***Dani's POV***
I sat with my back against the tub. I wanted to die. Everything was falling apart on this trip.I heard a knock at the door. I assumed it was Jace.
"Go away!" I say.
"Dani, its me" I hear Morgan say. My heart dropped. I had completed forgot about me going off on her because I was so upset over Jace. "Let me in, Dani". Her voice was soft. I unlocked the door and went back to my place on the floor. She walked in and sat beside me.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you like that" I say. She shook her head.
"No, don't apologize" She says. "I probably shouldn't have said it like that anyway".
"If you didnt say it, they would have gotten away with it" I say. She looks at the groud.
"Oh, no they wouldn't" She says. I sigh.
"I just don't understand how someone could do that. You know, Jace and I have been together four years, and known each other longer. Why would he do that?" I ask.
"Dani, sometimes people do stupid things in the heat of the moment. They don't realize how it's going to effect somone else because in the moment they only care about themselves. I think this is one of those times" She says.
"Does he not love me anymore?" I ask her.
"Of course he loves you! He always has. Like I said, people the stupid things" She says.
"Well, I don't want to talk to him anytime soon, and I don't want to talk to Jade either" I say. "I can't believe she would ever do something like either. She knows what he means to me. She was the person that I confided in about him when he was still with that horrible ex of his. Why would she do that?".
"I'm equally as disappointed in her, but she was drunk and just lost Wren. She needed something to take her mind off of that. I think you atleast need to try talking this out with both of them" She says.
"Well, can that wait until tomorrow? I'm beat" I say. She smiles and stands up. She extends her hand to pull me up.
"Let's check on Georgia then go to sleep" She says. I agreed. We peeked in and saw Georgianna sleeping peacefully. We closed the door them went to our separate bedrooms. I locked the door so Jace wouldn't be able to come in. I wanted to be alone. I did want to talk to him, but not right now.
***Jace's POV***
I sat out on the beach all night long thinking about what had happened. I watched the sunrise on the lake. Dani loved sunrise and sunset photos. I remeber back before she and I got together, I would always snapchat her pictures of the sunrise in the morning and sunset or night. Honestly, it was kind of just my way of getting to talk to her. I was with my ex girlfriend then, but wanted Dani so bad I didn't know what to do with myself. I had been in love with her for years. We had known each other since we were kids, but I'll never forget that day in Senior English when our teacher paired us up. I had been wrapped around her finger since that day. I knew she was upset with me, but I was willing to go to the ends of the earth for her.
***Dani's POV***
I woke up and looked outside towards the lake. Jace was gone. I remebered seeing him sitting on the beach before I went to bed last night. I wanted to see him and talk but I was so hurt by what he did, I didn't know if I would be able to handle it.
Morgan walked out of Georgia's room .
"Hey, you doing better?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'm okay" I answer. "How's she?".
"She's fine. She said she wanted to rest some more. She's hurting a lot" She answered.
"I'd say she just needs some space maybe" I say pouring a cup of coffee and sitting at the bar.
"Yeah, probably" She says. "I'm going to try and help Jace with...".
"Yeah, take care of it" I say. I knew she meant the body. In the next moment, Jade walked down the steps and into the kitchen. Morgan gave me a look. I knew she was telling me I needed to talk to Jade. "I-I have some thing to take care of" She says before disappearing outside. Jade walks over to me.
"Dani, can we please talk?" Jade asks sitting across from me.
"There isnt anything that we need to talk about. You slept with my boyfriend" I say.
"I know. And, I know that I was stupid for doing that. I'm not even going to try to give you an excuse. I just don't want you to hate me!" She says.
"Well, I'm sorry to tell you that I do" I say. She was never one to cry over many things, but when I said that, her eyes began to water.
"Dani-".
"No! You don't get to try to make me feel bad for feeling like that! You were my bestfriend. My rock. I never would have gotten through the past couple years without you. You know what I have been through! Did those countless conversations in my car mean nothing to you!? Were you lying all those times you said you needed me and didn't want me to ever leave home? I mean you couldn't have meant any of that if you're going to stab me in the back like this. People always say bestfriend break ups are worse than boyfriend breakups and it's true, but I never thought you'd be one to break my heart like you know who" I say. I knew she would get what I was meaning by that without even having to explain it.
"Dani, I'm so sorry" She says.
"Yeah, me too...for thinking you were ever my true friend" I say and storm past her. I broke down as soon as I couldn't see her anymore. I was heartbroken. I had never had a bestfriend like Jade, and then this happens. I mean, I was always going to love her, but I really hated her right now. Right now, I was wishing it was me that was dead.
