We sit down at the table and eat dinner in silence. It's awkward and you can even touch the tension in the air because it's so thick. I cant stay mad at her forever. But she did break up our family. Nicole, my sister, the one who caused our parents to divorce and has been jealous ever since we split because I got to go with my mother. My mother who is in a coma. Even though it was her who put her there.
"Okay. Tell me what else there is you have to tell me. Don't think I won't be mad. You put mom in the hospital. It was you! This time you can't blame me. You always did so don't try to wiggle your way out of this one. Explain." I said firmly.
"Okay. Remember when you and Brent broke up for a bit because you thought he was cheating?" I immediately tense up. All I can do is nod. "Well, I kind of had a little thing with him. I swear it was little."
"What did you do." I tried my best to stay calm but I couldn't. I repeated myself and yelled this time.
"I..I..." she stumbles for words. "We kind of made out? But we did not do it! I swear! I knew he was your boyfriend but... I had a crush on him and he told me he liked me and he was using you to get to me." The words gush out of her mouth.
I can't speak. I can't yell. I can't cry. I can't do anything I'm stuck in the moment. Everything is in slow motion. I walk over and get my jacket and walk out. That's when the tears fall. He doesn't love me. He never did.
A car door slams in the driveway and I see Brent. My car is parked at the end of the drive way. Unfortunately we are going to cross paths. It's inevitable.
I shove past him and slam into his shoulder. Holy sh*t that hurt. I keep walking. He pulls my arm out of my pocket and looks into my eyes. I stare back with an intensity. His questioned expression makes me laugh and he stays like that.
"You think I wouldn't find out? I would find out eventually." I said almost spitting the words right at him.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I scoff. "Is your sister here? What did she tell you?" pfft. that makes it obvious that he knows about something with her.
"Oh she just told me about your little affair. Now I know you don't like me. I know you were just using me for her. Am I right?" I say softly, worrying I might break down.
"I never said that!" He shouts loudly moving closer to me. "I came here to tell you that your in danger. It's Nate. He wants you back badly. He still has feelings for you and that's why we were fighting. Sarah, hes going to hurt you"
So could see the fear in his eyes and I believe him. I try to swallow the lump in my throat but I can't so I just nod. He takes his arm and wraps it around my waist. The tears have already stopped.
He pulls me in close. My chest rises and falls with shallow breaths as he kisses me. Suddenly one of his hands grasp my wait and bring us closer as he deepens the kiss. It's soft and.... and sweet. Again he fails trying to get any closer to me.
I pull away from the kiss knowing we are standing in the middle of the driveway. He gives me a confused look and I take his hand and walk towards my car. He pulls away.
"I'm sorry." I stare at him intensely wondering if I was right. Why would he kiss me and then tell me? It doesn't make sense.
"It's.... It's true." I knew it. My jaw dropped but I forced myself to clench it. I wouldn't let myself cry. Not after being embarrassed in front of him. I just decide to walk to my car and go visit my mother.
