Our Fight

Hannah was still gone, but Owen and Jacob stopped fighting when I sat down. They both looked at me. Except for Owen who glared and hissed, “Sofia you need to stop this and pick one of us.” I gaped at him and studdered, “Wha-what?” I glared as we all noticed Hannah walk back. As she sat, Owen turned and said, “Hon the 3 of us need to talk in private. We’ll be back.” We stood up and walked out to the parking lot as she sat still. I leaned against the car as they stood in front of me. “Pick one.” Owen comanded. I glanced at the ground and knew this was coming. I closed my eyes and whispered, “I can’t. Owen you are with Hannah so I guess I pick Jacob.” Jacob smiled but Owen pressed on, “But you don’t really like him! You like me! I saw it in her eyes the minute I said I was with Hannah!” I yelled, “But that’s just it isn’t it? You’re only with Hannah because of me! You are using her! Which means you could use me too!” He screamed back, “That’s different!” Jacob inched away silently as our fight continued.
