My Life

Chapter 10: The Truth

I was surprised they wanted to talk to me. It's been three months since they stopped talking to me. It hurt too they're my best friends. A lot of reasons were running through my head as I walked into the house. I did something wrong was the top reason but the question was what did I do? I was in shock from a few days after Jordan went to jail Mrs. King tried to get me threw the trauma of being choked, dragged down stairs, Elias breaking his nose and how I felt it was all some how my fault. I went to talk to them but that's when they stopped, a tried to confront them but after about a week I gave up.

"You guys can go up to my room I want to talk to my mom first" I said Rose and Chelsea nodded their heads and walked up the stairs. I met my mom in the kitchen I didn't know what I wanted to talk to her about I guess I was trying to stall because I'm afraid of the reason why Chelsea and Rose are mad at me.

"Scarlett how are you?" My mom asked. I shrugged my shoulders I didn't want to cry anymore I know I will never see my best friend again but it just hurts. "Hunny it's okay to cry, I cried when my best friend passed way for days its not something you can just get over" She pulled my into a hug. Tears formed in my eyes but they didn't slip away.  

"Thanks mom" I smiled softly before turning around to go to my room.  

"Hey Scarlett can you tell Elias to come down stairs?" My mom asked before I got the stairs.  

"Sure" I said back I walked to his room knocking on the door.  

"Yeah" Elias said. I opened the door peeking my head threw.  

"Mom wants you down stairs" I looked around his messy room. "You-" I started.

"Yeah my rooms a mess leave me alone" Elias laughed. I smiled walking into my room. I found Rose and Chelsea crying in the middle of the room. Chelsea turned around and Rose looked up when I closed my door.  

"He's really gone" Chelsea whipped her tears with her sleeve. I didn't even feel the tears form they just came out. I nodded my head walking over to where they were standing.  

"Did he really... in your arms?" Rose asked. I nodded my head again.  

"Oh my god" Chelsea cried. Rose pulled us all into a hug which confused me I thought they were mad at me for whatever reason. After awhile we calmed down and instead of crying we laughed! We decided it was better to remember Hanley by all the fun things we did.

"It sure is different going to be different not seeing both the twins" Chelsea frowned.  

"As long as we have Ryan I'm sure everything will be okay" I smiled.  

"Yep" Rose said. I was happy to be talking to them again maybe they forgot why they were even mad at me. I know that would make me feel better but yet again I want to know why they were mad at me what stupid thing did I do this time. When we were younger in elementary they got mad at me really badly. I remember coming home crying to my mom because they wouldn't talk to me. I don't even remember why they were mad at me but the good thing is there still my best friends.

I wanted to bite my tongue but I needed to know, "So um why did you guys stop talking to me and Ryan for such along time?"

Rose and Chelsea's smiles faded. "Oh yeah"  Rose said emotionless. Rose was always the dominate one. I try not to be her clone like Chelsea is that's probably why Chelsea is mad at me Rose put something in her head and she believe her. Chelsea stayed quiet as I looked at both of them waiting for the answer.  

"Why did you put Jordan in jail? If you didn't like him why didn't you break up with him? Jail seems like a pretty rude thing to do" Rose scoffed.  

"That's what you're mad at me for!" I felt the anger rise "That's the stupidest reason to be mad at someone. Someone your best friend!"

"Then you started dating Jayden the loner of the school honestly if I were you I would have stuck with Jordan." Chelsea cut in.

I looked at her more anger rising how dare they talk about Jayden like that! "Jayden is more of a man then Jordan will ever be! Do you think Jordan would have came with me to Hanley's funeral? He was heartless!"  

"Jordan would have came and he was not heartless if you didn't send him to jail I would have dated him" I noticed Chelsea was keeping quiet I hope she realized being Rose's clone isn't so great. I was about to yell something when it hit me they didn't know Jordan was abusive because I was to afraid to tell anyone, and when they found out Jordan went to jail they though I made him go to jail for no reason I guess.  

"Good luck with his abusive side. Sure when I was with him around you he was all lovey you never saw him when we were alone" I whispered I didn't even know if they heard me.  

"He abused you?" Chelsea asked. "Why didn't you ever tell us?"  

"Because he told me if I ever tell anyone he would just hurt me more" The tone in the room lowered. Rose not saying anything meant she felt bad. But really how would I have sent Jordan to jail without a reason? Or do cops just arrest people for no reason anymore? "Did you think I tried to strangle myself that’s why I had the red marks around my neck?"  

"We didn't know what it was we're so sorry Scarlett" Chelsea finally spoke up.  

"Did you ever notice we get mad at each other for the stupidest reasons?" I laughed. Rose nodded her head.  

"We should really stop doing this. Were best friends but the next time how about we tell each other if we have an abusive boyfriend even if were afraid" Rose smiled.  

"Will do" I smiled.  

"I'm sorry what I said about Jayden I mean he used to be really quiet and no one talked to him until you started dating him" Rose hugged me. I hugged her back but I  wasn't going to say it's fine. I polled Chelsea into the hug.  

"Best friends again?" I asked.  

"Best friends forever" Chelsea and Rose smiled.   

"Hey do remember when we were in like kindergarten do you remember the little boy who used to always chance me around the playground?" I wanted to know if they remember it was Jayden.  

"Scars I don't remember seventh grade do you expect me to remember kindergarten?" Rose laughed.   

"I remember you getting chased around but I can't remember who he was he probably moved though. Why?" Chelsea asked.  

"It was Jayden" I smiled.

"Really?" Rose yelled.  

"Yeah I was shocked too when he told me. I felt kind of bad when I started talking to him he was trying to get my to remember because I only remembered him when he first came in fourth grade but really he moved back" Rose and Chelsea had huge smiles plastered on their faces. "What?" I laughed

"He's your soul mate!" They both yelled at the same time. I felt my cheeks get hot.  

"What makes you say that?" I smiled.  

"Come on Scars! He probably had a crush on you when he chased you around. I bet he moved back because he missed you!" Rose yelled.  

"Well he moved in the first place because his parents died then he had to move in with his sister who didn't want him so he had to move back to live with him Aunt and Uncle" I said. He probably forgot about me before he moved back. Rose and Chelsea got quiet.  

"Oh... now I feel bad" Rose lowered her head.  

"It's not like you knew it's fine" I smiled a little.  

The rest of the day we just hung out it felt good hanging out with them again but I'm still a little angry that they were mad at me for that but I pushed it to the back of my head to forget about it. The good thing was I have my three best friends, an amazing boyfriend and my family seems to be turning around even though Adria and my dad still don’t care. Like always as long as I have Elias I'm fine.
