Tug Of War

CHAPTER 2

It felt as if my heart had been torn in two pieces, but somehow I knew it was coming. I knew Drew would do something that would destroy me, break me down and crush every memory of us.

I stood frozen with my back against the door letting my tears run down my cheeks and make puddles on the floor, I stopped and sighed as I walked my way to my bedroom realizing I had to tell my best friend Lily what had just happened.

Lily and I had been together ever since Pre School, we were best friends and always did everything together until I met Drew. After graduation we didn’t get to see each other as much since Lily had moved to California and left me behind. I still love her and talk to her when I can.

I couldn’t bare it any longer so I walked straight into the room where Drew was still sleeping; he looked so innocent and sweet in his sleep. I didn’t want to hurt him yet so I grabbed his phone and walked out. I stomped across the hall and entered the bathroom where I began to read his texts which were all to the girl he had been cheating on me with.

‘Where can I meet u tonight?’-Drew

‘I miss u so much!’-Drew

‘Can't wait to see you later’-Drew

As I read each of his texts a small headache formed in the back of my head growing bigger and bigger, I couldn’t wait any longer but had to call Lily.

I got my phone out of my pocket and dialled her number as fast as lightening, I was panicking as I couldn’t think of a way to tell her what Drew had done to me. After a few rings Lily picked up.

“Hi Hayley we haven’t talked in days, how are you?” she said in a cheerful way.

“Lily, I…”I sobbed as I tried telling her but couldn’t as I couldn’t bare the pain.

I swallowed my spit and took a deep breath hoping it would go easy.

“Hayley, what’s wrong?” Lily asked on the phone, she began to get curious and I knew she would be worried.

“Lily I wish you were here, I miss you so much!” I cried

I waited for her response so I could tell her clearly what had happened but for some reason the words just didn’t want to escape my mouth.

“Hayley, tell me what happened!” Lily questioned me with a harsh tone.

“Lily…Drew’s …cheating on me,” I gasped as I told her, it felt like my world was going to erupt.

I began to cry as Lily was silenced on the phone for a few seconds, until finally she spoke.

“Hayley, OH MY GOSH im so sorry I wish I was there with you right now, I HATE HIM!” she yelled on the phone.

I wiped my tears away and put my hair behind my ears.

“It’s not your fault Lily, I wish you were here too … what do I do?” I asked her as confusion was running through my mind.

I knew if I got too emotional Lily would fly down to San Francisco just to see me, so I calmed myself down and talked to her quietly on the phone so I wouldn’t wake Drew up.

“Hayley kick him out of your house, destroy him, get rid of him and make sure he remembers it!” she yelled with a harsh tone.

The last thing I wanted to ever do was hurt someone but Drew hurt me so I had to get some kind of revenge.

“Lily…what shall I do?” I asked her as I tried seeking for answers.

“Are you kidding me, Hayley kick him out of your house first!” she told me with a heavy tone and a sigh.

I didn’t want to physically hurt him but kicking him out of my house sounded fun. No more nice girl.

It was around 11:30am and I was stood outside in my lawn where I had pilled Drew’s clothes and all of his stuff including the necklace he had brought me, he walked outside yawning as he had just woken up and starred right at me. I smiled at him as I had the matches ready in my hand.

“Hayley what the hell!” he yelled in confusion.

“Don’t even try it; I know every little dirty secret. But you know what… it’s alright and it’s ok!” I told him as I lit the match.
