I can't believe her!

Why would she do this to me? I thought she was my friend, but I guess that's way over now. I know I trusted her after a fight but that was stooping too low.

I read the text over and over again,tapping my chin to think of a reply.

'Because I own you and we're soulmates'? I don't think so.

So, I texted back.

Me:I'm sorry.

Miles:Really? Sorry is all you have to say?

Me:Look,I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I really didn't.

Miles:Oh,really?

Me:Yes,really

Miles:Then why'd you do it?

I started sweating nervously. I was so nervous and my mom, Cornelia, screaming along with heavy metal downstairs wasn't helping my mood.

Me:I...

Miles:You what?

Me:I don't know.

Miles:Really?

Me:Yes.

Miles:I'm disappointed in you.I actually trusted you.

Me:I said I'm sorry.

Miles:And to think,I liked you. Wow. Big mistake.

Did he just say that?

Me:Wait, what?

Miles:Nothing,sorry I even bothered, Hailey. Have a good night.

Me:Miles, please

Miles:You know what?I take that back. Have a horrible night.

Me:If you'd just listen to me I could explain.

Miles:Bye.

Me:Miles,stop.

Great.Now I blew my chances with Miles all because of Laura.I thought I could trust her and I thought she was a true best friend.But,best friends don't do that to eachother.

I checked Instagram to get my mind off things when I stumbled upon a comment from Miles on one of my friends photos.I clicked on his profile and almost choked when I saw that his bio said 'Taken by the beautiful Jasmine' and his profile picture was of him and Jasmine kissing.My face contorted and that's when the tears really came.

I guess my mom heard my sobs because she had turned down her music and I heard her footsteps getting closer to my door.

She knocked.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes"I sniffed.

Her face fell when she saw my tears and she quickly walked over to my bed and sat at the edge.

"Oh,my little cupcake,everything will be okay." she said as she rubbed my back,comforting me.I smiled.Margaret says that to me too when I'm upset.

"I'm not going to get into your personal life, so I'm just going to go get you some salad...iceberg lettuce, because that's the only lettuce you like" she smiled and got up.

I laughed. My mom knew me too well.

"Okay, you little stalker." I spoke for the first time since she came in.

After she walked out of my room, she poked her head in about a second later.

"By the way, Hails, whoever made you cry is not worth your tears. No one is."

She left the room.

God, was I lucky to have a mother as great as her.
