I'm fuming, why the hell would she cheat on me. Tyler, he doesn't even fucking know what's coming for him. I'm walking down the hall, trying to find Tyler, what is there problem.
It didn't really feel real when the words left Jake's mouth but know I'm really hurt, I feel broken, I can't fucking feel like that though because I'm Brody Williams.
I find Tyler and he looks scared as shit, I run into him and shove him to the ground.
"What the fuck dude?" He yells. He pushed himself up with his arms, his face is full of fear but he tries to cover it up with confidence. I pound his gut and then his jaw, I hear a clicking noise come from his jaw, after I feel satisfied and shove his shoulders to the ground. I don't think I've ever been this angry.
"Stay the fuck away from me and anyone I talk to you!!" I yell at him with rage.
"You got that?!"
"Yeah okay I do" he wailed holding his jaw.
"Brody, to my office NOW!" Mr. Collins the school principal yells. I back away from Tyler and take a scan around me. Half of the school is staring at me, most girls. I let out a bitter laugh and start walking to the principals office knowing what's coming for me. Let's just say it won't look good on my university application.
Opening the door to the office causes my heart to ache more.
What has happened.
Mr. Collins gestures his hand to the seat in front of him. I plop down and put my head in my hands slowly shaking it.
"What is wrong with you?" He slams his desk causing me to shoot up.
"I don't know" I mumble.
"You know that boy is now very injured because of you, right?" He says and I can't tell if he is mad.
"He deserved it" I mutter clenching my fists.
"Well Brody this isn't acceptable here, I don't want to have to suspend you but people can complain if I don't" I just laugh.
"Are you kidding me, everyone's going to be pleased that Brody Williams is now single" I laugh rolling my eyes, trying to make any kind of joke now.
"Brody, this is serious" he gives me a stern look.
"Yeah, yeah I know" I slide down into my chair.
"I could suspend you for two days but what's the point of that? You've never really gotten into trouble before and I hope this won't happen again" he says looking through his papers on his desk. See the thing is I've always been pretty close to the principal and I guess it kinda pays off
"Yeah, try and be on my best behaviour" I laugh standing up.
"Take the rest of the day off, you might need it" he waves me out.
"Thanks" I force a smile and walk out. He's right, I really do need a break, I still haven't fully processed what has happened. I walk to my locker grabbing my black nike backpack and remember to send Blair a text before I leave school.

Blair

Blair

I ruffly shove my phone into my pocket getting into my car. I plop down into the driver seat of my car. I don't put the keys in ignition yet.
"Fuck!" I yell pounding my steering wheel. Tears blur my vision, but I let a couple fall before wiping them away. Four years wasted. Everything I did was for her, I spent my money on her, I made my friends unhappy for her, I made changes in my life for her. It was all for her.
My phone starts buzzing in my pocket, I pull it out declining the call before throwing it at the passenger seat. I wait in my car for about two more minutes and my phone goes off again. I grab it, and answer.
"What?" I raise my voice.
"Hey" Jake voice. I take a breath before answering.
"Hi" I press my head against the steering wheel.
"You okay?"
"No" I answer honestly letting out a shaky laugh.
"Figured" I can picture him skating his head. A short silence went over the phone.
"Well if you need me, I can come home with you if you want"
"Jake, don't get all romantic on me now" I say sitting up.
"Sorry it's a habit" he laughs over the line.
"I think I'll be fine" I mumble
"Okay, text me later" he says letting out a breathe.
"Yeah, bye"
"Bye" and I hang up. I put the keys in and start driving to my house. I turn the music down all the way, just wanting it to be quiet and alone.
***
After a forty minute drive I'm back at my house laying in my bed, my head shoved into my pillow. I've gotten several texts messages from mostly girls saying there "sorry", most of them I sent a quick thanks or I'll be alright. It's actually kinda creepy that they're saying sorry, it's not like someone died, my girlfriend just cheated on me. I let out a loud groan sitting up. My phone buzzes.

Blair
Hey um, I just found out what happened, and wow, anyways I'm coming home now and we can talk about it when I get home, are you still going to take me and my friends to the movies? It's okay if you don't want too xx
Brody
Hey, it's fine, I promised remember? See you when you get home
Blair
Okay, love you
Brody
Love you

I wait about fifteen minutes until Blair gets home, I'm still sitting on my bed, then I hear Blair knock on the door to the basement.
"Yeah" I yell. I hear the door creak open and close then feet patter down the stairs.
"Hey" Blair takes a seat on my bed.
"Hey" I force a smile.
"Are you okay?" She scoots closer. I just shrug me shoulders looking at the wall. She leans towards me crushing me into a hug. Her arms wrap around me neck and I quickly wrap mine around her back.
"I'm sorry" she mumbles.
"It's not your fault" I whisper closing my eyes. She signs hugging me tighter. Tears start to form in my eyes but I blink them away.
"You should go get ready for the movies, were leaving in like a hour" I say looking at her.
"Yeah, I'll be upstairs" she smiles and I smile back. She hops off my bed and trots upstairs.
"Oh yeah and Brody?" She calls.
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
