My (Brothers) Best Friend

A day

I wake up this morning feeling worse. Last night I was thinking about everything and I realized. I really was falling for Mason. And it made me cry all night so now I have a horrible headache I'm sad and my eyes are still swollen. I get up and go to the washroom I take a quick shower and do the rest of my things. Today I wear some sweatpants and a loose white crop top. I slip on my converse and grab my things and leave. Lila's picking me up again.

"Thanks for picking me up lately" I tell her.

"No problem anything for my bestie" she smiles I give her a small smile. "You okay?" She asked as she started to drive.

"Yeah just a little sad" I admit.

"Hey don't be" she said. "I need my bestie Maddison Collins" she says. She turns the radio up.

We get to the school I put my things away and lean against my locker bored and tired. I see him Luke's talking to him. A sudden wave of sadness comes over me. I close my eyes for a minute and open them.

"You...I saw you yesterday and totally embarrassed myself" I hear a deep voice I turn it's the guy that saw me at the park talking to myself.

"Oh yeah...are you new here?" I asked he nods.

"Not gonna lie you look like a mess" he tells me.

"Shut up" I mutter he laughs.

"So, who is it...which one?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The ex?" He asked back.

"Oh, the hot one" I mutter.

"Sorry I'm not a girl I don't know which one you're talking about" he tells me.

"The one with the green eyes brown hair tallest one there probably wearing black jeans with a white shirt" I tell him not wanting to point and no I didn't see what he was wearing I was just looking at his face.

"Oh, he looks dead he looks like he's been contemplating life for weeks and he's actually pretty much wearing the same thing as you sweatpants and a white shirt" he said. I look he is. "May I ask how you two broke up?" He asked.

"It's really confusing" I mutter. Mason looks over here and I turn. Quickly. "Well he's my brothers best friend for starters" I say.

"Ooh" he nods.

"And we had this thing where we fought but not in actually hating each other more like love, hate thing he is and was extremely annoying. But anyways we kinda started dating in secret...and it was good" I say taking a breath. "Then first my best friend found out and I don't know like a week or more after she found out my brother did, saying all these things like. "He's not good enough" "he's a player" "he just sleeps with girls and leaves". He is a player and he says he puts this act because he has "family issues" and all that" he nods. "Then the next day" I take a deep breath so I can compose myself. "He wanted to talk after school Mason, and at the park that my brother found out because we were on a secret date and I told my brother that I was with my friend I lied obviously but anyways he broke up with me. Saying how my brother was right he's not good enough and that I deserve better. He's gonna break my heart one day and he doesn't want to hurt me which ha, he obviously did" I say. "So yeah that's pretty much it" I sigh wanting to cry again.

"It is kinda confusing...but yeah you can see that both of you are sick being without each other" he said.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked he nods. "It doesn't look like he's miserable" I mutter.

"Do you see his bags, and what he's wearing and he doesn't even seem engaged in the conversation" he points out. I get the clothes that's weird because he wears the same thing everyday and it's just different. I shrug.
