The Revenge Plan

Chapter 1

I sat on the steps of my boyfriend Parker's house playing our fight through my head for the millionth time. It didn't make any sense. One moment we were cuddling and watching TV then the next minuet we were arguing about the fact if we really loved one another.

We've had fights before but none were like this. None of them had ended with him telling me we're over. Until now.

Tears were silently rolling down my cheeks as I heard a car pull into the driveway. I quickly wiped underneath my eyes in hopes of removing the watery makeup and looked up. There Parker was slowly making his way to the stairs and looking at anything but me. I hugged my knees to my chest as he slowly sat next to me. "Where were you?" I asked as I stared directly in front of me.

"I was out. I needed sometime to think." He replied as he clasped his hands together. It was a move I knew all to well. He was nervous.

"Thinking? About what? Us?" I asked peeking a glance at him.

"Yea. I- Kylie, we've been together for 3 years. Ever since freshman year and not once have I questioned if we were a perfect couple. Not once. But this summer has suddenly made it clear that we aren't."

I felt my throat tighten. "I love you." I croaked out digging the palms of my hands into my eyes as sobs escaped my chapped lips.

"No you don't. You love the idea of us. You don't love me."

I took a deep breath before replying. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Where do I begin? I was so focused on trying to keep us together that I let us fall apart.

But instead I used a blanket apology. "Everything I've done to screw up the relationship." And with that I stood up and walked to my car ignoring the cracks that had now formed in my heart.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" I said as I drove around my block for the fifth time. I had no one to talk to. The one person I could've talked about it with just dumped me. As the sixth time around the block was coming up I suddenly knew where I had to go. I pulled into the house next to mine and with a shaky breath got out of the car and headed to the front door.

He answered after two swift knocks. "Kylie?"

"Hey Brody." 

"Why are you- Are you crying? What happened?" He asked as he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the house before enveloping me in a tight hug.

"It's done." I replied burying my head in the crook of his neck as I started crying once again.

"Shhh. What's done?"

"Parker and I. You were right. I was wrong. He... He didn't love me. He never has." My voice cracked at the remembrance. Brody, my twin brother Jack, and I were all good friends. Until I started dating Parker who Brody swore up and down was not right for me. And because I refused to believe it Brody and I drifted apart.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't want to be right."

"I didn't want you to be right either."
