Love Is Strong

Chapter 6

Sarah's P.O.V.

I'm standing outside the ice cream shop. I'm wondering if I should tell Adaieh or not. If it was the other way around she'll tell me right? Ugh! I just had to be curious and follow Andre. I might as well tell her before she finds out. It'll be even worse then.

I walked in the shop and spotted Adaieh. Best friends shouldn't keep secrets from each other. I went to the table she was sitting at and realize that she was looking happy. The number one thing I hate to do is hurt her feelings. I guess I'll can tell her later?

"Hey Adaieh." I sat down.

Hmm, what flavor should I get?

"Okay what's wrong?"

Wow, she's getting straight to the point. I hate that she can read me so easily like a kindergarten book.

"What? Nothing's wrong. I see you have mint chocolate. What flavor should I get?" I can try to change to subject. Adaieh's easily distracted.

"You tried every flavor in here. Maybe you should start over with strawberry-no! We're not changing the subject. Tell me what's wrong." Damn it! I was so close.

I sighed in disoppointment.

"Okay. I guess I should tell you. I shouldn't keep secrets from you. You'll never do that to me. I mean best friends should be honest with each other, even if it has to do with an ugly sweater. There shouldn't be-"

"Today Sarah!" Man she's hitting every curve ball I throw at her.

"Fine! Adaieh," How do I say this? "Well....I saw-"

"Hey guys! Sorry, let me rephrase that. Hey ladies."

Oh. My. Gosh. He just had to come. When I was about to say the thing that's been drilling a hole in me, he comes? Talk about bad timing. I threw an irritated look his way. He didn't seem to catch it but Adaieh did.

Why did he have to do that? He must have forgotten the things Becca did. Well I don't know much, I just met them this school year, but I know enough that Becca is a snake. And the fact that Andre is with her is unbelievable. Andre's not a friend if he's dating the enemy. He's a no good, lying, selfish, son of a b-

"Sarah!"

I snap out of my thoughts hearing somebody calling me name. I didn't even know we started talking.

"Huh? Sorry, what? Actually, I'll just go get my ice cream." I stood up, looking for my money in my purse. Why did I bring this? I could've just put the money in my pocket. Oh the things that fashion will make you do.

"Can you get me a sherbet? Cone, one scoop?" Andre was holding the money out for me. I really didn't want to take it but I manage a fake smile and took it anyway.

I don't want him thinking that I know something, he'll probably try to blackmail me or bribe me or something.

I walked up in line seeing that there was nobody there.

Hmm, slow day. This place is usually pack.

"Hey Sarah. What can I getcha?"

Beth is bubbly as ever. It's like nothing wrong goes on with her life. I can actually believe that due to all the helping she do with others. If only I can live her life.

"Uhhh, I'll get a strawberry cone, one scoop, and a sherbet cone, also one scoop."

"Okie dokie coming right up." She frowned. "You seem a little bit down darling. What's wrong?" She asked this while she was getting the ice cream.

Am I that easy to read? Like seriously?

"No, nothing's wrong Beth."

"Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything." He handed me my strawberry cone.

Maybe I can tell her without actually telling her. I licked the cone.

"It's just that I saw something I wasn't supposed to see and I don't know if I should tell a person because it can hurt that person's feelings."

Beth seemed to understand what was going on. She's most definitely not slow.

"Ohhh. Well, if I was that person, I would like to be told what happened because if I found out for myself and know that somebody was keeping it from me, it would hurt a lot more." She handed me the other ice cream and I gave her the money.

See how good her advice is? I bet she didn't even think about. I wouldn't be surprise if she had a camera room in the back and watches everyone and everything.

I thought about what she was saying though. I should tell Adaieh. It'll be better for her to find out now then for her to find out later and to know that I knew and didn't tell her.

"Okay." I nodded. "Thanks Beth, for the ice cream and for the advice. I really needed it." I looked at the ice cream and licked it. "Both of them." I turned around but stopped when I heard my name being called.

"Sarah? One more thing."

"Yes Beth."

"Bestfriends should always tell each other everything, even if we know its gonna hurt their feelings. It'll be better for them to hear it from somebody that cares about them."

I smiled and nodded. Walkimg to my seat I thought on how I can tell Adaieh.

Boy, Beth sure knows what to say and when to say it and also how to say it. That's what I love about her. She's like a second mom to me.

"Here." I handed Andre his ice cream and licked mine. "Adaieh, tomorrow when we go clothes shopping, can we go to the park first?"

I chose the park 'cause I know it's her favorite place to think and stuff. Also because with the view of the lake, it'll probably be easier to tell her.

"Yeah, sure. Don't really see a reason why not." She glanced at Andre and shrugged.

For some reason, I caught a hopefully look in her eye.

"Good. We need more girl time besides shopping."

I knew if I didn't say that, then Andre will invite hinself. He does that a lot so sometimes I have to put it out there that I just want me and Adaieh to go, no boys. Unless, you know, we want there to be. (wink wink) Omg, my innerself is forever funny.

I really hope I'm doing the right thing here. Telling Adaieh about Andre and Becca. On the brightside, Adaieh will be 'less hurt' as Beth put it.

I really hope it works. I really hope there won't be any disruptions. I really hope I'll be able to say it without messing it up. I really hope I don't get this wrong.

But I mostly hope that I won't be losing a friend.
