2 WEEKS LATER
Weston's POV
"Harlyn, please, you can't keep avoiding me forever. We need to talk about what happened." I plead with her over the phone.
"Weston, I'm trying to mend things with Jacob. I can't be seen with you alone anymore, not until he can trust me again." She says.
"Why do you want to be with him if he doesn't trust you? You can be with me."
"Because I do. I want to be with him, Wes. He treats me like a princess."
"I treat you like a princess. I love you." I admit to her.
She pauses for a minute. Then she says, "Well, I love Jacob." I feel like my heart breaks into a million pieces.
1 WEEK LATER (sorry for skipping around a lot.)
Harlyn runs up to me and pulls me away from the girl I was making out with. "What the fuck, Har?"
"You can leave now." She tells the girl.
"No, stay. What are you doing?"
"You can't keep doing this." Harlyn says.
"Doing what?" I ask confused.
"How many girls have you slept with this week? 6?" She asks making her point.
"I don't know. And who are you to worry about my love life?"he
"I'm not worried about your love life, which isn't even love by the way, I'm worried about you."
"Shouldn't you be worried about Jacob." I say pulling out my 'pill pouch'. I get a pill out and shut the pouch. Once she sees it she smacks it out of my hand. "What the hell is your problem?"
"No, what the hell is your problem?" She almost yells at me in the halls of Hintal.
"Nothing, bitch!" I say loudly. I grab the girl I was kissing hand walk away.
"What has happened to you?" She yells.
Harlyn's POV
I think I've broken Weston.
Jacob runs up behind and wraps his arms around my waist. "Just give up on him. He's not worth it." I turn my head to kiss him.
"He's falling apart and he can't see it." I say to him.
"Bro! Are you serious?" I hear Weston yell and I turn to see him wrapping his arms around Mario and Loren. He smiles wide.
"He looks pretty put together to me." Jacob says as he grabs my hand walks the other direction.
"That's because you don't know him."
"Oh I don't? He was my best friend long before he or I even knew you. Oh wait, maybe I don't know him all that well because I never expected him to be kissing you behind my back! I don't know though maybe I was thinking to high of him, and of you. You know what? Be with him if want to be with him. I can't take this anymore." Jacob says loudly and then walks away.
"Jacob. Come back. I love you!" Tears fall out of my eyes. Zach walks up to me and I wrap my arms around his neck and cry into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Har." He says comforting me.
Westons POV
I get a text from Harlyn.
Har 😒: Wes, are you okay? I'm genuinely concerned for you.
Me: Oh my god. I'm fine stop asking me that. Why do you even care?
Har 😒: Because I do. You're my friend and you're really hurting me.
Me: Harlyn!! Just stay out of my life. If you're so mad or sad that I've changed, well then hear this, it's all your fault that I've changed.
Har 😒: Babe. This isn't you.
Me: Babe? Babe? Are you serious? We are nothing. I spent months chasing you and you rejected me every single time. And now I'm done.
Har 😒: I just thought, maybe, you'd wanna talk now that me and Jacob are over. After all we broke up because I was worried about you.
Me: No I don't want to talk.
Har 😒: Weston. I miss you.
Me: And I don't care.
I turn off my phone after I send that message. What is her problem? I'm done with her. She broke my heart. I'm not letting her break it again. Even if I have to be cruel.
I meet up with Mario at the gym. He's with Loren and Hunter.
"So? Jacob and Har are over, you gonna get her?" Mario asks with his around around my neck.
"No."
"What?" They all ask in unison.
"No. Did you see what she did to me? I chased her for so long only to be put down everytime. I like the new me. I'm a lot more fun."
"Come on, Wes, you sleep with a different girl every other day." Loren says.
"Yeah, I know. I like that better than getting my heart broken every other day."
"You know what it feels like to have your heart broken. Well, your breaking Harlyn's heart acting like this. And for what? To prove a point?" Loren asks.
"No, not to prove a point. I'm acting like this to get myself back. I want to be myself again because with her I wasn't myself. And she deserves to feel what I felt because of her." I explain.
"This isn't you though." Hunter says. I look at him.
"Would you rather me be sad and heartbroken all the time?"
"No man, you're right. She doesn't deserve you." He says.
"Hunter!" Loren yells at him.
"Loren, you knows he's right. Do you remember what used to be like? Do you want that Weston back?"
"No, but I don't want this Weston either." Loren says as she stomps out.
"Loren!" Hunter yells at her as he chases her.
"I love you man, but I'm with Loren on this one. I want YOU back." Mario says and then walks out.
I sigh and sit against the wall. They're all wrong. This IS who I am.
Loren's POV
"Loren!" I hear Hunter yell for me as I run out of the gym. I feel him grab my arm and I jerk I away.
"What do you want?" I spit out.
"Babe, what's wrong?" He asks.
"Whats wrong? Something is wrong with him. I know it. He doesn't want to tell anyone but something is bothering him." I say.
"Loren." He starts but interrupt him.
"Why are you siding with him?"
"He's my friend."
"No, that guy in there is not our friend." I say as a tear slides down my cheek.
"Why do you care so much, Loren?"
"Because Weston's my friend, the real Weston is. And something is wrong with him. I care about him and he doesn't even want to help himself."
