The Devil's Trap

Chapter 1: Friends

I know that this book is coming out of nowhere, but I have been keeping these feelings inside me for too long. These events still haunt me to this day and I think that sometimes a person needs to write all their feelings out to help relieve some stress. But anyway, I hope that anyone who reads this will understand how I feel. I hope you all stick around to the end. \(^ u ^)/   

What did he do to you?

He used me. He abused me for who I was as a person and tried to destroy me. I was a pon in his horrible mind. I was nothing more than a piece in his twisted puzzle.

We were first friends. He was a good friend of mine. I thought he understood the words that came out of my mouth and the feelings that I allowed to show him. He acted as if he understood. He acted as if he truly cared about me. I remember how he would talk or text me to confide in me. On how he seemed to appreciate everything I tried to do not only for him, but for the rest of our friends. I really thought that our friendship meant something.

I didn't know that I was horribly and unfortunately wrong about him.

It all started when he told my best friend, Kassandra, and I that he had feelings for someone in our friend group. If I were to be frank, I was confident that he had feelings for Kassandra. Those two seemed to talk often and it was almost obvious that those two had somewhat of a connection. Him and I texted later that day and discussed his feelings for this mysterious girl. He wouldn't tell me his crush's name, but he would text and call me for hours talking about her. That she was the world to him.

I thought it was Kassandra, but a part of me thought of our other friend, Amaya.

Amaya told me before that she had feelings for him. That he was someone who was dear to her and that her feelings for him were growing bigger every day. I found her vulnerable side to be adorable in a way. Her feelings for him were genuine and I wanted to support her. However, I saw Kassandra's feelings for him start to rise within her.

Kassandra never came to a conclusion about her feelings though. She felt as though she liked him, but didn't want to date him. She told me that she wasn't ready to date and for that reason, she would not accept his feelings if he confessed to her.

I was torn with all of the feelings everyone was willing to share with me. For I had my own feelings to worry about.

There was this boy in my P.E. class that I started to develop feelings for. Being in the grade below me and already having a girlfriend, I knew that Jeremiah wouldn't see me as more than a friend. And if I were to be even more honest about my feelings during the whole event, I was still hurt about my last relationship with Alexander and how we ended things. Handling not only my feelings but my friends' problems made everything too much for me.

I was a mess.

Most of the chapters are going to be pretty short, so just keep in mind that this book will not be that long. I am mostly here to talk about a true event. Still, I hope you all continue to read till the end.
