I walked into the music store to get new strings for my guitar. I saw a new cashier at the register when I walked up with the strings in hand. “Hey, uh where's Oliver?” I questioned and he just looked at me and smiled “He got transferred to a different department I’m sorry, I’m Darren though” I nodded and put the strings on the counter and pulled out my phone “You seem cool put your number in so we can hang later” He nodded and laughed “Ight man” and he typed his number into my phone and handed it back to me. “Thanks man you seem like you skateboard” He nodded at me “Yeah how could you tell?” “I skate too so I can just tell” He raised an eyebrow and I paid him and walked out. As I was walking to my car i bumped into someone “Watch it incompetent jackass” She said “Shut the fuck up” I turned around to be face to face with Grace. “What are you doing here?” I asked, “Running away from that.” she pointed to a figure who was quickly approaching us “Who is that?” She looked at me and grabbed my arm dragging me with her while she fast walked. “My ex, micheal, he’s batshit fucking crazy, and his new girl stares at me like I did something wrong.” I nodded and quickly wrapped my arms around her shoulders. I wasn’t a big man by any means but I could be scary if need be. He walked up and grabbed arm and tried to swing her around “Excuse the hell out of me.” I turned around to be face to face, well I had to look down. The man was like 5 '5. “Why are you touching her, does she belong to you? No, I don’t think so, if you would kindly remove your fucking hands from my fiance” I pulled her away from him and continued walking.
“What the hell was that” she asked and I shrugged walking away.

I was sitting at home on the couch when I received a message from blake
Blakley: Your not girlfriend has a batshit crazy ex right up your alley
Me: What do you mean?79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzD4K3l1yc
He began to explain that he had pretended to be her fiance in order to get some guy off her back and make sure he would leave her alone. I was so confused I'd ask her about it later, or maybe I won't because she's not my actual girlfriend and I don’t want to be too intrusive. She's so sweet though and always doodling in her notebooks, and listening to music. I don’t think i’ve ever seen her without her earbuds, she always has them in and it’s adorable. God I just wish she would let me in.
She doesn’t let anybody in, except scarlett. I envy Scarlett so much on occasion, I mean they’re so close and always together. Anytime I’ve seen Grace cry, Scarlett has been right there holding her. One time at a football game both of them were in the stands laying on each other. They looked so sweet together, I wish I could be a part of them. Blake fucked that up for me, I wish he would’ve just kept his actually thats his story to tell. I just ugh he ruins everything, my 14th birthday dumbass broke his fucking arm jumping into the pool. Now the love of my life I can’t even talk to without her yelling at me and calling me names. I do have her number maybe I’ll try to text her

Me: Hey
Grace: what
Me: Blake told me what happened, you good?
Grace: I guess
Me: Did he at least deck the asshole in the face for messing with you, cutie?
Grace: I don’t know and don’t call me that
Me: why not, cutie?
Grace: stop
Me: what have I done to make you hate me ffs
Grace: i never said i hate you
Me: Then why the hell do you act so fucking rigid towards me grace
Grace: nothing personal
Me: Grace I really like you and you acting like this actually hurts me, I wanna take you out and get to know you and do stupid little couple things.
Grace:......
Me: Grace come on, I want to know what makes you tick. I want to know what you like and what you don’t. I want to know why you shut people out. I want to know why you and Scarlett are so frigging close. I want to be the one you laugh,cry and scream with.
I put my phone down and walked off I figured she would answer when she was ready. I stepped into the hallway from my room, and went down the hallway. “Blakley” I knocked on the door before opening it to a still sober Blake sitting on the floor. “Yes, nathan?” He questioned me, as I sat down next to him. “I told her”

I laid down on his lap “She ignored me, I told her and she ignored me” I was looking up at his face, i focused on his almost see-through green eyes. “Nathan, give her time, she needs time she needs to process it” he ran his fingers through my hair like he would when we were little and mom and dad were fighting. I missed this a lot. I love him, he’s a decent older sibling as far as they go. “Blake, what happened between you and Scarlett? I’ve heard it from other people but I want to hear it from you.”
“Nathan, I was stupid, don’t follow my steps here. But I started smoking, and I started to ignore her and cancel plans on her. Eventually I started hanging out with this girl and lets just say I was thinking with my dick and not what I should’ve been. I fucked up buddy don’t do that.” He ran his finger through my hair again and smiled. “I missed hanging out with you like this, nate”
“I did too, we should have come aparts more often” I laughed and started to sit up to face him. He looked at me, “I miss mom” he said and wrapped his arms around me “I want my mom so badly, she’d know how I could make it up to Scarlett and fix it. After she looked at me and tell me I was a fucking idiot” I could feel him take a deep breath like he was about to cry. I had never seen him cry, he was always so strong for me. He never once cried just to make sure I had someone who was stable and could protect me.
“What?” I asked after Grace told me what had happened. “He did what now? You gotta be kidding me. Blakely Reid Fischer was going to protect you!” I couldn’t tell if I was livid or happy that he would do that for her when I wasn’t around. I wanted to text him and say thank you but I didn’t want to look at the old messages he had sent or that I had sent for that matter. But I did anyway.Plus I wanted to question him about his brother confessing his love to my best friend. 79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmfMAbm8pU

Me: Hey, dumbfuck, thank you for protecting grace from micheal it means a lot to me that you did that. Also NATHAN LIKES GRACE TF
Dumbfuck: What are you talking about letti
Me: Why did you call me letti? How high are you?
Dumbfuck: Sober, stone cold, have been since you left. But yeah he does and your friend ripped out his heart and stomped on it by the way he came in here and broke down.
Me: She didn’t know how to process it jackass, she’ll answer when she’s good and damn ready.
I slammed my phone down on my bedside table. I should have never done that. It just pissed me off, I hated talking to him anymore it always ended like this, him calling me that stupid nickname and then telling me he loved me before getting off the phone. I got a notification as I was thinking about it
Blake has posted on his story
Dammit why did I still have his story notifications on. I clicked the notification to see a picture of him sitting against his bed with his brother laying asleep in his lap, with the caption “What do we do when we hurt someone we love”

I knew who he was talking about but why now. Why is he so stuck on me? Hell why am I stuck on him, I should hate him, why don’t I hate him? I need to hate him. He chose some girl over his best friend that he grew up with. I was there when his mom died, and where was she? nowhere to be found. It was stupid but I was in love with him and I knew it, he knew it. I had told him so many times. Maybe the weed clouded his brain, maybe it was like that maybe if I told him while he was sober he’d actually listen.
Me: Blakely, I am still in love with you but you’ve hurt me so badly I don’t know if I can forgive you. I’d love to forgive you and be friends like we used to be. But I don’t know if it’ll ever be the same, it may never be the same ever again. But I don’t want to cut you out of my life, you were and always will be my first love. I dedicated my life to you, we spent every-fucking-day together you damn idiot, why did you have to go and fuck it up. I’m giving you one last chance you fuck it up again and I’m done completely. I never want to see you again if you fuck up.
I turned my phone off so I couldn’t see if he answered or not. I didn’t want to know if and when he did answer. I started to change and get ready for bed, I had school in the morning and had to be up early so I’d go to bed now and get up and check in the morning. I knew grace would be messaging me constantly because I wasn’t answering but i’d fill her in later when she picked me up for school. 79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOpjIiBJHU
