Betrayed

Hey..

--------

After that unexpected conversation with that girl, I've been pretty quiet the rest of the day. It felt like as if I was a new person now. Usually I'm loud and goofy, smiling and not caring about what anyone says. But today.....I guess I'm not........All of these things happening day after day is causing me a lot of stress and if I don't learn how to control my thoughts, I'm definitely gonna go crazy..

"Hey everyone.." I sighed while sitting down next to Mia.

It wasn't planned, it was just the spur of the moment and I didn't feel like going around the table just to sit down when there was an available seat right here.

Everyone mumbled something except Liam who was busying looking down at his phone, typing repeatedly on the keyboard.

My nosy ass would really like to know who he's texting.

I looked to the side at Mia and was about to say something to her when someone called her name.

Pressing my lips back together, I unscrewed the cap of my water bottle, getting a refreshing sip from it before screwing the cap back on.
"Oh, hey Hailey.." She smiled as she stood up to greet her with a hug.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed to myself, pulling my phone out of my back pocket.

Soon after a couple a seconds, Hailey sat down and greeted all us....they began talking, then it immediately turned to laughing which was kind of starting to irritate me....No I wasn't jealous or anything it's just that fact that with everything going on, and not having a best friend's shoulder to cry on, it's really bothering me.

Taking my mind off them, I started to look over at Liam, who still had his head hanging low. Liam's never quiet. He's usually too busy running his mouth to Connor or Nick about a game he had seen or something about basketball.

I couldn't help but think of ideas to why he's acting the way he is towards me. I know I hadn't done anything wrong.

After a couple minutes of thinking, I've come up with only two possible reasons and neither one of them were good, especially the second reason.....1- He's either afraid of something or someone or 2- He's cheating on me and is trying to cover it up before it's too late..

I instantly shook my head as the thought of that made my stomach feel uneasy. Liam would never cheat on me. He would never do such a thing. I know he wouldn't....

Throwing those thoughts into the back of my head for the fourth time today, I glanced up to see Mia bending down on the bench seat infront of me, to grab something out of her back pack.

Me being me, I decided to make eye contact with her while I had the chance and she did so as well.....She didn't say anything and neither did I so I slowly turned away and looked down at my half eaten lunch food. Playing with the fork that was stuck inside the smashed potatoes. Lately, I haven't been in the quite mood to eat as much as I would love to.... I'm just so depressed and emotional with everything...and to top all that, I'm really confused and don't even know how to balance that out. Some of this stuff don't even make sense to me..

"So, I'm kind of hosting a little party back at my house for like you know, a welcome back home party and it would be awesome if you came. Some of our old friends back from middle school will be there and they're excited to see the both of us and it's-just gonna be a blast.." I heard Hailey squealed to her, possibly jumping up and down, impatiently waiting for her response.

I turned my head a little to see Mia's face as she looked at Hailey.

"Yes, I'll be there. Just tell me when and what time." She responded without hesitation, looking at the corner of her right eye at me.
