Ch. 15 I Thought He Cared

Jordan Pov*

I cried the rest of the night.

I can't believe he would do this! I thought he loved me! Or at least liked me a lot... I guess that's what I deserve going out with Trey... He's never been fully committed to anyone. I mean he cheated on Haley and Libby Freedom with each other and they are sisters! He was cheating on Natalie behind her back with her best friend Emily and Nat still doesn't know! He dated Sammy then broke her heart by telling her that he didn't like her anymore. She had already fallen hard for him and he just said 'eh... I don't like you back that way anymore.' He's a jerk! He doesn't care about girls, and I guess I have now just realized that all he cares about is sex and how far he can take it with a girl. I would have forgiven him, but he had to go and have sex with Abby. That girl irks me. She doesn't like me for no apparent reason. She is the whole reason why I'm mad at him anyway. I don't think I can ever talk to him again. I never want to even see him again, but that won't happen because I have every class with him except for homeroom. I'm in 309 and he is in 105. Okay, Jordan, stop thinking about him. Just forget him.

I was thinking to myself when I was getting ready for school. I don't even want to go, but I have to go to show Trey that I was strong. When he left yesterday, I wanted to call him or go find him and tell him I forgive him. I just feel empty inside. A piece of my heart was still attached to Trey. I mean he was funny, overly attractive, outgoing, easy to talk to, interesting, athletic, and nice ( for the most part). I knew I would always love him even if I move on. I have never felt so passionate about a guy. He makes me smile, when I just think about him. When I see him, I get shivers. When he touches me, my heart races a million miles a minute and the shivers pick up. And when he kisses me... Snap out of it, Jordan! You broke up with him because he cheated on you!

I finished getting ready, still thinking about Trey the whole time. By the time I got to school, I had convinced myself that I would forgive him and ask for him back. I went to my locker and started putting books in my locker. Connor, Lexi, Mac, and Sammy all came over and started talking to me. I told them my plan and they all looked hesitant... like there was something I was missing and I would be so angry when I found out. What was going on and why was I the one who seemed to be out of the loop?

That's when I heard laughing coming from the left side. I looked down the hall to see Trey standing with his foot and back against the wall. He was talking to John and Tori, but it looked different. Tori was leaning into Trey's chest and he had his left arm wrapped around Tori's waist. That was how I would stand with Trey in the halls when we were... No... No no no no no no no. NO! No, this can't be happening! I started feeling lightheaded. I turned to Sammy and the look on her face just confirmed my thoughts.

Trey and Tori were going out...

Sammy walked me to religion.

Me: When did this happen?

Sammy: Yesterday... Tori went over to Trey's house to talk to him about the whole thing. Well turns out, Trey ended up asking her out. As you saw, she said yes.

Me: Well, what about me?

We stopped right outside my door. She looked at me with pity and sorrow. Sammy was my best friend. We had been best friends ever since 1st grade at St. Henry Grade School. I could always count o her to cheer me up. We were almost inseparable. No one got me like Sam, not even Trey...

Sammy: I really don't know, Jo-Dan...

Jo-Dan was a nickname that Savannah had given me. It had really stuck with most of the basketball team, Sammy being one of them.

Sammy walked to her class and I went in. I saw Trey sitting behind McKenzie and next to Shelby. I sat in front of Shelby and next to McKenzie. He was talking to Shelby and he was laughing.
