Because of You

U&I

Verns POV

I woke up to my phone buzzing. I looked up and realized how late it was. Then I remembered what I had to do today and I decided to stay in bed a little longer. I looked at my phone to see two messages:

Jesse ❤️

Good Morning Beautiful :)Do you want to do something today?

--------------------------------------

George

Hey we are still meeting up today?

I sigh and reply to George's text telling him to meet me at the park by my house at 1:00. I get up and hop in the shower trying to relax the anxiety I was feeling. I got out and looked for an outfit. I tried to look as terrible as possible since I didn't wanna look good while I broke his heart. I put on my black joggers, a white muscle tee, and some nikes. I threw my hair into a messy bun and left it at that. I didn't bother to put on any makeup. When I looked in the mirror I cringed. I looked like a literal piece of trash. I walked outside and hopped into my car. I drove to the park extremely slow, I was dreading this so much.

I pulled into the parking lot and walked towards the swings. I sat there and swung a little until George showed up. He sat next to me and smiled. I returned a miniature one back.

"So I think I know what you're going to say and it's ok." George says.

I was completely taken aback and I didn't know what to say. I just looked down at my feet.

"Do you think we could still be friends?" I asked.

"If I'm being honest no because I'm still in love with you. I've been in love with you ever since I met you and I never stopped. I'm not going to hold this against you but it's just too painful. Everytime I see you my heart hurts."

And with that he walked away.

I didn't even notice I was crying until I got back in the car. I rested my head on the steering wheel and cried. I had been friends with George for such a long time, him and Matty were my best friends since high school. I felt like I ruined everything and I couldn't fix it. I drove home tears still spilling out of my eyes.

Bailey's POV

I was sitting in the kitchen texting Zach when I heard a the door open and close with a loud slam.

"Hello? Is that you Vern?!" I yelled

I heard running up the steps and I followed the sound. I walked in to see Vern sitting on her bed crying. I had actually never seen Vern cry before so I was completely shocked. I ran over to comfort her, and in return she broke down in my arms. I had never seen her hurt this bad. I felt so bad for her when she told me everything. She had been friends with George and Matty for such a long time. I asked if she wanted to come with me to the boys house but she declined. She decided to stay and I could hear the shower start to run as I walked out the door. I hope she'll be ok while I'm gone.

I pulled into the driveway and got out the car. I rang the doorbell and there was Zach at the door. He was wearing a white shirt, black jeans, and vans. Even when he was wearing something simple he looked hot. He smiled and pulled me into the apartment kissing me in the process. I smiled back at him. We sat on the couch and I told him about Vern. He seemed to genuinely feel bad for her and I thought it was so nice of him too. I told him if he wanted to tell Jesse it was ok, Vern liked him anyway so it wasn't a big deal for him to know. After I finished telling him about it he asked if I wanted to go to movies and of course I said yes. I'd go anywhere with him. Zach grabbed a couple things and then we were on our way out.
