Boarding school

Chapter 28

A/n I don't know how all of the reads jumped up but thank you guys!
(Gage.)
"Okay, favorite song?" Dani questioned as I pulled into Lee and Trent's driveway. We had kind of just started asking each other questions on the way back.
"Wonder wall, By Oasis." I answered, shifting into park. "What about your's?" I asked her. "Mmmm, either Tim McGraw by Taylor Swift, or I miss you by Blink 182." She told me, unbuckling her seatbelt.
"I can honestly say, I've never heard either of those songs." I smirked and she rolled her eyes. "Maybe your'e deprived of good music." She said.
We both walked up the driveway and into the house. "You wanna watch a movie or something?" I asked her when we walked through the living room.
I had almost forgotten about the Kenzie thing, but I was carrying it like major guilt.
All of a sudden I heard arguing and saw Trent, Lee, Logan, Lola, Alex, and Kenzie all in the main room. Everyone's eyes were on us and Alex and Kenzie.
Alex and Kenzie were arguing and everybody's facial expressions were almost scared. "Alex, Listen!" Kenzie begged him. "No, I can't believe I came here for this." He shook his head pushing past us and walking out the door.
"What's going on?" Dani asked me quietly. Kenzie went to go after him, but turned around. "Does Dani know about last night? What happened?" Kenzie asked crossing her arms.
Crap.
No.
No.
"What happened?" Dani repeated. Then, her eyes widened in realization. "Yeah." Kenzie confirmed going after Alex. She was just mad Alex found out and wanted to ruin it for me..
"Really, Gage!?" Dani yelled, turning around and running up the stairs. I had really done it now.
I was standing in the living room now, alone. But everyone's eyes were on me from the kitchen.
"Dude what happened?" Trent asked as I walked over to them. Lola already knew, I didn't know if Logan did or not. Lee looked kind of angry.
"I screwed up." I shrugged, but they already knew what that meant. They knew who I was before this. Trent sighed, Lola shook her head disappointed. "Really, Gage?" Lee repeated Dani in a softer tone.
"Dude, Dani isn't one of those girls." Logan said putting emphasis on "those". "I know, I know." I said not wanting to talk about it.
Because I'm pretty sure I lost my girlfriend, the one I actually cared about.
(Dani.)
I sobbed into the pillow, I hated crying and over a guy. We had been together for like a day. But we had been close for like a month or two, and Gage was my best friend.
How could he sleep with Kenzie? Not only did he cheat on me, but that broke up Kenzie and Alex. Not that I cared as much.
For about twenty minutes they left me alone, which was nice. I needed the time to get the crying out. In a way I didn't want Gage to come, but I guess I did. I hated that.
The door creaked open after I had washed my face and I just was lying down on the bed thinking. It was Logan..? Thankfully I wasn't crying anymore.
"Hey." He said cooly taking a seat on the bed. I had very few friends, Gage obviously being the closest, then Logan and Lola were close since I didn't have many others.
"Hey." I said firmly. I was sitting up straight now so I could face him, I was still in the dress but I'm sure the make up faded.
"Did you know about this?" I asked him, crossing my arms. He shook his head "No. I'm mad too." He said leaning his elbow on his lap.
"Really?" I managed to giggle a little. "Yeah, he's my best friend and I hate to see him screw up. When he acted like this before it really messed up our friendship. I don't want him like this again.." Logan trailed looking distant.
"Yeah, well I thought I meant something." I said leaning my head back and trying to find a positive side. "You do." He told me.
"I don't know, I know that people say that I mean something to him but you don't cheat when you feel that way." I told him looking straight into his eyes.
"Dani, you really do. He used to treat Marigold like crap to be honest. Same with Kenzie sometimes and that Ashley chick. He wouldn't tell them anything, with you...he does." He told me.
I didn't know if he was just vouching for his best friend, or if he had been nice to Marigold and Kenzie and Ashley...would it have worked out with them?
"I don't know.." I trailed. "Think about it." Logan reassured me, stepping out of the room. I could hear him mutter something and then someone else came in.
Gage.
He looked like a mess, his hair was ruffled around and I felt it hard to look at him the same.
"Dani I-" he started "What? You slept with Kenzie. I know this, when we were dating. The night we got together. What are you gonna say?" I asked him sounding a lot harsher than I meant to.
"I was gonna say sorry, I was thinking of you-" he started saying but I interrupted him with sarcastic laughter. "Oh my gosh."
"Dani, will you listen to me!?" He demanded sounding annoyed. "I don't know it just sounds like Bs!" I exclaimed throwing my hands up.
"Okay, because it's just a bunch of bull shi-" he stopped himself when I buried my head in my hands. I felt so upset again.
He let out a sigh, "Dani, I know your angry but I'm sorry. You scare me because your'e the first girl I care about. I really, really like you. I guess I was drunk, and stupid, and scared, and I slept with Kenzie to get it out of my system. I'm sorry." He told me.
He was scared of me? But he still cheated, and I couldn't just jump into forgiving him because he was drunk.
"I don't know, Gage." I sighed looking up into his light brown eyes. "Think about it, please. For me?" He asked sounding the same as Logan.
I nodded but wouldn't look at him, I felt stupid and hated that I was in this situation.

I waited until around 11pm to get something to eat. I didn't want anymore awkward encounters.
I made sure to be quiet, only Lee and Lola were in the kitchen. I braced myself, there was pizza in the kitchen.
I grabbed a huge slice and stood by the counter with them.
"How are you?" Lola asked me. I just shrugged. "I know, he was being stupid. So was Kenzie. I haven't seen much of any of you guys" Lee told me.
I nodded and sighed "Yeah, it is what it is." I told her even though I didn't feel that way. I wanted Gage, only him.
"I'll be honest,It's not easy forgiving the person who cheated on you...I did and I've been with him for 5 years now." She said with a small smile.
"Trent cheated on you!?" I asked astonished. She nodded, "Yeah...when we were 17. We had been together for two years..I forgave him and look at us now." She told me.
I wanted to believe Lee and use her perfect relationship as a model, but should I?
"All I'm saying is that Gage is worth it." She told me. "Thank you, so much." I told her, I felt a little better about that but I still needed to think about it.
