You & I « Motough

Chapter 17

Bethany felt as if her life was coming to a end, her body didn't want to move, she spent most days locked away in my room.

Valentines Day was coming along quickly, and not talking to Derek in song long made her feel more depressed than before.

After showering and doing her hair, Bethany did her make-up then walked into her closet pulling on her High-waisted shorts with a white lace flowy crop top. She laced up her white keds and grabbed her purse.

Once in her car, she drover over to the house she hasn't been to for over a month now..

Bethany knocked on the front door lightly.

She took a deep breath when Mark opened it, she smiled softly walking inside.

"Is Derek here?" Bethany asked, setting her bag on the counter.

"Actually, he's been in New York for a while.." Mark nodded.

"Oh well, I know who should be your Valentine this year.." Bethany smiled cheekily.

"Oh there goes that smile.." Mark chuckled. "But who?"

"Witney.."

"Witney?"

"That girl has been in love with you for the longest time! Just ask her out. I'm tired of listening to her talk about how much she like you.."

Mark nodded with a smile before hugging Bethany and grabbing his phone.

"Give me a minute.."

Bethany nodded and smiled watching Mark go into the other room. She heard a car door close then heard the front being unlocked.

Derek came face to face with Bethany, they both stayed quiet for a minute until he spoke up.

"Uh, hey.." He said, setting his bags down.

"Hello.." Bethany crossed her arm.

"What are you doing here?" Derek looked around the room.

"Just had to help Mark with something.."

"Bethany, you know I'm sorry right?" Derek took a step closer to her.

Bethany took a step back and sighed. "How am I suppose to believe you.. You said you love me but now that you say it, there's just a vacant space there.."

"I hurt you, and I know that.. Do you know how it hurts to know you liked me best friend?"

"Derek, it doesn't even come near to how much you hurt me.. You have 3 c's in your life babe. Choice. Chance. Change. Once your figure those three out.. Come and find me."

Bethany grabbed her bag then walked towards the door practically shaking.

"Mark, I'll see you at the party!" Bethany yelled, making her way out the door.

Bethany was dressed in a long white flowly dress that was embezzled with gold patterns on the top. She added red pumps and some jewelry then light makeup.

Witney: MARK ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND! IS THIS LIFE? HOLY CRAP, BETHANY I'M NOT FEEL ALRIGHT.

Bethany laughed, shaking her head as she grabbed her clutch and keys.

Bethany: I know Witney , he told me he was going to ask you out. :)

Bethany checked the time from the clock on her wall. 7:45. Crap.

She jumped into her car then started making her way to downtown LA.

Janel: were are you love?

Bethany: 5 minutes.. time me!
