Good Girls Are Bad Girls (COMPLETED STORY)

Chapter 24

I can't believe you just stood there yesterday and didn't say anything! You always say something when Brandon and I get into a fight! Why didn't you help me out? I'm glad school's over, now I don't have to worry about getting punched or beat the hell out of by your boyfriend! It was nice knowing you, Sadie. You were a good friend while it lasted. BTW, I still want pics of you and Alexis. I can't stand not looking at you. -Chase

How could he say that and still want to see me? I decided to text him back and answer his questions.

Look, I'm sorry that I didn't stand up for you like you wanted me to. I was shocked at you guys. You guys were acting like.. Like.. 5-year-olds. Fighting over a girl who is taking care of two babies and is having a rough time about having to make a decision of who to live with now that my mom is back. And I didn't help you out because last time, you got mad and tried to rape me. I do always say something when you guys fight, but I didn't feel like it yesterday. I had a lot going on in my mind at the time. I'm sorry, Chase. Brandon only beats you up because of you flirting with me! At least, he thinks that you're flirting with me. But, I still want to be friends! I can't live a day without one of my best friends that have always been there for me when we were little. BTW, I have tons for you! I can't stand not having you as a friend that I can always go to. -Sadie

I never knew that I could let out everything over a text to my best friend. I always thought it wouldn't matter if I didn't stand up for a guy, but no. I get another text from Chase, forgetting about the text from my mom.

I'm sorry, Sadie. I forgot that your mom got out of jail and was in rehab and everything. And... I'm sorry for trying to rape you. I was jealous that you were with someone else. What was going on in your mind? I don't try to flirt with you! It's not my fault that you're so damn hot! I still want to be friends too, but I need to know that you're gonna be there for me when I need you. -Chase

Why did Chase call me hot? He's not supposed to call me hot! He can't call me hot. Not with Brandon in my life.

It's okay. Why would you be jealous that I was with somebody else? There are all these other girls in the world and you choose me? Thanks, for.. Calling me hot, but you can't. Not with Brandon being my boyfriend and being my kids' dad. Chase, I'm always gonna be there for you no matter what happens. And... Just family stuff was going through my mind. -Sadie

I never knew that Chase liked me that much.

I'm jealous because I love you, Sadie! I can't find any other girl than you. You mean so much to me! And... Brandon can't do anything to me anymore. I can call you whatever I want to. -Chase

I can't believe that Chase isn't scared of Brandon with all of the things that Brandon has done to him.

You can find plenty of girls in the world. Do you just not want to? And... Why aren't you scared of Brandon? He has done so many horrible things to you this year. -Sadie

I don't want to find any other girl than you, Sadie! Why can't you understand that? I'm not scared of Brandon because he can't control me! I can love you all I want! All those things that he has done to me, he will pay... For everything. -Chase

I'm sorry, Chase! But, you have to find somebody else. I'm taken as you can see. Brandon can pay, just... don't touch him. I can't lose him... Not with a kid waiting for her father to tuck her in every night and protect her from boys. I've never had a father, Chase. You know that.... -Sadie

I'm not going to find anyone else! He hurt me with physical violence, so why can't I? And, I'm still sorry about your father, Sadie! Do you really think that Brandon is always gonna be there for her when you guys are older and have jobs? Do you really think that he's going to be home 24/7? -Chase

You have to find someone else, Chase! You can't hurt him back, It's not right! Yes, Brandon and I already had a talk about it. And... No. Of course not... He has to work some days. -Sadie

I CAN'T FIND ANYONE ELSE! I TRIED, SADIE! I TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO TRY AND GET OVER YOU, BUT I CAN'T! I have the right to hurt him back! He can't get away with what he's done, Sadie. I'm sorry if you don't accept it, but you're gonna have to. -Chase

Chase... You have to get over me sooner or later. I'm sorry. I don't accept it and I'm not gonna let you hurt him. -Sadie

Fine. Have you gotten over me? -Chase

I can't answer him. I can't tell him a lie. I can't lie to my best friend. I just got him back! I have to lie to him. I have never lied to Chase before. Not even when we were little. I never even thought of lying to Chase. I never would and I never wanted to. I have to lie to him. This hurts me more than it hurts him. He won't even know that I'm lying to him. It'll be fine if he doesn't know, right? I know it's bad to lie, but this is the right thing. I have to say yes. I need him to get over me! This is the right thing to do.

Yes.. -Sadie

I did it. I said it. I lied to Chase for the very first time. And that's when Brandon walked in the room.
