Best Friends? |fin.+edit.|

•Chapter 14•

Mack's POV

I slowly started walking back home since my house was only a few blocks away. About halfway there, it started raining.

"REALLY?!" I yelled to no one in particular. I increased my pace and before I knew it I was home. I walked up to my room and stripped out of my wet clothes, putting on a random shirt and shorts.

I climbed into my bed and pulled the covers over myself. When I was about to fall asleep, I heard something hit my window. I got out of bed and moved the curtains out of the way to see Mikey standing on the ground with an umbrella.

"What do you want?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Please forgive me Mack. I love you and only you. Chrissy doesn't mean anything to me." He pleaded.

"It doesn't change the fact that what happened, happened. So please leave me alone." I said.

"Mack please." Mikey begged.

"I'm sorry but I can't forgive you so easily. It's gonna take some time. You were my best friend and I trusted you to not break my heart when you asked me out but you did anyways. I need time to think about this and maybe you can find someone else." I sighed. Tears rolled down my face. "Goodnight Mikey." I shut the window and got back into bed. I felt bad about doing this but I needed time.

I know that we didn't date for a long time but he was my best friend for years and because of his one mistake, my trust for him was starting to crumble down. I didn't know if I could trust him again. What I do know is that this won't be easily fixed. It'll take time and I'm not sure if I will ever forgive him.

Why do I always have to overthink things. Why can't life just be easy for me. I guess that's just the way it is.

~9 months later~

It's been nine months since that night. I don't talk to him anymore but I see him around school. We just avoid eye contact.

I still talk to the guys and girls of course and I started talking to Chloe again for a while. Well that's until her and Mikey started dating. Shocking right?

Victoria and Madison are still dating and their the cutest couple ever. Nick and Jill broke up after about 5 months of daring but are still really great friends. As for Vanessa and Vinny, Vanessa moved to Florida with her parents two months after they started dating and they broke up after a month because they couldn't handle long distance. Louis is dating a girl named Hannah and they've been dating for about 2 and a half months now.

Back to Mikey and Chloe, they've been dating for about 4 months. And the worst part? They became part of the popular crew with Chrissy. Chrissy's new boyfriend, Bennet and his friends Josh, Alec, and Tony are part of that crew now.

It hurts to see Chloe and Mikey together since they were both my best friends and Chloe started acting like a jerk when she joined the popular group.

And Mikey? I still love him. But whenever I see him and Chloe around school, they're always holding hands or kissing and doing couple things. It hurts and I always have to look away when I see either of them or I'll cry.

It's crazy to think that less than a year ago, Mikey and I were best friends that talked every single day. And now? We don't talk or even make eye contact with each other. He just seems so happy with Chloe.

And honestly, I've forgiven him. I know that I have but there isn't any point in telling him. He's happy now. With Chloe.

I jus wished that I forgave him sooner and told him. Maybe, just maybe, if I did, then I would be the one holding his hand.

The one kissing him on the cheek.

The one getting good morning and good night texts from him.

The one going on cute dates with him.

The one getting to hear him say 'I love you' to me.

The one getting to say 'I love you' to him.

But no. I'm not any of those things.

I'm not the person that gets to hold his hand whenever I want.

I'm not the person that gets to kiss him on the cheek when I want to.

I'm not the person that gets good morning and good night texts from him.

I'm not the person that gets to go on cute dates with him.

I'm not the person that gets to hear him say 'I love you'.

I'm not the person that gets to say 'I love you' back to him.

That person? That person is Chloe.

Not me. And it probably won't ever be me.
