I PROMISE...

Chapter Seven

All day on November 24, 2016

It has been about a week since I have talked to anyone. After what happened between Harvey and me I talked to Rachel and Eva and found out that they knew the wholes time. They never told me. I feel so betrayed. I trusted them. I learned my lesson though. Never trust anyone. I have not tried to talk to Victor in a while. I know not to trust anyone any more but I miss them. I miss the way Victor always tried to cheer me up. Even when we did not even know each other's name. I miss the way Eva always laughed and smiled all the time. I miss talking to Rachel about the silliest of things that no one else understands. I miss them all. I cry because of all the memories. I do not relies it until I feel someone's arms around me.

"Why are you crying JoJo?" I hear a soft voice say in my ear. I began to cry more. "I hope you know that we all miss you. Rachel, Eva, and me. Why did you not talk to us for a week?" Victor asked.

"Because I felt betrayed." I sniffled. "They knew that he was cheating on me and never told me. I thought they were my friends."

"They didn't want to make you mad at them. They are your real friends. Sure, they made a mistake by not telling you but they did not know how you would react. They love you, like a friend of course, but they do. Why don't you eat lunch with us again? Okay".

"Okay", I respond.

We walk to lunch after we talked. I sit down in my normal spot. I was expecting Rachel and Eva to tell me to move. They never did they just gave me a hug and told me how much they missed me and how they were sorry. I forgave them.

At the end of the day, Victor decided to walk me home. I was glad. He stayed near me on the way. "Are you okay?" he asks me.

"Yeah. I am glad that you talked to me before lunch. I really missed you people. I have a question to ask you", I mumbled.

"Sure you can ask me anything you know that", he chuckled.

"Why did you walk me home today? I could have done it myself. I mean I do it all the time so why today?" I ask.

"Well I just wanted to make sure you got home safe. I didn't want you walking home alone and you get hurt or anything", he confessed.

"Okay then", tried to hide my blush. He was sweet. He walked me to my door then hugged me good-bye. I walked inside and headed for my room. Once I got in there and got time to think. I then thought that if it was not for Victor I would be alone. If it were not for that dare, then I would have never met Victor. It is funny how much that I have changed from the dare.
