Stuck.

Chapter 4

*David's POV*

"42. It's a pretty interesting number, isn't it? 21 add 21 equals 42. 4 add 2 equals 6. Did you know 42 is the meaning of life? 42 times 3 equals 126. 42 is an even number. It's three minutes off 3 quarters of an hour, which is a pretty long time. 42 minutes. 42 freaking minutes! I go out for 42 freaking minutes and I come back here and find my long-time girlfriend and my best friend making out! On my couch! What the hell is up with that?"

I completely lost control. Kara and Logan looked like two deer caught in a headlight. Two deer making out on another deer's couch, to be exact. Well, I hope they get run over by a freaking truck.

"David, listen. I can explain!" Kara said, tearfully.

"Well, go ahead then! I'm all ears!" I yelled, impatiently. They winced simultaneously.

"I.. it's not what..." she tried to explain, but failed.

"Yeah. That's what I thought. So, how long has this been going on?" I demanded, glaring at them both.

Neither of them answered me. They just stood there with their heads bowed.

"How long has this been going on?!" I shouted. Jeesh, I sounded so angry that I was scaring myself.

"A couple months." Kara whispered.

"And what have you got to say for yourself, Logan?" I asked my alleged best friend. I sounded like an angry dad who's son was just caught smoking and drinking, illegally and was being handed to him by the police.

"I'm sorry, man. I just.. we just fell in love. We didn't know how to break it to you. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. We never wanted you to find out like this. We were gonna tell you." he said, sorrowfully.

"And when exactly were you planning on telling me this? When Kara and I broke up?" I asked, but I didn't get an answer.

"David, I'm so sorry. I loved you, I truthfully did. But then I somehow fell in love with Logan. I know I'm such a freaking cow for leading you on like that. I never wanted you to get hurt. Please, you have to understand that. I'm really, honestly sorry that we didn't tell you sooner, but I'm not sorry for all the time we spent together. I really did enjoy being with you, it just didn't feel romantic. It was more like really good friends hanging out. I feel like I really got to know you and one thing I know about you is that you act hard on the outside, but I know your heart is warm and soft. So, could find it in your heart to forgive me for everything I've done, even though I know I don't deserve it at all?" Kara pleaded with me. She was crying, hard.

"Forgive you? You seriously think that I'm gonna forgive you? You broke my heart Kara. You honestly believe that I would just accept your apology and everything would go back to normal? Well, not only are you a manipulating, cheating cow, you're a stupid one at that! How could you? After everything? And you, Logan! The countless times I've helped you and you repay me by sleeping with my freaking girlfriend?! You both make me sick! Get the hell outta my house and outta my life!" I yelled, everything I felt pouring out.

They rushed to the door, but before Kara exited she turned back and gave me a heart-broken look.

I couldn't believe it. I didn't want it to be true. What the hell was wrong with me? Why does everyone I love leave me? My emotions were all in a blur, a mixing bowl of anger, sadness and God only knows what else. I was so freaking mad. I needed to punch something. I was standing next to a wall, so the logical thing was to punch it. At the time, it seemed logical.

It wasn't.

"OHMYGOD! AH! WHY DID I DO THAT?!" I shrieked at the top of my voice. I cradled my hand in pain.

Anger makes me stupid.
