The New Boy

A Terrible Mess

It had now been a week since the arcade and I was spending my weekend alone, as I expected. None of my 'friends' had called me or even texted to see if I was okay, it is pretty clear that they are done with me and I guess I am just going to have to live with it and move on.

If you are wondering I'm still hopelessly in love with Brad, but he doesn't love me anymore and as he said a week ago he is 'done' so I'll have to get over him eventually.

Maybe I should try and find a new guy, someone to take my mind of Brad. Who am I kidding? Nothing can take my mind of him. He was, is the love of my life.

I decided to get out of bed and I headed downstairs to find a note on the table.

Megs,

I've gone shopping with a friend and will be out the whole day and I might stay the night at hers, there is a pizza in the fridge you can have if you get hungry and I have left some money in the kitchen draw if there are any emergencies.

Love, Mum xox

Since Tessa had spent the night at Aliee's or Megen's I don't really know which I was home alone, again. I used to love it when I had the house to myself, I could do anything I wanted, I could play music as loud as I wanted, I could walk around in my pjamas, I could watch what I wanted to watch on TV without being interrupted, but now I'm just alone with the thoughts that haunt me.

I tried to think of something I could do that would distract me, and the only thing that came to mind was housework. First I noticed there was no food in the house so I took the money from the drawer and popped down to the shops to stock up on some essentials. When I got back I decided I should clean the house, Mum would be happy if I did I guess and it would keep me occupied for a few hours so I headed to the cupboard and got out everything I needed.

Once I was finished polishing, dusting, vacuuming and tidying downstairs I made my way upstairs into Tessa's room as I thought she would appreciate it if I tidied up her stuff too. As I began to clear the floor so I could vacuum it a bright purple book with flowers on it sticking out from under her bed caught my eye, was it her diary? No one would know if I took a little peak so I opened it up and began to read.

Dear Diary,

Everything is going well, my plan finally prevailed and Brad dumped Megs yesterday. I have to say I am pretty proud with my idea of ruining her friendships hence ruining her relationship and its good those silly little friends of hers had no clue.

My heart sank.

Tessa.

Tessa was the one behind all of this. She is the reason my friends have deserted me. She is the reason Brad broke up with me. I should have known, I should have realised she was up to something. She was always sneaking around and spending a lot of time in her room, most likely hatching plans to ruin my life, which she has done.

A smirk grew on my face when an idea popped into my head. I ran downstairs to the photocopier and copied the page I had just read. By the time the ink had dried I quickly put on my coat and ran out the house and headed to Brad's place.

***

After running the whole way I finally arrived hardly able to catch my breath. As soon as I showed this to Brad he would realise it was Tessa all along and then everything would be good again.

I knocked loudly on the door and shortly after his Mum opened it.

"Megs! What are you doing here?" She asks, surprised.

"I came to see Brad, is he in?"

"Yes my dear, he's upstairs, I thought you two broke up though?"

"Yes, we did but I came to fix things."

"Oh good, he's been a terrible mess lately, come on in."

"Thank you." I smiled as I walked past her and up the stairs making my way into Brad's room. I pushed open the door and my eyes met what felt like a nightmare.

My heart dropped and I felt sick as I saw Tessa and Brad sitting on his bed, kissing.

Since Brad was facing the other way he didn't realise I came into the room. But Tessa opened her eyes whilst her mouth was still on his and shot me a evil wink.

I couldn't watch it anymore, I had to get out. I headed for the door dropping the piece of paper I had in my hand at the top of the stairs.

I had to get out of this house.

I felt like my heart had smashed into a million pieces.

Pieces that could never be put back together.
