My Heartbeats

Chapter 10

One Week Later.

Amanda's POV

It's been a week since Eli asked me out on a date and I'm pretty sure Jason is avoiding me. I would try to talk to him and he'd pretend he had something else to do or he'd just avoid me altogether. At first I didn't know why he was making a big deal out of it but now I think there's more to it. My shift was over so now I'm on my way home. "Ugh I guess I'll stop at the diner and get something to eat." When I got to the diner I parked and looked around. "Jason's here." I didn't see any of the guys so I figured he was just getting something to eat too. I went in and ordered my food then looked around for Jason. When I seen him, he was sitting in a booth. "Oh.." I walked over to him. "Hey Ja..son.." He was sitting with his ex girlfriend Hope. "Hi!!" She smiled. "Hey.." I looked at him. "Sorry I didn't know you were busy." "Its ok." "I'll see you later." I turned and walked away. "Wow.." It all made sense to me now. "That's why he's been avoiding me." The lady called my order so I went and paid for it then went out to my truck. "He's back with her and I guess he doesn't want to be friends anymore." I went home and laid on the couch. "He could've just told me... But he doesn't have to.. I thought we were friends.." I mumbled. Just thinking about him being with that girl was getting to me and it made me wanna cry. "I don't even know why I care." I got up and went to my room and laid across the bed. "Whatever... I guess he doesn't need me anymore... Whatever.. I'll just find a guy and date him." I laid there thinking for a while then I fell asleep.

Jason's POV

After work today I went to the diner to get something to eat then I was going to head home. While I was there Hope came in wanting to talk. At first I was going to ignore her but then I decided to just see what she wanted. We sat at a booth on the side and she started talking about random stuff. It wasn't to long before she was talking about wanting to get back together. I didn't want to be with her at all but I didn't want to be the only person single anymore. As soon as I told Hope we could work things out Amanda walked into the diner. I was hoping she wouldn't see me but she ended up coming over. "Hey Ja..son.." Before I could say anything Hope started. "Hi!!" "Hey.." She looked back at me. "Sorry I didn't know you were busy." "Its ok." "I'll see you later." She walked away and I felt stupid. "Ugh." I thought and kept eating. After I ate I went home and stayed there for the rest of the day.

One Month Later.

Amanda's POV

It's been a month since Jason got back with Hope and I can honestly say he sucks now. We don't hang out anymore and we don't really talk on the phone as much as we use to. At this point I don't even try with him anymore. And it isn't like he's been wanting to hang out with me anyway. Every time I call him he makes sure I know he's with his 'girlfriend.' "Ugh." Then there was Mia. She's been there for me but she's been dating this new guy and I'm not trying to intrude on that. I've come to the conclusion that the only person who loves me is my little sister Sara, but now she has her own little friends. "Ugh." I exhaled and shook my head. A few days ago I was listening to the radio and there was a contest to win tickets to a surprise concert so I entered it and won. Today when I got home from work the tickets had came in the mail. The tickets were to an Alabama concert. That's Jason's favorite band and I thought about asking him to go with me then I changed my mind. I figured he'd just asked if he could have the tickets to go with Hope. "That is not an option." I mumbled. I figured I would just give them to Mia. I decided to go get something to eat then take them to her. I told my mother that I was leaving then I headed to the diner.
When I got to the diner I ordered my food and looked around. "Hey." Frank said standing next to me. "Hey!!" I hugged him. "Come on we are over there." "Really?" "Yeah, Mia is too." "Oh ok, hold on." I went out to my truck and got the tickets then went and sat at the table with them. "Hey y'all." Jason was there with his girlfriend and I was ready to go. I'm not jealous like I thought I would be I just think he's stupid. All that time we spent together and he goes and gets back with a girl who cheats on him. "Whatever." I thought. We all talked for a while then I looked at Mia. "Hey I have some concert tickets.. Want them?" "Who's show?" "Alabama." I noticed Jason looking at me but I never looked at him. "Why are you giving them away?" She asked. "Because I don't have a date.. Cause I'm a loser." I shook my head. "That's Jason's favorite band, maybe we could.." Hope started. "What?! You are not a loser! We can go together!!" Mia said cutting her off. "Alright." I smiled. I gave her a ticket and I kept one. While we were sitting there I glanced over at Ian, he was sitting there with Jade but he kept looking at Mia. "Dumbass, I bet he's unhappy. That's what he gets, he broke up with Mia for that hussy.. I'm going to start trouble." I thought and looked at Mia. "So when am I going to meet Mr football player?" I asked and she tried to hid her smile. "Um.." "Who is this football player?" Mike cut in. "I don't know what she's talking about." Mia laughed. "That's crap, she's been dating him for almost three months now." She just laughed. "Call him I want to meet him right now!" Mike demanded. While he was reading her the riot act I glanced at Ian. He looked so pissed off. I don't know why but I was enjoying him being mad. “Yeah that's right, be mad that you're stuck with that dummy.” I smirked and looked away. I was turning my attention back to Mia when I happen to look at Jason, he was already looking at me. "Hi." I said. "Hi." "Whatever jerk." I thought and looked at Mia. "Well.. Come on Mia, let's go to my house." "Ok, bye you guys." We said our goodbyes then left. "You did that on purpose." She laughed when we got to the parking lot. "You should've seen Ian, he was pissed." "I don't care. You don't miss a good thing until it's gone. I'll meet you at your house." We left and went back to my house.
