The Last Year

A Best Friends Advice

A couple days after the sleepover at Kate's house I was a reck. I would pace back and forth in my room. I couldn't think clearly about how to break up with Wes. Jeremiah called me and texted me but I wouldn't answer. I didn't want anything to do with him. I felt helpless and like the world was moving too fast. I didn't know what to do. So I called the only person I knew could help me. "Hello?" Kelsey said. "Kels are you free this afternoon?" I say. Kelsey was basically my sister. We were super close. She would know exactly what to do. "Yeah. You wanna hang out?" She asks. "Yes!! I have to tell you something. Some stuff has happened and I need your help." I say. "Mia are you okay?" I can tell by the tone of her voice that she's very worried. "No actually. I'm not okay but I'll explain everything later. Come to my house around seven. Okay?" "Okay but you better explain EVERYTHING." She says. I laugh and smile. "I will don't worry. Bye." I turn my phone off and sit on my bed. I was going to get through this.

Kelsey came over a little earlier than seven and had dinner with me and my family. We then went up to my room so we could talk. I told her everything. She knew about Wesley how he was moving too fast but she didn't know that I still loved Jeremiah and that I had snuck out with him and that he had kissed me. I told her how I wanted to stay away from him for Kate's sake and how I needed to break up with Wesley but I was kind of chicken to. Finally when I was finished I said. "I'm a terrible person. What have I done?" Once again I was close to crying. "Mia your not a terrible person. It's not like when you snuck out with him you were expecting him to kiss you. I wouldn't even have thought he would kiss you since he treats you so bad around us. Now with the Wesley situation. I really wanted it to work out with you two but since he's been moving to fast and he's been a jerk lately you should break up with him. Also don't beat yourself up about still having feelings for Jeremiah. We're not perfect and we can't help the way we feel. I think if he wants to be with you he'll break up with Kate. It'll be okay." She then hugged me really tightly. "What would I do without you Kels?" I said releasing her embrace. She smiled at me and then her face got deadly serious. "Now call Wesley and break up with him now." She commanded. "Now? Over the phone?" I question. "Yes!! Do it before either Kate or Jeremiah tell him something that could make this much worse." Again Kels was right. "Fine." I say giving in. I get my phone and dial his number. He picks up and I suddenly get nervous. "Hey Wesley." I say looking at Kelsey for guidance in doing this. "Hey beautiful. What's up?" He says very casually. "We need to talk." I say closing my eyes breathing in deeply. "Okay..." He says. "Wesley this isn't working out. I'm breaking up with you." He goes silent for a moment and then he says." What?!? Mia why?" I sigh and I look to Kelsey. Her eyes are telling me to tell the truth or at least just a little bit of the truth. "I have feelings for someone that I thought I was over. It's not right for me to lead you on when I don't have any feelings for you." I can tell he's not happy. "Mia you bitch! You'll regret this!" And just like that he hung up on me. Immediately I felt relieved. "Do you think things will be better now?" I ask Kelsey. "I think so. Just stay away from Jeremiah. Being seen anywhere with him could make things worse." She then left and I was left to my thoughts. Jeremiah was somehow always the source to all my problems. I couldn't help but feel like I had done the right thing. I thought everything would get better. I was wrong.
