Description
Well, I hope he enjoys it.

I really hope so, because he won't be doing that with my anymore. He betrayed me, my trust..he lied to me. He said he never hurt me or want to see anything bother me. But he broke his promise, my heart, and my trust in him.

There was no stopping what I expected to come next. I wouldn't have even been able to do it if I tried. When I turned to look at him once last time, vision blurred, the two of them had broken apart but she really couldn't seem to take her eyes off of him. A part of me swore that he looked really mad.. But I ran onto my bus, flipped up my hood, and hide my face so no one would see me or what I was doing.

I would skip tomorrow, that's what I was going to do. I just couldn't handle seeing Adam at all. The only thing I'd be able to see when I looked at him was the two of them..together. I'd make up any excuse I could, just so I wouldn't have to face him.

No..

That's just the coward thing to do. Scratch that. I'll go in, avoid him and when I was ready, I'll straight out bring it up and see what he has to say. No doubt in my mind waiting gave me to think up and excuse, but at the moment..asking him would just be too much. I can't face him. That face betrayed me.

As soon as I got home, I muttered my hellos to my parents and then hid in my room. I sat curled up on my bed for what felt like forever, which I later found out was just a little over an hour. An hour, just sitting in silence with my thoughts. And while I was thinking, one song kept coming to mind.

I pulled out my iPod and went onto Facebook from there. I didn't respond to anything, I merely came on to do one thing and that was to post the lyrics so maybe they would get out of my head. The whole song fit, but part in particular seemed to fit best right now. The line I used read: It's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now..

The rest of my day went by in a very long blur, leaving nothing for me to remember about it. It almost felt as if there wasn't anything worth remembering anymore. Maybe that was just my other side coming out, but I couldn't really think of much else description.

The next day came faster than expected and I knew school should be..eventful, to say the least. And I also knew that I'd have a whole nother set of classes with Adam. This whole avoiding thing might be a little harder than I expected. Hopefully I can handle myself today..

I didn't see him come in for breakfast, which I tried to make it not noticable that I was looking for him. But with my luck, at least one of my friends was gonna notice. They didn't always point it out, though. Today, though, I really didn't care if anyone noticed. The one thing I know they probably did notice was my relative quietness. But I tended to have those days.

At least, I used to.

"Are you alright..?" I was asked. I looked to whoever was next to me for the voice. Kyra was looking at me expectantly. Truth be told, I was far from okay, I just had to pretend I was.

Heh. Don't need luck at pretending."Fine..Why do you ask?" I asked her in response. My tone possibly gave me away, but I was pretty sure that she believed me.

"No reason, you just seem really quiet. More than usual.." she trailed. I knew she was concerned, but I just didn't want to bother anyone with what was on my mind. Especially since no one else knew what happened yesterday. At least I thought that no one else knew.

After that, it was time we all started to head to class before we were late. Rayne left for her gym class, early, so she could have enough time to change. Kyra and Chloe walked with me to our first class, and Kyra walked the rest of the way to hers while me and Chloe walked into English. My other friend in the class wasn't here today, which I was mostly happy about. I really wasn't in the mood for talking.

Chloe kept giving me this look, like she was waiting for me to spontaneously break or something. "You saw yesterday, didn't you?" she randomly asked.

I tried to pretend I didn't have a clue what she was asking. "What do you mean?" I asked. Right away, I knew she wasn't gonna buy my playing dumb.

"I think you know. We both do.. Yesterday, after school? What Jaymie did? You saw, I know it, you don't think I can tell?" she whispered. More people were showing up for class.

Usually, she didn't get really mad or have that kind of tone, but now..something was hiding in the way she said that. But she was absolutely right; I saw it all. I said to her, "Yeah..I saw.. But what do you mean by saying 'what Jaymie did'? It was all him, I have eyes." I responded.

It slowly entered my mind that maybe, just maybe, he didn't kiss her first. . .

