Dakota's POV

So Finn helping me was out of the question. I knew I needed to talk to Josh, cause it was his fault that I was in this mess. I hailed a cab, and told him where to go. I raced up the steps and opened the door to find Josh making out, with his shirt off might I add, with Hilary. I gasped and both there heads snapped in my direction. My eyes went wide and HIlary looked away, and Josh looked really ashamed. I shook my head, and I backed away, looking astonished. Josh took a step towards me and said,

"Dakota, I can explain."

"Don't," I said coldly, "You know, it's funny, I was coming to talk to you about kissing girls. But it looks like that won't do anything, cause, you know, next thing you know, you'll just be sleeping around." With that, I stormed out, with yet again, leaving them both flabergasted. I walked away, tears pricking my eye once again. A hand grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. I was faced to Josh. He looked me in the eyes and said,

"Dakota, why are you so angry?"

"Becasue Josh! You can't just kiss one girl, then practicaly have the sexy times with another, five days later!"

"Dakota, I know what I did with you was stupid! I know it's my fault that Jack is in the hospital, and that you two are fighitng, and that your mad, but I love Hilary!"

"It's not that 'm mad that you like Hilary, but I'm mad cause you haven't even bothered to say your sorry to me or to Jack who I've texted you about like 12 times and you haven't came to see him! It seems like you don't even care that you've ruined my life!" I shouted.

"You know, you had a part in it too!'

"Yes, but I've recognized it and payed dearly for it, however you, have done nothing to make it better." I snapped. Josh looked to the floor, looking ashamed. I turned and ran. The tears fell

and I didn't hold back. I sobbed, and cried and screamed. I was so mad. I ran up the stairs to my dorm and fell on my bed, crying. I cursed and screamed into my pillow and just layed ther and cried. I cried for Jack. I cried for myself, and my pitiful life.

Hilary's POV

God, Dakotas gonna hate me. Josh kissed we and led her on, then she caught him kissing me. I'm supposed to be her friend. The one who's there for her when she needs it me. And I just basically blew it. I grabbed my phone, slipped on my jacket, and left. Tears threatened to fall, but I kept them back. I ran up the stairs, went into my dorm, closed the door and leaned against it, letting the tears flow. I put my face in my hands and pulled my knees to my chest. I sobbed until I cried myself dry, which I frankly didn't know was possible. I pulled myself up, pulling on some P.J. pants and an old tee, falling on my bed, just starring at the ceiling. I sighed and thought about life. I thought bout everything that has happened so far. My child hood, my birthdays, my friends, everything. For the first time, I really cried

Dakota's POV

When I finally was done crying, I pulled myself up, wiping my eyes, making sure my make-up wasn't smudged, and I got up, deciding to go get some dinner from the cafeteria. I walked down and got into the line. I got all my food and began looking for a place to sit. I spotted Maddie and Ari over at a table and walked my way over to the table.

"Hey." Ari said, taking a bite of her celery stick. Maddie smiled at me, clearly with food in her mouth. I smiled at the two of them, taking a bite of my apple. Ari and Maddie continued their conversation, as I picked at my food. I finally decided, I wasn't hungry anymore, and got up, rushing to get to my room. I bust open the door, and immediatly, the tears came. I didn't know what to do. I was so mad, frusterated, confused and just plain sad. Jack probably wasn't going to forgive me, Finn was against me, and I don't know who to tell. I couldn't talk to Helen, cause she was with Finn, I couldn't talk to Josh or Hilary, cause they were practically hooking up in front of my face. I couldn't talk to Lou or Jeremy, cause they were visiting family back in America, I couldn't talk to mal or Phil, cause one, I don't know Phil that well, and Mal was re-visiting Phil's family in Manchester, Drew woulodn't understand, cause he's not a girl, Natalie never left Kyle's side, and that would be a problem, cause , Kyle is Jack's room mate, and he was probably on Klye's side, so that would just end bad, with Kyle being Jacks roommate. Nora and the other Josh went back to Holmes Chapel. I had two people.

Ariana and Maddie.

I layed down and stared at the ceiling. I knew I needed to do something. Anything really. I heard a knock on the door, and I knew who it was, Ari and Maddie. I took a deep breath, putting a fake smile on my face, and opened the door.

"Hey." I said, opening the door for them to come in.

"Drop the act. We know it's Jack that's bothering you," Ari said. I face dropped the smile, and I awkwardly sat down cris-cross on my bed and both sat on each side of me and I rested my head in Ariana's shoulder and as Maddie rubbed my back I said sobbing,

"I just don't know what to do."

"I know your confused and upset, but the best thing for you to do, is just tot talk to him." She replied, calmly.

"But how do you know?" I looked up at her.

"That's just it. I don't."

"Then how can you be sure?"

"Cause I see the way he looks at you."

"You mean looked at me."

"No, the way he looks at you. And the way you look at him, even a blind man could see that it's love." She reasurred me smiling. I smiled back, sitting up, wiping away the tears.

"Your right. If I really love Jack, then I have to fight for him." I got up, looking in the mirror. I foxed my sweater, tied my shoes, and ran my fingers through my wavy hair. I grabbed my phone and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" They called in unison.

"To fight for the man I love." I back, feeling more confident than ever.
