//Kinley's POV\\

"We need to find Weston and tell him you're okay." Blake told me and I nodded. The rain continued to pour down on us as we walked back to the car. When we arrived, Weston was leaning against the hood with his head hanging low.

He had tears running down his cheeks, but they blended in with the rain drops. His eyes were reddened from the stinging of the tears, and his nose sniffled. I walked to him and layed a hand on his shoulder. Weston turned around and wrapped his arms around me.

I felt him jolt slightly as he sobbed into my shoulder. "I'm sorry." Weston told me. "Don't be. We're going to get through this. I promise. You've stuck by me through everything. You were my first best friend and you still are. Nothing's changed." I said, attempting to comfort him.

"I don't want to be the reason for all of your problems. But lately it seems like I am. I'm the one who made Blake mad at you in the first place. And now I'm the reason you're pregnant. Maybe I'm just a waste of space." He said, the last part barely audible.

"Weston, stop. You're not a waste of space. I need you in my life. We all screw up sometimes. We have to learn from our mistakes. But if you're willing to be here for me, then I'm going to be here for you." I told him, looking him straight in the eyes.

"I'm here." He told me, laying his head back on my shoulder. I turned my head to look at Blake who had tears in his eyes too. He mouthed "let's go" so I pulled away from Weston. "Let's go." I told him. Weston nodded and followed us into the car.

"I need to say something to both of you. Before we leave." I told the two boys. "I love both of you more than anything. You two have stuck by me since the fourth grade. Yeah, we have our fights and our problems. But that doesn't make us any less close. I'm not letting this...situation, change us." I said.

"God damnit, Kinley!" Weston shouted, slamming his fist on the car door. It startled Blake and I, and I noticed how we both jumped a bit. "You make it so hard to deny it Kinley! Everytime I tell myself I don't, you say something and it makes me know I do!" He yelled, throwing his arms around in anger.

"What are you talking about, Weston?" I asked him. "Just go. Let's just leave." He told Blake and then he started the car, taking Weston's orders. I turned back around and sat slouching in my seat. The whole car ride was silent. Everything's so messed up. And I don't know what to do to make it all better.

Guys, I apologize for not updating in so long. I've been having a lot of trouble with school and I've had football games to cheer at alongside practice and busy weekends.

Anyway, what do you think Weston's deal is?
