    Tears burnt my cheeks as they rolled down, ever so casually and for a moment, just a moment, I didn’t have to pretend I was okay or that everything would be okay. I didn’t need to be optimistic, I didn’t need to be happy and I didn’t need to feel the way everyone else was feeling. I could be myself.
    The truth had burnt a hole in my heart. You don’t want me – you don’t love me. Sounds pathetic, right? And in a way, yes, it is pathetic. It’s pathetic that I’ve let one boy make me feel so worthless, so good for nothing.
    You had always been a nice guy. You have one hell of a sense of humour and even if you weren’t the cutest fish in the sea, in my eyes you were flawless. I couldn’t describe the way I felt for you. Not then, not now – all I can say is that I felt unstoppable when I was with you. You made me feel pretty; you made me feel like I was worth it.
    You had always been my first thought when I woke up and my last thought when I fell asleep. Funny how you still are but when I think of him I don’t become happy anymore and I don’t smile. I frown and sometimes, I cry because I miss what we had and I just didn’t want you to be in love with someone else. Who was I kidding, though?
    “It’s going to be okay! It’s not the end of the world.” I didn’t understand how so many people could say that when you were my world. You were my everything and it was hard to go on pretending I didn’t know you and pretending you had never been sprawled across my bed, laughing at me with that contagious laugh while I danced around in my pajamas. It was hard to forget about that one time when I had run to you, crying because of something that seems so stupid now and you had held me until I calmed down and whispered sweet nothings into my ear. It was hard not to remember our first time, the way you had been so gently and caring with me. It was hard not to remember the first time you told me “I love you.” The way you had held my face. It was hard to forget your laugh. It was hard to forget your eyes – the chocolate brown that I could stare into for forever. It was hard to forget your smile but most of all; it was hard to forget the way I felt when I was around you. I was scared I’d never feel that way with anyone, ever again.
    I had waited days and days for you to break up with me. I knew it was coming. You started to distant yourself from me and we started spending less and less time together and sometimes, you pretended you didn’t get my texts when I knew you had. I tried not to be clingy, I gave you some space, I stopped texting you so much, stopped bugging you but you had already made up your mind.
    “I’m sorry, Elise. It’s not you it’s me. I just don’t think I’m in a position in my life where I should be dating.” Why were you running around, laughing with her a couple of days later? Why had you left me abandoned with no one to turn to?
    Nobody understood. Everybody thought you were just another boy with a cute smile. Everybody told me that in a year, I probably wouldn’t even remember what we had shared but I know they’re wrong. Nobody could ever make me forget the way you had made me feel, even if I wanted so badly to forget. I tried everything to forget.
    I went out, I got drunk, I went home with a stranger but in the end, I just couldn’t do it. All I could think about was you, the way you had touched me. I couldn’t stop comparing the man with you and he was nothing compared to you. I ended up leaving before anything happened because I couldn’t go through with it. You were in my veins. You are in my veins. I love you and I beg you, please don’t be in love with someone else.

    Chapter 3
    I looked up to see Jeff walking behind me. "Well Jeff, if I was following you why are you behind me?" I winked at him and walked away towards my teacher. "Hi, I'm Bree." I said giving my teacher a bright smile.
    "But of course! I'm Mr. Montgomery. It's the first day of the new semester so take a seat and you'll learn more. There's a seat in the back left corner if that's okay with you."
    I smiled and nodded, "Great. Thanks," I said walking away. I walked into the row and in the second seat in the row next to mine was Jeff. I ignored him and walked towards the back. Mr. Montgomery taught English 11. We had to read To Kill A Mocking Bird and Antigone this semester. I had read those last year in my AP English 10 class. So it was going to be repetitive, boring. He handed the books down the row and then talked more about the semester. What felt like hours later the bell rang. I gathered up all my stuff and walked out. The rest of the day went by quickly, I was in my 7th hour class when a familiar face walked towards me.
    "Well, Hi there." He said sitting down next to me.
    I smiled, "Hey."
    "So, you should give me your cell phone number." He said bluntly.
    I gave him a look, "Why?" I asked.
    "Because there's a bonfire tonight and people want you there so they can meet you." He said.
    I leaned back and crossed my arm, "Oh. Why would they want me there?" I asked.
    He smiled and let out a laugh, "Because you're hot. Now then princess, whats your number?" He said pulling out his phone.
    I typed my number into his phone and then he shot me a text message. "Hey ;)".
    "Winky face," I said, "Very original."
    He laughed and then turned to face the teacher. Math. Boring, difficult, annoying, stressful.
    He passed out books and told us our materials for the class. Time dragged on for hours when the final bell rang. I gathered up my stuff and walked accross the street into the junior lot. The hot valley sun was flashing down on my back. I threw my stuff into the back seat and turned the air conditioning on high and drove home.
    When I got into my house, no one was home but there was a note from my step mom. "Dinners in the over for you. Sorry, emergency business trip. Your lunches are packed for the rest of the week and theres money in the cabinet. Love you lots xox Adrina."
    I grabbed my food from the oven and sat in the lonely dark kitchen, I figured both of them would be out of town at some poimt. I was on my phone when someone called me, a number I didn't know.
    "Hello?" I asked.
    "Hey," I recognized Jeff's voice.
    "Oh sorry. I forgot to put your name in my contacts." I said.
    "It's no problem. Be ready at 7 tonight." He said.
    "Why?" I asked.
    "The f//cking bonfire."
    "Oh. Yeah sure whatever, I'll be ready." I looked at the clock, 5:30. "I'm gonna go get ready. Text me how to get there."
    "ok, bye." he said as the line went dead.
