Jill's POV

My legs hitting the cold bleachers as I stood up every once in awhile, cheering for Hayes. Skylynn every once in awhile on my shoulders. It was kind of chilly. The sun was down and it was sort of dark, but the sun was still showing.

It was the middle of the game and Hayes was doing pretty good. Chad looked happy. Elizabeth was smiling. The score was 21-14 us and Hayes scored 2 of those touchdowns. He would always look up at the bleachers and send me a smile. It made me blush and Chad and Elizabeth noticed. I would just smile and look down.

Then, I would get sad again. You think I forgot about Shawn? No. It actually hurts when you see him in the fucking stands laughing and smiling like we never even met. Like we were never best friends. Like we never dated..

And to make the night also worse, I did actually see Samantha. On the field, cheering on the team. She would always yell for Hayes and just Hayes. It made me sick. Especially when you think she was all nice and innocent. No sadly, she's the devil and she has something planned up her sleeve.

I look up and see Shawn walking past me. Not making contact with me or anything.

"Honey, don't you know that boy?" Elizabeth asks me.

Me eyes are starting to drop tears.

"Mommy, that's Jill's best friend!" Skylynn says.

I guess Elizabeth sees me starting to cry. So, she gives me a look of sympathy.

"Hun, what's wrong?!"

I get up.

"I got to go. I'm sorry."

I run down the bleachers in a rapid motion, looking for Shawn.

I look at the football field and that's when I see it. Hayes' eyes on mine. Concern was plastered all over his face. I just simply ran off, away from the field to the parking lot.

That's when I see him.

Shawn.

I go up to him. He was about to get in his car to leave. I shut his door before he could even get into it.

"What the hell!"

He didn't see me until after he said that.

"Jill..."

I slap him in the face.

"What makes you think you're so much better than everyone else, going around and breaking hearts without a care in the world!"

"What are you talking about?!"

"Don't act like we didn't date because we did! Don't act like we weren't friends and I never existed in your life because I did!" I say, tears filling up in my eyes.

"That's the thing, Jill! I don't want to remember you! I don't wanna remember that you were the only girl I have ever fallen in love with!"

"I hope you are happy and I hope you know I'll never find another best friend like you ever again." I say, wiping my tears.

"Jill, I hope one day you give your heart to someone and they will hold it tight as if it's their own. I hope one day you wake up and have something or someone to live for. I hope one day you can go to bed smiling without a worry in the world. I hope one day the battle is over and you've one. I hope one day you meet someone who makes you realize how beautiful you truly are."

He steps into his car.

"You aren't just gonna leave. This isn't supposed to be how it goes!" I say.
