Chapter 19

Nick's Point Of View

To say that I'm devastated would be a total understatement. It has been two weeks since Sara saw that horrific scene in my room and I haven't seen her since then but what is driving me insane is that she wouldn't let me explain. It's a complete misunderstanding and if she would just let me explain I know it will be all over in less that an hour but she just wouldn't let me. I know that she's probably broken now but it's all pointless because what she saw back there is definitely not what it looked like. I understand how she feels about cheating since her father do it all the time and all but why wouldn't she just let me explain?

I have tried everything. She hasn't gone to school the whole two weeks and she's always either with that Mark guy who I still don't like might I add or with Zac I tried talking with Zac so, he would convince her to let me explain but that just earned me a punch across the cheek and a door slam in my face like he didn't even let me say a word, he just punched me and slammed the door in my face. I tried going to her house but her mother wouldn't let me see her. I even tried her brother and sister but even they wouldn't help me.

So, here I'm clinging to the last hope I have which is Mark. Yes, I don't like the guy but may be he would help me. Right now I'm waiting in my car for Mark to leave Sara's house and hoping with all my being that he would help me.

Once I see him leaving her house I quickly get out of my car and call for him. He stops in front of his car and turns to me.

"What do you want?" He spats once I stop in front of him.

"Look! Mark, you're my last hope" I sigh "I really need to explain to her"

"Really?" He scoffs "Explain to her why you cheated on her?"

"I didn't cheat and I would never to that to her"

"Then what was it she saw back in your room?" He shots back.

"It's a big misunderstanding" I sigh yet again "Please, just let me explain to her" I plead silently praying he would give in.

"Fine!" He sighs "But I swear to god if you are lying I'll beat the crap out of you" He threatens.

"I'm not" I smile "I promise"

Sara's Point Of View

It has been two weeks and I would be lying if I say that I'm feeling any better. It still hurts like hell just remembering how she was on his lap kissing him and how he broke his promise to me makes me feel betrayed more than anything else. It makes me regret trusting him so bad because he turned to be just like dad but I will never be like mom and I'll move on sooner or later I know I will.

"Sara!" I hear dad calling from downstairs. I get up from the bed head to the mirror, I wipe my eyes, Fix my hair and try my best to look presentable before heading downstairs to the living room where my parents are both sitting on the couch.

"Dad, you called?" I ask quietly.

"Yes" He nods "have a seat, Sara"

I nod and make my way to sit on the chair opposite to the couch "Yes?" I say once I sit down.

"We wanna know what's wrong with you, honey" Mom says quietly.

"Nothing I'm completely fine" I lie but I know that they can see right through my lie.

"Sara, you know you can't lie to us" Dad informs me "So, what the hell is wrong with you?" He kind of shouts and before I can say a word mom quickly comes to his aid.
