Social Media Romance

Chapter 8

Derek. Of course it's Derek. My jerky ex boyfriend. God I hated him so much. He's literally the worst person in the world okay. Let me give you a little background on him.. So we met when I was 6 or 7 and instantly became best friends. At around 11 I started developing a small childish crush on him. On the night of my 13th birthday was when everything changed. I had a big party that night and invited everyone I knew, I had a huge yard and we had a bunch of trampolines and stuff like that. After everyone left, so it was just me and Derek hanging out in my back yard. The sun had set and it started to get cold so he gave me his jacket, that wasn't unusual he had done it a lot. We laid down on the trampoline and watched the stars, and all that jazz. it was really fun. But it was silent for a long time, and that's unusual, especially for him. I asked him what was wrong and he wouldn't tell me. Me being the person I was/am, I'm going to pry it out of him, one way or another. I kept asking him to tell me what was going on. Finally he spoke up, "if I tell you, will you shut up?" he asked me. I nodded my head
"So.." he trailed off, "there's this girl I maybe, sorta like" my heart instantly sank. Mind you, I had been crushing on him for 2 long years. "oh, really?" I try not to sound hurt
"Yeah. I don't know how to tell her. She's younger than me so I don't exactly know how this will go" again, heart sank. He had just turned 14 so I wonder how much younger this girl was? "She's my best friend and I don't want to screw up anything between us, ya know?" he said looking at me. I could tell whoever this girl was, he really liked her a lot.
"Just tell her how you feel dude" was all I could say
He got up, took me by the hand, stared deeply into my eyes and said, "I just did"
my heart jumped to my throat in excitement.
After that, we dated until I was the age I am now. We just broke up a few months ago.
After Derek hit about 17, he changed. he wasn't the Derek I had fallen in love with.
I still might love him.
I heard a baby crying and that snapped me back into reality. I put a fake smile on my face and walked over to his table, "I'm Abbi, and I'll be your waitress this evening" 
"Oh look who it is, little miss Abbi" I heard a sarcastic toned voice say
Oh great, not you
