Chapter 105
Colton's POV
*One Week Later*
A day after my injury, Sarah sent me a text, wondering if I was okay. We've started talking normally again and I miss being with her so much. I had my dad drive me over to her house since I'm not allowed to drive for a while.
I knocked on her door and her mom opened the door.
"Colton! What happened!"
"Uhm, I fell." I shrugged.
"Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded.
"I just broke it a bit. I only need to be in the cast for a few months." I said.
"Well, I'm glad you're okay."
"Yeah, can I talk to Sarah?"
"Sure, she's in her room." She said, opening the door wider to let me in. I walked into the house and made my way up the stairs. Her door was open and I knocked on the door frame.
"Oh, hi Colton." She said, turning around to look at me. I walked in and sat on her bed.
"Hi." I said, nervous as hell.
"What's up?"
"Please, take me back." I begged, falling onto my knees in front of her. "I miss you so much and I just need you in my life again." I said, my voice cracking.
"No."
"W-What?" I asked, tears forming in my eyes.
"I can't Colton. I don't want to be your rebound. I don't want to be your second choice. I don't want to fall in love with you all over again, only to get my heart stomped on again when Cassie breaks up with her boyfriend. You said it yourself Colton, you love Cassie and I think you guys belong together. I don't want to have to put my entire life on hold to be your side chick. I still want to be your friend, I want to be your support system, I don't want to be your girlfriend." She said and I couldn't even form any words.
"I-I have to go."
"Colto-"
"I can't be here right now." I said and left, deciding to walk home.

A few days later, I began to sit at lunch with Sarah, away from my friends. I just could not be around Cassie right now. I stood up and went to go throw away my tray and I guess I moved my hand wrong because I felt a sharp pain shoot up my arm.
"FUCK!" I screamed, cradling my hand.
"You okay dude?" Omar asked.
"Fuck off." I hissed.
"He was asking if you were okay." Cassie said, obviously mad.
"I don't fucking care. I don't know him. I don't want to know him. He doesn't get to know if I'm okay because it's none of his fucking business."I said. Cassie sighed and stood up, grabbing my left wrist and pulling me out into the hallway.
"Okay, what the fuck is going on with you."
"It's none of his business if I'm okay or not. He's not my fucking friend."
"What do you have against Omar? He has literally done nothing to you!"
"He ruined my life!"
"Excuse me?"
"I realized I loved you Cassie. It finally fucking hit me and I had to break up with Sarah because I wanted to try to give us a try! Then, I see you making out with some random guy! That hurt Cassie! Now, Sarah won't take me back and I punched a wall and broke my hand because I was so angry and it's just not fair! I've had a hard fucking life and I deserve to be happy but I guess that's never going to fucking happen!"
"Listen up, asshole." Cassie growled, pushing me against the wall. "1. I'm sorry that my happiness is so inconvenient for you. Sorry I didn't want to wait eight more years for you to realize you love me. I have liked you since the fourth grade and I waited so long for you to ask me out, but you never did. You didn't have problems asking other girls out though. I figured you would figure out that I liked you, so I waited and I waited and I waited. I rejected so many potentially great guys, because I wanted to be available just in case. Finally, Omar came along and I said fuck it. I deserve to be happy, I don't have to wait around anymore. 2. I'm sorry Sarah won't take you back but you can't just fuck with people's feelings like that. It's not nice and people generally don't like that. 3. I'm sorry your life has been so hard because of your poor choices. I'm sorry that you fell in with the wrong crowd multiple times, I'm sorry that crowd has given you poor experiences, but there is literally no one to blame, except for yourself. You did drugs, you drank, you were promiscuous, you drove drunk, you went to juvie, you dated the wrong girls, you did all of these things to yourself Colton. Now, please don't attack my boyfriend because you feel sorry for yourself." She said and walked back into the cafeteria.
I paced around a bit, trying so hard not to break my other hand. I walked back into the cafeteria and sat with Sarah in silence until the bell rang.