    I went into my room and showered quickly. I left the shower and started doing my hair. At around 6:30 I checked my phone. He sent me directions and told me to wear a bathing suit. I finished up my hair then started getting ready. I put on a yellow, push up bathing suit top with white bottoms and studded, distressed jean shorts. I put on my white flip flops, grabbed a beach bag and some money, then locked my house and left. I followed the simple directions to the beach and got out. It was 7:15. "Hey you're late."
    the title is going to come into play a lot in the next chapter.

    CHAPTER 50 x x x .
    “I know you’re probably not going to want anything to do with me after this, and if you never talk to me again I would completely understand. I just need you to know this, Kelli: I love you. More than I’ve ever loved any girl and—”
    “HAHAHA!” she burst out laughing. “You’re so full of sh.i.t, Cody. If you ‘loved me more than you’ve loved any girl,’ you wouldn’t have gotten with Brooke.”
    “You don’t get it, Kelli!”
    “No, I completely get it. ‘Don’t worry about Brooke, don’t worry if guys love her. I love you so that’s all that matters, Kel.’ Yeah, okay. That was just your way of getting me not to suspect anything. Every guy loves Brooke, it’ll always be that way. And you’re just like every guy, so—”
    “I don’t love Brooke!” I yelled at her. “Okay, Kelli, I DO NOT LOVE HER! I’m not going to lie to you and say that she meant nothing to me, because at one point she did. But never more than you. There’s a lot of differences between you and Brooke, I’ve tried to explain that to you for a while. And I think the biggest difference is that she can capture guys’ attention, but not their love. You can do both. You’ve had my love for a while now and it really f.ucking sucks that I f.ucked it all up because I wanted to get with Brooke because honestly, I felt bad for her. Okay, I know I sound like a d.ouche saying it, but I felt bad for her. She has a hard life, and there’s stuff she hasn’t even told you. She needed someone, the way you needed someone at one point, the way that I needed someone at one point. I tried to be that person because you stopped being there for her once you got me. But Brooke is too broken for me! I can’t help her, and I’m not going to try anymore. She’s toxic, breaking everything and everyone around her too so everything matches with her. I’m not sure if I’ve lost you completely, but just know I’m completely done with Brooke, and I’m going to go on acting as if nothing ever happened between me and her. The only good thing Brooke has ever done for me was make me realize how much I actually love you, and how sorry I am, and how much I need you still. Kelli, please, I’m sorry.”
    She stood there for a moment, and I couldn’t tell what she was going to do. I couldn’t take these unreadable expressions anymore—I needed some answers. She got into the car after a moment and just started crying. Seeing her cry made me cry, no matter how bad I didn’t want to show it.
    “I still want to be with you, Cody,” she said. “But you have to promise me something: you can never hurt me as bad as you just hurt me today.”
    “I wouldn’t, Kel. All I want to do is make you happy. I’m sorry about everything with Brooke, Honestly, she was always a good friend to me so I do care a lot about her. I just didn’t want her to feel as worthless as I once felt—”
    “Stop talking about Brooke,” she cut me off. “Don’t talk to her either. You’re not allowed to have any connections to Brooke, and if I find out you are, I won’t even hesitate to tell everyone how she got her scar. I know you care about her still, and I know that would ruin her life. Am I right?” I swallowed nervously and nodded, realizing how serious she was. “And if I find out you hook up with her, we’re completely done, forever, with no chance of getting back together. This is your last chance, so make it a good one.”
    “Okay,” I agreed. She kissed me, and for a second, it was like everything was back to normal.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The first day of school rolled around, and I picked Kelli up at exactly 7:20, just like she told me. Kelli acted as though nothing ever happened with Brooke, so that’s how I acted too. Many people in our school already figured out what happened—I don’t know how, but I got a bunch of texts asking if it was true, as did Kelli, and as I’m sure Brooke did too.
    I carried Kelli’s books and held her hand as we walked into the school together and to her locker, which was right next to one that had huge Sharpie letters spelling SL.UT on it, which Kelli told me was Brooke’s. I told her I had to go to my locker but to meet me there.
    When I got closer to my friends, I could see a girl standing in front of them. As I got closer, I could see her long, brown, curly hair and her perfect profile as she turned to the side: Brooke. My friends nodded their heads at me and it was too late to turn around, they’d already seen me. I nodded my head back, and no matter how much it hurt me, kept walking to ignore Brooke completely.
    Like nothing. Ever. Happened.
    The End.

    CHAPTER 48 x x x .
    I couldn’t even say anything—I didn’t know how to explain myself, or how I’d get out of this—I couldn’t get out of this. I was wrong, I completely f.ucked up, and I knew it. All of the sh.i.t I was about to get was completely deserved, and it was entirely my fault. I just never prepared myself in the hopes that this moment would never actually happen.
    “Oh my God, Kel!” Brooke immediately started crying too. Whether it was because she truly felt bad or because she knew she caught, I would never know. But now everything was gone.
    Kelli ran out and Brooke followed after her. That was the first problem—I should have been the one going after Kelli. Not Brooke.
    I sat there, debating on whether or not I should go out there, but I had no clue what to even do—this was it. This was the moment that was bound to happen ever since I started things with Brooke. My decision making was interrupted by the sound of Brooke and Kelli screaming at each other outside on Carter’s porch.
    “You thought you were so much better than me because you had a boyfriend—well now we’re the same!” Brooke tried to convince her.
    “What?? We’re supposed to be best friends and I know that means we do a lot of the same things but that does not include getting with the same guy! Brooke, that actually makes sense to you? Of course it does, you’re f.ucking crazy! That’s why you cut your own f.ucking face!” Kelli yelled at her. That’s when all the other guys looked at each other, sadness all over their faces from finding out the secret behind Brooke’s scar.
