Chapter 13.

Ian Harper and Sophie were a hot item at their high school. They were really into each other, or at least it looked that way. Come junior prom night, Sophie was real excited. Ian was being a real gentleman. He had even picked her up in a limo.
At the party, they went their separate ways for a while. While dancing with some of her and Tyler's friends she saw Ian walk out suspiciously out the door. Sophie grew a bit uncomfortable inside and after waiting a second or two she excused herself and went after him.
She walked out of the stuff high school gym and lead herself down the familiar hall. She stopped dead in her tracks when she hears two very familiar voices. She listened in closely, trying to make out what they were talking about. She stepped forward, and what she say immediately crushed her fragile heart.
"Ian?" Sophie squeaked, surprising the attractive boy and making him jump apart form the recognizable red streaked, black haired girl he had been so fervently and passionately kissing.
"Ashley?" Sophie scoffed and bit her lip hard, trying to stop unwanted tears.
She looked at both of them from head to toe. Disgust, hatred, anger and sadness were all present in her gaze. She put on a brave face, even though her insides felt like stopping altogether and turned to their faces.
"Fuck you both" and with that she returned to the gym, only to be hit square in the chest by the song blaring loudly on the speakers.
I've been waiting all day here for you babe
So won't you come sit and talk to me
And tell me how we're gonna be together always
I hope you know that when it's late at night
I hold on to my pillow tight
And think of how you promised me forever
(I never thought that anyone) Could make me feel this way
(Now that you're here boy all I want) Is just a chance to say
Chorus
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know, about her
And I wonder
How I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right
But you was just a waste of time
Tell me why you're looking so confused
When I'm the one who didn't know the truth
How could you ever be so cold?
To go behind my back and call my friend
Boy you must've gone and bumped your head
Because you left her number on your phone
(So now after all is said and done)
Maybe I'm the one to blame, but
(To think that you could be the one)
Well it didn't work out that way
Chorus
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know, about her (who)
And I wonder (why)
How I bought all the lies (all the lies)
You said that you would treat me right (you said that you)
But you was just a waste of time (waste of time)
I wanted you right here with me
But I have no choice, you've gotta leave
Because my heart is breaking
With every word I'm saying
Boy, I gave up everything I had
On something that just wouldn't last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these eyes (ohh, ohh)
Get out!
Chorus
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me (you and me)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know, about her (who)
And I wonder (why)
How I bought all the lies (how did buy all your lies?)
You said that you would treat me right (you said that you)
But you was just a waste of time (waste of time)
Chorus
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me (hey yeah)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know, about her (who)
And I wonder (why)
How I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right (treat me right)
But you was just a waste of time (ooh)
As soon as the ironic tune came to an end, Sophie stood up form her chair and leaving a confused Tyler behind she headed home.

She had currently stopped walking to find herself in front of her room's door. Her chest found it hard to breathe a midst the sobs and her face was dripping with salty tears. Not being strong enough to swipe her card through, seeing as her hands were dramatically shaking, she stood up against the door and slid down to the floor, her knees against her chest. Just as she sat there, she kept on crying.
Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, Tyler filled Megan and Freddy in on Sophie's drama.
"So that prick Harper, not only cheats on my sister, but also does it with one of her best friends" recounted Tyler, speaking Ian's name with disgust once again.
"I feel like such a bitch. I really didn't know" said Megan, sorrow clearly present in her voice.
"Nah, I mean you didn't know and what are the chances that he'd be here?" said Tyler comforting Megan.
All this time Freddy was shocked. 'That prick really hurt Sophie' he thought. Listening to Tyler re-telling that night's events, Freddy didn't even feel his hands balling into fists and by the end he was so immersed in anger, his knuckles had turned white, a product of his fists clenching hard. Something bubbled deep inside him, it was strange, unusual, and most definitely a novelty for Freddy. It was so strong that he didn't know whether to shrug it off or worry.
He politely excused himself through clenched teeth and shoving Ian Harper out of his way hard, he left to find Sophie.
His search finally came to an end when he saw her sitting down, her knees against her chest, against her door. He approached her slowly and carefully, the sound of her hysteric sobs making him cringe inside. He didn't even know what to say, so he opted for not speaking for fear of that he might say something insensitive or worse, inappropriate. He sat down next to her, copying her position. He doubted and debated what hew as about to do. Finally, throwing caution to the wind, he put his arm around her and brought her closer, so that her head was resting against his shoulder. He said nothing, she continued to cry; her tears now dripping onto his shirt. He leant her a shoulder to cry on, and she appreciated it.
