"What's so important that you wanna see us?" Gerald asked my mum.
My mum, Gerald and I were in the living room. She said she has something important to say.
"Damien is having a formal party to celebrate his graduation from college" she announced.
"Okay?"
"You need dates"
"Can I bring Drew?" I asked.
"No"
"Then I'm not going"
"Can't you bring anyone else?"
"Nope "
"Fine but keep him out of my sight. It's this Friday. I'll order your clothes tomorrow so you can choose"
I smiled. I love it when I get my way.
I was about to say something but I got interrupted by my phone ringing.
I ran to my room to pick my phone call. It was Stephanie.
That's weird. She never calls anyone except she wants something. She prefers texting.
"Bella! You have to see this"
I chuckled.
"Hello to you too"
"I'm serious. I just saw Drew and Leslie at the mall holding hands" her breath was heavy like she was running.
"What? I don't believe you"
"I'll send you proof. Give me five seconds"
She hung up. In a few seconds, she sent me a photo of them.
I felt my heart sink.
This can't be a mere coincidence, can it? Even if it is, why were they holding hands?
This must be the reason Drew said he couldn't hang out after school. He was busy with Leslie.
I don't want to believe this.

"What?" Sharon shrieked.
She's the only person I can talk to that won't judge me plus her son is involved and she's mature enough to handle it. We were talking in the living room while Abby watched TV.
I put my face in my hands.
"I don't know what to do"
I was close to tears. How could they do this to me?
I remembered what Steve told me about my parents yesterday. I can already see the signs.
Sharon rubbed my back, trying to soothe me.
"Don't cry, darling. I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding"
"They're fucking holding hands"
"I don't even know what to say. All I know is he likes you too much to cheat on you"..
"Explain the photo then"
"I'll talk to him when he gets back"
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. There's nothing I can do k
now. Since Sharon said she's going to talk to him, I might as well wait.
"I think I should go now" I said.
"Are you sure you'll be fine on your own? You could stay with me for a while"
"Yeah. I'll go to the park to clear my head''
"Alright darling"
"Thank you very much"
