My body is filled with nerves. I can feel my heart rate quicken and my hands start to shake when I walk up to the front door. I'm not sure having Reece and George is making the situation better or worse for me. Either way, I'm scared to see what truth is going to be told, but I need to know.

Reece opens the door, it already being unlocked. My heart pounds against my chest with each step towards Blake's room. George, knowing Blake doesn't have a clue that we're here, yells, "We're here, mate!" A muffled "okay" comes from upstairs.

The door to his room creaks open. There lies a disorganized and stressed out Blake. I immediately feel sympathy for the poor boy.

"You can take a seat," Blake says to us, messing with the rings on his fingers.

I find a spot on his bed while George and Reece sit on a beanbag. I look at Blake, waiting for him to begin.

George catches my gaze and coughs, "So, let's begin." Blake is snapped out of his trance. Reece tries to hold in a laugh.

Blake looks up from his lap and lifts his eyes onto me. He takes a deep breath before stating, "What I'm going to tell you is going to sound really bad. In all honesty, I'm surprised Brad hasn't told you anything." He glances over to Reece and George.

"As you know, Brad is only a year older than me. We could both easily like the same girl due to our ages. Now, everyone knew he was dating Lauren. Even I knew that. One day, I found her crying outside of school. Me being the sympathetic and worrisome boy I am, asked what was wrong. She told me about all the stress going and then she was saying things about Brad."

Blake stops himself before going into deeper explanation. I give him a rub on the back, letting him know that I'm here for him.

He takes another deep breath and continues, "I didn't want to push the topic, having a feeling it was sensitive. But she continued talking about him. All of a sudden, she said he cheated on her. I immediately comforted her, myself already experiencing something similar. She cries and cries until she forces herself on me. She keeps trying to kiss me. I finally push her off and then leave. The next day though, she's telling everyone I kissed her. That's when Brad began hating me and he has ever since."

He now stares at me. My face is in complete shock. I never knew this happened. Why didn't I know this happened? I'm going to have a long talk with Brad.
