I wish you loved me in the ways I did.
I didn't want someone else, not him, not her.
You
So why couldn't that happen? Why couldn't you love me?
Was I really that bad?
Was it that easy to let go of what we had?
I don't know..and that's the problem.

"Hey guys!!" Marley said, letting go of Elias's hand to hug me. I met her back, hugging tight as she rocked back and forth. I laughed, pulling away to meet Artemis's eyes. I looked away before he did, I didn't want to have to see him. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see Darren, signalling me to get Charlotte. I did as she beamed to see him there. "Hey! You showed up!" I watched as Char fell into his arms.
His hand went to her waist, wrapping around lovingly as she hugged around his neck. I kept my eyes on them as they quietly giggled between one another, saying words that no one could hear. Charlotte's face became red, Jason nudged me and started to smile at them. He got out his phone, sending me a text: Why won't they just date already? It's so obvious they want to.
I laughed, shrugging in response. He wasn't wrong, but I knew they wouldn't listen to us. This was just something they needed to do on their own time.
I turned back around, seeing Artemis's. His eyes on Jason, but Jason didn't bother looking his way. Actually, no one did. Everyone was caught up in their own relationships. "Wanna go find books?" Kenna said, now that was my cue to go with her, because there was clearly something she needed to tell me. Kenna hated books, but no one else knew that. "We'll join you." Liv said, holding Alice's hand.
So all four of us left, going to a random aisle of books. Once I finally turned their way, their eyes were staring at me, in shock. "What?" I said, making them continue to stare. "Is this because of Jason?"
"Duh." Liv said. "What's going on with you and Artemis?" Liv asked. I thought she knew already, but I guess not. "Jason and I just went out." I said but she just scoffed. "Not what I asked, I already knew that." Liv said, making me sigh. "I don't want to start anything with him, we're nothing serious." I said as Alice rolled her eyes. "Right, so at your house when he was all over you, it wasn't anything serious?" Alice said.
I looked down, I didn't want to have to answer that. But I did. "It was just for fun, we were lonely, so we messed...around." I struggled to say it, because it was a lie. In my book it was at least, but not his. I thought that we had something special, that it had meaning. But they didn't need to know that truth.
That truth broke me.
And I wasn't bothering them with that.
"Oh, well why do you seem so..sad about it?" Kenna said. "Were not anymore, were just friends..that's all." I said as tears threatened to fall. But I blinked them away, refusing to let myself feel this. It shouldn't hurt me, it was only for a month. But it does, the memories of us. It's everywhere, even when I don't want it to. I needed to forget, push him past me. Were done, and I'm just going to have to deal with it.
