Falling for a Cloud

Chapter 7

"Ya. I'm no lier." JC snaps and I scowl at his perfect features.  We have only shortly been here, and I'm already having a bad time.

"Okay, what did you need to tell me." I roll my eyes once more and I whisper because I figure I might as well save my voice for when I have to yell at him.

"Sam is using you." What?

"Excuse me?" I scoff, he can't be telling the truth. Sam can't be rude, can he?

"You heard me.  Didn't you?" His look is smug and he looks like he just crawled out of bed.  

"You can't be serious." I cringe at the thought of JC actually being right.

"Oh my god. Are you serious? You can't see it? You can't can you! You can't see through him! You can't see that he's using you!" He points at me and I see why my mother taught me not to point.  my mouth slightly opens, I'm extremely offended.  My fists ball at my sides and the anger in my body is spilling over.  

"Fine! Tell me! Tell me how foolish I am JC! Tell me how Sam is supposedly 'using me'. Tell me how such a sweet guy can do something so harsh.  Go ahead JC, tell me." I yell out in anger and the neighbors begin to stare at the scene I have created.  I'm glad I had previously saved my voice.  Trying to prepare yourself for any kind of suprise news is unbearable.  

"Jeez.  Okay Ms. Pushy." He sighs and I think about cussing him out, but decide against it.  

"He told me that once you moved here to California,  he would dump you.  He would leave you knowing no one.  Except us of course." He calmly states and all of this seems relatively possible so my brain decides to believe it.  My heart on the other hand, is hurt,  is furious,  is.... burned.  

"No." I mutter under my breathe, I know he can't here me.  So he continues talking.

"But he was going to keep all of us apart from you.  I beat him up for you.  I thought maybe you would move on and forget about him.  But it just made me look like a monster." He looks down at his feet and my heart gives up on me.  It totally collapses.  I can't feel anything.  My body's numb.  I nod my head and stare at the wallbehind JC. I can't believe this.  My chest begins collapsing, then inflating once again.  I decide to completely stop inflating my chest.  I don't have the muscles in me.  I find tears streaming down my cheeks and I'm completely silent.  I can't make a sound. I am moving here.  It's been my dream, and I'm not going to let Sam ruin that for me.  

It's been a half hour.  A half hour spent outside, by myself.

*JC's P.O.V*

"What did you tell her? She hasn't come inside." That a$$ Sam asks me and I just want to throw him through a wall.  

"I told her about her usage." I turn away and walk into the kitchen,  Sam's hand grasps my upper arm and I slowly turn around.

"About her what?" Dam* he's stupid.  

"About how you used her, or were using her.  She deserved to know." I'm trying to stay chill about this whole situation.  I swear to god, I've been asked too many questions today.

"She hates me now?" I nod and he looks upset.  But he does this to everyone.  He makes me look like an a**hole, then he turns around and is a little sweetheart to whichever girl who's life he wants to ruin.  Then she falls head over heels and he just bad mouths her behind her back.  This one,  this girl doesn't deserve this.  No one does.  But there was something in her eyes that I haven't seen before, her eyes  were so trusting and,  I felt for a minute, like I was the one fanning over her.
