From Broken Hearted To A New Beginning

Chapter 26

Angela

It was 8:03am when Selena finally texted me back. I was beginning to get more concerned about her. Ever since yesterday she's been acting very weird and distant. Selena has never kept anything from me for more than 3 hours and now all of a sudden she can go a whole day with keeping secrets? Her whole "I'm ok." attitude is fake and I know it...I just need to find out what's so bad that she can't tell me-her best friend.

"Trey!", I yelled down the hallway after first period. "Hey, wassup?" he answered back. "Hey, wassup? Is that how you answer yo girlfriend now? I already have to figure out what's going on with Selena; don't make me have to figure out what's wrong with you." Trey looked at me with one eyebrow raised as if I was crazy and that really aggravated me. "Can you not do that?" I asked in the nicest tone possible. "Do what? You're the one that started going off on me for no reason." "I was no-" "Yes you were. And I'm not about to argue with you over that. Not here anyway." Trey said after cutting me off. I rolled my eyes then said, "Look, all I wanted to tell you was that Lena texted me back saying that she was "ok" that's all. I'll talk to you after school..." then walked away before he could respond back to me. It was bad enough that my best friend was keeping secrets from me but to have my boyfriend treat me like one of his 'niggas' was just over the edge.

*FAST FOWARD TO THE END OF SCHOOL*

As I was walking toward Trey's car, I heard a voice say behind me say, "Hey Ang!". I turned around to see James frantically running in my direction. "Hey what's wrong??" I asked concernedly. "It's-It's Lena...she's in the hospital!" he replied back in between breaths. "What!? How?? Which one??" I felt like my heart was about to jump right out of my chest. I started thinking of the worst case scenarios that could've happened. "Ang. Ang! Calm down please. You didn't drive to school did you?" James said snapping me back into reality. "No why?" I said trying to catch my breath. "Good. You're coming with me."

James and I rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. On our way there I texted Trey telling him where I was going so that he wouldn't be waiting for me. "Yeah. I know I'm the one that told James about Lena. I'm at the hospital already." Trey texted me back a few minutes later. What the fuck? How did Trey know about Selena before James and I did?? Trey and Selena don't even get along-as far as I know. "Aye James." I said as we pulled into St. Elizabeth Hospital's parking lot. "Yeah?" "Do you think Selena and Trey have something going on? Like behind my back?" James took a while before he answering me but then eventually said, "No. Why?" I could tell by the tone in his voice and by his hesitation that he was lying. "James, tell me the truth...NOW! Do Selena and Trey have something going on behind my back?!" I said yelling at him. "Ang I don't know. Honestly. But to tell you the truth they just might." My heart that was just about to jump out of my chest had now sunken down all the way to my knees. I tried to get myself to believe that maybe they're just good friends now but the thought that something else more serious is going on between them kept running through my mind.

"Do you know what room Selena Carmon is in?" James asked the woman at the front desk. "Yes sir she is in.....room 209;second floor." the woman replied while smiling at us. When James and I reached the second floor we were immediately greeted by Trey. "Can we talk?" I asked as soon as our eyes made contact with each other. "Can we talk about it later-whatever it is." Trey said looking away from me. "I knew it..." I whispered to myself-or at least I thought I did. "Knew what Angela?" I could tell that Trey was getting aggravated but I really didn't care. "About you and yo new girlfriend." I told Trey in the snobbish tone possible. "Girlfriend??? The fu-. You know what...we're done." And in that one moment, Trey walked away from me eyes filled with tears. What the hell did I just do.......
