The secrets of summer

Chapter 14

Bri keeps ignoring my calls and won't come to the door when I'm there. I know I messed up and I know she's right that I should give her space.

I've never been in a situation like this. Hell I never thought I would ever be like this.

Bri and I never like the same guy. Let's hope this never happens again.

I can't stand to fight with her, she's my best friend. Practically my sister! I love her to bits and if this tears us apart I don't think I would forgive myself.

Oh my god I need to tell Austin. I don't know what to say. I know I need to call him.

I make a mental list of all the pros and cons of being honest and lying.

After sitting in my room for two hours crying I do the stupidest thing I could possibly think of. 'I don't know what to do...' I wait for Colton to reply.

Within seconds he types back 'Do whatever you think is right' I throw my phone at the wall and my mom yells "Sasha be careful!"

I'm not in the mood for my mom's annoying comments. As much as I love her, she annoys the hell out of me.

I call Austin on the phone after deciding that if I lie it will eventually turn around and bite me on the ass.

"Hello" he answers. I sniffle "Sasha why are you crying? What's wrong?"

He asks me, I can hear the concern clear in his voice. I begin to tell him, but I can't bring myself to do it.

"I-I love you."

He takes a deep breath "And I love you too"

I can't hold in my tears anymore. Hearing his voice is too much. "I'm breaking up with you, I'm sorry."

I hang up the phone before he can answer. He immediately calls back and I decline. He texts me too 'What are you talking about?' I sit and my room and cry, I have no one now. I ruined my life.

I text Colton 'I broke up with him please come here now.' He texts back 'be there soon. What's ur address?' I give him my street name and number.

Within ten minutes he's here. My mom has gone out so we're alone. I run up and wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his chest. He has a different smell than Austin, it's weird and I don't like it. Austin had a sweet boyish smell, he just draws a blank. I can't smell anything on him and I instantly wish I could have something that you could smell and cuddle with. I grab his hand and lead him to my bedroom. I sit on my bed and he sits beside me and I sob for hours. Unsure how I have any tears left in me. His hands run through my hair and I'm surprised how soft his touch is. He is very muscular, but this is very comforting. I eventually fall asleep in a little ball, curled up on his lap.
