Just Another Love Story

Texting and Tessa

Mason's POV
Its been 3 days since school started and I feel as if ive already got Tessa wrapped around my finger. We've been texting each other non-stop. The best part is, when I flirt with her , she flirts back.
Also, Juliette asked to speak with me yesterday and I just said no. I dont want Juliette and Becca getting in the way of what Tessa and I have.
I know I might seem like a total fuck boy for banging Becca and ignoring her , but it really is the best for both of us. Ive gone and ruined our friendship by being a stupid , horny teenage boy. I Dont think Becca would ever forgive me for this.
However , its the right thing to do.

Beccas POV
Two days feels like two years when your best friend doesnt talk to you. I feel awful. Ashamed and lonely.
I really dont know how much longer I can take of this.
I wish I could go back in time and prevent all of this from happening , and then I would have my best friend back.
But no. Instead , im being replaced by a cute blond in a pencil skirt.
If I didnt hate my life enough before. I deaffinatley hate it now.
Im just going to text Mason and see if he has the decency to reply...

Becca- Hey , please talk to me...i miss you.
Well, if he doesnt reply to that then I will just give up all hope.

3 hours later...

Mason- hey.
Becca- why haven't you spoke to me ?!
Mason- ive been busy.
Becca- dont pull that shit with me , you've been avoiding me all summer and now at school. What is wrong ? Im hurting when you walk past me as If im a ghost. I smile at you and wave and you act like im not there at all! Do you know how that makes me feel ?
Mason- im sorry you feel that way. But I dont see you. Soz lol.
Becca- 'Soz lol'. Is that all you have to say ? I am officially done wasting my time worrying about you Mason. Just forget about me because I never want to hear your name again.
Mason-  Becca , wait. Meet me?
Becca- its 11pm.
Mason- ill see you in the alley way behind your house ? 5 mins?
Becca- fine.

So, I went off to the alley way behind my house to meet Mason.
As I peeked around the corner , I saw him standing there , texting on his phone.
It was almost pitch black but I could see his face from the light of his phone.
"Hey." I said , startling him.
"Oh hey" he said.
Mason turned off his phone and put it into his hoodie's pocket.
"Why did you ask me to meet you?" I said , slowly walking closer to him.
"Im...sorry. Im sorry ive been blanking you . But there is a reason. I just cant tell you.." He said with an apologetic smile
"Its fine." I said with a dull tone.
"Becca please."
As I tried to turn away, Mason grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms, hugging me tightly.
"I dont expect you to forgive me. Just ,please. Im doing this for us."
I pulled away from his cosy , tight grip and looked at him with anger and pain practically written all over my face.
"Who do you think I am?! Im a human being , you cant treat me this way ! You're my best friend Mason , why are you doing this if you know it feels like millions of knives plunging into my heart." I yelled , holding in my tears.
"Becca , please! I cant help this."
"So , you just want to walk out of my life. Just like that. You think its that easy to leave an impact on someones life like you have , and just walk away with no explanation whatsoever ?!" I cried , letting the tears flow down my cheeks like rain droplets on a window.
Before I could blink, Mason picked me up , pushing my back against the cold brick wall , wrapping my legs around his waist. He crashed his lips against mine and I didnt want to stop kissing him. I didnt want to break this feeling of happiness I felt inside, Like a warm glow flowing through my veins. He ran his fingers through my hair , still not breaking the kiss. Our tongues danced together.
Suddenly , Mason pulled away, drooping his head but still holding me up.
"Becca." He whispered
"What?"
"We shouldn't be doing this."
"I know." I replied
Mason gently lifted me down , allowing my feet to touch the cold concrete floor.
"This is why i have to avoid you." He said with a lump in his throat.
"Why? Why do you have to avoid me. Mason , that was a mistake right ? We can still move on and forget about all of that-"
"No. I cant forget a feeling." Mason butted in.
I stared blankly into his eyes and he realised what he had just said. A single tear fell from his eye and he began to walk away.
"Im sorry." He said , turning to walk the opposite direction.

But.... What did he mean by he cant forget a feeling ?