    “Did you know that that’s how she got it?” Carter asked me. I nodded slowly. “How long were you getting with Brooke for? I just can’t even believe you cheated on Kelli, I thought—”
    “Shut up, Carter! Stop being an a.sshole! Okay, I know it’s wrong and I shouldn’t have done it!” I yelled at him.
    “So then why did you??” he yelled back.
    “Because look at her! How the f.uck was I supposed to say no to Brooke? She’s perfect, I’d be crazy not to get with her when I had the chance! That chance just so happened to come after I started dating Kelli. Of course I love Kelli, it was just an impulse decision when I hooked up with Brooke for the first time but once that happened, I couldn’t stop! I’ve learned my f.ucking lesson, you don’t have to try to point it out to me, Carter. I really f.ucked up but you know what, now I know how to appreciate what I have and how to actually love a girl, because now I’ve ended up with no one.”
    “That’s exactly what you said about Jade and Lacey, yet look at the situation you’re in again,” Carter spat. My friends gasped, said ‘oh, sh.i.t,’ turned the other way, and had every possible reaction to the fact that Carter brought up Jade and Lacey. I stood there, with nothing else to say. That’s exactly what happened with Jade and Lacey, except they weren’t best friends—they were enemies. And I didn’t know which combination was worse.
    I couldn’t believe he brought that up—that was probably the worst year of my life, with my family, my drug and alcohol addiction, and a bunch of other sh.i.t piling up on top of it. Jade and Lacey were the last people I wanted to hear about. I continued standing there, staring at him until tears started covering my eyes.
    “Bro, I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have said that,” Carter quickly realized his mistake.
    “Do you think I wanted to put two people through that again? Do you think I wanted to put myself through that again? Brooke’s going through a lot of sh.i.t that you guys would never even expect. She needs someone to take care of her, and I became that person. It wasn’t like what happened with Jade and Lacey, I swear! I wasn’t just playing both of them—I seriously liked both Kelli and Brooke. But knowing what I put Jade through by cheating on her, I still feel awful. And I didn’t even like her. I think I love Kelli. Which makes this ten times worse. I don’t know what to do guys.” I sat down and put my head in my hands so they couldn’t see the few tears I actually allowed to pass.
    Carter sat down next to me and rubbed my back, trying to console me, Brooke and Kelli’s screaming and fighting making fabulous background noise. “I know you care about both girls, so do all of us. They’re great people but you know which girl you have to go after, right?”
    “Of course I do,” I said. “I just hope Kelli forgives me.”

    CHAPTER 46 x x x .
    Of course Brooke meant a lot to me. I could always go to her, I always laughed and had a good time when I was with her, I could be myself around her—I just really liked her. But how do you tell someone who you know loves you that you don’t love them back, even though you act as though you do? Taking risks, lying to everyone who loves you, doing everything you can not to get caught—but you don’t love them. Maybe you love the idea of them, or the way they make you feel, but not them themselves.
    You can’t.
    “Look, I understand completely where you’re coming from. I’d only known that girl Ava for a few hours before I hooked up with her. I didn’t think I loved her but I was definitely questioning if I liked her. There was something about her that actually reminded me of you Brooke, the way that she could get any guy’s attention and how attractive not only she was, but her personality too that made you want to get to know her. Once she was gone, we texted a little but then I realized how much I really loved my girlfriend. Maybe when you and Brooke stop, you’ll realize how much you love Kelli, Code,” Graham said.
    I could just tell how upset Brooke was getting from Graham being on Kelli’s side, even though he had every right to be. Brooke felt like everyone was against her—she was going to feel like she wasn’t worth anything to anyone, like she didn’t matter. I couldn’t have that happen.
    “That’s the thing though. I don’t want to stop with Brooke. I want to stop with Kel. I want to break up with her but I can’t because then I’ll never see Brooke. But if I stay with her then I’m just being a d.ick and leading her on. I’m screwed either way,” I just made everything ten times worse.
    “I’m really sorry, man,” Graham said, having nothing else to say. Brooke turned over and layed down so her back was facing us. I just did the same, and I guess Graham did too.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    Carter’s mom brought down food for all of us, accidentally waking up me, Duke, and Jace. We started fighting over who got the first bagel, even though there would be a bunch for all of us. We woke up Graham, who then woke up Kelli next. She came over and gave me a good morning kiss, which made Graham give me a look like I should be ashamed of myself.
    Brooke was the next to wake up, who asked how everyone had slept, to which Kelli had replied, “Perfectly.” Jace complained that he heard birds chirping really early, and Duke and Mattie started arguing with him about what time birds chirp.
    “Oh my God, shut up!” Carter yelled at them and then tried to fall back asleep.
    Brooke and I subtly looked at each other, knowing the ‘chirping’ was our lips. Kelli quickly hopped off my lap, and I thought it was because she noticed me looking at Brooke and got insanely jealous or something. I was preparing myself for a disaster, but instead she said, “Sh.i.t, my mom’s calling, she can’t hear you guys talking! I’m going to go upstairs.”
    She left the room and I exhaled a breath I didn’t even know I was holding in.
    “I just feel bad that Kelli has absolutely no idea,” Graham said.
    “No idea about what?” Carter shot up.
    Here comes the disaster.

    CHAPTER 45 x x x .
    I instantly felt like absolute sh.i.t, knowing one of my best friends was trying to protect me from a mistake he himself made, but that I would never be able to stop myself from making.
    “I understand that, bro,” was all I could say.
    “I was just trying to keep you guys from doing something you’d both regret, I’m sorry if I acted like a d.ick. I’m so tired though, I’m going to go to bed, night guys,” he turned his head and fell asleep.
    I looked at Brooke, seeing if she had the same expression on her face that I did—guilt, embarrassment, regret—anything that told her this wasn’t a good idea.
