As red as blood, as black night...

A sleepless night

Chapter 3

KYLE'S POV

I toss and turn. I can't sleep. It's not just because I've been crying, I feel like I'm being watched too and it makes me feel uneasy. "J-Jordan?" I hiccup into the darkness. I hear a sigh, then I feel my bed dip and his arms around me. I snuggle into his embrace, sniffling and crying slightly. Yes, I know I guessed it, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt when it happened. If I'm all honest, you know, I think it made it worse... I could think something bad about her, one of the people I've known my whole life, and it happened. She was one of the people who was supposed to have my back, not stab it... The same for Alex...

SAMM'S POV

I stare at the wall... It must be early morning now. I've been staring so long. I can't get his face out of my head. Contorted in so much pain. I snapped at Rue when they walked in... but it wasn't her fault. She couldn't have known. We were just experimenting at first because we had to kiss in drama. Then it progressed. I've ended it now, but I shouldn't have started it in the first place. I know Kyle will never take me back as a girlfriend, but I can only hope, that somehow he will take me back as a friend. I really hurt him. I knew it would and yet... I still carried on. I snapped at Rue when she walked in. I only thought to say something to Kyle, as he ran out the room. He went straight to his room and into his bathroom. He locked it, leaving both Jack and Jordan staring at me. I burst into tears, then their arms were around me. "No," I said. I pushed them away, but their arms stayed stubbornly around me. "No, no! You shouldn't be comforting me, not after what I've done." Then Jordan chuckled. I looked up. "What?" I said. He looked down at my tear stained face, wiping some away. 

"We knew. Of course we knew. It isn't like you were very secretive about it. We could see the passion. And we both know, you two aren't that good at acting."

"Ha! Yeah! I'm the actor of the group!" Jack said.

"If it makes you feel any better, he was planning on dumping you anyway. He was just gonna wait till you were settled, as then it wouldn't interfere with your college work and stuff..." Jordan said.

"Oh" I said. I now knew I didn't love Kyle, or Rue for that matter, romantically... but I still loved them. You know? You love all your friends. And I did. I loved them all like family... Or else it wouldn't hurt so much. I stopped crying and stepped out of their arms. "Well I know it doesn't really mean anything... but I really am sorry. Please tell him. I-I'll" I again break down in tears and feel Jack's hand on my shoulder. I swallow, "I'll go back to my room now." I'm again crying, so can't see where I'm going. Jack steers me. He's asleep in the bed beside me right now. I'm torn on whether to wake him up or not. I want him to hug me again. I shiver. It's cold tonight. I stare at the wall again, feeling the tears that won't come. My eyes are dry now. I've cried so much. My eyes can't take it anymore and I can feel them drooping. I snuggle into Jack, putting my head on his chest. He moves, mumbling in his sleep. He settles with his arm draped around me and I smile, as I finally drift off to sleep. Happy dreams don't follow though. I wake up screaming, from a nightmare, it seems Jack has experienced too...
