My Brother's Best Friend

Love Me or Leave Me

Paige's POV:

"Paige, you need to end things with Chase now before you get yourself hurt!" Ryan pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Why should I listen to you? You don't care if I get hurt. All you care about is if I get in the way of your friendship with Chase. Well guess what. News flash you're not the boss of me Ryan, and last time I checked you weren't my dad!" I stood up from the couch in just not only frustration but anger.

"That doesn't mean I don't care about what happens to my little sister. Paige, try and get this through your head Chase is just going to break your heart sooner or later. And you know if he breaks your heart I will without any hesitation break his face best friend or not.

 No one hurts my little sister. But if you seriously think he won't hurt you go right ahead and ignore me but don't say I didn't warn you." He grabbed his keys and headed to the door, and stopped to glance at me over his shoulder before he opened the door and walked out.

Rolling my eyes I took my diary out of my bag and started writing everything I was feeling into it.

Dear Me,

It's already been a couple weeks since Chase and I have been together, and I'm already starting to doubt us.

There has been rumors going around school that he's either cheating on me or that our entire relationship is because of a bet, and I don't want to believe them but he's making it hard for me not to.

He's been so secretive lately whenever he gets a message or a phone call. He's been blowing me off for homework and studying when he barely even does either of the two in the first place.

When we first got together I hoped for once, just once that something could go perfect for me. 

I didn't want to end up like most of the girls in my school who have either break up or argue all the time. Nonstop. Like a recording on loop.

I thought well, I hoped Chase and I were different.  But now I don't even know what's going on between us.

Kyle thinks we rushed into things to fast and that I've shouldn't have told him that I loved him.

Ryan thinks it's my fault because I kicked Chase out and broke contact with him for the rest of the week and never told him why.

And of course Ashlyn says that Chase is just acting like a guy. He's pretending he could care less when he really cares a whole lot. 

I just hope she's right.

lt's just the thought of if we ever broke up for whatever reason, I don't know what I'd do. 

Would I cry? Would I yell and start an argument? Would I try and forget we were ever a thing? All I know is that whatever I do if those rumors rove to be true, one thing is for sure: I could and would never trust anyone again.

That's all for now. Goodbye,

Paige

*time jump: later that afternoon

Paige's POV:

Chase came over about an hour or two ago to hang out with me.

I don't know why Ryan was so worried. It's pretty obvious that Chase is never going to hurt me.  

It was around the time I normally at when Chase arrived. Earlier we watched a movie,  went on a walk around the park in our neighborhood, and now we're sitting on the couch eating pizza.
