I looked around and Tess was standing with her arms folded and an icy glare stamped on her face.
"Looks like you're a triple thread; singer, actor and boyfriend stealer. Gawd you're talented Michie!"
I felt her icy gaze burn holes in me, "Tess, I've no idea what you're talking about."
"Quit playing dumb Michie! You and Shane! I seen everything, you guys in the reception area, the way you's were carrying on at dinner, not to mention the tension between you's since I got here." She was now yelling.
I stood there saying nothing, I wasn't going to lie to her but how can you tell someone that you're in love with their boyfriend?
"So were you guys just going to carry on behind my back?" She stared accusingly at me.
"No, Tess honestly we would never do that to you." I began to plead.
"Oh, you wouldn't?" She gave a cruel giggle. "So, you's didn't make out before you knew about me?"
I looked at the floor guilt's dark cloud surrounding me.
"I knew it, I thought you were a friend Michie but you're nothing but a backstabber." She looked at me up and down in disgust. "Well, you can have him because I broke up with him and I'm leaving this stupid B&B tonight!"
"Tess, please don't leave. I'm so sorry!" My pleading was cut off as a stinging sensation warmed my cheek.
"Don't!" Tess pointed her finger at me her eyes full of hate before storming out of the dining room.
I held my cheek as I sunk to the floor in tears and began to sob quietly.
"Michie, what happened?" Jason ran to me as he came through the door.
"Tess, she gave me what I deserved." I said still a bit stunned from what had happened.
"You did not deserve this." He said sympathetically while softly rubbing the red patch on my cheek.
"I did." I began to cry into his shoulder. "I kissed her boyfriend and now she broke up with him and is leaving and it's all my fault!" I sobbed harder.
"Michie, its not your fault. Shane kissed you remember don't put this all on yourself." Jason gently rocked me back and forth rubbing my hair to calm me down.
"Come on, we'll get you to bed to rest up." Jason said picking me up bridal style and taking me upstairs.
The whole way I had my head buried into his shoulder tears still flowing down my cheeks so when he laid me down on the bed there was a tear stain on his t-shirt. "Sorry." I said gesturing to it.
"Don't worry about it." He smiled kissing me on the forehead and turned to leave.
"Jason, will you stay, please?" I said wiping away stray tears.
"Course, I'll stay till you fall asleep." He smiled gently and lay beside me on the bed.
"Thank you." I whispered placing my head on his chest and before I knew it I drifted off into a well deserved sleep.
The next morning I woke up still in my clothes from last night on top of my duvet and Jason was gone. I groaned inwardly, even though it was the second last day of school I just wanted to hide under my blankets the whole day.
"Good morning!" Jason's bright cheerful voice sung as he came through the door holding a tray, with a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice on it.
"Um...morning!" I smiled back weakly.
He hummed while he put the tray beside me, how can anyone be this happy in the morning? I thought to myself.
"Thanks for staying with me last night." I smiled at him as I sat up on my bed.
"I didn't stay the whole night just until I knew you were asleep." He said modestly. "Eat up then, you have school in a while." He said gesturing to the tray.
"I really don't feel like going today..." I began but Jason cut in.
"Look Michie what happened yesterday happened you can't let it take over your life, she'll find someone soon enough. Her and Shane were not meant to be or their relationship would've survived that bump in the road. Plus you have to get our home-coming tickets today." He giggled at the last part and so did I.
After I ate Jason left my tray back to the kitchen and told me he'd see me after school. After I thru on a tank top and my favourite skinny jeans, I pulled my hair into a ponytail and drove to school.
"Hi, Caity!" I smiled as she pulled up beside me in her yellow beatle.
She smiled at me getting out of her car, "Hey Mich!"
I was going to have to tell her about last night sometime so I done it there and then. Afterwards Caitlyn looked annoyed, "I'm gonna knock that blond dye off her head!"
"Caity, it's fine I deserved it." I said with a small smile I was glad Caitlyn was on my side but I did break Tess and Shane up.
"No you didn't he kissed you first...TWICE!" She said defensively.
"I know, Caity but I'm still responsible in some ways."
"I don't think you did but I'll just agree with you." She smiled but then her expression changed again to a serious one. "What happens now with you and Shane?"
"Honestly, I've no idea." I groaned. I knew exactly what I wanted to happen but I thought it was too soon after his break up.
Caity shook her head and laughed before linking her arm with mine and leading us into school.
The day was over pretty quick we done nothing all day except buy our home coming tickets.
I waved at Caitlyn as she pulled out of her parking space first and away from school.
