On Monday
Jake's POV.
_____

I laid on my bed, my room completely dark.

I had been in my head for the rest of the weekend, and I didn't even want to leave my room-

So much to the point that...I called in sick at school.

I know, I know, that's not a good thing...But it's not the first time?

Drew's the smart one, not me!

Speaking of Drew...

I just couldn't believe he would leave me like that...

All because of his reputation?

Did his reputation matter that much more than me..? The person he'd known since freshman year?

I had so many question running through my mind.

I'd this how he felt when I chose the club over him?

Should I have waited for him?

Was I too hard on him?

But most of all...

Was there actually another reason he didn't want to tell me..?

I shook away the thought.

Why would he even lie?

Unless it was that bad...

I sighed and grabbed my phone for the first time after me and Drew's fight.

I powered it on and watched as all the notifications flooded in.

I went to my messages, just in case I missed a text from Drew.

I saw a notification beside our chat, but when I clicked it...Nothing was there.

"He must've deleted it..." I murmured.

I went to my other texts, and saw that Hailey had texted me 126 times.

I sighed, realizing I forgot about rehearsals.

I clicked me and Haileys chat, and immediately looked at her latest message.

It read...

"I'm coming over now."

And that was...20 minutes ago?!

I quickly sat up and started typing a message to tell her not to come.

But...Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.

"Heyy! Unlock the door! Mom said you can't do that anymore!" I heard Milo shout.

"Go away Milo, I'm busy!" I shouted back.

"Too bad! Your girlfriend is here!"

"Girlfriend..?" I murmured.

Then it clicked.

"Hailey...Tell her to leave, I'm busy!"

Then, somehow the door opened.

"Busy with what? Rotting in your room?" A female voice asked.

I looked up from my phone and saw Hailey standing there, a bobby pin in her hand.

Shit..

Milo stared up at her.

"How do you know how to open a door with a bobby pin..Creep alert!"

Hailey just ignored him.

Milo rolled his eyes and walked off, grumbling.
