Ch13.

Ryan's POV

I know what your thinking; why did I end my friendship with Alexa? The answer's simple really, we can't be friends. Why? I have my reasons. Mostly to protect her. Things, other than my happiness, happened after she came back to town. Things I really don't want to talk about. So I broke it off. But I think she took it pretty hard considering her reaction. I still can't get the look on her face out of my head when I broke it off.

(Flashback)

I threw a rock in the lake across and watched the ripples. I don't want to do this, but I have to, for Alexa's sake. I heard some rustling behind me and I knew it was Alexa. I was hoping to do this later but either way it has to be done.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I thought you looked lonely, so I came." I looked at her smile one last time before I had to take it away.

"You shouldn't have come." I didn't want to do this face to face.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I don't want to be friends."

"Wh-why? Was I a bad friend? What happened?"

"I just can't see you any more, it's complicated."

"I knew it. I knew not to get close to you! YOU INCONSIDERATE, LOW LIFE, MOTHER FUCKING BITCHY PRICK! NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN!" She stood abruptly and walked over to the sidewalk. I looked back and even her stride looked angry. She stopped and I thought she was gonna break down. But then she stiffened and pulled out her phone. I started pacing, I should explain myself. No, I can't. I felt eyes watching me and turned my head. She was staring at me with a disgusted look on her face. That's it, I have to explain. I took three steps and then she turned and ran up to her house. She opened the door, went inside, and closed the door. I walked up to the door and knocked.

"Alexa, I know your there. I saw you go in."

"Go away Ryan. I meant it when I said I never want to see you again." Those words hurt me so bad. To let my anger out I picked up the trash can and threw it against the mail box. I saw the door jerk open and Alexa stepped out.

"What the fuck? Ryan, why are you acting this way?"

Then I punched the side of the house, and let out an aggravated yell. I wish I could tell her.

"If only you knew."

"Knew what? Ryan, what's going on?" I have to go. So I did the only thing that came to mind, I ran. And I didn't look back. I didn't know I was crying until a tear went in my mouth. I was far enough away for her not see me but I could see the house. Then a couple minutes later she walked out in a sports bra and some basketball shorts. She walked over to a car where I could clearly see a guy in the drivers seat. Well, that just did it. I even thought I heard my heart break. I collapsed to my knees and cried my eyes out.

(Flashback over)

I noticed I was in front of my locker. I opened it and a note fell out. I picked it up and read it. It said 'Meet me behind the school after the last class. -AV.' Weird. I folded the note and put it in my pocket.

The day passed by pretty quick, and now I'm walking behind the school to find out who AV is. Once I rounded the corner I was completely surprised by who I saw. Alexa.

"I thought you said you never want to see me again?"

"Oh, I can't avoid that we go to the same school. But I can make you pay."

"Pay for what?"

"Are you that self centered? Well if you must know, you hurt me more than you could ever know. Now your gonna feel my pain." It was then I noticed she was wearing a fight club jersey.
