Chapter 16: What friends are for

Keithlin's POV

I was worried for Sara. I knew she was on her limit, just a moment away from an emotional explosion. Something was very wrong and I was planning on figuring out what that was.

"What's wrong Sara? Tell us..." I said trying to be as nice as possible.

Sara shrugged. "I don't know." Suddenly she looked up with anger.

Oops. I think I hit something; and pretty hard.

"Well, actually, I know! Since yesterday I have been experiencing bad luck! First with the guy I like. Then knowing Rachel is after that jerk of your ex. To make matters worse, I had to endure solitude, getting injured, wet, mud, and dirt all over me because I was avoiding Jonathan!"

I was shocked beyond words. I think they guys were too.

I looked at Jake who tightened his jaw, not looking at me. "What?"

I almost didn't notice when Sara ran off. I just stared at Jake petrified.

"Jake... You're dating Rachel?" I asked with all the sadness in the world.

Breaking up with Jake was the hardest thing I have ever done; all thanks to my parents. But knowing he started dating again? So fast? What was left of my heart was now completely pulverized.

"Sara! Come back!" Samantha yelled but Ian kept her seated.

"Give her space. She has a lot to think about." Ian whispered to Samantha.

I kept staring at Jake. He couldn't even look at me in the eye. "So it's true. You are dating my neighbor."

He suddenly looked up at me. "She's your neighbor?!"

I nodded slowly, with a horrified face. He looked down with shame. "I'm sorry. I'm just trying to move on."

"So fast?" I said slowly. Anger slowly started to settle in. "You moved pretty damn quickly. It's like I wasn't much. Like you didn't even have feelings for me." Jake was going to interrupt but I continued. "Did you even think of what I would feel when I heard that the boy I love started dating again because he wanted to move on?"

"Keithlin, I-" Jake stood up.

I held my hand to shut him up. "Save it. I don't care anymore." Lies. My heart was broken and now I think it turned to dust.

I stood up and smiled his way. "I hope you're happy with her." I wanted to be alone. I decided to just skip school and go get Sara. Some things just got stranger, and she will shine some light on the situation.

Sara's pov

From all the running I had ended up in the third floor. While rocking my self in the floor, I was also pulling at my hair.

"Stupid stupid stupid. How could you say that?"

And pull pull pull.

I would never forgive myself. I have just said something Hunter trusted me with. I'm a horrible person.

Plus, who am I to judge Jonathan? He can have whoever he wants. I'm actually acting like a bitch! I just have to act like a friend, not a jealous girlfriend.

I sighed. "This is plain shit."

"Tell me about it."

My eyes widened and I jumped on my feet. In front of me stood Keithlin with puffy eyes. Damn, I'm pretty sure that's my fault.
