I needed some time alone. Jay and Carlos already gave me comfort, and Jane and Lonnie had been so nice to me. I wasn't mad at Chad, I never expected anything from him, I knew how he really was although I could never admit it, I was so blindingly attracted to him. But, Mal...? She never liked Chad, I've always could tell it because of the way she looked at him with such contempt. I was so hurt, the only person I trusted in had just betrayed me. I guess that 'Best Friends Forever' is the same as 'They Lived Happily Ever After': non of them are true, or at least not for forever. I didn't know friends could break your heart, too.
I got scared by a noise behind me, I turned back to see what was it and, guess what? It was the only person I didn't want to see, Mal.
'H...hey,' she stutter. 'Can we talk, please?', her eyes were red and full of water. I've never seen her so sad and hurt before, she wasn't a person of feelings.
'Talk about what, Mal? I don't wanna see you, I need to be alone,' I really meant it. I couldn't think, eat, or even sleep. I really needed time to process everything.
'Oh, yeah, I understand,' she said looking down, 'At least just let me tell you something, I really am sorry, I don't know what happened because I love Ben and I hate Chad, I know you've always known it...'
'I guess I knew wrong,' I interrupted her. Why didn't she leave? She looked at me in the eyes and I could tell that she indeed was sorry, but I just couldn't forgive her. 'Please, leave.'
'Yes, I will. Just... just one more thing,' she came closer and kissed me on the cheeck, 'I love you,' she said looking right into my eyes, and then she left.
Mal POV
'Don't worry, Mal. I mean, you really messed it up, yes, but you two can't live without each other. You will find a way to work it out,' Carlos said. He and Jay weren't mad at me, only kind of surprised. Their comfort made me feel a little better, and knowing that they are by my side gave me hope, maybe they could help me win Evie back. I knew she needed time, I owed it to her.
What if she never forgives me? I said to myself. Every single thing reminded me of her. We had so many memories together, how was I supposed to get over it?

I knew that for her was even worse, her best friend betrayed her with her stupid not- yet- boyfriend. People started to look at me as if they were seeing a monster (again, just like when I moved here for the first time). Can't blame them. I felt like one.
All happened last night, but it felt like an eternity to me. I needed Evie back. Lonnie, who kind of felt sorry for me, as I was always sad or crying in a corner, told me that it was just a matter of time. Her heart needed to heal, and when she felt ready to forgive me, everything were going to be back the way it used be, but there was something empty inside of me, like if there ware a giant space between Evie and me who was pushing each other away. I closed my eyes and hoped to see her in our room again the next day...