    But her expression was unreadable. And ten minutes later, we were hooking up.
    When I kissed her, I couldn’t help but to smile. I didn’t want to, but how could I not? I felt her smiling too, but I could feel some kind of hesitation, something holding her back. Maybe this was it—the moment that Brooke realized we have to stop. I realized this a long, long time ago, but I just never could. I’m sure Brooke realized this too, but I mean maybe she finally understood it. Maybe she’d tell me this wasn’t a good idea, that she just made up with Kelli, that Graham and the rest of our friends would be so disappointed to find out, and she’d be the one to end things with me. I wouldn’t have to end things; I wouldn’t have to hurt her.
    Maybe that’s why I stuck around Brooke for so long. I couldn’t leave someone that broken to fix themselves. When I was that broken, I had Kelli to help me out. When Kelli was that broken, she had me to help her out. But when Brooke was that broken, who was there? But does that qualify as love?
    “Guys,” Graham said, forcing us both to pull up. “I’m still awake.”
    I heard Brooke quietly gasp and she looked at me to say something, but how was I supposed to explain that?
    “Guys, even after what I just said, you’re still doing this?” he asked, disappointingly. “Do the other guys know?”
    “Yeah, they do but Graham, look, it’s honest to God, not what it looks like,” I had no idea how I’d bullsh.it my way through this.
    “Then what is it?” he asked. And when I didn’t have an answer he continued, “I know you were just making out but bro, that’s still cheating. And Brooke, you just made up with Kel. Why would you do this again? The day everything became okay again?”
    “Graham, we should be honest with you. It wasn’t just today that Brooke and I did this again…we’ve been doing this. Ever since that first time you saw us. I know we told you it was one time but it wasn’t…” I tried not to sound so nervous. I just didn’t want him to think less of me than he had before he knew. I didn’t want him to think I was worthless.
    He started yelling at me that Kelli was right there and I yelled at him back to stop talking so loudly. “Of course I feel bad, Graham. Honestly, nothing against you Brooke, but I really wish we never started this. I love Kelli but I can’t stop going back to you. I know we fight a lot now because of this but the more we’re together, the more things I find to love about you,” I said. If I couldn’t bullsh.it my way out with lies, I’d bullsh.it my way out with the truth.
    “If you loved Kelli then you wouldn’t have any feelings for Brooke,” he said, trying to call me out on my lies.
    “I really love Brooke though,” I lied. “And that’s the problem.”

    CHAPTER 44 x x x .
    Now that three of my friends knew about what was going on between me and Brooke, I was starting to get nervous. She knew this too, but she acted completely unbothered by it, but who knew if she truly felt that way.
    We went back to Carter’s house to hang out and started playing dumb games like truth or dare, never have I ever, and even hide and seek. Brooke kissed Carter during hide and seek so “no one else suspected anything,” but I had a feeling she was just doing it to be spiteful. And I couldn’t even tell her that that hurt me, considering the position I was in.
    Carter told us that we could all sleep over his house if we wanted which I thought would be fun, now that Kelli and Brooke were friends again. For the first time in a while, everything felt like how it was on day one, where there were no problems or secrets.
    Brooke and Kelli fell asleep on the couch together by the time the food Carter’s mom had ordered for us arrived. All six of us devoured it, Mattie and Duke passing out right after we did. Graham and Jace laid down, really tired but neither wanted to fall asleep yet. Carter and I both reached for the last slice of pizza when Brooke woke up.
    “You guys ate all of it?” she asked, still half asleep.
    “Good job, you woke her up,” Carter burped in my face and took a bite out of the slice. “You might wake Kelli up too.”
    “Kelli’s a really heavy sleeper, you won’t,” Brooke said. As soon as she said that, we both gave each other the same look that no one else would notice, knowing the opportunity we had when everyone else fell asleep.
    Brooke’s stomach growled and she went for Carter’s pizza. He raised it above his head where she couldn’t reach and shook his head. “Carter, please! Just one bite!” she put her hand on his shoulder and stood on her tip toes to try to get the pizza. She was only wearing the shirt Carter gave her to sleep in, which lifted up as she raised her arm, exposing her bare a.ss that her thong didn’t cover.
    “Brooke, don’t do that!” I laughed at her, explaining what happens when she does.
    “No, Brooke, you’re good, keep doing that,” Graham said. Not gonna lie, that p.issed me off, but I didn’t show any emotion. If Mattie, Duke, or Jace had made that comment, I would have yelled at them for it because they knew how I felt about Brooke. I explained it to all of them the best I could, which was honestly that I do love Kel, but can’t figure out why I couldn’t let Brooke go.
    “Are you not wearing underwear?” Carter asked, almost too excitedly.
    “I don’t know, why don’t you check?” Brooke flirted with him. No, no, how about he doesn’t check. I watched as Brooke flirted around with Carter for a few more minutes, and I honestly wished Kelli was awake so I could flirt with her in front of Brooke. Why was I so spiteful?
    Brooke told us to all lay down in a circle with our heads facing each other so we could stay up and talk, but Jace had fallen asleep right after he positioned himself. Now that Brooke was laying next to me, I felt like I loved her again. I hated that no matter what she did, I couldn’t get angry at her enough to not want anything to do with her anymore. I’d always kind of want her, but I’d never be able to.
    Carter passed out next, and I was waiting for Graham to fall asleep so that Brooke and I were the only two awake when he admitted something to us that I never would have guessed.
    “Like, I really like my girlfriend, and you guys have to promise me you won’t say anything to her but I hooked up with another girl when I was dating her,” he looked down, regret spilling over his face.
    “What? Who? When?” Brooke was so hypocritically quick to ask.
