!JAKE'S POV!

Friday night I couldn't sleep. So many things were happening. I was mad at Kevin. I was worried about Alyssa. I was worried about Audrey and I was mad at Sarah. When I got home I just stomped upstairs and slammed my door. I wanted to hit something, but I decided not to. I tried to go to sleep to get my mind off things, but that just kept my mind ON things. I couldn't stand it any longer; I decided to go to Alyssa's house to check on her. I pulled on my hoodie and some basketball shorts. When I got there, I saw something that just made me angrier...Kevin was standing there talking to an annoyed Alyssa from her window. I stood there for a second, I couldn't believe Kevin had the nerve to come over after all of this and talk to MY girlfriend. I finally walked over to Kevin and pushed him from behind. "Dude! What do you think you're doing here?" " Just talking to Alyssa...do you have a problem with that?" "Of course I do!!!!" I shouted. " You take advantage of her and then come to her house without hardly any time passing? What are you here for?" "Uh, like I said before... to talk to Alyssa." , he replied annoyed. "I know damn well what you said before! But what are you here to talk to her about?", I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"God Jake... I was just apologizing." he said calmly. " Well at least she isn't crying." I said. Just then Alyssa spotted me (her head had been turned the whole time), she smiled, and told me to come on up to her room. That made me feel a whole lot better. I gave her a big hug and kiss and saw Kevin scowl. It made me feel the tiny bit better. Alyssa told Kevin to go home and then we heard a huge bang from the bathroom. We walked in and saw a crying Audrey with a bloody fist and a broken mirror. Audrey assured us that she was ok...Alyssa and I walked back into Alyssa's room. She was crying and I could tell she was scared for her sister. She then wrapped her arms around me and held me like she never wanted to let go for at least ten minutes. Audrey walked back into the room with a bloody towel wrapped around her fist. "Alyssa, do you think we should get Mom and Dad?" "Well... only if you want to, it's your business. But if there is a deep wound we might need to..." Alyssa started. Audrey finished her sentence "Go to the doctor?" They did that often, always finishing each other's sentences. Audrey's eyes had become big. Big with fear. Alyssa seemed to not want to look at Audrey for it made her want to cry.

!AUDREY'S POV!

I was relieved when Alyssa got home. She was the only one who could comfort me. She came into my room and she didn't say anything. She just came into my room and crawled into my bed. We both fell asleep until around 2 o' clock in the morning. Alyssa and I heard tapping on the window. I got up to go check who it was. I went to the window and glanced out and saw Kevin. I heard him yell, "I need to talk to Alyssa!" I ignored him, but we kept hearing the tapping on the window. I went to go tell him off.

Then Alyssa went to go talk to him. I got up to leave but Alyssa caught me and convinced me not to Alyssa's head whipped around to find Jake. I couldn't stand being in there anymore. I went to the bathroom to go calm myself down. I went in there and sat on the toilet. I out my head into my hands and started to cry. I stood up and went over to the sink. I put my hands on the counter and started taking "cleansing breaths" (something my Mom taught me to do when I get mad or upset.)

Before I knew it, I was just breathing hard, nothing like cleansing breaths. I looked up into the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy from crying. I could see why Kevin didn't want to be with me. I was nothing special to look at, at all. I couldn't stand what was looking back at me in the mirror. I took my fist and smashed it into her face; not realizing it was the mirror. There was glass all over the counter and floor. I just looked at it on the floor, and then I looked at my shaking fist.

There was blood all over my hand and it stung. But other than that, I couldn't really feel my hand. Alyssa and Jake appeared at the door. I told them I was ok, because I didn't want to scare Alyssa. But I was scared probably more than her. After Jake and Alyssa left, I looked at the bits of shattered glass and then back to my hand. I started to cry again, from the pain and from all the emotions inside of me. How was I going to explain this?

I mean, I couldn't go around with my hand all wounded without anyone noticing. And Mom and Dad would eventually find out about the mirror. I then realized I should really clean my hand off. What if I needed to go to the doctor's? I walked over to the sink, stepping on piece of glass, and washed my hand off. I got a towel and wrapped it around my hand tightly. I think I might really have to go to the doctors. I stepped back out into my room and asked Alyssa if I should tell Mom and Dad.

She didn't really know, she said it was up to me. I took a deep breath and made my way to my parent's room.

!SARAH'S POV!

