Secrets

DYLAN:

As days turned into weeks me and Sydney became a lot closer, unfortunately we only became closer as friends and nothing romantic developed between the two of us, but she was my best friend and as long as she was apart of my life somehow it didn't matter if she was my girlfriend or best friend.

Months passed and I saw her almost everyday, I would go over to hers and we would sit at the computers pretending we were little kids playing computer games.

However when the 17th November came she began to change, she always had plans with someone else and didn't spend much time at all with me anymore. I was gutted and stupidly jealous of the new person she was hanging around with. I didn't want to make things worse by annoying her with my questions so when she was out I went over to her house to speak to her sister who I assumed would know what happened to her.

"Hey Lisa"

"Oh hi Dylan, Syd isn't here at the moment"

"No I wanted to actually talk to you , if that's okay"

"Erm yeah sure , let me just finish the dishes and ill be right over, do you want a drink?"

" No thank you ,I'm good"

-5 minutes later-

"Okay so what is you want to talk to me about"

" Okay this is going to sound really strange but who is this new person Sydney is always with, she never wants to meet up and I'm gutted because she's my best friend and I know I'm sounding really possessive at the moment but I just want my friend back"

"You don't know do you"

"Don't know what"

"The boy she is always with us her boyfriend, their not exclusive but I've seen him a couple of times , his name is Billy and no I do not approve of their relationship, he is a jerk"

"WHAT ,why did she never tell me "

" Dylan I assumed she had, sorry"

"Don't worry, could you maybe ask her to give me a call when she's back, I just really want to talk to her"

"Yeah ,of course "

I then left the house and made my way to my car where I sat and threw my hands against the steering wheel. I was annoyed that she had found someone and I was just a forgotten voice. I drove home In silence, trying to figure out what I had just been told. I was in love with Sydney but I left it too late to tell her.

When I got home, I threw my jacket onto the couch and went over to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water.

I then heard my phone buzz, I ran over to my jacket and grabbed my phone out of the pocket, it was a message from Sydney

' Hey Dylan, my sister told me to call you but I don't have a lot if credit so can we talk on Facebook'

S - Hey so what did you want to talk to me about'

D- nothing much I just missed spending time with my friend

S- I'm so sorry, I've just been kind if busy lately

D- with Billy , I'm guessing

S- how do you know about him

D- look Sydney I'm happy for you but I want to see you more, we hardly see each other

S- come over then, I'm on my own

D- okay ill be there ASAP

I grabbed my jacket, went out the door and drove over to Sydney's. I knocked on the door and was greeted with that beautiful smile I loved.

"Hi, how are you"

" I'm good Dylan , how about you and can you come in the cold air is hitting me"

"Oh right sorry" , I then entered her house and hugged her.

'I've missed this' I thought to myself.

It was always strange when it was just us two in the house because I was so used to the noise of her siblings but now we were alone.I then decided to ask her," so how long have you and Billy been together "

"Only a few weeks , its nothing serious, just a bit of messing around"

"Messing around? how exactly"

"I'm kidding, there is no messing around, we just do the normal stuff in a young relationship like hug and kiss and go out"

" So you haven't, you know,i mean your still pure"

"Not that it's any of your business but yes I am, don't worry"

" Haha I'm not worrying, I'm just wondering"

The conversation stopped when she got a call from Billy, great.

She picked up the phone and went to the kitchen, I stood up and went over to try and listen In on the conversation and picked up little things from her,

" Billy , I don't want to ............"

" My parents will be angry..........."

"I'm with my friend and no we are not.........."

I suddenly heard her slam her phone onto what I presumed was the table and came out of the kitchen and asked " what are you doing, hey were to listening to my private conversation"

"No I wasn't I was just looking at the paint work on here, nice" I said while gliding my hand across the red wall.

"Man I thought i was a bad liar but you my friend are the king of crap lying" she said with a laugh.

I gently nudged and said " okay, I am just nosey and its not like you have never listened in on a conversation, take the call your mom got from school, you ended up breaking your arm when you fell downstairs. also take the conversation with Christina and Lisa , you nearly broke your nose when they smashed the door against you , haha yeah that was the funniest"

" Okay whatever" she said with a moody expression on her face.

She suddenly shoved me and I fell backwards onto the couch, I didn't realise I had pulled her down with me and she was now laying on top of me.

We stared into each others eyes and we both smiled , however we were disrupted when we heard the front door open. she quickly got up and said "hey " whilst waving awkwardly to her siblings who had just entered the room.

" What have you two done" her brother Alex asked thinking like a detective.

" Alex , what do you mean , we haven't done anything"

"Okay " he said in a high pitched voice whilst walking Into the kitchen.

"Sydney, your phone is ringing" Alex called from the kitchen. Sydney then made her way to the kitchen. I saw lisa come in the front door and she said " oh hi Dylan, have you talked to her about you know?"

"Yeah I have but she said its nothing I should be worrying about"

"Ohhhhh, see you later "

I looked at the time and realised it was already 7pm and called out " Sydney I should probably get going"

" Okay ill see you tomorrow maybe" she shouted back from the kitchen

"Yeah okay "

As I let myself out I was greeted by a face of a boy " hi I'm going in there so you don't need to close it , cheers"

I then heard him shout " Syd , I'm here"

It was Billy, from the look of him Sydney could be doing far better than him, firstly he looked as if he had just go out of bed, secondly he looked like someone who was on drugs 24/7, what was she thinking. I sat in my car just waiting for nothing, until I saw Sydney coming out the door with Billy, his arm wrapped tight over her shoulders and kissing her neck. I'd had enough and I started the engine of my car and drove off. I drove past her waiting for her to look at me but he didn't , she was too busy staring at that idiot.

A jealous emotion took over my mind and i drove home angry because I wanted that ,what she had with him.
