The Boy Next Door

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

"What?!" I say with attitude

"Carter can we just please talk," he asks

I think it's safe to say that I didn't care at all at this point anything he said I didn't care it couldn't make a difference in what I thought about him. I was down with him.

"There's Nothing to talk about Caden," I say

"Look I'm so-'' I cut him off

"Stop apologizing Caden it won't fix anything. I already know what I think about. What you say won't change a thing." I say

"Carter...I don't understand."

"What is there to understand Its simple. I'm done being your friend." I say and lean against my door frame.

"Carter look I know I kept it a secret and I'm sorry. I know I messed up. I know I failed you. I know that just lost my best friend. I know that you're mad at me. I know that your disappointment in me. I know that you and I will never be friends again. And I can't help but worry because I went to you for everything. You were there for me at the darkest times and at the happiest times and I was there for you.
Carter I can't just let our friendship fall apart like this. You can't just let go of me that fast. I know I can't. So please Carter I'm not asking for forgiveness because I know I screwed up big time. But please rethink the decision of being my friend...I can't lose you too."

"Caden you messed me up bad and I like you said you don't forgiveness even if asked I probably wouldn't forgive you. But I don't think I can be your friend. I can't look at someone that lied to me for years knowing that my dad was a cheater this whole time. I can't look at someone who consistently stabbed me in the back. Every time I asked you can I trust you..you said yes..why'd you lie?!"
"Oh because I didn't wanna lose you," I said mocking him
"Oh but you already lost Me," I say mocking myself
"I don't Caden were done...Goodbye" I say and walk back inside as soon as I'm about to close my door he sticks his hand out.

"Caden Move your hand!" I say

"Carter please"

"Dude hear yourself. Stop."

He looked at me like I broke his heart which I probably did. But I didn't care because he broke him.

"Carter please I can't lose you," he says with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Caden...But You've done enough for today" I say and close the door.

I headed up to my room and had forgotten that I had made myself some sandwich but I was to darn lazy and wasn't that hungry anymore...Caden ruined my appetite.

(Next day)
I woke up drained of energy. I still couldn't believe that Caden lied to me for so many years. I was heartbroken but at the same time, I felt closure because I finally found out that's he's been lying to me. I literally just wanted to stay in bed all day. I didn't feel like getting up and getting dressed.