    “She said her name was Ava Rivers but she wasn’t even from here so I wouldn’t know if she was lying. She said she was on vacation with her friend Savannah for a week and I figured since she wouldn’t be here long, it wouldn’t really matter and my girl would never find out. This was about a month ago which is why I flipped on you guys when I knew you...” he lowered his voice. “Hooked up. I was so disappointed in myself and regretted it so much after and I didn’t want Cody to make the same mistake I did.”

    CHAPTER 43 x x x .
    Carter and Graham came back after that and we walked back to the pizza shop now that things between me and her were straightened out. Now we just had to fix things between her and Brooke, if they could even be fixed at all.
    We walked in to see Brooke already at a table with Jace, Mattie, and Duke, her face changing from carefree to irritated in just a matter of seconds, as if that was going to make us not try to settle all this out.
    We all sat down at the same table; Brooke crossed her arms, Kelli grabbed my hand, neither broke their eye contact with each other.
    “Brooke, do you want to say anything?” Graham tried.
    “No,” she answered.
    “Kel?” he asked.
    “No,” she repeated.
    “Want to know what I think the problem is?” Carter asked, clearly showing how annoying this was.
    “No,” they both answered in unison.
    “I think the problem,” he continued anyway, “is that Kelli’s jealous that Brooke’s a huge flirt and gets a lot of guys but Brooke is jealous that Kelli’s the one who actually has a boyfriend. And because you each know that that makes the other jealous, you both go out of your way to try to seem better to the other one. And I know girls are really into drama but guys hate it so if you guys can just end this and be friends again that would be ‘perf’.”
    “Ew, don’t say ‘perf’,” they said at the same time again. They laughed a little that it was the second time they did that, but once they realized they were both laughing, they both stopped.
    “See, you even say the same things at the same time and it’s because you’re so similar. You’re too good of friends to let this sh.i.t get in your way. We like hanging out with you guys when you’re friends. Just stop fighting, it’s stupid,” Carter couldn’t have explained it better.
    “I’m sorry, Brookie,” Kelli was the first to apologize, after a moment.
    “I’m sorry too, Kel,” Brooke finally said, but her piercing stare never left my eyes.
    And there she went again, giving unclear signs of what she really meant that only I would notice. Was she actually sorry for being just as mean to Kelli as Kelli was to her? Or was she sorry for hooking up with her best friend’s boyfriend, although she’d never tell her that? Or was she sorry that Kelli was with me in the first place, and was apologizing to Kelli that she had to put up with me—a soft boyfriend who can’t stand up for what’s really right because he’s too afraid—all the time?
    I would never know.
    But one thing was clear—she was losing her patience. She couldn’t keep the secret much longer, and I really couldn’t either. It was tearing us apart and ruining a lot of things, yet neither of us could let it go. Why?
    I don’t know.

    CHAPTER 42 x x x .
    “Guys, can you give us a second?” I asked Carter and Graham. They nodded and walked down the boardwalk to give us privacy.
    “Kelli…” I tried to think of something to say.
    “I’m sorry,” she apologized.
    “What?”
    “I said I’m sorry. For being so clingy, for always wanting your attention, for loving you too much—”
    “Stop,” I cut her off. She shouldn’t have to apologize for anything. “Kelli, do you realize how much I owe you? You’re the one who got me sober, you’re the only person who truly knows the real me, you showed me what it feels like to be loved, and of course my life isn’t perfect but you’ve helped me get it back on track. All I’ve given you is heartbreak, misery, and doubts that you don’t deserve. It’s all my fault that you’re fighting with Brooke,” I apologized.
    “Cody, you don’t owe me anything. And it’s not your fault at all for what happened with Brooke, don’t blame yourself,” she said. Her sincerity and naivety hurt me more than she would ever know.
    “Do you know why I fell in love with you?” I asked.
    “Because I’m nice,” she said.
    “Because you’re beautiful: You’re passionate. You’re sincere. You’re driven. You’re strong. You’re compelling. You’re captivating. You’re everything I could never be, no matter how hard I tried. ‘Nice’ is a complete understatement. Want to know the difference between you and Brooke? Brooke’s afraid. No matter how perfect she tries to convince herself she is, she’s afraid. She’s afraid to let her guard down, she’s afraid to let people see the imperfect side of her, she’s afraid of what would happen if someone realized she’s not as great as she leads people to believe. You’re not afraid. You let your guard down and let me see who you were and opened up to me and that’s how I got to know that you’re all those things that I wish I was. You’re things that most people wish they could be. And deep down, you know that. That’s what’s beautiful,” I said.
    She kept her gaze straight forward, her hair shielding her face. Finally she looked up at me, her dark eyes full of tears. “I love you so much,” she kissed me. I kissed her too, my heart full of guilt, regret, sorrow, and any other emotion that would make my friends call me soft.
    I had to end things with Brooke. I knew I had to end things with Brooke if I wanted to continue things with Kelli. After I told Brooke I’d always been there for her and that I loved her too and made her believe she was worth something—f.uck.
    I couldn’t end things with her.
    That would only put her back where she started. She’d feel violated that I made her take that mask off and show me who was really inside because I’d leave her and take all her secrets with me. She’d regret everything, become even more bottled up, and maybe, even unfixable. She’d feel more worthless than ever, and I was never going to let someone feel as worthless as I’d felt when my parents gave up on me.
    I knew what I had to do.
    I know I’m a selfish player who’s c.ocky, ignorant, and d.ouchey, but if there was one thing I believed in, it was, believe it or not, God. I was raised in a really Catholic family, and although I stopped going to church years ago with my family and questioned the validity of the bible, I believed there was a God, or some higher force, that controlled everything.
    I’d have to just keep doing what I’ve been doing, and see where that takes me; see who I end up with.
