It never ends

“I don’t know what happened or what I could’ve done, I thought we had something” scarlett words were barely understandable through her sobs.

“How’d you find out?” I blurted out. She seemed so happy last time I saw her and I know austin didn’t confess. He’d be upset and sad not angry.

Scarlett wiped more tears with the back of her hands.

“It was celeste who told me, she said something about him and Katherine” I was listening, from the couple days that I’ve known celeste she never struck me as nice or compassionate, but maybe she’s just like that with me. But why does she hate me?

“Did you just believe her or you saw it or…”I drifted off, all I wanted was my schedule, I have it, now I just need to leave but I am curious. I wonder how olivers doing, if he want to go, I wonder if their still even talking about this.

“ I trust her, she’s my best friend, and yes, I saw them in the gym” I didn’t know what exactly to say. I never had to deal with a friend with a heartbreak, or anyone with a heartbreak for that matter.

“I Just don’t get it. Why? I was the perfect girlfriend” Scarlett buried her face in her hands. I felt awkward, do I comfort her, this would be the perfect time to leave, but that would be terrible, I would be a terrible friend if I did that. I figured the well being of my friend was more important than my schedule.

I got up and wrapped my arms around scarlett, she was warm. We stood there for a while until scarlett said she was getting a headache. She said she had some advil in the cabinet above the sink. I let her lay on her bed and I quietly exited the room.

I walked out into the hallway and expected austin and oliver to be talking. I was a bit nervous to go into the living room but the feeling quickly went away when I saw it was just oliver sprawled across the couch about to go to sleep. I walked quietly into the kitchen and reached for the cabinet above the sink. I guess I didn’t close it because it slammed and from the corner of my eye I saw oliver jump. I got a glass of water and filled it with water when I felt a presence next to me, I knew who it was.

“I told you we shouldn’t have gone in” he said.

“Yea, but I do feel bad, scarlett really did like austin, I don’t know about the other way around, but I mean I do always say love is mutual”

“What’s that mean” oliver asked leaning against counter. I knew he knows what it means but I’m guessing he just wants to hear my take on it.

“Well if you love someone, if it’s truly meant to be it’s mutual, but if someone messes up that means it wasn’t , which means there’s someone else out there”

I realized then it was oliver who was staring at me.

“Now if you don’t mind, I have to get these to scarlett and then we can leave” Oliver nodded .

Scarlett was already sleep when I walked in the room, I tip toed to the nightstand and placed them on her side. I steadily walked out closing my way out. The air was noticeably thinner.

“Cmon” oliver said. I began walking and a sudden thought ran through my head. Oliver was closing the front door.

“Hey oliver, can I ask you something?”

“sure” I was walking quite fast to keep up with olivers long strides.

“did you know about austin?” Oliver stopped in his tracks and looked at me.
“no” he simply said. “why would you think that” he sounded offended, he probably was. I suddenly felt bad. I mean, even if he did, I couldn’t think anything bad because I knew. I knew about austin and I didn’t say anything. God, I’m a terrible friend.

“nothing, I just figured since you and austin are friends as all”

“Well I didn’t”, he immediately turned around walked away. Oh, well sorry. I thought to myself.

We made it to olivers car . It was dark outside and when oliver started his car the lights flashed on and illuminated the inside. It was 10:56. Wow time flies fast.

The ride wasn’t long, There wasn’t even enough time to think things through. I had one more day until classes start.

All that was in my mind was that what if scarlett asks me to quit volleyball because Katherine’s the captain. Would I do it. No, I wouldn’t. I’m sorry but it’s not my fault, I’m not going quit something I like to do just because of something like that. I’m sorry but that’s the way I feel about it. I don’t know where to go from here. Practice starts Monday, after classes. I’m pretty sure Katherine knows I know, she knows I know scarlett. I just want to know why? Why would you ruin a relationship like that just for a quick pleasure. I’m hoping they don’t ask me to choose. Who would I choose? My family always told me academics, education before friends. Maybe that’s why I barely had any in primary school.

Maybe I’m thinking too much into this. Maybe this will all blow over in a week and everything will be back to normal, well alright. Everything will be alright and less tense.

All I need to do is sleep and steer clear of scarlett and Katherine tomorrow.
