Being Sick and My BFF with My BF

Paris' P.O.V.

We left the guys at Lowe's as London and I made our way to the ice cream shop. I can't believe Tyrone is back. At least I won't have to see him. That's good. And besides, I'm completely over it. I've got my friends, school work, and my huge kitchen. What more can I ask for? I'll worry about relationships later. I'm mean, I'm only sixteen. I have time. London doesn't bring up the subject on the way to the ice cream shop. Instead, we talk about the dance coming up. This Friday is our school dance for juniors. They start selling tickets the week of the dance, but the flyers are already up. We are both going. We decided to go as a group of friends. It's going to be me, London, Zoe, and our other friend Penelope (aka Penny). Zoe is driving. I already have my dress picked out. I'm mostly going because I have to cover it for the school blog, but I'm sure it's going to be fun.

London and I arrive at the ice cream shop. Brooklyn is already sitting at one of the tables with her Strawberry Cheesecake flavored ice cream. London and I order before joining her. I get Mint Chocolate Chip and London gets Rocky Road.

"Hey," London and I say as we reach Brooklyn at the table and take our seats.

"Hey. So, what's up?" Brooklyn asks.

"Nothing much," I reply. "Except for the fact that Tyrone is back." I have to tell her, she's my other best friend.

"What? Like Tyrone Morrison, not Tyrone Dallas the one Tony is friends with?" Brooklyn asks.

"Yes, Tyrone Morrison," I reply.

"Oh. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. But anyway, what's up with you?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"Nothing much," Brooklyn shrugs as she licks her ice cream. "Ooh, I think Zoe might like someone."

"Who's the poor victim she's constantly talking about this time?" London asks. We all laugh. It's not that Zoe is constantly talking about boys, that's what our friend Amy does. It's just that the last guy Zoe liked she talked about constantly. She was lovesick. It was super funny.

"I don't know. But, earlier today she texted me saying 'what would you do it you ended up liking someone you never thought you would' or something like that," Brooklyn answers.

"Hmm," I think. Who could she possibly like that she would never fall for? One name pops into my mind. Wyatt. Ha! Yeah right! I laugh hard in my mind at the thought. That's impossible. When that happens, it will be the end of the world. Maybe it's Tony? Or Justin? Or...I don't know. "I don't know. She'll tell us soon enough." We continue to talk about other things.

......

I wake up Monday morning with a cough. I feel so bad. I place my palm on my forehead and I feel the intense warmness. I feel saliva rush up my throat. Oh no! I place my hand over my mouth and rush to my bathroom. I end up puking in the toilet. Great! After flushing the toilet, I rinse my mouth out and walk out to the dinning room to see my mom eating her breakfast.

"Good morning sweetheart. Are you okay? You look sick," she asks.

"I just threw up. I don't think I should go to school," I reply.

"Yeah. Sweetheart, I'll get Benjamin to get you breakfast. Go lay down." I do as she says and walk up to my room. Benjamin (aka Benny to me) is our butler. My step-dad is a famous T.V. producer. Benny soon brings me some blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice. I thank him as he leaves and dig into my breakfast in bed as I put on Once Upon A Time on my T.V..

Brooklyn's P.O.V.

School seem to finish fast today. Which is a good thing, considering it's Monday. Paris texted London and I say that she was sick and isn't coming to school. Other than that, today was pretty normal. Normal teachers, normal school work, normal drama, and normal homework. I walk through the courtyard heading to the parking lot, when something catches my attention. Zoe and Wyatt sitting on a bench together. What are they doing? I watch them as they talk. They both have been acting weird lately and I am so sick of it. I'm tired of fighting with Zoe and I know Wyatt is keeping something from me. They both are. I need to talk to them. Just as I'm about to walk over there, I see Wyatt and Zoe kiss. What?!?!? Impossible!

"What in the world is going on?" I say when I reach them. They both look up at me with wide eyes. I can't take it anymore. This is what they are doing? This is their secret? Zoe is my best friend. Wyatt is my boyfriend. How could they do this to me?

"Brook" Wyatt starts.

"Save it. I don't want to hear you dump explanation," I cut him off. "How can you guys do this? You're my boyfriend"- I point at Wyatt- "and you're my best friend." I point at Zoe. They both look at me silently. Unbelievable.

"Brooklyn" Zoe starts to stand up

"No," I say. I'm so mad and angry and really sad. I can't believe them. My best friend kissed my boyfriend. The guy I love kissed my best friend. "Just stay away from me. And I'm done with you, Wyatt. I'm done with the both of you." I shake my head and run off to my car.

As soon as I'm in, I let tears run down my face. The come out like a river. I let myself cry. Why me? This happens to me. I place my hands on the steering wheel and look around. My head drops as my forehead touches the steering wheel. I cry even more. After a few minutes, I take deep breaths. I'm still crying as I pull out of the parking lot and make my way to the mall. I know it's silly, but I need to think. And Dimond's Music Palace is the place. It's a store in the mall where you can listen to music and shop for CDs and vinyl records. It's my favorite store and I go there to think. Also, my aunt is the owner.

I'm on my way to the mall. I can't believe they would do that to me. After all the times Wyatt said he loves me more than anything in the world and Zoe saying she's my bestest friend ever and forever. Tears rush down my face. Water drops soon pound on my window sheid as it starts to rain hard. I'm on the highway and my radio is loud as the song Wasting All These Tears by Cassadee Pope plays. The last thing I hear is a car beep and a loud crash as I bang my head on the steering wheel and everything goes black.
