High School For Prodiges

Recovery

Day P.O.V.

I've just finished setting the table outside as I hear the door open. June walks in looking very upset.

"June! Dinner's ready!" She groans and lays down on the couch. What could've happened at my mom's house that would've made her so angry. But wait, if she was just at my mom's then they would be getting here right now too.

I walk into the living room and sit at he end of the couch that June is laying on. She's channel surfing and she really doesn't seem happy.

"You're better at this than actual surfing, yeah?" I joke.

"Shut up Day. I'm not in the mood." She says settling on Disney Channel.

"You want to go to the theater room and talk about it?" I ask. She nods.

"Can you carry me?" She asks jokingly. I pick her up and take her to the movie room. As I set her down in a chair she lets out a laugh that quickly fades.

"Okay, so what's wrong?"

"I broke up with Anden." She says. Yes! I mean no. If this makes her sad then I'm not happy about it.

"Oh. I'm sorry. What happened?"

"He cheated on me." She says. He's dead. Rest In PAIN Anden. "He'd apparently been cheating since about one month after we started dating."

"Okay. So tell me the whole story." I say trying to keep calm as I clench my fists.

"So I Was there at Anden's house and I was going to break up with him since it had been almost a year and I'm just really not that into him. And so as I was about to ring the doorbell I happen to look up into his room and see a girl start to kiss him. Not just any girl, Faith Miller."

"Ugh, I hate Faith." Faith bullied June half of middle school. I always stood up for her and June could hold her own but that's not to say that all of it didn't affect her.

"So I thought to look again, maybe I'm misreading it but he's kissing her back as he closed the blinds. So I ring the doorbell to see if he'll answer. And he doesn't."

"What then?" I ask trying not to sound too angry.

"Oh so I'd about had it. I went quietly inside and up the stairs. I was about to open the door and break up with him but I heard them talking. Anden told her "I know it's only been ten months but I love you' and Faith said it back. So Faith was saying how he should break up with me when I went in there and dumped him."

"Can I kill him? Like is there anything I can do to make his life miserable?"

"Well... he accused me of cheating on him. Is there anyway we can use that?" She asks. I could kiss you in front of our school.

"I don't know." I say. "Find someone that you can kiss 'accidentally' in front of him and say that you never liked him."

"Well Who would I find that would do that?" She asks. "No one wants to kiss me I assure you." Oh June, always so naive, I Can't believe Anden did this to her.

I walk over and pick June up and set her in my lap as I sit back down.

"Thanks." June says as she rest her head in my neck. I wrap my arms around her but then I pick her up and set her on the floor so she's standing up.

"We have to go eat." I say.

"That was an amazing meal Michael." My dad says to June's.

"Thank you Taylor. Your son here helped me make it." My dad smiles at me. We are currently sitting at a table On the beach. Mr. I mean Michael wanted us out here.

"June honey how did your confrontation with Anden go?"My mom asks. I'm sitting next to June and she's been holding my hand all of dinner. Only Ollie has noticed. I motion for my mom to shut it.

"Well other than the fact that Anden's in love with another girl that he's been cheating on me with for over ninety percent of our relationship it went Well."

"Oh sweetheart." Nadia says.

"May I be excused Dad?" She asks dropping my hand.

"Of course June." She walks away quickly.

"Day." Michael says. I look over at him.

"Will you go after her?" He asks. I nod and run off.

"June?" I ask as I walk into her bedroom. She's angrily typing away at her phone.

"What Day? Are you gonna say that this is all okay? Because it's not. Just because I was going to dump him doesn't mean I was ready to be cheated on Day!!" She is screaming by the end.

"I'm sorry. I'm just not in a good place. I'm sending him hate texts as we speak." She says and she presses send. My phone vibrates in my pocket.

I take it out. "You sent that to me June." I say.

"Well turns out I can't even text right. Is that What made him cheat on me? Is that what made being with me so hard to deal with that he had to go off and sleep with another girl for our ENTIRE relationship. Is it because I never slept with him? Because let me tell you if he expected me to sleep with him that early in our relationship then he was sorely mistaken." I love her. I honestly don't know what I would do without her in my life.

"Did he ever try to get you to, uh yeah." I ask.

"Yeah." I'll kill him. "It was about a month into our relationship and I told him no. That would actually be around the time he started cheating. So it was because I wouldn't sleep with him." I will actually kill him.

"Listen I don't know much about Anden besides that he's a jerk. You know how you were talking about finding a person to pretend to have been cheating on him with. I'll do that for you if you want." I suggest.

"Okay. Okay. Yeah. That just might work."

What did I just do?
