Beau’s POV

I looked over to the beach and I had to blinbk a few times. Was this Marlene with some other guy? My throat tightened and I made fists out of my hand. Of course, she was pretty but she got over me so quickly?

I didn’t even know what had happened. What did I do? She asked me what I felt towards her… I almost told her. How stupid I was! Just because some girls came over she went away. I still tried to gigure out what happened. What did I do?

I sighed and looked back over to Marlene. I had to gulp as they hugged. Why did she hug him but not me? What the hell did I do? She went away and the guy sighed. He seemed stressed. I narrowed my eyes so I could see better. It was pretty dark already.

He fished out his phone and talked to someone. He walked up to where I was and I could see he was uncomfortable. “Hey“, I said. I remembered when he hugged Marlene and again I tensed up. Maybe she didn’t feel that way about me but I felt so jealous…

“Hey“, he said and looked at me. He forced a smile.

“Leave Marlene alone“, I said.

He bit his lip. “Why should I?“

“She doesn’t belong to you.“

“But to you?“, he snapped. He looked at the sea, then back at me. “She is just a bet, okay? I just wanna show I can have her. Then you can haver her.“

I raised my eyebrow in shock at him. “What the hell?! Marlene deserves better than you! I told you, leave her alone?“

“Or?“, he asked pissed, folding his arms across his chest.

I bit my lower lip angrily. He was only playing with her?! How dared he?! “You will see“, I hissed.

He threw his head back and started laughing. “Yeah, of course. I need to go now.“ He passed by me, pushing me with his shoulder. I made fists out of my hands and turned around. I tapped his shoulder and he looked at me annoyed.

My fist raced forward. I heard a little crack as I hit his nose. He stambled backwards and touched his nose. When he looked at it his eyes widened as he saw the red liquid sticking on his fingers. “What the hell?!“, he shouted and looked at me.

“I told you!“, I shouted.

“Beau?“

I turned around and looked directly in Marlene’s brown eyes. She looked at me in shock and then she looked at the guy. “Austin! What happened?!“

“Nothing“, Austin said and shook his head. He tried to wipe away the blood with his sleeve and winced.

“Did you do this?“, Marlene snapped at me.

“I can explain!“, I shouted and wanted to tell her what he was up to do with her but she held out her hand, signalizing me to stop. “Why are you doing this? Just leave me alone, Beau! Just because I’m with another boy now… You can’t get always what you want!“ She pulled her arm around Austin’s shoulder. She went away, dragging him with her.

“He is using you!“, I shouted.

Marlene dropped her arm around Austin’s shoulder and looked at me. I thought she would believe me but she came up to me and glared at me. “You’re not the one to tell this, Brooks. Just leave us alone.“ She walked back to Austin who wrapped an arm around her waist. He looked back at me with an evil smile.

Arse.

I watched them for a while, then I decided to go home, too. I stopped at a petrol station and bought myself a bag of crisps and some fizzy drinks.

With that stuff I went home and dropped myself on my bed. Jai was probably with Tessa, Luke was for 100% with Jess and James and Skip were probably out together. They didn’t know I had left when we were at the girls‘ house. As soon as I saw Marlene wasn‘t there anyways I left.

I sighed. What did I do?

And why didn’t she believe me?

And what did she mean by “you’re not the one to tell this“? I didn’t use her, I didn’t play with her. Why were girls so confusing and exhausting yet breath taking? Why did I want to stay away from her yet be close to her?

 I was mad!

I groaned and rolled over to grab my crisps. I ripped the bag and a few of them flew to the ground. Today wasn’t my day. Maybe the fans could cheer me up. I got up and went over to my laptop. I switched it on and and logged onto twitter. “Who’s up for a twitcam?“, I tweeted. It was really rare that I did a twitcam.

“Hey guys“, I said and forced a smile for the camera. Whoops, that sounded like I was some filmstar or something in an interview! “How’s everyone?“

I got a few replies and gave a few shoutouts. I saw I had five thousand viewers and smiled. “Guys, you’re the best! Five thousand viewers! That cheers me up!“

Instantly the ‘fans‘ asked, why I needed to be cheered up and what was bothering me. Mentally I face-palmed myself. Why did I do a twitcam after all? “Nothing’s wrong“, I lied to all the people watching. I felt like a murderer. How could I lie to all these people? They loved me and I… But I couldn’t tell them. They’d probably hate on Marlene and then she wouldn’t speak to me anymore ever. She would hate me even more although I still had no idea what exactly I had done. “But you know this feeling when you don’t know what’s wrong but feel like you could just go to bed and never come back out?“

A few yesses popped up and soon they started asking normal or random questions. I actually enjoyed it and thought I should do it more often. “What’s the time in Melbourne?“, I read and looked at the clock shocked. “Whoa, it’s already half past four in the morning! Sorry guys, but I really need to go to bed.“ I kissed the camera and grinned. I probably just made the day of a few hundred girls. “I love y’all! Good night!“ I disconnected and threw myself onto my bed.

What should I do now? I couldn’t sleep. My mind was at Marlene all the time. Ugh, my life sucked.
