For the next couple of days I ignore all of Wes’ phone calls and text messages. I try avoiding him at school as much as I can but it’s no use because he catches on. “What?” I roll my eyes at him and keep walking.
“Preston, could you please stop acting so cold?” I laugh at his comment at which point he glares at me coldly. He turns me around and looks me straight into the eyes “What has gotten into you?” He just stares at me.
“Nothing, don’t worry about it Wesley.”
“Don’t worry about it? We have a song to write and it is due in three weeks for half our midterm grades, have you ever thought about that?” He starts to raise his voice at me a bit.
“So all you care about is the grade? That’s the only reason why you’re so worried that there’s something wrong with me?” I laugh at him and continue to walk before he runs in front of me.
“Then what’s wrong? You can tell me after school today my place? We’ll continue working on the song then.”
“Fine but only because I actually want a good grade on this final, now get out of my way so I can get to class.” I lied. I actually really want to talk to him. Before he can say anything else, I walk away from him and strut my way to class.

Pushing myself to leave is the hardest part of getting to Wesley’s house. I swear to you that this is the longest ten minute car ride ever because I have no clue what I’m going to say to Wes when I get to his house. When I arrive Keaton was messing around with his skateboard in the driveway. “Hey Preston, wait a sec, and watch this trick!” He does this flippy thingy and starts smiling so wide. “Pretty sick right? Can you ride Preston?” I laugh and shake my head no. “I’ll have to teach you sometime then! Well, we can all teach you then!”
“I’ll be looking forward to it! Remember you said this because I’ll come after you if you don’t teach me! See you later I have to go work on this song before it gets too late!” He waves me away and continues doing his tricks.
“Hey Preston!” Wes calls me into his room and I don’t say a word. “So what do you want to do first?”
“I don’t know you tell me.” He gulps.
“Well, we can work on the chorus because that would be easiest I think.” He tries to give me a smile but I just roll my eyes.
“Okay.” I take out my phone and start texting Lotti. He clears his throat and I look up. I look up only to look back down again because he says nothing.
“What’s the matter with you?”
“Why don’t you tell me Wes? Why don’t you tell me why I’m so ignorant, and how I’m such an ass hole? While you’re at it please explain to me why you’re so confused.” He tries to speak but I won’t allow it. “Oh and maybe you should tell me more about Carly, like how she’s your girlfriend?” Now his eyes are wide and he’s about to burst.
“Are you serious right now? You really want to pick this fight with me?”
“I don’t want to fight with you, I want you to be truthful to me good god is that too much to ask for Wes? I know we just met about a month ago but that doesn’t give you the right to keep things from me!”
“This really isn’t about all those things I said about you, it’s about Carly.”
“Well if you want to think of it that way then sure, it is about her.”
“Why do we even need to talk about this? Why are you so worked up? We were never together in the first place it’s not like we had a thing and it’s not like I’m cheating on you.” That’s when it hit me hard, and that’s my queue to leave. I grab my bag and rush out of his room. Drew waltz out of his room just as I brush past his door.
“Whoa sunshine, yeah, cool no need to say hi to me.”
“I don’t need your crap Drew.”
“Don’t talk to him like that.” I stop in my tracks and turn back around with my eyes laced with Wesley’s.
“So now you’re telling me what to do? You’re telling me how to act, who to be?” I start going towards him but something, someone holds me back rather. It’s Drew, he’s still standing there.
“Guys, that’s enough come on, Preston just cool down.” Drew is attempting to look me in the eyes, but I keep my eyes on Wes.
“You know, when I met you, I honestly thought you were so gorgeous and so perfect, but I was wrong. You’re such a dick and you have nothing to do with your life so you go ahead and fuck with everyone else’s. When you find yourself, then come back to me but as for now, I think it’s best for the both of us to stay away from each other.” I burst into tears because I know it’s true. Everything he’s saying is true about me, I’m not who I am anymore. Well, I’m not who I used to be. I run down the stairs towards my car.
“Damn it Wesley! Preston wait up, don’t run come on.” Drew slams the car door shut from behind. “Come inside and calm down a bit okay?” I shake my head as I attempt to open the car door again but it’s no use because he closes it again anyways. “Fine, then let me drive you home because I don’t want you driving in the state that you are in right now.” There’s no point in arguing so I put my keys into his hands.
“Why do you care so much?” I ask wiping the tears away from my eyes.
“I just don’t like seeing people so unhappy and it’s hard when there’s a gorgeous girl crying right in front of me.”
“Are you trying to hit on me?” I say with a little laugh.
“No, I’m just stating facts here, and I didn’t really want to see Wesley blow up any more then he was. Trust me; I’m going to get so much shit for driving you home when I get back.” Before he can say anything else I interrupt him.
“Question, how are you going to get back if you’re driving me home with my car?” I raise an eyebrow at him sniffing the disgusting crap in my nose back up.
“I’ll walk, I don’t really mind, I need the exercise anyways.” He drives up my driveway and parks the car.
“Thanks for that.” He wraps his arms around me and tells me that it’s going to be okay and to just give Wesley his space. I nod my head and walk inside. I can’t stop thinking about everything. About Wesley and how I can’t have him and about Carly and how he’s hers and she’s his. About Kent, and how I can’t even have a normal conversation with him anymore. About mom and dad and how I don’t even know why they keep fighting, about everything and everyone. I just want everything to be done and over with, I just can’t deal with all this anymore. I can’t deal with being someone I’m not. I can’t deal with not knowing who I am. I can’t.
