Chapter Twenty-Four

Sam and I broke up.

 I think I cried for two nights straight.

 Us breaking up was my fault, I won't blame him. I felt bad since I basically cheated on him with Jack. I laugh every time I say that to myself, because of what I said to Jack when we broke up.

"No, Ashley is better, right? You know the girl that fucking cheated on you? How much sense does that make to you?"

 I did the same thing to Sam. I'm sorry, Sam, I truly am. I told you I would hurt you the same day you kissed me to make me feel better. Our couple of months, our memories, our everything, it all meant something to me, but so did me and Jack's.

 It was prom week, which meant all the seniors had one week left of high school, then it's graduation. Alabama is only two weeks away. College was two weeks away. I had to get ready to say goodbye to Omaha, Bella, Alexis, Johnson, Matt, Jack, and Sam.

 Bella said that we should all go out to eat, including Jack and Sam, so when I leave, I wouldn't leave someone hating me. Speaking of someone hating me, Ashley came to my house the other day.

I was really confused when I saw her.

 This is what happened:

I heard a knock on the door, I walked down stairs expecting it to be Bella or Alexis, but when I opened the door, I was shocked to even say it was Ashley.

"Layla, just listen before you ask anything." She huffed, "I'm sorry. I really am, I was so jealous of you, I mean look at you, you're perfect. When I heard Jack was crushing you, I felt so angry, and I had to say the most useless things to you, to make you feel bad, and you gave no fuck about anything, and I was really confused."

"I normally don't care about anything, but thanks for apologizing. I forgive you." She looked shocked that I said that I forgave her.

"Why?"

"Ashley, people hating me is a normal thing," I laughed. "Plus, I'm leaving for school right after graduation. I already have to see someone who probably doesn't like me, aka Sam."

 I had to get up and get dressed for dinner with everyone at Olive Garden, out of every place, it had to be where my dad took Jack and I the first time they got to know each other.

I grabbed this new, pastel, lace top, dip-dye, dress. It was a light blue, then at the bottom, it was a nude color. It was strapless, with a very small v-cut in the front. I put on nude heels to match, and I changed purses to my nude one from JCP.

 I finished off with nude and gold jewelry.

I curled my hair and did my makeup, I checked my phone and Bella text me saying they were heading to Olive Garden. I huffed and threw my phone in my purse and walked out the house to my car.

Once I got there, I saw Jack's jeep and I almost threw up, I was so nervous. I text Alexis and Bella seeing if they were here.

bella; just pulled in with matt.

alexis; I'm at the door with my jack, if you're here Layla. 

 me; okay, I'm getting out.

I got out and walked up too Alexis and Johnson, they both said hey and hugged me. Bella and Matt walked up and did the same. We've all, honestly have grown apart, and It sucked. Not everyone was a couple anymore. 

I wish school was over so I could leave
