Opposites Attract

CHAPTER 27

Cody's POV:

I watched as Jessica stormed off in anger. I was angry myself too. How could she not listen to whatever I said? How come she thinks that he is more important than me? I punched the wall next to me in anger. To hell with her and her problems! I can't do anything if she doesn't want to listen to me.

Jessica's POV:

I was beyond pissed at Cody for whatever he said earlier. How could he say those things about Daniel to me? I just can't believe it. I thought Cody was way better than that. But I was proven wrong. Just as I was trying to get along with him and see the good in him, he shows me his true colours. Looks like Cody will always be Cody. You can never trust anyone that easily now can you? I told everything to Daniel. He seemed pretty surprised and felt sorry for me. He offered to have a word with Cody and apologize about the whole situation but I prevented him from doing so. It's not like Cody is gonna listen to his apology now isn't he? Of course, his ego is too big for him that's why he will never listen to anyone. God! I'm so mad at him right now. I wish I could just choke him to death. He knows nothing about my best friend and he has no right to say a word about him. Daniel was a nice guy. I can't believe anyone would say anything bad about him. Whoever talks bad about Daniel will end up being my worst enemy. And it looks like that turned out to be Cody. But who cares. My best friend is way more important to me than a guy I just got to know a few months ago.

Cody's POV:

That evening, I was sitting on my bed reminiscing everything that happened today. All I could think about was our fight. It was a very ugly one. I regret shouting all those words to Jessica. I regret raising my voice to her. I regret being so hot-tempered. And my attitude today caused an amazing girl to like Jessica to walk away. I feel so bad that I've hurt her. I know very well that I've hurt her. If I could just turn back time, I wanna redo everything again from the start. I thought about all the good times that Jessica and I shared in the past couple of months that we got to know each other. At the beginning, I thought that it was merely impossible to make a girl like Jessica to be my friend. But now, when I already have her as a friend, I blew it all up and hurt her feelings. I feel so stupid right now. And it is all because of that stupid Daniel and Brittany. I wonder how they are feeling right now. Surely they must be celebrating because their mission of separating Jessica and I was a huge success. I can't believe I just lost to them because of my temper. If only I had learned to control my anger, that this whole fight could have been avoided in the first place. I wonder how things would have turned out if I had taken a different approach in this matter. Maybe Jessica and I would have still been friends if I had taken another approach. I really hope that I can rekindle our friendship back to the way it was before. And then it hit me: I shouldn't be sitting here blaming myself for everything that happened. In that way, I am making my enemies win and I don't want that to happen of all things. I should fight. Fight for our friendship, fight for my love for Jessica, fight to prevent anything bad from happening to her. And that is want I'm going to be doing from this very instant. From now on, I will not let anyone or anything hold me back.
