around and stalks up to me. I will admit that I pull back, wishing I’d played it cool. He’s seriously pissed.
“Don’t you dare! Don’t ever put that shit on her, man! Jake is her best friend. Yes, she loves him but she loves you too. She was with you, Key. She never cheated on you. You’re just letting that bitch Sarah screw with you like she always has when it comes to my sister. I won’t let you, not this time, I’ll push her to Jake and you will lose the best thing that every happened to you in your pathetic little life.”
He takes a deep breath, letting out the anger. “But to answer your questions: you were together and, yes, when you weren’t around she’d sleep with Jake. However, it wasn’t sexual and you knew that. It was because of her nightmares from Dillon and the fear she had over it. He tried to kill her on a few occasions. Not to mention watching Michael, her boyfriend, die. So, pardon me that my sister’s a little screwed up from all the shit that’s happened to her. But what the hell is your excuse then?”
I’m furious she’s been in Jake’s bed and we were together.
“Well, Jake and her better not be doing that anymore.” I see the anger return to his eyes but my anger won’t allow me to calm down.
“Guess the Keegan we all know is still in there somewhere because of what just happened with Sarah. Well, that’s exactly what he did when he was insecure about her loving him too.”
“Time to pick, once and for all, Key. Is it Becca or is it Sarah? I sure as hell don’t see what choice it really is, but with everything that’s happened, I sympathize with you. I wouldn’t know what to do but, man, you can’t keep them both.” I nod because I know he’s right. I just wish I could remember everything so I could make the right choice. I guess that would just be too easy.
“She needs to make one too. She can’t have both of us. I won’t rush her because Jake’s sick, but she has to make a choice.”
He looks at me somberly and nods. “Don’t I know it. Now get your head outta your ass and stop screwing around with this Sarah shit. If you want Becca, or even want the possibility of having Becca, then Sarah has to go. Sarah’s had it out for Becca from day one. If you choose to see Sarah, that is your choice. I will understand. However, I can’t have you living with me. Becca needs to feel safe and I’m going to talk her into moving back in with me.”
“I think I’m in love with Sarah though. I just can’t explain it.”
Alec just shakes his head and looks at the floor. “Then I guess I will start packing you stuff. I’ll talk to the dorms and see if we can get you in there for the rest of the semester.”
I shake my head. “No, no dorms. I just want a small apartment of my own.”
He nods and says he will bring me some ads. “I hope you don’t ever remember, man. If you did, you’d hate the choice you just made.” With that, he turns on his heels and walks out the room.
“I think I love Bec too, though.” I know he didn’t hear me but I said it anyways. I just wish I could remember her. What if I’m making the mistake he thinks I am? Or what if I choose her and I’m not remembering that even with Bec, I still loved Sarah. Either way, I’m screwed. Isn’t that just great shit!
Chapter Four
Becca
Keegan and Sarah. I can’t continue to compete with her. She wants Keegan and clearly he wants her. I won’t stand in the way anymore. I will be his friend but I won’t fight to keep what doesn’t seem to be mine. First, he did stunts like this even before we got together. Then, during my first time, he says her name. Come on, Becca! How much more do you need to realize it’s over between you two. I ran, I’d admit to it. I couldn’t watch that, not again. I’m tired of fighting Sarah. But I will still be one of Keegan’s best friends if he will have me, no matter the heartache it costs. Right now he needs friends that
