The words " You are the one" were like a slap to my face. He used me, then toss me aside for her. It was her, he expressed. I was about to enter Jo's room when I heard the exchange. My tear ducts betrayed me a pool of tears began trickling down my face. I wanted to pound that door open and slap both of them. I was angry at Jo for being a backstabber. Didn't she say that me and Danny could be together and that she had no qualms about it. I was even angrier at Danny because he made me fell for him and so I did. How will erase him and the effect he has on me in my life? It was just a week ago where he said he missed me? That we could work together to build our life again. " I need to gain composure, I mentally scolded myself. I will not allow him to take what little joy I have left and turn it into sorrow. Though I wanted to be over him, my curiousity was killing me, I needed to know what was happening behind the pink painted door. Was he reassuring her with a kiss? A kiss that would seal the deal.

I entreated from Jo's door and without delay I went to my car to vent. I was so upset with myself, even more than with Danny. Why did I ever leave Archie for him, Why did I ever neglected my friends for him, Why?. I sob harshly in my car. It was my fault, I practically pushed them together when I assured him that he probably has feelings for her. No doubt that he is now acting on them. I cried even louder when I thought that as he touch me, he only wanted me. He practically compelled me to act on the feelings we both shared. If Jo was always the one, why did he pursue me? If she was the one, why didn't he know that from the start?

Is the universe telling me that his kisses on my lips, neck and cheek and the scorched touches on my back were all a fallacy? That when he said he thinks about the kiss all day, everyday was all a lie? I hate him, I hate him for causing me so much pain. Is he even human to be jumping between friends. So was his ultimate goal from Juvie to be romantically involved with both his best friends. Had I known, if the universe had ever summoned a clue, I would not have been in this predicament. I would have been much happier. Though Archie turned out to be less than favorable, he wouldn't have ever done that to me!

I returned home drunk with fatigue. Thinking about the events that just occurred not only physically made me weak but mentally. " Mummy". I uttered. " Are you home?" "Yes, baby momma's here". I'm outside in the garden, I'll be inside in a sec. I heard the footsteps of the woman who gave birth to me, She say my saddened eyes, she ask "What's wrong?" Mom it's kind of embarrassing but I'll tell, I tell you why I hurt. " Mom a question first " What do you think is worst keeping a romantic relationship from a someone who wasn't your friend or a someone backstabbing you by concocting a relationship with the boy you were with soon after a breakup? Judith Porter, let out a deep sigh. "Honey, I think the latter. " What's going on?" mummy asked. I retold her the events that occurred just before I got home from that house. I will never return there and never will I rekindle those friendships. My mom offered me sound words, words that were wise and would help me blocking them out.

I, Lacey Porter am beautiful. I can make new friends in no time. I headed up to my room and shouted Clara before I entered. "Good night sis" she bellowed. Sleep was stripped away from me as I tossed and turned on the bed. He was still on my mind, dammit! Can't someone waved a magic wand all cease all the heartache, pain and frustration? Sleep decided to pay a visit in the wee hours of the morning and I entered a blissful abyss.

"Your worth the risk" I said then he eagerly pressed his lips to mine. His lips were so soft and sweet. He pulled me even closer to him and began to caress my back. No sooner were my clothes a puddle on the floor and my naked caramel body pushed against the naked wall. Our bodies connected and moans and groans filled the air. He began subtly kiss my neck and all other body parts that screamed for his touch. God he was good at this, sometimes I failed to believe he had no prior experience. This boy knew what he was doing. " Ugh" I jumped from my bed. I inhaled and exhaled deeply. I whispered softly, "I need to get over him".

I was never one to skip school because of personal problem that seemed to encapsulate my every being. I left that title for Jo. Jo was always a victim and probably made Danny feel as though he owed her something and thus he is caught up in the idea that he is now in love with her. I entered the gates of Green Grove High prouder than ever. No one would make this day, go bad for me. The outfit I was wearing complemented my mood. The peach peplum blouse hugged my upper body causing a little cleavage to show and the pale blue acid wash jeans I was wearing seemed like it was made to fit each of my curves.

"Ms. Porter", my English teacher called me. I need to talk to you about a concern I have. It's important. Meet me in the staffroom in five minutes. I will notify Mrs. Fisk, your Psychology teacher about your tardiness to the class. I quickly placed my things in the locker and turned to meet with , not too far from me stood the now golden couple of Green Grove.
