Don't Speak Chapter 3 By Devilchild211

Author's Note Sorry everyone for not writing for um... how long. I was planning to stop since I started to lose interest cause of one of my friends were trying to find out every little detail about me! ARG!!! Do you know how annoying that is?! LOL Well any ways- a special sorry to Leby2000 since I know she wanted me to finish this story pretty badly (you kinda get that feeling when they review your story with only two chapters 10 times LOL) Well please R+R!!!

I ran all the way to the park 4 miles from the school. I jogged in & stumbled onto a bench & sat down to catch my breath huffing & puffing. "Who the hell did Miranda think she was!?" I muttered annoyed under my breathe- I didn't need them! "I don't need them. I don't need them. I don't need them. I don't need them. I don't need them." I chanted to myself when I heard a muffled laugh & looked up to see Lana. Lana's my cousin from my mom's side of the family- when our high schools joined both of us met up- they hadn't gotten close until this year.

She brushed back her long dark brown hair, "So- who don't you need?" she asked sitting down next to me.

"Oh- just those two obnoxious girls that you always saw me with in 9th grade. They won't leave alone- apparently not hanging out with them is now officially a crime."

She laughed, "Well forget about them- guess what?!" she said excitedly.

"What?" my automatic response

"I got you a date!! It's a blind date!!" She smiled evilly, I gulped.

"NO! I mean. ehhh please no?", I was practically on my knee pathetically begging, she just glared. I wasn't going to win this one. I sighed. "Well at least not another goth with the switch blade again?" don't even ask me to explain. urgh. horrid flashbacks.

"How many times do I have to tell you I didn't know she was manic- depressive and was off her pills. Sheeze!!" she said sighing and rolling her eyes, "get ready by 7, nothing too fancy k?" she said as she began to leave.

"Hey! Aren't you going to at least tell me something about her!?" I yelled after.

*****

I'm not sure what to do, I'm just sitting, dead silence. Should I tell her, but then what would happen? Would I be the third wheel while they patched everything up & act like they didn't notice I was just a boring back up plan? Yea I would. I reached over & gave her hug but I still couldn't say anything. I gulped- this was it- now or never, I had to tell her, taking a deep breathe. "Lizzie."

"You don't want to have to compete with me for friendship do you? To have to work for Lizzie to notice you as her best friend instead of the both us. Don't you like being the one she runs to when in need instead of hearing it second?"

His harsh words rang in my ears. God he knew how to hit home didn't he? She looked up at me- her accusing and glaring. "What?" 'It's now or never' I thought grimly to myself

"I was. well- I was walking by & I kinda- well I kinda" I stuttered trying to tell her what happened with out sounding like-

"YOU WERE SPYING" yeah- that. exactly

"ehh."

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU MIRANDA!!! YOU WERE FREAKIN SPYING ON ME!!!" she screamed her face turning from the flushed pink it already was into a dark murderous red as she jumped up so fast she almost fell over almost tripping over her bed sheets. She glared at me her eyes alarmingly dark. Uh oh..

"He was crying." I whispered.

Her face changed from anger to shock in worlds speed time, the color draining from her flushed face

"I don't get it- I don't get him!!" she yelled, I'm not sure if it was in anger or pain

"Lizzie- Lizzie, it's ok." I said soothingly and I tried to hug her. She shrugged away and pushed me back.

"I need to talk to him, I'm so confused. I want to get this settled." I stood there and shook my head sadly, I was already the third wheel. I turned to leave.

"I love him."