Chloe was just shaking her head at me. "You caught it at the wrong second. Well, all of it was wrong, but still. I saw it all. She came up behind him, said hi and then practically threw herself at him. I know you saw..that.." she explained.

As I listened, I wanted to deny everything that she said. That she was the one who initiated, that he wasn't willing to do it..but something in my mind was making sense of it, that she would do that. I was somewhat reminded of something she told me..

"Yeah, that I saw. But why would she do that.." I said to myself. I knew that she hated me, but why would she go that far..?

"Are you seriously saying that you don't remember?" She asked, like I had no clue, "Remember, she told me she would do anything to split you two up? I came out all freaked out afterwards.." she continued.

A lightbulb moment sparked in my head.

Suddenly it all made sense to me. I couldn't believe that I'd forgotten that. It made so much more sense at that moment that I'd forget about that, but to not remember at all? Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to assume that it was all him..

For the rest of the class, once it started, I kept quiet and thought about just what I would say to Adam when I saw him. Maybe he didn't mean to do it, maybe this was her plan all along. Maybe I was just loosing my mind! That seemed like the most sensible thing at the moment. My mind was on the very of loosing all sense, including my common sense.

All throughout lunch, I was trying to get my nerve ready for what I would be saying to Adam in the class we have together next block. Instead of eating lunch with my friends, I got a pass to spend the entire period in the media center. Peace and quiet gave me more room to think. And I wasn't trying to avoid anyone.

This was something I had to do on my own.

As soon as the bell rang, I went out the back door so I was only around the corner from my next class. I didn't run and came to find that Adam was waiting for me. He was the one who had to run just to make it same time as me, let alone beat me to class. I don't wanna know what he told his friends to get away that fast.

"I need to say something to you." Adam broke the silence, walking the rest of the way to me. "Funny, because I was going to say the same to you." I told him. He seemed to have this guilty look about him, yet he was trying to hide it. "Oh? Well, you go first then." he told me.

Wow, looks like I'm having to the brave one here. I took a deep breath and tried to remember what I told myself to say.

"Look..I tried to prepare myself for this, so if I start doing anything like crying or whatnot, you'll know why." I told him, trying to calm my nerves, "So I guess I wanted to say.. I did see what happened with you and Jaymie yesterday. And I wasn't too happy." I continued, my voice starting to crack.

Great, now he'd know for sure he'd have to prepare for the waterworks.

His face turned to resemble empathy/sympathy, one of the two, after I spoke. "That's what I was gonna talk to you about. See, she totally came onto me and--" I cut him off by holding up my hand. "Let me finish." I told him. He kept his mouth shut and let me continue.

"I saw, and had no doubt that you did it first." His eyes got big. "But someone made me start to think. And now I realize. You don't have to explain..she already hated me, so I then knew it was only a matter of time before something happened. I just didn't know she would..go that far.."

I felt myself unable to finish my sentence. Now I knew that I had to be crying. The memory was one that was able to do that to you.

By the look on his face, I had to be. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into an empty classroom. Suddenly I was having a deja vu moment when he jumped and hid us when a teacher passed by. As soon as the teacher was gone, I looked at him above me. There was a grin on his face; he was no doubt remembering the same thing I was.

The first time we kissed..when he asked me to be his girlfriend.. It was hard for either of us to forget. He slowly backed up off of me and helped me up. When I was up, I didn't let go of his hand, and he didn't let go of mine either.

I looked up at him and just couldn't stop myself from smiling. Looking at him, remembering the first time we had been alone together. It was a very good day.. And it happened in a situation not much different than this one right now.

Well..I loved him..we loved each other, that much I was sure of. Sure, things would get very difficult at times, but the two of us were strong enough to get through it together. Together..hopefully we would stay that way, for a long time. Hell, we'd already agreed that even if we did happen to start seeing other people, we would never forget each other.

He was someone worth remembering, he always would be in my eyes.