I went to bed that night finally, but around 2 in the morning. I heard something in the hall. Being the nosy person I was, I went to go check who it was. It was Jake. I decided I'd follow him, since he wasn't going anywhere in the house because he had on his hoodie. I followed him outside and down the sidewalk. I made sure to stay a few feet behind him and to stay near a bush. He was walking towards Alyssa and Audrey's house. He got to their house and his jaw dropped.

I couldn't see what was going on, seeing as how I was behind a bush. His face turned to anger and he stomped into their yard. I waited there, for a good 10 minutes or longer and then I heard footsteps. Then Kevin appeared. Kevin? At Audrey and Alyssa's house? While they hate him? That's not right... He should be home... asleep. But I shouldn't have been thinking this because Kevin saw me. He saw me like a deer in headlights. Kevin stared at me for a second with pure disgust. "Thanks for that idea..." I was confused; I had no idea what he was talking about "Idea?" "Yeah, you know what I'm talking about..." "No, I'm afraid I don't" "You remember... up in your tree house. You told me to use Audrey to get Alyssa." "I didn't tell you that! I told you revenge..." I then realized I basically gave him the idea. "Yeah, well that's what I thought you meant." Kevin walked past me and went to his house.

I felt so bad about the whole situation. I didn't think Jake, Alyssa, Audrey, or Kevin would ever forgive me. I don't blame them. I was a complete jerk. I looked up to see Jake go inside Alyssa's house. They went up to her room and then walked out of sight. I waited for about five more minutes before heading back home. I still felt really bad and ended up crying myself to sleep.

!KEVIN'S POV!

Audrey was ignoring me. I didn't blame her. I really needed to talk to Alyssa. Alyssa finally came to the window after a few minutes of bothering them. I started talking to Alyssa and she responded uninterested. I wanted her to like me so bad! But I don't think this will happen, as she is in love with Jake. All of a sudden I heard someone behind me, I spun around and saw Jake there. Oh boy, was I in trouble now. I tried to act cool, and like I didn't care. I gave him smart answers, which was hard because I was scared he was going to hurt me. Alyssa invited Jake in, and I felt rejected. Which made sense, since I was a reject. I saw Jake come into the room. Alyssa and Jake hugged then kissed. Double rejected. I watched them talk for a little bit, then their heads suddenly turned towards the door with shocked looks on their faces. They left the room. I decided I'd leave, since there was no point in staying. When I got on to the sidewalk,

next to the bushes, I saw Sarah crouched down. I didn't want to talk to Sarah, let alone see her. She was the one who gave me the idea for all of this. I told her that I was upset with her and walked away. When I got to my house, I didn't go inside. I went to the back, to the pool. I jumped in, with my clothes on and all. I didn't know what this action was for... but it seemed necessary.

!ALYSSA'S POV!

At first I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was so overwhelmed. Kevin and Jake were fighting over me, I liked Jake; Audrey liked Kevin and was completely miserable because Kevin liked me. I wanted to kill myself. Then Kevin would stop liking me. I would miss Audrey and Jake though. Sarah too, even after what she did to me. Audrey asked if she should tell mom and dad to take her to the doctors, I told her whatever she wanted to do and she marched off to find them. Right after she was out of sight, I started crying. I couldn't help it! I felt somebody pulled me into a hug. Realizing it was Jake I hugged him back. We stayed like that for a while and I never wanted it to end. All of a sudden mom came running in and told Jake and I to get in the car. Jake and I ran downstairs and got in the back seat of our blue Expedition. Mom called Jake's parents to tell them what was going on and to let them know where Jake was. When we got to the E.R they took Audrey back to have x-rays and Jake and I sat down looking like nervous wrecks. After a while the doctor came out and told us the results. Audrey had broken her wrist in two places and three of her fingers. She would have to stay at the hospital overnight at least to have it taken care of. We didn't even get a chance to say good night before we had to leave. In the car, Jake and I sat in the very back again and I fell asleep, my head on Jake's shoulder. I woke up the next morning in my bed and it was around noon. I got up, pulled my hair back into a ponytail, put on some khaki capris and a light blue spaghetti strap shirt, and went downstairs to ask if I could get a lift to the hospital to visit Audrey. We headed to the hospital and soon the Bakers came too. When we got there Audrey was a little groggy but seemed happy to see us. She had a cast on her wrist and was in her regular clothes. The nurse told us Audrey was ready to be taken home.
