Chapter 11
"HOW COULD YOU?" I bellowed at Sam. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? That I just wouldn't find out? Well GUESS WHAT! I DID!"
"I can see that," he replied calmly. "But aren't you two going out now?"
"Yes. But that's beside the point!" I was flustered.
"Well see, really I did you a favor. If I hadn't told him, you probably wouldn't be going out right now. So I'm off the hook!" He punched the air triumphantly.
I turned away from him and pouted. He had a really good point. If I wasn't so smug about my new boyfriend, I would have killed him for arguing with me.
"Fine," I sighed. "But if you ever do anything like that again, I will not hesitate to lynch you."
"Okay." he had his happy-go-lucky face on.
I practically skipped on my way into the pool. Leah and Jake could have each other. I had Edward! I smiled at that thought, and repeated it over and over in my head until it was stuck there, imprinted in my memory.
Practice went by with unusual swiftness. Once again, my mind was elsewhere. But this time it was in a happy place, not the depressing rejection it had been in before.
I climbed out of the pool and ran to my bag, immediately taking out my phone. Two new messages from Edward. I was in bliss! Nothing could bring me down. I kept thinking about my happiness as I thumbed through my messages. Suddenly I read the message that brought me down. Down wasn't low enough. I had to sit down. I felt like my stomach was being cut into a million pieces. Betrayal, mistrust, hurt, and pain found me quickly and rested there in my head.
A/N: Consider it a Christmas present. I gave a quick chap without reviews. Review as much as you can to find out what happens. The chap will come out at about 6:00 PST, depending on how many reviews I get. I have swim practice at 3:00 PST, and maybe I'll post one up before that. So REVIEW for chap. Oh and also, I want ideas of what you want the dreaded text message to say. Please pleas please please PLEASE REVIEW!
RxR!
