Betrayed.
Chapter 1
I jumped off the plane in excitement searching for the love of my life Brett. We had been dating for 3 years when I decided to take a trip to Africa and help with some missionary things. I said it was for the best and he agreed. First let’s start with the basics. My name is Savannah and I am 19 years old. I live in San Diego and I love life. It is obviously the best thing that has ever happened to me. I scanned the crowd ready to jump into Brett’s arms. The only problem was that he wasn’t there. Where was he? I wondered. Maybe he was in the bathroom. I called to make sure he was there and he picked up on the first ring.
“Hello?”
“Hey Brett!”
“Who’s this?”
“Uh your girlfriend? Ya know the one you’ve been dating for 3 years?”
“Oh! Hey babe! How are you?”
“Well I’d be better if you were at the airport waiting to pick me up.”
“OH CRAP! I am so sorry I completely forgot!” “It’s okay, I’ll take the bus. See you at your house in about an hour!”
“Okay babe. Bye…You need to leave Betha…” Click. Those last 4 and ½ words made my heart start pounding. Did he just say Bethany? Oh no I could not be thinking like that. Bethany was my worst enemy. She made me cry in 8th grade when my mom passed away from cancer. She told me to get over it and the reason she died was because of me. I beat her up and smashed her face into a table and I was the one who got suspended. I picked up my bags and got on the bus just as it was leaving. There were two seats left. One next to an 80 some year old man drooling and another next to a cute looking guy. I chose the cute one. I sat down and he looked up from the book he was reading. He said,
“Hey, I’m Chance. What’s your name?” “Savannah.” I stuttered. I was not in the mood to talk.
“Oh. Well I’m gonna get back to reading now. Nice to meet you.”
“Mhm.”
I stared out the window. Yes, Chance was nice enough to let me have the window seat. I felt bad for being so mean but so many things were running through my head. I had to find out what Brett had said. I am sure it was You need to leave Bethany but I wasn’t just going to freak out on him about it…YET. I got home and hopped in the shower. I was off to Brett’s as soon as I was finished. I said hey to my dad and my stepmom and walked out the door. My dad wasn’t home most of the time and when he was all he focused on was Michelle, my stepmom. He acted like the death of my real mom didn’t bother him. It bothered me so much I cried myself to sleep each night. I practically ran to Brett’s house. I had to see him and straighten things out. I rang the doorbell and his mom answered.
“Hey Mrs. Roberts!”
“Oh hey hun! I am so glad to see you! It was such a disappointment that you and Brett had to break up before you left. I’m sure you will get back together now that you’re back.”
We what?! I thought to myself. I never agreed on this arrangement. I decided to play along with her.
“Yeah it was. We will surely be getting back together.”
I ran up to Brett’s room as fast as my legs would take me. I knocked on the door and walked in. Brett was sitting at his computer on AIM chat. He closed the window as soon as I walked in.
“Hey Baby! I missed you.”
“Oh yeah. I missed you too!”
“I am so glad you are home. We have so much to discuss.”
“Yes, yes we do.”
“What’s wrong? You seem upset.”
“No, just a little confused.”
“Why babe?”
“Well, it’s about Bethany…”
His face went blank and he told me I needed to leave. Something was definitely up.
