Die For Something Beautiful

Bonfire Disaster

I wake up to the sound of my alarm ringing as I do any other day. I slowly unwrap myself from Emerson's warm embrace and get ready for school. I shower and do my makeup as usual and walk into my closet choosing an Aerosmith shirt, black skinny jeans, and a square vintage cardigan. I put on my brown boots and as I get my phone from my nightstand I kiss Emerson's forehead causing him to wake up.

"Morning sunshine, I didn't mean to wake you up I'm leaving to school. I'll see you soon you can stay in my bed if you want" I say softly as I smile to him. He just nods his head and falls back asleep. I walk out of my room shutting the door and I look and see Sam still fast asleep. I take a deep breathe and walk in and see another person in the bed with him. I walk a bit closer and my eyes widen. I see Sam holding Chelsea and a tear slowly runs down my face. I quickly wipe it away and walk out of his room and into the kitchen. I try to hold my tears as best as I could but I couldn't do it I start to quietly sob. I feel someone's hand on my shoulder and I turn to see Arabella.

"Scar what's wrong" She asks pulling me in for a hug.

"I just found Sam and Chelsea sleeping together" I sob

"I'm so sorry Scar but I thought you like Emerson why are you upset?" She murmurs

"I do but just seeing them together like that it hurt me." I cry out

"Oh Scar where are your keys?"

"On the counter Ara" I sniffle pulling away.

"Come on get your bag and wallet."She demands grabbing my keys. I do as she says and follow her out the door and into the car. I get in the passenger seat and she starts typing away on her phone. She then pulls out of the driveway and stops in front of Lila's house where Lila and Mia stood waiting. They quietly get in and Mia just sets her hand on my shoulder. I softly smile and Ara begins to drive off. I lean on the window as she continues to drive.

"Ara where are you going. We're gonna be late for school." I croak

"We aren't going to school Scar. We're gonna take a break and go somewhere better." She smiles as she stares at the road. I finally stop crying and take my compact out. I wipe the bits where my eyeliner smudged and reapply powder onto my face. I put the compact back into my purse and I see Arabella driving to Venice Beach. Lila grabs the aux cord and plugs her phone in playing music. I take out my phone and start typing.

'Hey I saw you in bed with her.. Looks like you finally gave in and decided to be with her.. I'm happy for you hope you finally found the girl you deserve to be with..' I stop before I send it and reread it. My eyes begin to water and I quickly send it before I regret it I lock my phone and put it away staring out of the window. My mind begins to wander. Could this mean that I have had feelings for Sam but just never realized it until now? I never seen him more than just a friend I don't understand my sudden change. Seeing Chelsea wrapped in his arms makes me livid but she has done nothing for me to be upset at her for. My thoughts get interrupted when Lila calls out my name saying we're here. We all get out the car and walk out of the parking lot towards this cafe we love to come to. Arabella softly smiles and hugs me as I softly smile back. Lila and Mia walked ahead while Arabella and I stayed behind talking.

"I knew you texted Sam what did you say" She sighs.

"I said that I saw him and that I'm happy for him and hope he found the girl he deserves" I mutter

"You lied you're upset why would you say you're happy when you're clearly not." Lila turns

"I don't want him to know I'm upset. That's stupid I'm just showing him that I can be happy for him finding someone while him on the other hand is treating me like I did something wrong."
