Chapter Three

I pulled away. "Sorry Marco, I just.. I can't" I stuttered out

"It's okay, I understand." He said disappointed

He got off from on top of me, and picked up shirt and handed it to me. I quickly pulled it back on, and quickly said "I guess I should get going now."

"Sure if you want to." He replied

I sat there for a minute unsure of what to do, wanting to stay, but at the same time terrified. I decided to leave, I slowly stood up and gave Marco a hug good-bye, and walked out the front door feeling very uncomfortable. Walking quite slowly, I started on my way home. Replaying what had just happened in my head, tears began to roll down my cheeks. But now, I was alone. I had no one I could go to for this one. Jake isn't here, but if he was he would want me to tell Tobias. Cassie would go ape shit, lecture me on infidelity, eh certainly didn't need a guilt trip. Tobias is obviously out of this one. Marco, uh well he would probably want me to tell Tobias, so we would break up. It slowly began rain, soft and gentle at first, the hard n fast. I was in mood to run , so I just kept at my current slow pace. What am I going to do!? I love Tobias, I think. But I'm falling for Marco. He did things for me Tobias would never do, if I came to Tobias crying, he would just freeze up afraid to touch me. Half the time he was scared to kiss me, as if my lips were poisonous or something. I finally got to my house unlocked the doors and ran up to bedroom, I threw my wet, tired body down on the bed, just as I heard someone running up my stairs, and barging threw my door. I slowly turned over to see Marco, drenched in water, panting, standing over my bed. I quickly sat up in shock.

" Rach,. I am really sorry about what happened, I had no right to put you in that kind of situation." He said sympathetically

I just looked over at him for a few minutes. Then finally moving, I gave him a hug.

"Thanks for being there for me, Tobias never would have done the stuff you did for me." I said to him

" Anytime Rach, I know we have not always got a long in the past. But hey I'm growing up, I even grew to inches." he said laughing

I started to laugh threw the small amount of tears I had left, suddenly forgetting all about

Tobias. I stood up and headed towards my bathroom.

"Okay, well I am going to take a shower, here is a towel, go into my laundry room and put your clothes in the dryer. Don't worry about anyone coming home, no one should be home for another 3 hours." I said to him as I threw a towel in his direction and walked into the bathroom.

30 m i n u t e s l a t e r

I finally emerged from the bathroom, with a new outfit on and feeling slightly better , I went downstairs to the game room to find Marco fully dressed in warm, dryer fresh clothes.

" Hey Rach, maybe you should go talk to Tobias, about everything you have been feeling lately? Just to get it all out , you know?" Marco suggested

"Hmm,.. I guess you have a pretty good idea." I replied. Shortly after that we decided to go up to Cassie's so I could talk to Tobias. We toke, my sort of , not officially yet my car. We weren't in the mood to morph, and I do get my license next month, so its technically legal... right?

We were pretty silent the whole way up to Cassie's. I was still feeling a little bit uncomfortable about the event that had taken place. So I just turned on the radio to fill the empty silence. We pulled up to Cassie's, I felt nervous and scared. Should I tell Tobias what had happened? I want to, don't know how long I'll be able to feel this guilt.

I slowly started to walk to the barn door, guilt building up like a ball in my throat, making it tight and feel hard to breath, my legs slowly started to cramp up with fear and guilt as I opened the barn door silently and slowly tiptoed in. It seemed as if no one was there and I was ready to silently make my exit when I heard a slight moan. At first paralyzed with fear, I just stood there like a deer in head lights, the moaning continued. I thought I know what it has to be, suddenly filled with anger, rage and hatred I ran up to were the noise was coming from. Which was in the backroom of Cassie's barn, if you can really call it a back room, all it basically is just a big wall that slightly divides the barn. I ran up to the wall, then stop, keeping close to the wall, I slowly walked along the rest of it until I got to the open area, I turned my head. Screamed at what I saw, my best friend and my boyfriend having sex. I already figured it when I walked in the barn but actually seeing it. Everything slowly started to go black, and I couldn't hear anything, I saw Cassie and Tobias talking to me , but I couldn't hear them. Then slowly the blackness toke over my sight and that was it.
