Jes

“I can’t believe he cheated! I can’t believe it! After all we’ve been through how can he use Kenzi just cause he’s lonely?”
I was trying hard not to cry in front of my best friend, buddy. Brother, Austin. He is always there for me when I need him.
“You don’t need him Jes just let Dylan go.”
I looked at him like he was insane.
“You clearly don’t know what I’m going through.”
He shrugged and said “Says you.”
Then I smiled. He can make me do about anything when I’m around him. I wonder why. That’s when Dylan walked over to Austin and said “What’s your arm doing around my girlfriend?!?!” That’s also when I had enough. I jumped up in front of Dylan and said in my coldest voice, “I am not your girlfriend anymore Dylan. You walk up to Austin after I caught you with McKenzie and expect to have me back.”
“H...h...H... how did you know about Kenzi?”
I just glared at him and turned around to Austin.
“Will you take me home now please?”I’m only 15. Austin is 16 with his driver license.
“Sure Jes. Meet me at my car, here are the keys. I’ll be there soon.”
I walked away looking confused.
