A few days later...

It's 3AM and I can't sleep. I've been crying for the last two hours. I can't keep mind off Billy and Jace and everything else. My life has been a total disaster ever since my date with Billy.

Every day at school Jace begs me to forgive him but I always shut him away, even on the days I don't want to. I've been lonely these past few days without Jace keeping me company. I've tried to read but it's no use anymore. Everything I do and say or think, reminds me of Jace. My mom's at work being a doctor and my dad is on business trips. I have nobody.

Jace used to be the one that'd weigh down my time with his dorkiness. But now that I've pushed him away, I've realized just how much I actually need him. He makes me happy and all I want is to be happy right now.

I sigh deeply tossing the plush basketball in my hand around. I can't deny that I miss Sam. She's all I've been thinking about lately. The fact that she won't answer my calls or texts or even say hi to me in the hallways at school is making me worried. I've never seen her like this and I don't know what to do. I thought for sure Maddie would cheer her up but that didn't even-

The doorbell rings inturupting my thoughts. I'm home alone so I run down stairs hoping it's Sam. I quickly unlock the door and squint my eyes.

"Billy? What are you doing here? It's 3AM." I say confused.

"It's Samantha. I can't stop thinking about what I did to her. Will you please tell her I'm sorry, I don't have the guts to do it myself." Billy says while nervously scratching the back of his head.

I furrow my eyebrows. "What? What did you do to her?"

Billy gasps. "Oh you don't know? I thought she-"

I clench my fists. "Get the hell off my front porch you ass. I don't want to hear you bend the truth. I'm going to Sam's house. "

I shoo him off of my porch and quickly put on my vans and slip my hoodie over my head. I grab my keys and get into my car. I zoom out of my driveway and speed down the street quickly dodging stop lights and wooshing past stop signs.

How come Sam didn't tell me what happened with Billy?

I pull into Sam's driveway and pull the keys out of the ignition. It doesn't look like her parents are home. I dash into her backyard and climb up the tree right next to her window. Once I'm high enough on the tree, I grab onto the ledge of her window seal and pear through.

She's crying.

Why is she crying?

Without thinking I slide her window up and crawl through. As soon as she sees me her eyes go wide and then she face palms and continues crying.

I broke her.

I run over to her and kneel next to her on the side of her bed. "Sam please don't cry. I don't like it when you cry."

She slowly looks up at me with teary eyes. "Why are you here?"

"Billy told me to tell you that he's sorry... But I came here to ask you what he did, and because I couldn't stop thinking about you.." I say running my finger through my hair.
