Everything has changed

Chapter 18

"Oh Chloe I kissed him on the cheek like I do to Sebastian Calm down" Charlotte Protested " Your making such a big deal out of nothing"

"Don't tell me to calm down, that's my boyfriend you tried to kiss and it wasn't on the cheek it was the side of his lips that's the problem here"

"It was a peck on the cheek not a full blow kiss, I would never do that to you I would never go that low and you know it"

I quickly stood up and ran towards them to see if I could defuse the situation when Sebastian pulled me back

"Its not worth it Lauren. You and Charlotte have just got back on speaking terms don't ruin it now"

I was getting frustrated and antsy. I know he is right but I cant let Charlotte and Chloe have a screaming match in the playground. Its bad enough with the crowed of students let alone any teachers coming to "help"

"Sebastian I'm begging you please defuse the situation so I can talk to Charlotte please"

I could tell Sebastian was reluctant but he went over to the girls, shouting at them as he tried to pull them apart

"Stop this now this is not helping anyone, I want you to look over there, look at what you are doing to Lauren this is making her ill"

"But she kissed Anton, Sebastian am I really meant to let her get away with it" Chloe screamed "He is the love of my life and she kissed him"

"Oh get over it Chloe I don't even like Anton. I could do way better than him anyway" Charlotte scoffed "Do you really think you will be together forever? We are sixteen these relationships will never last"

"How could you say that. Anton and I will be together forever just you wait and see"

I had enough at this point. Tears were spilling down my cheek, I just wanted them to stop arguing "STOP IT, JUST STOP"

Charlotte and Chloe fell silent, the whole playground did. You could hear a pin drop. I looked at both of them and fell to my knees

"I just want everyone to get along. Please just stop arguing please, I don't know how much more I can take of this"

I felt Jessica's hands on my shoulders, letting her guide me up on to my feet. I could feel all eyes on me and Chloe calling my name. I did not turn around. I did not want to look at Charlotte or Chloe, I had managed to stop my tears flowing like a waterfall to a dripping sink tap I didn't want to start crying again

Jessica managed to guide me to the medical room where we knew it would be quiet. She went to get me a glass of water as Sebastian entered the room. He came and sat down next to me

"Come here" He said pulling me into a hug "Stop crying they are not worth your tears"

I dried my tears "I know but this is just too much Sebastian all that they are doing is arguing... thank you Jessica... I don't know what to do anymore

I took a sip of water and continued "I thought we would be having fun. I thought we would be glad to be leaving school and trying to spend as much time together as possible not arguing like we are in year seven"

Jessica sat down next to me "I know but unfortunately not everyone thinks the same way you do "

"I'm just tired of all of this Jessica. I just wanted to have good memories to look back on when I think about this time now all I will be able to remember is us arguing what does that say about our friendship group?"

"Hey you have me and Sebastian here with you that's what you can look back on. Knowing you had two friends with you all the time. That has to count for something"

I smiled "It does but I wanted everyone to get along. Sometimes I wonder if we would be friends if it wasn't for this school"

"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked

"Your only friends with Charlotte because of me. If I didn't meet her here I don't think I would be friends with her outside of school. Like if I met her in the street I wouldn't have spoken to her"

"You cant think like that" Jessica said softly "Of course you would still be friends that's just your nature"

We stayed in the medical room for the rest of the day talking, laughing and watching dramas on YouTube. I'm thankful for Jessica and Sebastian for always sticking by me but there is one thing that I'm always thinking about

Come September we will be on different courses. They wont be there to comfort me when I have a problem even though Sebastian told me many times that he will.

I'm also starting to wonder if I should distance myself from Charlotte and Chloe. All they do is cause me pain and they cant even see it, that's what hurts the most. They cant even see how much this is affecting me and they both know how much I hate arguments.

At least in September they wont be my problem anymore. Chloe will be in Medway with Sebastian, Charlotte, Rebecca and I going to Canterbury. I guess I just have to see how this will play out. Hopefully we will be just fine
