Uhh I don't know" I didn't like this.

" No ifs and buts, katty may know you for longer than I have but I definitely am a better friend. You and Daniel were good, she's done something. The tables can't turn like this. Whatever, we are doing this" Nina commanded.

She was right. Katty has known me for years but Nina has been a better friend and I did like Daniel, maybe she's right, I've gotta fight back.

"Okay" I smiled and suddenly I felt better.

"Brian you're the best, I can't believe you'd do this for me" I jumped and hugged him tight, he hugged my tighter. But it felt different from his side, like he was disappointed.
