When I was sure that Grayson wasn't following me I pull out my phone and text Willow and Peyton and Nova asking them where they are. Willow texts back saying that they were in the cafe so I quickly make my way into the cafe and sit down with them

"hey" I say cheerfully Willow smiles at me brightly but Peyton rolls her eyes "what?" I ask her she shrugs "nothing," she says Nova hits Peyton "just tell her," Nova says I stare at Peyton "what?" I repeat she sighs annoyed by me asking

"you finally came crawling back to us when you weren't working out with either of the twins" she says bored I shake my head "that's not what this is" I tell her "honestly you're making a big deal out of nothing" I laugh Nova raises her eyebrows "are we really though?" she asks I look at them all in turn "don't look at me" Willow says before she gets up and leaves the table Peyton points to Willow

"good going" she says I gasp "that wasn't my fault" I say Nova nods "it was we're all upset that you didn't think to come to us about of this" she tells me Peyton nods "we're your friends, Holly, you can talk to us" she says I frown "it doesn't feel like it" I say looking away from them.

Nova sighs "well you can so just tell us what happened," Nova says I turn to her and nods "well back when Grayson and I were dating he'd take me to the same diner every time we went out and the whole time he would be on his phone.

On our one year anniversary he was checking out the waiter so I left the diner. The next day I went looking for him after he didn't text me the night before or that morning and he hadn't met me at my locker like he normally did. I found him in the music room making out with some girl so I broke up with him.

Ethan felt bad and we started to hang out he made me feel better and at first, I saw him as a friend but later I got feelings for him. After a while we started dating he treated me well. On our one month, we told each other that we loved one another.

It felt good until Grayson talked to me and I realized that I was with Ethan because he looked like Grayson and treated me how I wanted Grayson to treat me so basically I thought it was Grayson. I told Grayson all this and he told Ethan who flipped out and broke up with me I flipped out on Grayson now he won't leave me alone and keeps trying to tell me he loves me."

They both take a moment to take in everything. "Well from what I heard you handled the broke up with Grayson well until you went to Ethan." Peyton says Nova nods "I never thought you'd be such a bitch to Ethan like that" Nova says shaking her head

"yeah that wasn't cool" Peyton adds as I'm about to defend myself Nova adds "during all this, you didn't think to tell us? Your best friends?" she asks I shake my head "I wanted to I really did but I was afraid" I say dropping my gaze "afraid of what? this? Holly you've changed and I don't like it" Peyton says I frown

"yeah you have I barely know you" Nova says hot tears trail down my face "I'm sorry things have been hard since my dad left it feels like no one cares about me" I confess Nova shakes her head "this has nothing to do with your dad Holly it's about you" Nova says Peyton nods

"we're sorry about your dad but Nova's right it's not about him everything you did was what you did not what he did so don't blame him" Peyton says I shake my head "I'm not blaming him but that's what changed me" I explain Nova sighs

"no Holly it didn't change you because you were dating Grayson before it's about him" Nova says "when you get over the dolan twins come find us" Nova says getting up from the table "what she said" Peyton says nodding at Nova as she follows her to another table leaving me completely alone.

I get up from the table and walk to my locker feeling worse then ever. If I wasn't alone before I was now. I didn't have my friends support or the twins all I had were my siblings but they weren't here right now. No, they were with their own friends and I was standing by my locker alone feeling like the worse person in the world.
