In Love with My Bestfriends Boyfriend

11 - Left Over Scars

  🔱 Delilah's P.O.V 🔱

"That's the last of the boxes. Thanks for the help April."

"No problem girl. Look I better head off before my father realizes that I'm gone. Bye"

"Bye" I say trying to re-framer from laughing.

I sit cross legged in the middle of my room surrounded by some of the boxes from the motel. There was still my old furniture in there.

My eyes started to swell as the memories of this room come rushing back. Everything just felt wrong. Like i wasn't supposed to be here. Like this room was haunted with ghost of Jace. I wiped my eyes with my shirt sleeves and stood up.

My room still looked like it belonged to a five year old with all of the pink and fairies and shit in there so maybe its time to do some shopping.

The paint isle looked huge. So many colours and brands of paint. Like I never even realised. I wasn't to worried about having bright green walls or something, I wanted something neutral. The paint I went with was a light grey paint.

I got a few other things like a black mandala, new bed spread, new side table and a lamp. I already had my bed and dresser and that was all I needed really.

ONE WEEK LATER...

Math is so damn boring. Like seriously when am I ever going to use algebra in my entire life!? What I aspire to be has nothing to do with math. The teacher was just about to mark the role when someone comes rushing in and takes the seat next to me. Jennifer.

I wasn't sure whether to say something or just ignore her. Whoops to late the decision has been made for me.

"Hey.. I need to talk to you.." Jennifer says softly.

10 Minutes later

🔱 Marcus's P.O.V 🔱

"Aw babe stop I have to go to class... With Delilah. I still can't believe she told Noah."

Jennifer sat on my lap just ranting on and on about how Delilah betrayed her trust and stuff like that.

Everything was fine until a flood of guilt ran through my body and Jennifer could tell by my face that something was wrong.

"Are you ok?"

It's time. It's time that I told jen. I can't live this lie anymore.

"Yeah except I have something to tell you..."

I realised that as soon as I said this our relationship would be over. I really like Jen and don't want things to end but I can't live with my lie.

"Do tell."

"Ok. Jennifer please don't get mad."

"Don't give me a reason to get mad then."

Oh god. I'm gonna miss her sassy comments...

"Delilah wasn't the one that told Noah... I was."

"What!? What the hell!? You??! I can't believe you!!" She said getting up and starting to walk away.

"Jen come back!" I say but she just keeps going.

"FUUUUCK!!!" I scream as I punch one of the lockers slightly indenting it.

BACK TO THE PRESENT...

🔱 Delilah's P.O.V 🔱

I froze. What now? Why do you need to talk to me?? Are you just gonna remind me that you were the one that told the damn police. I mean I still wanna be your friend after everything but I can't forgive you for that so if your asking for forgiveness that back off.

I hadn't realised that I haven't even spoken to he for the last two minutes I've just kinda been staring at her face wondering what's she's about to say.

"Ok I know I screwed up real bad..."

You got that right...

"But I found out that you weren't the one that told..."

Oh no shit Sherlock.

"I should have let you talk...."

That would have been helpful.

"Look I know this is a long shot but I would really love it if we could be friends again..."

Ok. Hold the phone. Didn't I just say before that I couldn't forgive you? Oh wait that was in my head.....

"Look what you did hurt me. Really bad. What you did ended with my brother in a coma and my step dad in prison. That's the one thing I can thank you for. Look i know you wanna be friends but I just need time. We can start talking and stuff but I'm still healing from that night. The scars are still in memory."

Jennifer looks at me with a sincere face but says nothing. So if us my attention back to my book and what looks like the alphabet on the board. I thought this was supposed to be math?

[ Lunch Time ]

I sat at a table in the cafeteria with my regular group of friends. Noah, Brett, Julian, April and Jennifer. Jennifer seemed really quiet for some reason. I was thinking about saying some,I got but I feel like she would just ignore me.

Everyone was kinda just sitting in silence and eating until Noah pulls Jennifer away. I had no idea why so I just let it be.

As I walked up to his house my heart rate sped up faster then the speed limit on the highway.

"Hello."

"Hi um I need to talk To you."

"Ok"

I took a deep breath. A lump began forming in my throat.

"I-I I think I'm in love with you..."

I could feel tears swelling in my eyes as I can tell by the expression on his face that it wasn't a Response I wanted...

"Oh um thanks but I'm dating Jennifer..."

WHAT!?

"Oh um yeah. Argh. God I'm so stupid to think that you'll actually like me back. God I'm so stupid um I should go. Um bye"

The tears swelled in my eyes till I had to let them fall. I turned to face the door when someone grabbed my arm

"Wait...."
