"You swore that you love me but where were the clues? I died on the alter waiting for the proof. You scarified us to the gods of your bluest days."

"Can you just tell me why you did it? Why you said all those things if you never meant them. And don't tell me that you did because you are not that good of a liar."
His head tilts slightly. "Lennon you don't understand I didn't do that on purpose. I didn't even do it all."
Scoffing I go to leave the room. I can't to this if he's going to lie to my face. Jack stops me before I can even take a step. He grabs my wrist and spins me around so fast that my ass hits the couch like a tornado.
"Please just sit and listen. I've waited forever to tell you my side and I will not have you walking away from me." His voice is loud and he's borderline yelling at me.
I stick a finger in his chest. "Don't you dare yell at me."
"Fuck sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice I just need you to listen to me."
I lean back and cross my arms against my chest. "Fine, you have five minutes starting now."
His face turns white and he's suddenly nervous. I can practically see the gears turning as he figures out where to start. I want to hear what he has to say. It's probably going to piss me off and dredge up all the feelings I tried so hard to bury but I just need to know. I need to know why my best friend of 18 years committed the ultimate act of betrayal 2 hours after he confessed his love for me.
"Okay so I'm going to start from the beginning and I just need you to listen. After you left to talk to Corey, Quinn and I went downstairs to the basement. I hung out with him and talked with a few people we went to school with and eventually we migrated to the couch where I started playing GTA."
I nod along with him. I respect his wishes and don't say a word, I just listen.
"I don't know where she even came from but Sierra, you remember Sierra?"
Of course I remember her, the bitch ruined my life with one single kiss.
"Anyways, she came and sat down next to me and was talking my ear off. I tried brushing her off and pushing her away, even Quinn tried but she was very insistent that she just wanted to talk. Lennon you have to believe when I say I wanted nothing to do with her and I told her that but she wouldn't take no for an answer."
Yep, sounds like Sierra.
"I ignored her the best I could, I didn't say a word and eventually I got up to leave. She seemed to take a hint and left to talk to her friends when I did so I thought it was safe to go back and play with Josh. Once I sat down she came right back over and I told her to leave once again. I don't know how it happened I really don't but next thing I knew she was kissing me."
