´óÏó´«Ã½

I slowly walked outside, since I had seen Jenny go out there earlier while I was dancing. As I passed the wall, I could hear Jenny laughing and then go quiet. I tiptoed quickly but quietly to where I had heard it, near the rose bush. And I saw the most horrific thing ever. It was Jenny, but there was someone else with her. Him. John. My boyfriend, kissing Jenny. I just couldn't believe my eyes. Suddenly, they looked up.
'Look, I can explain,' Jenny said, scrambling to her feet.
I started to run as far and as fast away from there as I could.
I ran faster through the dark roads as Jenny tried to catch up with me. I kept running and running like my life depended on it, with my heart beating crazily. When I got home, I ran to my room, and, when the phone rang, my step mom came in and said;
'Your friend Jenny is on the phone. She sounds like she's been running.'
Jenny's on the phone. 'Jenny. I hate Jenny. She has ruined everything. Some friend.' I thought.
'Tell her I'm not here,' I said, trying to keep my voice level. Sal, my step mom, looked at me and frowned.
She told Jenny that I was out, and I started to cry into my pillow.
'What's wrong honey?' Sal asked shocked. 'Have you two had an argument or something?'
'I saw her kissing John!'
'Your boyfriend? She wouldn't!'
'I saw her!' I insisted. I told her of the horrible night. How Jenny and John had been making eyes at each other all the time, and John had even brought her a drink and not me! Sal was very supportive and nodded and gasped and said 'No!' in all the right places. Then I cried harder as I saw them actually kissing. Sal pulled me close and hugged me tightly. I wiped my eyes and Sal cheered me up and made me hot chocolate and brought up biscuits. 'Thanks Sal. You know just what to do.' I smiled sadly.
'You don't need them. What about Melanie? Can't you be her friend?'
'I suppose. Yeah. I will. Thanks.'
'Now. Bed. It's past midnight!' Sal stood up and picked up my empty cup. 'Night.'
'Night Sal.' I yawned and started to undress. After brushing my teeth and combing my hair, I climbed into bed. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
As the morning dragged on I lay in bed as tears flowed down my cheeks, when I had the power to get up it was nearly one o clock, I felt so bad I could still see that night go over and over again in my head, at one point I felt like screaming but I didn't as Sal was with me watching movies all day, as the more movies we had seen and the more I felt better to forget it, as it was Sunday we also chat to my other mates down at the club I always went to, but another thing was I knew my so called friend was going to be there, although I didn't want to go that night but Sal thought I could maybe try to talk to other friends there.
So that night we walked there slowly up the road and to the local church hall as we turned into the car park I saw her getting out of her dads car,
I smiled at her dad as we knew him well but not at her and passed her looking ahead,
Sal quickly muttered.
'Just don't look at her, and focus on anything else.'
We went in and as I signed in the book, Sal went to the kitchen as she worked there usually, I started to enjoy myself until I went out to watch the boys play footie out in the courtyard as it was still light, me and Nat, another mate I knew well from school, stood my the wall and chatted like for ever, after a few minutes Nat went to the kitchen to get some drinks, while she was gone, Jenny decided to come where I was, as she got near she said in a down tone,
'hey, about the last night,' I interrupted her and snapped 'what about the last night, you stole john and what's to say.'
she carried on 'I know last night was bad.'
I interrupted again in anger ' Last night was bad , you don't know the half of it do you? how would you feel if did it to you? Yep the same as I do now'
' I know I know, it just happened, between me and john'
'It just happened! Getting off with your best mates boyfriend is 'it just happened' how could you, you knew he was off limits,'
At that moment Sal appeared 'So why can't leave Lou alone after all she doesn't want to speak to you, since you went and did the dirty'
'You know, about last night.' Jenny was surprised as ever
'Of course I do, I am family to Louise, your so called best friend!'
As she slowly walked away and into the building she said
'I know I've done wrong.'
I shouted to her as I stood with Sal by the wall.
'Of course you have!'
As the night carried went on, for the rest of the evening I played footie with most of the boys and two other girls that joined in just for a laugh.
When dad picked up me and Sal later that evening, I had to act and put on a nice and cheerily face on or so I thought, so we got in the car and drove home when dad started saying
'So you ok then?'
'Of course I am.' I could tell dad knew I was lying as I sat in the back of the car while he drove
'Oh ok .' he said as he keep driving along the road as it was dark that night after club.
When we got home I went straight up to bed, to void dad, or so again I thought, when I started to read in bed he knocked on my door and came in.
'Knock knock'
'yeah'
'Louise can I come in I need to talk to you before you go to sleep'
'Of course, dad'
He came in and sat on my bed near the head board,
'Look , I know about the John situation'
'Do you?'
'Yeah because well, Jenny explained to me at work'
'Why? I could of told you myself'
'She told me about it because she thought that it would be important at that time'
'Well couldn't she trust me, me, To tell you myself' as I grabbed my pillow.
'I know, I know.'
'Well, I would have in my own time dad promise.'
'And I know about that as well.' 'look just try and stay away from her but hang around other mates you have at college like Melanie'
'I know dad.'
'Good night then Lou.'
'Goodnight Dad.'
He went out the room and went down stairs to where Sal was, I lay in bed and fell asleep feeling angry at her.
I thought 'why did she go behind my back telling dad for, I was going to tell him myself wasn't I? why did john suddenly find no interest in me but in her, couldn't he tell me the truth and say 'lets be friends.' At this point I wanted answers from both of them.
