I sighed, and kept my mouth shut.
He seemed disatisfied with that. When I walked into the familiar house I was thrilled to see someone else there.
“Hey Cole.” I said overwhelmingly relieved.
“Hey Cyd.” He said smiling. I plopped down next to him on the couch, already feeling better. Cole was one of my best friends.
He glanced at the clock.
“Shoot, I really have to go. My parents are on there way home. Bye Cyd, see ya tomorrow!” He pecked me on the cheek, and ran out the door.
He was gone before I had a chance to respond. Now I was alone with the happy couple.
I would have left, but I had nowhere else to go.
I walked downstairs trying to find them. they were cuddled up on the couch watching some stupid tv show.
I walked over to the cooler and picked up a diet pepsi.
“Hey Cyd.” Amy said, just realizing I was there.
I nodded and huddled up in a corner.
I didn’t catch what happened, but they started kissing.
I buried my face in a pillow that’d been thrown on the ground, and started to cry.