    If I ended up with either of them at all.

    CHAPTER 41 x x x .
    “You three go after Brooke,” I told Jace, Mattie, and Duke. “We’ll go after Kelli. This fighting is such bullsh.it, just get them back here so they can talk it out.”
    They started running after Brooke who was pretty far down the boardwalk. Kelli didn’t go far at all. She sat on a bench outside just outside the store, crying into her hands with her long dark hair covering her face.
    “Babe, don’t do this,” I sat down and pulled her in close.
    “I just lost my best friend, what am I supposed to do?” Kelli cried.
    “I thought you didn’t even care about Brooke? You always said she was an attention wh.ore,” Carter said.
    “Oh no, she is,” Kelli said. “But she’s always been there for me and we’ve been best friends since fourth grade and once Cody and I started dating, she didn’t understand that I couldn’t focus all my time on her anymore.”
    “Being completely honest Kelli, you didn’t focus any attention on her at all. You focused it all on Cody,” Graham said. “She probably thought you forgot about all those times she was a good friend because you made Cody your everything and her your plan B.”
    I expected Kelli to give some bullsh.it excuse, but she surprised me when she said, “I know. And then we started fighting and I said things I didn’t mean out of anger and then she said even meaner things and now I just don’t even want anything to do with her. Now I just want you more.” She turned and faced me, giving me a long kiss.
    “So what?” Carter interrupted it. “I say d.ouchey things all the time to my friends, they get p.issed off and then we get over it the next day. Why can’t you guys just do that?”
    “Because the difference is you’re probably just saying what’s on your mind. The things she said were out of spite because she was knew it would hurt me,” Kelli said.
    “Like the fact Cody’s the only guy you’ve ever gotten with?” Graham asked.
    “Brooke’s just jealous that I don’t go around giving every guy a piece of me. Why would I be jealous of a girl that’s been used more times than a public restroom?” Kelli tried to defend herself.
    “Because you think that girl’s getting with your boyfriend,” Carter said.
    Graham and I exchanged looks for half a second before I looked away. Kelli didn’t say anything, and it’s because Carter was right. She always got quiet in the fight when she realized she was wrong. But she never got quiet in the fight with Brooke, and that’s because she didn’t think she was wrong.
    She wasn’t wrong. Brooke wasn’t wrong either.
    I was wrong.

    They sat there, in either shock or admiration—I couldn’t tell. They looked at each other and just started nervously laughing, trying to process it.
    “So then everything you’ve said to us about Kelli—everything you’ve said to Kelli herself—was just a lie?” Mattie asked.
    “No, that’s the thing. I love Kelli more than I’ve ever loved any girl. But then Brooke came along and now…”
    “Now you’re not so sure,” Mattie finished for me.
    “I guess—” I started to try to explain what I thought I’d been feeling right when Carter and Graham came back. We knew to just stop talking about it— a familiar raspy voice distraced all six of us and gave us the perfect excuse.
    “No! I already started walking away, this is over! Don’t talk to me!” Brooke stood out on the boardwalk.
    “Oh sh.i.t,” Carter laughed. “Brooke, calm down!”
    She turned to face us, the anger spilling out everywhere. “I should calm down?? I’m not the one who’s wrong here!” Next walked up Kelli, who looked in to see who Brooke was yelling to.
    “Babe, what are you doing here? You said you were busy,” she said, tears glossed her eyes.
    “This is why I was busy. The guys wanted to hang out,” I said.
    “You chose your friends over me?” she asked.
    “What kind of an a.sshole chooses their friends over the person they’re in a relationship with? Like, that’s the worst thing you can possibly do because it’s not like your friends are the ones who will always be there for you. Cody, like, I can’t even believe you’d hang out with your friends who you’ve known for years and have always been there for you over your girlfriend that you’ve known for a few months. Like, that’s just wrong, I can’t even,” Brooke said, her voice full of fake sincerity which made me think she was on Kelli’s side for a second until I really thought about what she said.
    “Brooke, I wouldn’t expect you to understand because you’ve never even had a boyfriend! But I don’t blame any of those guys- you’re a wh.ore who seems fun at first until you get to know her- then they realize you’re crazy!” Kelli yelled back. My friends looked at me to do something, but is it possible for the person who’s the problem to be the solution?
    “You’ve had one boyfriend and he’s the only one you’ve ever hooked up with. But no you’re right, guys like you sooo much better. People like you so much better,” Brooke walked away, adding in, “F.ucking b.itch!”
    Kelli knew everyone liked Brooke better than her. Brooke knew everyone liked Brooke better than her. Everyone knew everyone liked Brooke better than her. But saying it out loud was another story.
    “You’re just going to let her say that to me, Cody?” Kelli started crying.
    “What?? I don’t have control over what Brooke says, Kel,” I said.
    “You didn’t even stick up for me!”
    “Because Brooke ran away right after she said that, do you want me to go after her to yell at her and keep this sh.i.t going?”
    “It’s me or her,” she yelled at me, and walked off in the opposite direction Brooke did.
    I hesitated to move.

    CHAPTER 39 x x x .
    “You didn’t say anything, right?” I asked Jace quietly as we walked into the pizza shop. He promised he didn’t, and I knew he probably wouldn’t, but I still hated the fact that he knew.
    We ordered a pie and sat down at a table. The second Carter sat down he stood right back up. “Oh, sh.i.t, anyone else see that really hot girl just walk past? Graham, come with me to talk to her,” he grabbed his hand and pulled him out.
    “Don’t hold my hand, dude,” Graham pulled away and the two left to find the girl. Jace downed two iced teas while we waited forever for the pizza and left to go pee as Mattie told me and Duke about this band he found.
