Chapter 05

I feel lost and after that night I haven’t been the same. I was going to tell mom because this is getting out of hand and dad is playing around like this is nothing, I don’t even see guilt in him as he kiss mom when he gets home from work nor telling her how he loves her while cheating on her.

Everything is just messed up and I have lost my best friend, the one I should be talking to about this issue and telling me that everything is going to be fine and that I’m just overthinking things… the person who should be on my side is sitting across with Leah laughing as they have their lunch.

I have my girl friends with me but it’s different when I’m with him especially now that they decided to eat out while I’m not in the mood so I’m eating alone.

“Don’t look at them like that, they’re going to melt.” I raised my head and saw Harvey, he sat across me and smirk. “Just so you know, you look pathetic right now.”

“I hate you.”

“Someone need say that, you don’t want to be pathetic forever.”

“Aren’t you here because you’re hitting on me? You’re a playboy and maybe I’m a challenge for you… because you know you can’t get me, so you try to be my friend.”

He smirk upon shaking his head. “I just thought that Ezra’s dumb in leaving you on the side. I just want to be friends… it’s not like you have any… and the same goes for me.”

“So we’re two pathetic friends now?” He laugh at that and I can’t help but smile upon rolling my eyes. “Fine, we’re friends but don’t even think of hitting on me… because it’s not going to work.”

It is really true that when you lose a friend another will come. I’m not saying that I totally lost Ezra, he just has someone else as a priority now and I would be dumb and pathetic if I stay like this for long… good thing Harvey came, we now go everywhere together and he’s a great company, he makes me forget about my problems and he makes me laugh.

Ezra on the other hand hates the idea that I’m spending time with him but he doesn’t have a choice, also because he’s not really doing anything because he’s tied with Leah… fine by me.

“Good thing you decided to stay away with my fiance, you’re getting in the way and you’re annoying.” I was in the bathroom washing my hand when Leah entered and said those words, it made me smirk… she’s a bitch. “You should keep that up. Spend time with that playboy and stay away with Ezra.”

I smirk at her. “I hope Ezra is here to witness this. You’re a bitch and you’re hiding that identity of yours. Sooner or later he will find out and he’s going to be merciless and leave you… he has time, we’re still young and you are not to marry until we graduate college.”

His nose flame and grab me by the hair but I pulled it away and push her away from me she tremble and before she could hurt me more I left the bathroom feelings angry.

Every step towards Ezra was heavy and I can feel my tears falling that I immediately wipe away. Good thing he was in the garden of the school where it doesn’t have many people. He’s brows creased upon seeing me.

“What happen? I told you to stay away from that guy! I’m going to kill him.” He was about to leave when I stopped him and I shake my head.

“I miss my best friend. I just had a fight with Leah and I hate that she has ou tied on leash. This isn’t like you and I know you love her but you also forgot about your best friend. So much is happening in my life and you don’t even know any of them because you’re so busy with her.”

“What are you talking about? What did you do to Leah?” That made me close my eyes tight and brush my hair up feelings frustrated.

“I didn’t hurt her.” I said in a whisper. “Ez… our parents are having an affair. I want to tell you that, I can’t carry this burden to myself… I need you.”

“What are you talking about? Are you just making things up so I could stay away from Leah and be back to you? We’re friends and she’s my lover… I’m sure you know that there are boundaries in that. We’ve know each other forever but that doesn’t mean I’ll always be here by your side.” I scoff and shake my head, feeling disappointed. “And our parents would never do that. I trust them and you should do the same.”

I was about to tell him that I have the evidence and his mom is pregnant but Leah arrive crying as she run to Ezra and again… I’m forgotten as he hugged her… and calm her down, and I didn’t have much choice and walk away wiping my own tears.

I didn’t know where I was going but I bump into Harvey out of nowhere and he put his arms around my shoulder and guided me towards somewhere.

“You’re not alone.” He whispered as I cry myself inside his car. He handed me his handkerchief and I wipe my tears feeling embarrassed now.

“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.”

He shake his head. “It’s okay, we’re friends.” that made me emotional… friends, that means so much to me right now. I smile and I want to cry more but he pouted at me that made me roll my eyes friends.

“I hate you… but t-thank you for being here, it means the world to me.” I feel so grateful despite earlier, he didn’t asked anything and he’s just hear, letting me let out my feelings and comforting me… How I wish it’s him that I fell into but my heart beats for someone else.
