*Chads POV*
Stacey takes a seat on the couch and I bring a glass of water to her and place it on the table infront of her. I take a seat next to her making sure not to get to close,for all I know she could be so mad as to throw water on me at any point. "Why Chad?" she asks,her gentle eyes made contact with mine,she was hurt. Her running mascara said it all. "I don't know"I say running my fingers through my hair and resting my elbows on my thighs.
"That's not good enough" Stacey stated.
"I was jealous. Ethan seemed to have it all together. A perfect family ,a perfect friend" I say pointing at Stacey.
"That's not true" Stacey defended.
"I guess I needed something to take my mind off of my own life,my own broken family" I admitted.
"And you thought picking on Ethan was the right decision? He's my best friend,he's harmless. You knew that,you knew to choose someone who wouldn't fight back" Stacey pointed out. She was right,I couldn't of picked on someone who fought back,I'd feel powerless.
"How is he?" I asked with concern in my voice. Truth is,with everything going on in my own house and my own personal life,taking my anger out on Ethan made things easier for me,I felt better beating and harassing someone.
"What do you think. Ask him yourself. You're lucky you're not in jail" Stacey says before standing up and attempting to storm out of my house. I stand up and follow her. "Wait" I say grabbing her wrist. "I'm serious" I say. "I know,just as serious as you were when you were running that knife down his wrist. Right?" Stacey snapped. I felt the guilt . I felt terrible at this moment,I realized Ethan was all Stacey had and I almost ruined that for her. "I-I'm sorry"I say. "You're sorry!? He's in the hospital because of you"Stacey says pointing at my chest reminding me. "He has bruises all over his body. Chad he's not your size,he's ten times smaller than you are"Stacey stated. "Wait here"I say running to my room.
I run into my room being cautious of Layla sleeping and search for the tape of Ethan. The one where Zedu made him role play. "Found it"I say under my voice and running back downstairs.
"This,is a video of Ethan. I was going to post it,embarrass him"I admitted. "But -'' I stop there and hand the tape over to Stacey. "What happened to you? You weren't always like this" Stacey says taking the tape from my hand. "Life happened,my mom happened,Layla happened,college happened...we happened" I say. I can see the sadness in Stacey's eyes. "Look,right now is probably not the time"I say placing a hand cup motion on her cheek. She takes in the comfort for a second but then snaps out of it. "No. I can't" Stacey says.
Stacey takes a step back and I see her hands shaking. "It's your dad isn't it?" I ask. "I-I it doesn't matter. You hurt Ethan"Stacey covers up. "Stace,you can tell me" I say taking one step closer towards her. "I'm sorry,I can't,I can't do this" Stacey says before walking out of my house. "Stace!"I call out but she ignores it and makes her way into her car.
Suddenly,I felt the guilt run through my body again. Ethan didn't deserve all the pain I've caused him. Why couldn't I just let him be? Why couldn't I have just dealt with my pain a different way?
