Alex’s POV

I ran away as fast as I could after the kiss, I couldn’t let him do this to me. My feelings are swarming me in circles like hornets just ready to sting the defenceless person running and screaming from them.

“Alex!” A strange voice says behind me.

“Leave me alone!” I scream back.

“Alex! Alex, come on, we just want to talk!” The voice rings again and I slow down, seeing a familiar Filipino girl from years passed with a similar brunette from History
class.

“Bree?” I say, turning around to see the girl in the black and grey tee, no jacket but doesn’t look cold as she never was in thirty degree weather.

“Alex, don’t play dumb. I’m the only girl you knew that wouldn’t wear a jacket in the cold.” She says, pushing her purple glasses back on her face.

“What are you doing calling for me?” I wonder out loud, Tess not saying anything.

“Well first we wanted to know why the heck you were running away? We know Mr. Alex

“I hate running” Gaskarth doesn’t run. Secondly, Tess wanted to know if you wanted to catch up and do the project so that you don’t fail history. Lastly, we want to know what’s up with you and Mr. Barakat. Don’t lie, we know you play with your hair when you do.” She asks as the freezing cold cowers and Tess shoves on red gloves to match a jacket with black hearts on it.

“Not your business, I’m allowed to have a personal life. Also for the meet up, I don’t care. Your choice.” I say, nervous on saying too much.

“Liar, now come with us. We need to talk to you in private, Tess wanted to tell you something for a long time but she’s finally going to do it.” Bree says, grabbing my hand and leading me down Broken Dream Boulevard and towards a small acher were horses play and do their thing.

We finally reach the smaller part of the country like area where the apple trees stand tall and the leaves lay dead on the ground, just like my heart, broken and stepped on.

We sit in silence on the cold light snow, not a single word is spoken but the glares I get from Bree hurt a bit. I don’t even know what’s going on.

“Alex, do you want to know the reason why Tess hasn’t spoken a single word since you and here were friends and she left you?” Bree says, looking at me dead straight in the eye.

I say yes and that’s when the words spoken hurt me like a hurricane, sink me like a ship, and make a small bit of me die inside.

“She was hurt Alex, she was fucking hurt by your own brother before he died of Cancer. She didn’t want to get close to you anymore because she was scared that you would turn into the monster your he was. She gets scared just being around you because all of her innocence went away at such a young age! Your own presence scares her! Thanks a lot Gaskarth, your brother screwed your old and only best friend eleven years ago.” She screams at me, walking away and leaving me to drown in my stone cold thoughts in the dark.

Maybe my brother wasn’t the guy I knew ten years ago and that my whole life’s been a total lie….
