you.”
    “ I’m telling your parents
tonight Haley. And Sarah, your ass is in deep shit.” I storm off
toward Brady and Brooke where they’re standing there,
expressionless. I hear Haley yelling “Please don’t tell my
parents!” I don’t really plan on telling them, at least not today.
But she doesn’t have to know that. I approach them but keep walking
and Brady speed walks to catch up. “Abby, wait! Slow down.” I stop
in my tracks and look at him, irritation on my face. “Look, calm
down. This stuff happens. Let her get in trouble, maybe she’ll
learn.” I doubt it.
    “ This isn’t about her as
much as it’s about my mother. She’s acting like a spoiled shit
Brady. So no I won’t calm down. I won’t let her put my mother
through this bull shit.” Ever since my father left us, Sarah has
been rebelling and getting in more trouble at school and it puts
more stress on my mother than she needs.
    Suddenly, I realize that since she mentioned
Lucas I have been more irritated with her. Maybe I’m more mad at
myself and these feelings I keep harboring for him and lash it out
on Sarah because it’s easier to do than to face the truth. But
what’s the truth anymore? I wanted to go to New York after high
school and pursue my dream. But Brady really ruined it for me. I
don’t know what I want anymore. Then I spot him. Oh he’s so
gorgeous. It feels like it’s been months since I last saw him, even
though it was only a few days. I see him at a distance with some
girl but I can’t see who it is. I turn to Brady and Brooke. “You
guys go on ahead. I’ll catch up with you later.” Brady gives me a
hug and kiss and takes off, without a question. Thank God. “Hey.”
Brooke grabs my arm and I turn around. She’s got a quizzical
expression on her face. She knows what I’m up to. Or she thinks she
knows. “Be careful.”
    “ I’m not telling him
anything, don’t worry.” Then I take off running. He’s got his arm
around the mystery girl and I can only imagine what kind of girl
would be lucky enough to have his arm around them. What a lucky
girl. Stop it Abby, you’re taken. I tell myself. As I get closer, I see him kiss
her. I’m assuming this girl is his new girlfriend. Wow, we’ve got
some catching up to do. Maybe we can be friends and do some
bonding. A tint of jealousy hits me, followed by nausea when I see
them part ways and realize its Sarah.
     

Chapter 4
     
     
    He kissed Sarah. Oh my God. I feel sick. I’m
standing only a few feet from them. “Oh, hey sis. I was just
leaving. I will see you later Luc.” She gives Lucas another kiss
and walks off, a wicked grin plastered on her stupid face. He turns
around and sees me. “Hey Abby.” He’s not smiling. In fact, he looks
a little worried.
    I feel like running away.
“I gotta go.” I take off the other direction and hear him yell my
name but I don’t stop. I just keep running into the school. I weave
in and out of people, not caring that tears are splashing my face.
I reach the bathroom and luckily it’s empty. I walk into a stall
and close the door and loose it. This is
not happening She doesn’t deserve him.
“Abby?” I hear Brooke’s voice. Dammit. I don’t want to see anyone
right now. I don’t answer. The problem is, I know she saw me
running in here. “Abby, I know you’re in here. Open up.” Without a
word, I open the door and she walks in. “Abby, what happened?” I
grab some toilet paper and wipe my eyes. I look down at my hands.
“I saw Lucas. Kissing Sarah. They’re together.” Brooke’s eyes go
wide. “Oh my God, are you serious? Did he say anything when he saw
you?”
    “ No he just said hey. But
he looked scared. But I told him I had to go and took off running
before I did something stupid. I feel sick Brooke. I knew this
would happen. I didn’t have time to warn him of her plans.” I hold
my stomach and lean over like I’m gonna puke. She rubs my back and
sighs. “Jesus Abby I’m so sorry. If I
