Caught

Chapter 20

Sleeping on my bead was strangely comforting. We were away for three months, and i guess I missed my house in the back of my mind. Waking up that morning frightened me for a second, than I realized where I was. I laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. It was sunny, and the light poured into the room.

(Mia's POV)

I have to tell her. After all, we are home and it's not like she could go back to Oceanesq.
But, I hate watching Ally in pain. I first saw it when they broke up. But she got over that. I have to accept, that if I tell her now, she will never forgive me. My mind was made up.

"Ally?" It was morning, and I didn't check to see if she awake. I laid on the ground, Ally in her bed.

"Yeah?" Her voice was sad, scratchy.

I stopped. We could never be friends again. But than again, it's the right thing to do.

"I have to tell you something."

It was quite.

(Ally's POV)

"Ally?" Mia quietly asked, her voice small from the floor.

"Yeah?"

"I have to tell you something."

I didn't say anything, just sat up and leaned against the wall. She stood up, and crossed her arms. It looked like she was scared.

"What?"

She gulped.

"Mia, just tell me."

"Okay, so you know when you started dating Chase? I knew. I heard you talk to Sophia that night, and I saw you at the beach."

Honestly? I didn't care. I shrugged. "I don't care."

"There's more."

I waited. She fidgeted, than looked down.

"I thought he- he was Luke. It was dark, ya know? And-"

"What are you saying?" I interrupted, my voice growing louder.

She stopped, and took a deal breath. Looking me straight in the eye, she continued. "That night when he came for dinner, I was surprised to see that.. It wasn't Luke. I- I let you believe that he was my boyfriend. That Chase was cheating on you with me." I stared at my best friend, like she was a stranger. My body was suddenly struck with numbness, and a million thoughts swarm in front of my eyes.

"How could you?!" I yelled. Getting up, I challenged her menacingly. "You let me accuse an innocent person, of cheating on me! Wait, I never actually told him why I broke up with him." I thought, and tears started to spring.

"You let me, your best friend, go through that in a two week period. What is wrong with you?"

She started to cry. "I'm sorry Ally! I didn't- I didn't intend-"

I interrupted again. "No. You do not get the right for sympathy! You ruin everything! Absolutely everything!"

"Chase was taking all your time away! I- I missed you."

I smirked, and held up a finger. "You don't get to say his name so nonchalantly. Why would you do that?"

"I missed you! He took all of your time away Al! It was our summer-

I smirked, cutting her off. "The fact that I invited you to my summer house, for the whole summer, and you do this? You must have some serious issues!"

Her eyes were glassy, as tears spilled out. "Ally-"

"Leave."

"What?"

"Get out! Now! I will never talk to you again. Go find a new best friend, because I sure as hell am not."

*~*

I never talked to Mia again. My mom was awestruck. She couldn't understand why I was screaming at her at nine o clock in the morning. I just told her I didn't want to be friends with her anymore. No explanation needed, because that basically summed it up.

Oh yeah, she called. Texted, too. I never answered.

School started today, and I was bombarded with her tears and hugs and apologies. I ignored her, and hung out with other friends.

Because it was senior year, it wasn't a problem for me to find new friends.

And I did.

A/N: hey guys. Sorry, this chapter is so short! I just really needed to get the argument over with. I wasn't very pleased with this chapter, so again bear with me.
