Eddies side of the story:
Chapter 1: Break-up
Eddies point of view.
I knew this would hurt her, but I had to do it I didn’t feel the same way. I felt like a coward breaking up with her through a text but I couldn’t do it face to face, I couldn’t stand the pain I would put her through.
I typed the message out slowly so I wouldn’t make a mistake. Them pushed send, a sign flicked up that said message sent and I knew that she would probably have it soon she always had her phone in her pocket.
My phone beeped in my, hand I was scared to look at it. Surly it couldn’t be Cat already. I lifted the phone infront of my face, relief flooded through me when I saw it was Lilly.
Do you want to go for a coffee. It said.
I knew it would be wrong what if we saw Cat she would be so angry, but I needed to tell her what I did surly Cat wouldn’t go out. I text back sure and we were going to meet up in town at one of my favourite cafes.
When I got outside of the café she was already there waiting for me.
“Hey.” She said while running towards me linking her arms in mine.
“Hi.” I replied.
“Did you do it?” she asked.
“Yea I did.”
“Great.” She said. How could she be this happy she probably just broke her best friends heart.
“Shes your best friend.” I spat out. “how can you be so happy?”
“She’ll forgive me.” She said full of confidence.
“I’m not so sure.” I said as we walked into the café.
“I’ll look for a seat.” I told her.
I turned my head to look around the room to find a seat, that’s when I saw Cat sitting in a far away corner dried up tears running down her check. I froze I wanted to turn and run. She met my gaze and hatred filled her eyes.
“Who are you looking at.” Lilly said.
Cat’s eyes looked at Lilly and rolled her eyes she stood up from her table and gave the waitress her plate. Then she shoved her shoulder into us as she walked past.
“Cat, wait!.” Lilly yelled.
But Cat didn’t turn this wasn’t going to be good.
“Cat,” Lilly yelled again “Wait!”
This time she spun round and replied.
“Only friends call me Cat.” Her voice was dry and weak I wanted to run up and give her a hug. Tell her how sorry I was but I was frozen to the spot.
“Let me explain.” Lilly said.
“Oh I think it’s pretty easy you stole my boyfriend when you knew I was in love with him.” She replied back.
My heart just about stopped beating I had never heard her say those words out loud before. Guilt rose to the top of my stomach. Her eyes stared round to meet mine, my face expression was sympathetic she rolled her eyes and looked away. I remembered how she didn’t like people feeling sorry for her.
“It wasn’t like that.” Lilly said.
“I don’t want to hear it.”
I felt myself walking forward like the glue that was keeping me from moving suddenly evaporated. I wanted to comfort her tell her everything was going to be okay. When she saw me coming tears filled in her eyes and she turned and ran. Not the way to go home and I knew where she might be going.
Lilly ran towards me tears streaming down her face.
“That was awful, she’ll never forgive me.” She said flinging her arms around me. It felt wrong I didn’t want her arms round me I wanted someone elses.
I pushed her away and shock and confusion came across her face.
“I know where she’s going I’ll go talk to her.” I said.
“I don’t think she’ll want either of us with her.” She said through sobs.
“Well im going.” I said as I ran in the direction Cat had ran in.
