"i tried phoning krissa.."

justin says,tapping his pen on his desk.

"dude, it's been a week,let her go." i said while ticking the boxes on the attendance sheet as i looked outside the glass wall of his office,making sure everyone was there.

"...she hasn't even texted back."

"good." i say.

atleast she still comes to work.

this play wouldn't be complete
without the other Heather.

i looked back at him, expecting he would raise his brow at me.

"what you did was fucked,bro.im sorry i keep telling you this but you can't keep hurting your girlfriend."

"she's not my girlfriend...anymore." he said,gazing on his pen.

"wow,surprising." i sarcastically said.

"she'll be back." he shrugged.

"cycle..but what if she won't? ofcourse  you won't care,but i mean..if she won't come back are you gonna keep chasing after krissa?" i placed the sheet on his desk.

he turned his chair to krissa's direction,looking at her while she rehearsed with the others.

he was telling me things,but i wasn't able to focus on it when another thing caught my attention.

jade.

not just jade...shawn.resting his head on jade's shoulder as she was reading her lines out loud.

it seemed like was mistaken with her part and they both burst out laughing,and she tucked her hair behind her ear.

that was always her signature move---the hair tucking behind ear.she didn't seem flirting,no.

shawn was.the way he looked at her,the way he looked at her lips as she spoke,the way he would mirror her little actions as if he was a pro at body language.

shaw mendes--the kid who plays the role of JD in the play.

JD aka the love fucking interest of Veronica Saywer who is played by MY love interest Jade fucking Coldin.

"i gotta go." i said, making justin stop his rant.

i went to my office and checked instagram.

"ugh,amazing." i muttered to myself as i see a photo of him and jade on his feed.

'coffee buddies.' it says.

this was in marcus' cafe!

wack.

it's obvious he only wants to sleep with her.

why are you going along with this,jade?

trouble is all he is,im sure.and this was taken only this morning!wow.

so what happened to us that night meant nothing to you?

ah shit,nothing even happened.but i know there was a connection.a strong connection.

i know you felt it too.but why are you letting this happen?

"okay,now you're supposed to hold me like this.." shawn demonstrates,as he pulled me in closer to him while we rehearse.

the smell of his cologne made it seemed like i just dived into his chest,and i wasn't fighting hard enough to keep my head above water,so i tried harder.
