Too Young to Know

Not even two years old and I knew we were going to be best friends forever. Our parents would always complain that we spent too much time together and not enough time with any of our other friends. Little did they know that even at three years old, we had no other friends. All we had were each other. The other kids, for being three years old, were really mean. Not as mean as middle school and high school kids, I'll give you that. But for being 3, they were definitely up there. 

As soon as we hit fifth grade and every girl was talking about their new, cute boyfriend and all the guys were talking about their new, cute girlfriend, it was inevitable. At school, on the bus, at the mall, on the street, just everywhere, there was some little comment that maybe all three of us were dating, including the twins dating each other which, I may add, got a kick out of every middle schooler in the whole world. We chose to ignore them and stick together. But I was too young to know that young, attractive, fit boys like them wouldn't stick around forever. Eventually I would lose them and have to endure the rest of the world all alone. And I did.

But way before this, something went down. Let me rephrase: everything went down. 

***Flashback***

"Come on, Becks. We are 12 years old. We have lives outside of this friendship. We have girlfriends for Pete's sake. Who have been extremely patient and good about our relationship with you. We've even turned down many, many dates so we could hang out with you when you were having rough nights. We have to live while we still can."

"What do you mean 'while we still can'? You have the rest of your lives ahead of you. You know that you guys are all I have. And now you're turning on me too?"

"Come on, Becks. It's not like that and you know it. You just have to let us be 12 year old guys. We need our space. We can't hang out constantly like we used to when we were kids."

"Fine. But just know that I was the one that was there for you through everything that happened with Nick and Aubrey and Matt. I never left your side for a second, even when I had every right and opportunity to. You guys were jerks to me and I still stood by you. Because I loved you, and I still do." 

***End Flashback***

That was the biggest fight that we've ever had. We all said things that we wish we could take back. Well, Ethan and I did. Grayson just stayed quiet and let Ethan do all the talking. Which is very unusual for him so it must have been really hard for him to do what he did.

That wasn't the day that they ditched me, though. It was just the beginning. We tried to work things out between then and freshman year, but things only got worse from then on. The boys ended up breaking up with their girlfriends because they started to show how jealous they really were and it was around the time when we were fine, but a little strained. They still cared, That's why I like to think they did it. But then they got new girlfriends that were even worse. The girls known as the Bitch Queens. Or I call them that. To everyone else they are either Ms. Populars or Aubrey and Eden. It all depends on your 'social status' and what they thought of you. If they thought you were in the range from complete and utter loser to somewhat decent, you call them either Ms. Populars or nothing at all because they are disgusted if you even breathe in their general direction. But if you were in the range from mediocre to best friends you could call them by their names or their pet names that they create for each other.

From then on, we tried really hard to fix our friendship, but I think we all knew that it was unfixable. They wanted more. Not from me, but from life. The only thing they wanted from me was more freedom. To let them go out at night even when I'm having breakdowns. Before the big fight they said that they were fine with staying in with me at night if it was to make me feel better. There were still many times when I was fine and we hung out and just watched movies and talked and laughed. 

They were always stronger than me. We all should have seen that day coming. The day that they left me for THEM. I couldn't get out of bed for 2 weeks, so I missed most of the first and second week of freshman year, not that I cared, though. 

When I say they were always stronger than me, I mean like I was really weak. Anytime someone picked on me or us, I always had a breakdown. Not in front of the bullies, of course. But at night. I always felt like I was never going to fit in and it was my fault. That there was nothing I could do to change it. I always felt insecure and that no one could love me, because who would love a mediocrely rich girl that had a rumor spread that I dated two boys at once because I thought I was better than everyone else and so no one else could have them. That I cheated on one twin with the other and they knew about it and thought it was all good and fine. Wrong.

THEY somehow got to Ethan and Grayson. After the night of the fight, I let them go out when they asked. Not that I was strict and wouldn't let them go out before, they just never asked and I didn't mind. But then they kept bugging me about it and I felt it was the only way to fix the unfixable. 

Then one day, THEY showed up in that car that all the rich kids drive. They picked Ethan and Grayson up at my house after school. They saw where I live, the type of house that I live in. And they were disgusted. I could tell by the look on their faces when they fake smiled at me. 

***FLASHBACK***

"I love this house, Becca. It's so.... Unique. So.... you." Aubrey said with the fakest smile possible, trying to make Ethan and Grayson believe that they liked me. 

"Yeah, Becca. It's just so...." I didn't let her finish the sentence.

"You don't get to call me BECCA, only my friends call me that and neither of you are one of them. So drop the act. You've bullied the twins and I for years and wanted nothing to do with us. Then, suddenly when the twins become 'famous' you want EVERYTHING to do with us. I know who you really are, BITCH--"

"OOOOOKAY! I think that's enough of that, Becks." Ethan said. I can tell now who's side he's really on. 

"You don't get to call me that anymore. You're with them now. You don't need me. You don't want anything to do with me anymore. We barely even talk, let alone hang out. Just leave me the fuck alone." I say as I slam the door in their face. 

***END FLASHBACK***

After that, I never saw them again.... that is, until freshman year of high school began....

A/n: Heyyyyy, guys. This is the very first chapter of this book. I hope you like it. It might be a little messy and terrible because I've only ever written one other book that I have yet to finish. Unlike this one, it's just an Ethan fanfiction. It's called TROUBLE -E.D FANFICTION if you want to go check it out, it would mean a lot. I will warn you, it isn't finished yet, but at some point it will be. Anyways... I hope you liked this chapter. It took a great deal of thought because I have so many ideas and I need to put them in order. I hope you have a great morning, day, afternoon, evening, whenever you may be reading this. Love you all and PEACE ✌
