Chapter 1
I was on my bed scrolling through different instagrams posts until my sister walked into my room and stared at me with this death glare of somesort. “So how was hanging out with Hunter last night?” Kaitlyn asked me, she wouldn’t take her eyes off me watching my body language. I put my phone down and looked at her dead in the eyes. “Don’t you have someone else you need to talk to. It’s your fault y’all aren’t together anymore. You’re the one who cheated on him. So don’t take this out on me. I tried supporting you both, and look what happened. You accused him of cheating when you’re the one who cheated.” “At least I’m not the one who got with him after we broke up. We weren’t even done after a week and you spent the night at his house for weeks on end, fucking him.” She glared at me with this stare that I have never seen before. She grabbed a journal from my desk and opened it, it was the one I didn’t want her to read. Kaitlyn then threw it at me with disgust and slammed my door shut while I heard her yell for our mom who was at work trying to provide for us.
Flashback
Dad had left us when mom had Kaitlyn. She looked nothing like dad, so mom tries to do everything for us, but blames Kaitlyn for dad leaving her. My sister liked my best friend for years and years, and they had finally gotten together and were so in love until she caught me hanging out with him. She thought he was cheating on her with me so she left him and doesn’t speak to either of us unless she has to. I’m a senior in high school and so is Hunter but we don’t mind hanging out with Kaitlyn who is a freshman. We all have been super close with each other but now that she doesn’t want to talk to us anymore, Hunter and I have stopped talking to each other. He had moved to a different school and had never texted me since then.
End of Flashback
I got off my bed and went downstairs to see where my sister was going. Turns out, I made the wrong mistake, I should have just stayed upstairs or left through my window. But no, I had to face the fact that Hunter was sitting in our kitchen talking to my mom who got off work early. I stood there dumbfounded because I saw my sister sitting next to him kissing his cheek. I don’t remember him being so built, but that wasn’t the point but I wanted to know what he was doing here.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I accidentally said out loud. All three of them looked at me and my mother was the first to speak. “Sadie, there is no way to speak to Hunter that way. He’s moved back in town and now attends the same school that you and your sister attend. Besides, try to be good please, your sister and him are dating again, so don’t go around and fuck him like you did before.” I was too stunned to speak, I grabbed my bag, put on some converse shoes, then walked out the door. I rode my bike down to the river and sat there with headphones on listening to music. Mom was right, I shouldn’t have done what I did, but it was all over now and I was hoping they would forget about all of it. He shouldn’t have come back, but he will soon learn about the new me. You see, I’m a cold hearted bitch, I learned to shut off my emotions and push everyone away from me when I didn’t want them. I go out to parties and get drunk and do shit that I shouldn’t do, but after everything it felt right. I was so deep in thought that I didn’t even hear Hunter sit next to me and say hi.
Next thing I know, my hand strikes the side of his cheek since he had taken a picture of me with his camera. “Don’t you know it’s rude to take a picture of someone without them knowing?” I asked while trying to get away from him. “Yeah I know that, but I didn’t think you would mind since after all these years I’ve been studying photography,” he replied while putting his camera back into his bag. “Don’t act like you don’t like me anymore, I can see it on your face that you’re relieved to see me again. I’m sorry that I haven’t texted you, I just needed time to think because we were just fuck buddies and I wanted to be more then that. That’s what Kate and I are at the moment because she said you were taken.”
I had stopped dead in my tracks and turned to face him, “so you are going to believe my sister who lied about you cheating on her, while you two are being fuck buddies because she said I was taken! HOW DARE YOU COME BACK INTO MY LIFE AND BELIEVE HER OVER EVERYTHING ELSE! If that’s how it’s going to be then I need you to stay away from me and don’t even bother to talk to me about anything. I’m sure my sister will be willing to hear everything.” And with that I walked back to my house, slammed the door to my room shut and laid on my bed to process what just happened. I kept fighting with the voices in my head.
Come on, Sadie! You still like him
No I don’t, stop bugging me
Sadie, i’m your conscious I will always bother you, talk to him again and see how it goes
I told him I won’t talk to him and he won’t talk to me anymore, he doesn’t even like me
Then seduce him and become more then just friends, it’s a great idea
Don’t even go there again, I did that once but I won’t let it happen again
Liar