    “Yo, they did show at my brother’s college a few months ago, I saw them with him. They were really good live,” I said.
    “Do you have pictures from the concert?” he asked. I nodded, unlocked my phone and told him to go through to find them. I was just so hungry and still shaken up about last night to pay attention to anything.
    “Oh my God!” Mattie’s mouth dropped and turned the phone to Duke who’s eyes widened and then smiled.
    “What?” I asked.
    “How the f.uck did you get this??” Mattie asked, showing me the naked picture of Brooke that she sent me. I took my phone back and told them not to worry about it.
    “Did she send that to you? Bro, at least send it to us too, we won’t show anyone!” Duke said.
    “She sent it to me a while ago, I don’t know why,” I lied.
    “Does your girlfriend know?” Duke asked.
    “Regardless of if I have a girlfriend or not, Brooke’s still bangin’,” I bragged.
    “You told them everything going on with you and Brooke?” Jace came back to the table. I turned my head and widened my eyes to get him to shut up.
    “She just sent him a picture, calm down Jace,” Mattie laughed.
    “Wait…there’s more, isn’t there?” Duke asked. When I didn’t answer he punched my arm and said, “Bro, are you getting with her??”
    And that’s when I had to tell them the whole story, from start to finish.

    CHAPTER 37 x x x .
    “Stop the car, I want to get out,” she said.
    “Brooke, calm down, you’re not getting out, where would you go?” I tried to calm her down, realizing how wrong I was in this whole thing. Even though Brooke was the one to kiss me first, it was me who suggested we keep this going even after she said we could just pretend that nothing ever happened.
    She kept yelling and cursing me out, but I wouldn’t let her leave and walk alone almost two miles back to her house all by herself. She kept telling me she hated me when I got a call from Kelli.
    “It’s her,” I said.
    “I wouldn’t expect it to be anyone else,” she spat. I yelled at her that she was the one who wanted me to continue dating her, but she yelled back that I said I had to date Kel if I wanted to see her. I answered the phone so I didn’t have to answer Brooke, because she was right.
    “Hello?” I answered, expecting an apology from Kelli.
    “Cody, can we just forget this whole fight?” she asked.
    “Babe, it’s only been half an hour, you miss me already? I miss you too,” I said, starting straight at Brooke to p.iss her off.
    “I didn’t say that…” Kelli said. “I said I want to forget this whole fight. You’re right—I’m too dependent on you and I have to let you be your own person, just like how I have to be my own person.” We kept talking for ten more minutes settling everything out, and the whole time I was pulled over talking to her, Brooke sat there, looking down.
    I cancelled the date I was supposed to have with Kelli tomorrow because I was ‘busy’ a.k.a I wanted to spend time with Brooke. She wasn’t even paying attention to my conversation, but she also never got out of the car. I told her that had to mean something.
    “It meant nothing. I guess you’ll be spending your day alone tomorrow,” she actually got out of the car this time. I turned the car around and drove up next to her, my car going literally one mile per hour. She said she was going to have Jace pick her up, and I knew she picked him because he was an idiot just like me who would do anything for her. Brooke played with people, adjusting and using them like players in a game to benefit herself. Yet I still felt bad for her.
    “Well then I’m staying here until he does. I’m not leaving you alone at night in the middle of the park,” I parked my car across from the bench she sat down on.
    “You better go,” she warned me. “He’s going to see you and then he’ll figure everything out.” Jace would call when he was close, I knew I’d have time to leave.
    “We both know eventually they’ll find out. We can’t expect to keep us a secret forever.”
    “But keeping us a secret for as long as possible would be nice,” she said. I smiled. “So you do still care,” I got out of the car and walked over to her.
    She yelled at me to get back in the car so I sat down on the bench and put my arm around her. She moved the other way so I did too, apologizing, “Brooke please, just hear me out. I’m sorry that I said that to you and I’m sorry that I yelled at you. I want this just as much as you do but you know what we have to do to keep this going. And I just—” I didn’t know what to say. I thought I loved Brooke. She was your favorite movie, your favorite book, your favorite song. The one you swore you were sick of yet you couldn’t stop watching, reading, listening to.
    She kissed me and I didn’t even try to stop her. No matter what I said about Brooke, I was only trying to convince myself I didn’t love her. But I did. I loved her. I loved her. I loved her.
    A car door slammed and Brooke and I both pulled up. Jace stood across the street, staring at me in total shock.
    “Uh-um, Jace, hi,” Brooke tried to break the silence. “Did you..um..” She didn’t even know what to say.
    “Yeah…” he judgingly looked her up and down. “Sorry for interrupting.”

    CHAPTER 36 x x x .
    I picked up Brooke but I was in no mood to hang out. She got into my car and smiled brightly. Every time I was in a bad mood I took it out on people who didn’t deserve it, and I didn’t want that to happen with Brooke right now. I kissed her to make everything seem normal but I couldn’t bring myself to act like everything was okay. I don’t know how Brooke managed to act like everything was always perfect.
    “Cody, what’s wrong?” she said impatiently, sensing my obvious bad mood.
    “Kelli and I are fighting,” I said honestly.
    “About what?”
    “She thinks I’m losing interest in her.”
    “But you’re not—”
    “I am,” I said quickly but had to stop myself before tears fell. “I’m losing interest in her really fast and I can’t cover it up anymore."
    “Cody, but you have to. That’s part of the plan,” she said nervously.
    “How long am I going to have to pretend I like her, Brooke?” I practically yelled at her. I hated that I had to make Brooke think I was pretending to like Kelli, but how could I tell her that I liked both of them?
    “For as long as you want to be with me,” she fought back.
