Break The Best Friends

Chapter 58

That day when I had broken down and had started crying on the side pavement, on my way back home, I knew that I looked like a mess and that I couldn't go back home looking like that, so I had just walked to a park close to my house and had sat there. Only to be confronted there by Theo and River, who had seen me walking inside the park and since they saw the tears in my eyes, they had followed me inside.

I didn't think that there was anything for me to benefit by lying to them and telling them that I was fine, so I had told them the truth, the entire truth. And soon after I had finished my rant, they had called all our other friends and had informed them about the situation. In the next few minutes, my friends were all in front of me, discussing what should be done now and seeing if there was something that can be done to make Luke's anger go away.

I gave up on all their ideas though. It would never work. I know Luke. He was a very stubborn boy, he would never even consider on giving me another chance after all the hurt that I had put him through. I know he wouldn't.

I had thanked all my friends for their input, but had told them that this was something that I had to be doing on my own and they had instantly understood why I wanted to be alone in this. I appreciated their concern and efforts, I really did, but this mess between me and Luke, I created it and I have to be the one to clear it as well.

The next few days had passed away without any improvement between Luke and me. He was still sitting with all of us lunch, like usual, but he was not even looking at me the whole time. He usually looks the other way when someone was addressing me and will look at his plate when I was talking. Or he just gets involved in a serious looking conversation with someone on our table, probably to avoid even looking at me.

It felt very real having him not talk with me. I started wondering if I had lost him completely. This was what I was scared of. I was afraid that my feelings would spoil our friendship, it did spoil it, but in a completely different way than that I imagined it to do the spoiling. My best friend was behaving more like a stranger to me now.

Today was the fourteenth of February. To others it was Valentine's day, but to me the only thing that struck me this morning was that it was Luke's birthday. I wanted to do something special for him, something that would make him forgive me. Even if he didn't love me anymore, even if he didn't want to be my boyfriend anymore, I wanted him to at least be my best friend. I cannot survive without him and he knows that too.

"Hey, there," Theo and Kyra said together showing up on my either side as I walked out of the car and towards our group of friends.

"Hey," I greeted them, bumping my shoulder slightly with Kyra's, "What are you both planning for today? You know, since it's your first Valentine's day together."

"I don't know," Kyra shrugged, nodding her head towards Theo who was on my other side, "Ask him. He said he wanted to take me somewhere but he wouldn't tell me where."

Theo scoffed, rolling his eyes at her, "Oh, forgive me, for wanting everything to be a surprise."

"You are forgiven," she said, rolling her eyes back at him in return.

"I swear, just when I think that you cannot amuse me anymore, you go ahead and prove me wrong," I smiled at them and as soon as we reached our friends who were all waiting in the parking lot, I turned to look at them, "Guys, listen," I called out their attention and immediately had it.

River, Luke and Nova were still not here, which was a good thing because I don't have a lot of time to execute what I had been thinking to do. Luke will be here any time soon and I have to do my thing before he reaches school. Someone can fill in on everything to Nova and River once after they arrived.
