I don't even know why, but I was up at six in the morning, finding my hands making coffee for my dry throat. I took a sip of the warm concoction as it traveled down my throat, warming up my insides.

I sighed and leaned my elbows on Andrew's kitchen counter, playing all the details out that happened last week. It's been a week since Soda told me he was supposedly back with Sandy, and Andrew's been acting weird ever since then.

I bit my lip and went through what happened one more time. Soda looking highly upset, me running to Andrew and him not comforting me as he usually does. It's like he... knew it.

I slammed my mug on the counter and busted through his bedroom door, making it crash against the wall. He jumped out of bed, furrowing his eyebrows. "Dakota, what the hell?"

I started laughing constantly. "You better tell me what's going on between you and Soda right now, or I will kill you!"

The same guilty expression washed over his face and he sighed, patting the spot beside him for me to sit. "I don't want to tell you without him, so I'll go call him and tell him to meet us by the river."

I didn't even say anything to him. I just stood up and watched as he buried his face in his hands, regretting what he's going to tell me.

I wrapped my jacket around me as the chilly November air stung at my cheeks. Andrew hasn't spoken a word to me ever since I left the room. We continued walking towards the river and I saw Soda's figure standing there, watching us with an uneasy look on his face.

We stopped right in front of him and I took a deep breath. "Go ahead. Tell me now what you couldn't tell me then."

Soda and Andrew shot each other a quick glance, as if to say good luck to each other. Soda inhaled deeply and started to tell me the whole story, me listening the whole time with my mouth dropped.
