Thoughts of Shane and Ryan flooded my brain for hours already.Still can't believe I did that to myself.  I stood up stretched my arms and went back inside the room. I was so hungry, but I did not want to leave the room.Sight of Shane or TJ might just be enough to kill me. To fight off the temptation, I crawled back into bed and decided to do some reading on my phone.

Minutes into my reading, I heard the door open and found myself frozen and holding my breath. Apparently, I hold my breath when I'm scared.

"Alli?" I recognized Sarah's tone, making me sigh in relief. She walked to the other side of the bed. "The house is really quiet today." She added.

I remained silent still upset to talk to anyone.

"Where's Shane?" She asked looking at me. "Did something happen?" She asked noticing my uncomfortable look on my face when she said Shane's name. I didn't reply, but I'm pretty sure my body language already answered her question. "You don't have to tell me. But whatever you're going through I hope you feel better. Just know you can tell me anything." She reminded patting my arm before leaving me alone.

"Sarah." I called. She turned around with a surprised look on her face. "I want to tell you everything." I said looking straight into her eyes to show that this was a important.

"Then tell me." She said climbing on my bed waiting for me to sit up.

I sat up. "Please don't hate me." I sighed wondering if I should tell her everything.

"Alli. By the way you look, it sounds important and personal. If you trust me enough to tell me everything. Than I should be pretty understanding." She stated.

This was why I had the sudden urge to tell her. She's like my second best friend.

"Shane and I lied." I sighed. "We're not nor were we ever in a real relationship." I nodded my head slowly.

"What?" She said surprised with widened eyes. "How? Why?" She said.

I told her the story of what Shane first said to about his plan. And she confirmed that his patents never talked about him having a girlfriend, which proved that he was telling the truth. Everything was because of his stupid bet.

"How could you lie to us?" Sarah asked a little hurt.

"I didn't want to. Shane convinced me." I blamed. 

"I forgive you." Sarah said.

"Really?" I looked up at her with widened eyes.
