Not Such A Bad Boy

Falls Apart

Xavier's P.O.V:

Days turn into weeks, then the weeks turn into months, and all I see everyday is her with him. That should've been me. I should've said something sooner. She's happy though that's all that matters.

Although, Stacy has been strangely quiet over the course of their relationship. She's even gone as far as to start pushing me away whenever I ask about it. Seems like I'm the only one that's noticed any difference. Those two are just so caught up with each other it's heart wrenching. 

I wanted her but I was too late on the draw. 

Glancing up from my seat at lunch I see something that catches my eye. It's that one girl, one of his victims from early on in the school year, think it was first year; yeah that's what it was. What was her name? I can't quite remember.

Cole seems to really have a type if you know what I mean. What does she want?

She's headed straight for me and if looks could kill. Sooner rather than later she's standing directly in front of me. "So, what's up er..?" She gives me a death glare, "You still don't remember my freaking name?!? It's Lacy." 

Today's just not my day. "Yes, I remember you. So what's up Lacy?" She plops herself down in the seat right in front of me with a sigh, "Cut the crap Xavier. I want your friend not you." Ummm say what now?

"Um say what now?" Can this chick do anything besides glare at people? 

"I mean I want revenge on your best friend and if that girl of his gets hurt all the better. At least she'll know what he's really like." 

This doesn't sound like Lacy. It sounds more like, Stacy. The realization hits me like a ton of bricks. So this is what they're planning. I can't let that happen. All because he used to be a player and he hurt them. Why can't these chicks just let it go? He's changed. He's not like he used to be at all, and I mean that literally. 

Roseanne is good for him. He's finally getting what I've been saying for years; not to push everyone away and just let that one special person into his world. Let them see the person I know him to be.

I've got to stop this. 

"Look Lacy, I know he hurt you but it's been what three years? You need to get over it. He's not at all the person you think. Plus Roseanne is good for him. They're perfect for each other. Why can't you go bug someone else and be happy for a change? Move on." 

She gets up from my table shooting daggers at me from her eyes. "We'll just see about that Xavier. He can't hide his true nature forever."

I gulp then glance over at where my best friend and the girl I've had feelings for are sitting. I need to warn them. Stacy can't go through with this. It's not right.

Even if I really want Roseanne to be mine and not his. I don't want to lose my best friend in the process. Hell, I don't want to lose either one of them at all.
