Friends or Enemies

Friends or Enemies 11:

Abi's POV 

OH MY GAWD

I cannot believe the nerve of that girl. 

How dare she.

Who does she even think she is?

So much for being a friend.

All those years of being best friends and this is how she treats me.

What a horrid thing to do.

I stood trembling in a corner on my own down the road, nobody could see me. Nobody knew I was there. I didn't care. I wanted to be on my own. I could not even face seeing Si. I ignored Nicola's calls and texts pleading me to get in contact, let her know I was ok.

No I wasn't ok. Why would anybody think I was ok after this?

They must be all crazy.

Or maybe I was the crazy one?

Crazy to think Si would want me for life.

Ok so he had been my boyfriend for a while now but that didn't mean he was going to be for ever did it? 

I felt sick.

The tears were making my vision blurry, I could not see properly for the life of me, not that I was bothered anyway.

Anna's smug look when I told her she had been seen leaving my boyfriend's house was stuck on my mind, I could not shake the image of her standing in front of me hands on her hips laughing at me.

To my face. 

Maybe that is why Si wanted to get rid of me earlier because she was there.

No.

He would not do that to me?

Surely.

Si loved me and was with me so if he wanted her then he would be with her and not go behind my back.

There was no way he would go off with her cheat on me like that. I did not want to think it could ever be possible but something inside me made me wonder if there was any truth in it?

My thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing.

Again.

Thinking I should switch it off I saw Si's name flicker on the screen.

Closing my eyes I wondered what to do.

Pressing the green button I put the phone to my ear and said hello.

"Abi? Where are you?" he sounded panicked.

"Why? What does it matter where I am?" I came back bluntly.

"Where are you?" he repeated.

I didn't answer. 

I wanted to hang the phone up before he realised I was crying.

"Abi, I will come pick you up, we need to talk. Tell me where you are?" he insisted.

"I don't want to see you. I don't want to speak to you and I most definately don't want to hear about you and Anna so do me a favour and leave me alone, please." I said tearfully. It was so painful to say those words to him, I hadn't felt so upset over anything like this before. It was gut wrenching and heart breaking for me.

Si didn't want to give up, he kept on at me until I eventually hung up the phone on him and turned it off so he couldn't ring me again.

Digging my hands deep in my pockets I slowly made my way home hoping nobody would be there so I could wallow in self pity without a million and one questions from my over protective parents. 

I had alot of thinking to do and needed to be alone for a while.

Laying on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking or trying to think. I hadn't even been able to face eating dinner which Mum and Dad didn't debate like they normally would of done.

My mind was in overdrive.

I had stopped crying now.

Cried up all my tears.

So many things running through my mind, unanswered questions, things that just didn't make sense.

"Abi?" Mum knocked softly on the door and popped her head round, she was holding a hot steaming mug of hot chocolate. I sat up and hugged my knees as she came into my room. Placing the hot mug on the bedside table she put an arm around my shoulders and sat down next to me. I let my head rest lightly on her like I used to when I was a kid. Mum always knew how to make me feel better even when I couldn't see any way of anything ever getting any better.

"I don't know what has upset you so much but I can only assume it has something to do with Simon?" Mum frowned at the ripped up photos and letters all over my bedroom floor.

Was it that obvious.

I knew she had never much taken to Si but she wasn't going to give me a lecture about it either. 

"I am sure you will do what is right!"

I didn't say a word, my face said it all.

"As long as you know I am here for you if you want to chat." Mum gave me a squeeze and kissed my forehead before getting up to walk out of the room, closing the door gently behind her.

I smiled moving slightly to reach my hot chocolate.

I knew what I had to do now.

The next morning I woke up feeling fresh and relaxed after having had a surprisingly good night's sleep.

"Good morning my darling." Dad beamed over his morning newspaper. I smiled back at him and took a seat at the breakfast bar. Mum was busy bustling around the kitchen preparing a yummy cooked breakfast and as she put a plate of food down in front of me she gave me the once over.

"Feeling better now love?" she smiled cheerfully and I nodded tucking into my food hungrily. Skipping dinner last night was certainly catching up on me and I had soon scoffed the lot, realising I only had a few minutes before the school bus arrived I gulped down my apple juice and kissed them both on the cheeks before hurrying out the door.

The minute I stepped on the bus I spotted Anna sitting alone staring out the window listening to her mp3 player and nodding her head in rythm to it.

"Abi sit here with me." Nicola was tugging at my arm with such enthusiam I slid down in the seat beside her as the bus started up again.

She looked concerned.

"Are you ok?

"Me? Yea I am fine. Never felt better." I grinned.

She looked confused and I laughed.

"I was trying to get hold of you. Your phone has been off." 

I had totally forgotton about my phone. Scrambling inside my bag I found my phone and turned it on.

"I switched it off last night, I didn't want to hear from him." I explained. 

Nicola nodded.

"Are you still with him?" She wanted to know.

"I really could not care less about him."  I told her. The bus arrived at the school and everybody started rushing off all at once.

I wasn't worried about seeing Anna or Si.

They were as sad as each other.

Anna glared at me as she passed me and Nicola but she said nothing. Neither did I. I just smiled sweetly.

"What are you up to?"Nicola giggled childishly.

"Your see." I tapped my nose secretively
