Chapter Four: Official breakup

Jennys Pov 


When Tyler opened the door before I had knocked my heart dropped and I started to get weird butterflies in my stomach.
I asked him if I could come inside so we could talk. He nodded and let me in. We went into his room and sat on his bed. He asked me what's up and I told him, “Look do not even try to deny you have not been hooking up with Emily behind my back. We already talked. I do not understand why you did it. If you had feelings for my best friend you could have told me. Yes I would have been hurt but it's better than cheating. Now you are free to be with Emily. No hard feelings. I will not be friends with you. But me and Emily are still friends just because I do not want our long term relationship to go down the drain over some guy. We have been best friends since preschool, and I am not going to just throw that away. Now can you explain why you did what you did?” 

Tyler took a deep breath and said to me, “because I was scared to tell you. I thought it was just lust. I did not think I had feelings. I just know that I do love you but I also love her. But I do not think I can have a relationship with her because I still want you. Can we just move on and be together? I promise me and Emily are done.” I was shocked he had the audacity to say that! I was wondering if he was just dumb or deaf because we are done. I do not date cheaters and to just dump Emily like she some piece of trash like come on. I looked at him with a glare and said, “No we are not getting back together you cheated. I am not going to let you treat my best friend like a piece of trash. You at least give her an explanation on why you don't want to pursue a relationship. Now if that's all you had to say I am leaving. I promised my grandma I will be home by 6:30ish!” 

I went out of his bedroom and out the front door, got into my car and drove home. I pulled into the driveway and I looked to my right and I saw that there were new people moving next to the stairs. I get out of the car and pop my trunk to  get my stuff. As I was closing the trunk I saw this guy about my age get out of the car. He had brownish hair that was like a messy shaggy look, really tall, had a leather jacket, band t-shirt, jeans, and hightops. I was just staring like a creep. He must have felt someone watching him because he looked my way and I just did a little wave and ran inside my house. 

I yelled at my grandma Betty that I was home and asked what was for dinner. My grandma Betty always cooks and she is the best cook I have ever known. She replied as I walked into the same room I was in, which was the living room, “I am making pork chops, mash potatoes, green beans, and rolls. The new next door neighbors are coming for dinner. They also have a son about your age. I want you to show him around the school and get him adjusted. He will be going to the same school obviously.” I nodded and said, “Ok will do. I am going to do my homework. I also wanted to tell you that Tyler and I broke up.” Grandma Betty looked at me shocked and asked if I am doing okay. I said I will tell her later what happened. I just don't want to talk about it right now. 


I ran up the stairs, did my homework and I got ready for dinner.
I am very curious about what the boy next door is like.
