Path of Destruction

Chapter 4: Best friend or Backstabber?

After Kade and I broke up Kolt's best friend Grant started talking to me. Some of my friends and I were going to go to the movies on a Saturday night. I got enough guts to ask Grant if he wanted to go. The weather was going to be really bad the night that we were supposed to go. Two days after  I asked Grant to come I asked one of my friends if we were still going and she said no. 

I did not want to tell Grant that I could not go because I did not want him to think that I did not like him because I did. I asked my best friend Violet if she wanted to go to the movies. I made the mistake and told he that Grant was going to be there. "No and nice try using me" was her response. I did not mean to make it sound like she was going to be a third wheel or that I was going just because of him. To be honest it would have been awkward anyways if it were just him and I. If the rules were reversed I would have went with her if she asked me.  Violet and I make up after that but we were not as good of friends.

I told Grant sorry but I can't make it to the movies on Saturday. He did not talk to me as much after that. It took me a couple days to get him to talk to me again.  When we would talk I started to like him and I thought that he liked me. 

One day we were talking about meeting up to "hang out." We were really just going to do more than just hang out. He let me pick the time and day but I let him pick where we were going to do the things we wanted to.  I told my mom that Grant and I wanted to get Kolt a gift since he got his 100th win in wrestling. (Author's note, it is very rare for a high school wrestler to get his/her 100th win.) My mom said that it was ok for Grant and I to hang out. I really don't like lying to my mom but I knew she would never let me see Grant if I told her the real reason we were going to hang out. A couple days before we were going to hook up we had to cancel because he had something going on and he was going to be out of town for the whole weekend. 

Violet's parents asked her one day about Grant and she told them about the movies and what ever else they wanted to know about him. I never told Violet about the hooking up part I just told her that Grant and I were going to hang out. I'm really glad I never told her that. Her parents told Taylor and Taylor told my dad. My dad called my mom one morning and kept asking her questions about him. She told him that we were friends and that he was Kolt's best friend. Taylor and my dad were under the assumption that I was lying and sneaking around behind their backs just so I could see Grant. If I were to sneak out of the house I would have called my mom to come pick me up and not a guy. 

They never confronted me about it. They just called my mom and asked her for information. My mom and I are really close and she was the one to tell me what they were saying. I was pissed at my dad and Taylor. After I had open gym for softball one day I told my dad next time you want to know about a guy ask me and not my mom. 

A couple weeks after I found out that it was Violet and her parents that that told Taylor. I was so pissed off at her I snap chatted her and confronted her about it. "I did not tell Taylor I swear." Thats what she told me. " Ok did you tell your parents then?" I asked. She told me " Yeah I told them so I wouldn't get in trouble." I was beyond pissed off after she said that.  My last comment to her was "Next time don't tell secrets and maybe you won't lose a friend." 

The next morning I woke up and got ready for school. When I was all ready Taylor asked me if my dad is still picking up Violet. I told her that I don't know. "You should not be mad at Violet. She should be mad at you for even asking her to do what you did." That's the last thing that came out of Taylor's mouth before I walked out of the door. My dd also took Violets side. I know that I should of not even asked her. Violet and I had been friends for two years and I thought that I could ask her something like that but I guess I was wrong. My dad and I never have had a good relationship. It got worse when he married Taylor. I don't even know what came over me when I thought that he would take my side and be there for me. It sad that I love Scott more that my own dad. Scott and my mom where the only ones on my side. 

One night my mom told me that I should still be friends with Violet but I don't have to tell her my secrets. Violet and I are not really friends but not enemies.  (Author's note. Sorry if that does not make since. That was the best way I could explain it since I have know Idea what we are.) 

My mom told me that Grant has a girlfriend and it was like a knife in the gut. I thought that he liked me. He even told me that he does not like any of the girls my brother hangs out with. Kolt and I hardly ever talk and it is really awkward between us.  The only time Grant and I talk is when we do our streaks on snapchat.
