Second Chances

Prologue

-picture of Grace

With tears ready to fall I drive back to my apartment. I am completely and utterly broken.
What have I done? I just turned away from my best and only friends. The first people to take me into their group when wemoved here my sixth grade year. The same people that comforted me when my mom took off and held me tight when my dad passed away a few years ago. The friends that stood by me when I took in my sister at eighteen, and helped me as I started college to become a nurse.

Now two years later I've turned away. Why? Because I'm in love with all three of them. Because I couldn't keep my feelings in check and I refuse to tear apart their friendship.
I arrive back at my apartment and holler out for Brittany. There is no answer, so I head to my room and let the tears fall as I lay on my bed.

After a while I feel the bed dip, then Brittany is behind me hugging me.
"I don't know what happened but I'm here," she says. I'm unable to speak so I just nod and feeling exhausted, I fall asleep.

Waking up, I can hear voices in the other room. When I manage to pry my eyes open, I stand close to my bedroom door and an all too familiar voice sounds.
"Please Brittany, we need to talk to her" Aiden pleads.
"If she wants to talk to you she will call you, but right now she doesn't, so go on home." Brittany replies. When I hear the door click shut I go back to my bed. I'm sitting on my bed when she returns.
Sitting down next to me she asks "So you wanna tell me what's up?" I sigh, but tell her from the beginning whathappened and how I feel. When I finish she looks stunned momentarily before she hugs me. "I think you should tell them," she says.
"Brittany, please just don't, I know you think the best of everything, but your only 17" I say leaning away.
She shrugs and let's it go.

Aiden :

That was bullshit! I honestly can't believe that Grace just spewed bullshit as us. Ten years of friendship down the drain like it didn't even matter, like we didn't matter. We all had been to hell and back and she walked away from it all. No let me rephrase that, she ran away.
Taking with her my heart, the hearts of my best friends, and all of our futures.
I'm at a complete loss.
We need a plan and quick. I'm not losing her.

Logan:

Grace walked away and didn't even glance back. This wasn't was supposed to happen. It was supposed to be the four of us forever, no one ever walking away.
After ten years of friendship, today it was supposed to be the start of so much more.
What the heck went wrong? Why did she leave us? I'm torn right now and taking a glance at my two companions, they seem to be too, if the look on their faces is any indication.
With good reason. We are all in love with the girl that just turned away from us. We didn't even get a chance to say anything or stop her. She took off right after she finished telling us she no longer had time for us and didn't want to be friends anymore.
"Fuck, we need to go after her!" I say suddenly, surprising myself and my two best friends.

Kyle:

I sink into my chair. Today has been, well in all honestly,today has been shit.
Today Grace turned her back on us like we were nothing more than gum on her shoe.
Am I angry? Yeah, but more than that I'm heartbroken. She took the key to my heart when she left today. It was supposed to be the day we told her everything. That we all wanted more than friendship with her and that we all were in love with her. Today was supposed to be the start to our forever.
Instead she fucking walked away, and when we went to try to talk to her she didn't fucking want to see us. Who the fuck does that? Not the perfect girl that is Grace, that's for sure.
I sigh and look around at the house I share with Logan and Aiden. There are pictures everywhere, pictures with her in them, pictures she had hung to make our place more homely. What do we do now? Running my fingers through my hair I'm at a loss. Because right now, all I do is hurt.