    I didn’t know if I wanted to be with her. Brooke’s brought me as much pain as happiness. She screwed up my perfect relationship, she made me fight with all my friends, and when people find out about her, I’ll never lose my reputation as a player.
    “Unless…you don’t want to be with me,” she said slowly. “Do you?”
    I couldn’t believe she was about to pull this. I just went through this with Kelli—I was not about to do it again. It was rewarding putting Kelli back together. But I think Brooke may be too broken to fix. She wasn’t only broken, but poisonous too. This is why no one could stay with her long. Because she was too much to handle and only brought you down in the process of keeping her up. I don’t know how Kelli’s done this since fourth grade. I took a deep breath, “Brooke—”
    “If you don’t want to keep this up then you don’t have to,” she bit hard on her lip.
    “Don’t try to give me that sh.i.t, you know how much I like you, Brooke. I wouldn’t have lied and cheated on Kelli for over a month now if I didn’t like you. Do you have any idea how hard this is on me?” Brooke had to realize that she’s not the only one with problems.
    “I know it’s hard on you Cody, I never said it wasn’t! But she puts you into a bad mood and then you take it out on me and that’s not fair—”
    "Take it out on you?? Brooke, I treat you so well, don’t try to say I don’t! When you’re crying or having a bad day or need someone to talk to who is always there for you to listen and help? Me. So don’t try to say I take out my bad moods on you when I push them aside to make sure you’re okay!”
    “What about the other half of the time when you’re ignoring me or jumping to conclusions about something you heard without asking me about it first or barely talking to me when we’re together so I end up feeling like I’m annoying you? Yeah you’ve probably treated me the best but you’ve also treated me the worst,” she yelled at me, but the worst part is that I knew what she was saying wasn’t completely untrue.
    “Sorry I get into bad moods because I have two girls f.ucking with my head, both questioning if I actually love them when to be completely honest, I don’t know if I do! Sorry for having some bad days Brooke, but you’ve obviously had yours,” I ran my finger down my jawline, referencing the scar of the line she cut into her own face when she didn’t know how to handle what was going on.
    She burst into tears right then, but not from sadness—from complete anger. “You know what, have fun with Kelli! I don’t care! Kelli’s a f.ucking b.itch who’s only concerned about you and herself, and you’re the biggest d.ick who deserves a selfish b.itch like her. You think you’re so funny to make fun of self-harm, well wasn’t that hilarious? You and Kelli are so f.ucking obsessed with each other that you can’t even begin to sympathize with other people’s feelings because you’re too busy with your own. I hate you, Cody. You realize I could ruin everything between you and your ‘perfect girlfriend,’ right? I don’t even like Kelli, I don’t want her to be my friend anymore! I could tell her you’ve been hooking up with me and you can kiss that relationship goodbye! I could ruin everything!”
    “You already have!”
    Note: sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been so beyond busy!

    Girlfriend's Best Friend
    CHAPTER 34 x x x .
    After hours of talking, finally sorting everything out, and hooking up a little bit, we came up with a plan: I’d get her back into the group, get everyone to like her again, and then we’d act like we hate each other so no one else thought anything was going on between us.
    This worked for a while, and it made Kelli treat both of us better knowing I ‘hated Brooke but knew how good of friends they were' just how she knew Brooke ‘didn’t like me but still supported Kelli and I dating.'
    “I kind of wish we would go back to hanging out just the seven of us like we used to,” I said when Kelli and Brooke walked up to my friends and I in the park one day.
    “Nice to see you too, Cody,” she rolled her crystal blue eyes, only to have them land right back on me.
    “Be nice,” Kelli kissed me. Her entire attitude has changed once she realized how much I actually ‘hated’ Brooke. I wonder if she realized I only ‘hated’ her because Kelli lied to me to make me think she was a huge sl.ut.
    I thought about that a lot actually. Not Kelli lying to me, but Brooke being a sl.ut. When I first met her, that’s all I called her. I tried to even convince my friends she was one. I acted like I hated her, but really I hated that I was so drawn to her when she had no interest in me. Then I thought maybe it was for a reason, that reason being Kel. But now I ended up with both of them. What was the reason for that?
    “How’s the G.F?” Brooke flirted with Mattie.
    “It’s pronounced girlfriend, you aren’t texting, you can’t say G.F,” I said, and Kelli tried not to smile.
    “You know, I can’t just leave if you want,” Brooke threatened.
    “Yes! Go!” I told her, but every single one of my friends begged her to stay.
    Brooke’s ego grew bigger with every beg. I realized that’s why she and I were so compatible—we were c.ocky a.ssholes but the difference was, I acknowledged it.
    Brooke brought up the time that Graham told her to go home, and you could immediately see the embarrassment on his face that he was so mean to her. “How many times do I have to apologize? I was in a bad mood and I thought something that wasn’t true,” he said.
    “What did you think?” Kel asked. I couldn’t tell if she was annoyed or actually curious.
    “It can’t be that important because I don’t even remember,” he lied. “I’m just sorry, okay Brooke?” Brooke flirted by not accepting his apology and he said he’d make it up to her. He put his skateboard out for her to stand on and took her somewhere else.
    If I said it didn’t bother me that every guy loved Brooke, I’d be lying. It made me insecure, and that’s not who I was, and definitely not someone I wanted people to think I was. I knew she had to act that way to feel better about herself. I think the problem was that everyone wanted to be like her, rather than be with her. To have everyone at your fingertips, be incredibly attractive, and all the friends you’d ever need—who wouldn’t want that? But being around that all the time, you get outshined or you don’t know if you could keep up with it. So eventually, you stop hanging around it. I think she knew that, and that’s why she acted how she did.
    She made everyone love her so it was harder to leave her.
    Note: "So lonely inside, so busy out there, and all you wanted was somebody who cared."
