It has been a week since the day that Kieran found out that he was my brother. No one yet in school knows about this except for my friends and Cole. People only knew that Kieran and I broke up, and they all thought that it was because of Cole.

It was better that way rather than them knowing the whole truth.

All my friends are being supportive and understanding about all of it, but Kieran takes his hatred on me seriously that he visits my house everytime he wants and act brotherly in front of dad but when dad's not around he makes sure that I know he hated me.

I just endured the pain of everything he says or even do, He even sometimes intentionally make out with some random girl infront of me or flirt with them when I'm around. I just acted like I don't careand that I was alright, but deep inside, it hurts so bad that it kept me wake at night and cry.

"I know I hurt him by not telling him the truth but don't he realize that he was not the only one who got hurt?" I'm on my favorite crying place with Zoe.

"He is being his jackass self!" Trying to calm me down.

"Didn't he realize that I hate myself more than he hates me!"

"Maddie, why put up to this when you can just fight back?"

"You know I can't do that, won't ruin dad's happiness." I wiped my tears and stood up the toilet to the sink, I splashed my face with water and pat it dry.

"But look at you! You have been crying in this comfortroom every single day." I looked at the empty comfortroom.

"Well this place kinda grew on me now" I tried to laugh it off.

"But I don't want it to continue anymore, I'm going to talk some sense in him!" She storms out the comfortroom, I tried to stop her but she won't listen.

I followed her to where Kieran was standing flirting with some blonde girl.

"You asshole!" She slaps Kieran "I know you hate her badly but didn't ever occured to you that she's hurting too. I'm so sick of going to the comfortroom just to hear her cry and cry. I have had enough! Man up and stop hurting my bestfriend!" She walked towards me, Kieran didn't say anything he just stood there looking at me. Zoe drag me out of the scene.

I am sitting at the bleachers with Oliver watching Emma as they practice for the big game against Brenshaw.

"I'm sorry Tweety!" Oliver said intertwining our finger together.

"About what bunny?" I gave him a smile.

"For not being the bestfriend you deserve."

"You are, bunny! And always will be." I rested my head on his shoulder.

"No I'm not, I should be sticking up to you against Kieran but.."

"He is also your friend and you understand where his coming from, I know." I finished his sentence.

"But with everything, I just don't want to take sides between you two." he runs his fingers through his hair.

"It's fine, really." I hugged him.

"I'm so so sorry Tweety! I'm trully am." hugging me back.

Cole was coming towards us.

"I'm I interupting something?" Cole jokingly said.

"No!" As i pulled away from Oliver.

"Ready to go?" Cole asks me.

"Yep!" I grab my bag.

"Bye Bunny!" And I waved goodbye to Emma.

After what happened Cole has been so sweet and understanding.
