Rosie's POV

Yet another weekend passes where I am having the time of my life with Matthew. He has seemed more sad and nervous lately. But I know that it is about his mission. He wants to go yet he doesn't want to leave me. Well, he won't. And I won't bail out on him either. He is too perfect.

I am now at school. I head towards my first period. Crap. I don't want to be in this class at all right now. This is the class that I have with Sammie. Sammie is the last person I would want to see right now. I walk into the room and see Sammie talking to Katie. I walk strait past them and don't look Sammie in the eye. The last thing I want to do is start yelling at my ex-best friend.

The worst thing is that she sits right next to me. So as she sits, I turn my body away from her. Right as Mrs. Bandore is getting ready to start class; there is a note that slides onto my desk. It came from the direction Sammie sat. I didn't look at her; instead I opened the note with a straight face.

"Please forgive me for the things I said. I miss you talking to me. And because I want to be your friend again, that means that I was your friend before. And friends tell the truth. I told you the truth when I saw Matthew and Bella. I promise you that it is the truth. Best friends honor. Please forgive me. I love and miss you!" Once I finished the note. I crumbled it up and softly but forcefully tossed the crumbled up paper to her side of our paired up desk.

Mrs. Bandore started talking about the Revolutionary War. I pretended to listen when I was really thinking about how mad Sammie makes me.

It's already the end of 5th period. So, since it's the last 10 minutes of class, our teacher, Mrs. Larson, gives us our homework and lets us talk to our friends. I go over to Bella and Emma who are in the same class.

I am so glad that I am with these two. Although, for as long as I can remember, Bella and Emma have been having a little battle to see who is a better friend with me. But I love one as much as the other. I have never had just one best friend. All of my life, I have been with a group and never one person. There were times when it was only me and the other, but most of the time there were me and two or more.

I walk over to them and Emma is smiling like she usually is. She is like a light. She is always shining. There are times when the light dies out. But that is why I am there to change the lightbulb to one that will shine brighter.

Bella is acting a little weirder than she usually is. She looks like she could grab any guy in the whole school and make out with them. Yet, she doesn't look that desperate. It looks like her eyes are only set out for one guy. Like usual. Yet this time, she looks extra desperate then she usually does. Man, I think James has a really strong hold on her.

"What's up guys?" I ask as I walk over to them.

Emma smiling says, "Nothing much."

I look over to Bella. "How about you?" She didn't even look at me. It is really weird how strange she can act when she is thinking. And the weirdest thing is, we share this class with James and she isn't even looking at him. She is looking at the clock. She must be desperate for class to end. I wonder why.

Emma and I spend the last ten minutes talking about stuff as Bella doesn't even pay attention to the conversation. It seems like she is in her own state of mind that doesn't involve anyone.

Eventually, the bell rings and Bella bursts out of her seat and runs out the door.

"What's going on with her?" asked Emma.

"I have no idea."

I go out to my locker and get all of my homework gathered up, and then I head towards my car. On my way, I see from the corner of my eye something that I thought I would never see happen in my entire life.

Matthew's POV

Once the bell rings, I get out of the door done with science. Once I am in the hall, Sammie stops me and pins me to the wall.

"If you think that I didn't see what I saw then I swear, there is a lot coming to you, soon enough, Rosie will eventually find out and you will regret absolutely everything" said Sammie very mad. When she finished, she released the pressure she put on my chest left without me being able to respond. Great. Imagine how I feel knowing that Sammie is now threatening me. Although, we have been saying that we hate each other for as long as I can remember, I think that she really does hate me now. That kind of scares me.

After school, I always meet Rosie out by her car and we talk for a little bit. So, I stick with what we always do and I try to get to her car before she even does. So, I head over to her car.

Before I can even get to the doors, Bella comes and stops me. She pushes me to a little place beside some stairs. I can feel her breath on me. Her breath smells strange. I know exactly what it is.

Before I can say anything, Bella says, "I can't stop thinking about that kiss that I gave you. It changed me. I realized that I really need you more than Rosie ever did. So, you should totally come with me. Leave her!" Without warning, she grabs my face and pulls me forcefully into her lips before I could say anything... again. I guess girls don't want me to say anything anymore.

Not wanting to hurt her, I don't push her away. Not knowing where to put my hands, I put them on her waist and start to slowly and gently push her away. That is when I knew that was the wrong place to put my hands and that I should have just pushed her away anyway. Because Rosie walked by and stopped in her place and looked back at me and Bella. I now really do push her harder and wipe my mouth.

"Matthew? You- Bella- why!?" Rosie started off shocked then turned mad.

"Look Rosie-" I started. I stopped knowing that I am in a very bad place and that right at this moment my words won't help.

While Rosie is looking at me very mad, she starts to walk toward us. It looks like she is ready to slap me when she walks to Bella and slaps her hard in the face.

"I should have known. You did tell me that you liked him before he and I started dating. Why?! WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU BE THIS SELFISH THAT YOU WOULD LOCK LIPS WITH MY BOYFRIEND!?" Rosie yells. But she doesn't even let Bella talk because she slaps Bella again. I have never seen Rosie be this mad at anyone. Yes, she has been mad, but not this much.

Then she walks up to me. She now is quieter. "Why? Why did I make myself believe that you are more important than friendship? I should have known that Sammie would never lie to me. I never thought that you would be this bad. You broke a friendship and you broke a relationship with me, and you broke my heart. I never want to see you again."

She left with that. She didn't even touch me. Why? Why did I throw her friendship away? Why did I break her heart? I know that deep down I knew that kissing Bella was wrong. So why did I let her kiss me? Why am I so stupid? It is all Bella's fault! She is the one that kissed me in the first place!

"Oops. Now where were we?" said Bella as she tries to kiss me again. I push her away from me very forcefully.

"You... You are the one that ruined everything! I was in the best relationship! I WAS WITH THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS!! WHY WOULD I LET YOU THROW MY LIFE AWAY, AND WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME!?!" I leave to my car after that to chase after Rosie to apologize. I can't lose her. I just can't! But I feel like I already have.
