Niall’s POV:

I stood there, completely dumbfounded and heartbroken.  What had happened between the moment we were lying there, so absolutely content just being in each other’s company, to now?  I really thought she may have liked me, even just a little bit.  But I guess I was wrong.  I was a fool, downright blinded by my own feelings that I had imagined there was something there-- that something existed.  I sighed in defeat as I stood up, beginning to collect the blanket and my things.  My head hung low, blanket tucked under my arm, feet shuffling along the ground as I walked back to my hut, completely deflated.

Jade’s POV:

I ran to our hut to find Scarlett.  I nearly stumbled over my own feet a few times; the tears that were overflowing had caused my vision to blur and aided in my lack of coordination.  I shook her awake and sobbed into her shoulder.  She comforted me, holding me.

“What? What’s wrong, Jay?” she inquired, concern filling her voice.

That just caused an even louder wave of sobs to tear through me, rocking me to my very core. 

“Is it… Niall?  If it is! If that boy hurt you! So help me God!” she cried, enraged as she got up abruptly to what I would assume as tracking Niall down, clearly on a mission.

I shook my head as I continued to cry, pulling her back down to her spot on the bed.  I tried to control my crying and heaving sobs so I could explain a bit about what happened.  “He… he didn’t- hurt me… I- I did… I hurt- him,” I hiccupped.  It finally dawned on Scarlett as she realized what happened.

“Jay.  Jay… did you… did you hurt him so he wouldn’t get the chance to hurt you?” she asked softly.  But I could tell she already knew what had happened and was just looking for confirmation.

I nodded as my lip started to quiver, completely ashamed of my saddening actions. Another ricocheting wave of guilt opened the flood gates as more tears spilled out.  This time I didn’t hold back.  I let every emotion I felt tumble out in the form of tears, leaving me empty. 

I was thankful to have Scarlett there for me as she comforted and soothed me.  “Shhh.  Shhh.  There, there, Jay.  It’ll be alright.  It’s all going to be okay,” she assured as she cradled me against her, soothingly patting my hair as my tears continually fell and soaked through her shirt.

The thing is, I wanted to believe her.  And so badly, too.  I wanted every fiber in my being to believe that it was all going to be okay.  That I would recover and move on.  After all, it was just a silly boy and we’d both move on with our lives, forgetting whatever we had, whatever this summer was.

But you know it wasn’t just some silly boy… you won’t forget…you never will…
