Wes's Pov:

I left Meera's house absolutely pissed.

She unblocked him, willingly let him back into her life. Am I some kind of joke to her?

Why the actual fuck would she do that?

I can't believe she thinks six years of friendship trumps the fact that he fucked her over like that.

It's enraging. He only wants her as a back up and she's fucking okay with it.

She defended him so I called her a desperate bitch. That was fucked up on my part but in the moment she deserved it.

I drove off to a small restaurant near our school and found a group to hang out with till I felt better.

My mind kept wandering to her but I needed to stop. She obviously doesn't care about me now that James is back.

When I head back to the house, her entire houses's lights are off and a car is pulling out of her driveway. It passed me and I recognized it as her Aunts car.

The urge to go check up on Meera if she was still there weighed me down.

I pushed through them and went into my house.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Meera walked into the classroom the next morning and went up to the teacher before she set her stuff down.

"Okay sounds good and drop by in half an hour," The teacher said.

"Okay, thank you!" Meera replied and ran out the door.

What is going on?

The next thirty minutes are the slowest minutes of my life. A knock interrupted the boring lesson and I thanked God.

Someone opened the door and in came Meera and Cassidy.

Cassidy? How is she here?

Oh she's probably transferring. Meera did mention her family was planning on moving.

They both sat in the back and talked to the teacher for a while before leaving. Cassidy shot me a glare as she walked out. I noticed that Meera's eyes were puffy and red.

Business was boring as usual, I spent about an hour and a half doing absolutely nothing to prepare for the final exam in that class.

Physics was a different deal. Meera was still darting in and out of class but after a few times they just took a desk in the back.

We needed a partner for the rest of the class work and since I wasn't on talking terms with Meera, I just turned to Sarah who was across the room.

I could feel Cassidy and Meera's gaze on me, part of me wanted to go and talk to them but it wasn't my job to. If she wanted to fix things she could come do it herself.

History was worse because Meera sat in the back with Jake and Cassidy. Every time I looked back, they were all laughing and giggling, passing Jake's phone back and forth.

After school, I headed straight to the soccer field and spent extra time taking all my frustrations out on the ball. Anything to get my mind off of how James talked to her.

"You're quite early Griffin," coach remarked as he set down his bags of gear. "How's Meera? Will she be joining us today?"

"She's uh, good and probably not." I said hesitantly, taking a shot at the unguarded goal.

The entire practice I overworked my ass off only for Cassidy to storm up to me and yell off an ear.

"Are you fucking demented? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Me? What the fuck is wrong with her? Why would she unblock him?" I retorted.

"Fuck you Wes. She didn't need whatever bullshit you said last night. Whatever you even said was wrong."

"You don't know what I said?" I questioned.

"No. She wouldn't tell me without cr" Cassidy stopped. "Not that you care, anyways."

Crying.

"Wes you didn't have to be such a fucking asshole. She doesn't want him back in her life romantically. He talked to me about it too and James doesn't have bad intentions this time."

"Cassidy, it was nice talking to you but I'm not interested anymore. I don't want to be with her if he's still going to be in her life. I don't care how much she doesn't talk to him, he shouldn't be in her life, period. I don't give a fuck if she wants to keep that friendship. That friendship didn't deserve her but she doesn't realize that."

I spun and made my way to my car and drove off.
