Synopsis:
SarahBeth Pearson has made mistakes,
and I might just be the biggest one of them all. After spending months keeping
secrets and lying to everyone close to us, it’s all
fallen apart and we are each left alone to pick up the pieces.
I’ve loved SarahBeth in one form or
another her entire life. The steps that brought us closer together weren’t easy
for me to take. After letting her dictate our relationship, I’ve found
myself practically homeless and estranged from my closest friends.
Now I’m left
trying to move on, finding a new place to live and getting everything I need in
order, while she’s trying to mend her broken heart. There’s just
one problem…SarahBeth’s still keeping secrets - and her
secret just might change everything.
Excerpt:
"Isn't that SarahBeth?"
Melanie asks, looking over to where a small blonde and a brunette are running
towards a hallway between stores that leads to restrooms. I jerk around in my
seat, trying to look closer and when I see Tyler watching after them, holding a
purse and a few shopping bags, I know for sure it's them. At my nod, Mel
touches my hand, bringing my gaze back to her earnest one. "Don't you want
to go check on her? Make sure she's alright?"
Do I want to? Yes, absolutely. Should
I? Well, that's another matter entirely. I look back to the corridor they
disappeared through, but don’t see
them any longer. Just when I'm about to tell her no, I don't want to check on
her, Tyler's eyes meet mine and the blatant worry in them has me nodding and
heading in his direction. I don't look back to see if Melanie followed me
because honestly, all I can think about is what could possibly put that look in
Tyler's eyes.
"Is she okay?" It's all I can
do to keep my voice level when I reach him and ask the question I need the
answer to the most.
Tyler's looking everywhere but at me
when he replies, "Yeah mate, she's fine. You can go back to whatever you
were doing now." His voice is hard, it's easy to tell he's not happy at
finding me with Mel, but his feelings aren't what worry me now.
Before I can ask any more questions,
Olivia and Sarah are walking back in our direction. They both stop in their
tracks when they see me standing with Tyler. The moment she notices Melanie
standing next to me her already pale skin loses all color and she begins
backing up, away from our little group. The hurt in her eyes has me moving
towards her before I can even process it. I want to explain myself. When what
I'm doing registers, I stop, trying to keep myself in place, but when her eyes
fill with tears and they overflow, rolling soundlessly down her cheeks, I melt.
Reaching her, I cup her face in my
hands, brushing away the tears as she trembles beneath me. It's the first time
I've really touched her since everything went to shit and having my hands on
her, having her this close to me, I feel like I've come home. Unable to hide
the emotions racing across my face, I let her see just how much I've missed her
as her breath catches in her throat. Her eyes are bouncing back and forth
between mine in disbelief while the look on her face has me aching to touch my
mouth to hers, to pull her into me so I can hold her.
I don't get the chance to do any of
that because at the same time a hand touches my back, SarahBeth sucks in a
breath and steps back, her eyes brimming with tears even while she glares up at
me, betrayal all over her face. I want to explain, to tell her what I'm doing
here with Mel, to reassure her that it's not what it seems, but in the back of
my head I think this is a good thing. I want her to let go of me, to begin to
move on, to find someone that deserves her. Letting her think I've replaced
her, no matter how much it hurts us both, is probably for the best.
"Wait SarahBeth," Melanie
begins as I step away from her touch. Instead, I grab the hand that was on my
back and link our fingers together, this draws both her eyes and SarahBeth's.
Mel's looks confused, but SarahBeth's guts me. She stares at our linked hands
with an expression that's a cross between fury and despair before swiping her
hands across her cheeks to brush away the few falling tears, and meeting my
gaze head on.
Her eyes are sparking with a fire I
haven't seen in so long that I'm almost relieved. As she straightens her spine
and holds her head high. she turns to Mel and smiles. Just barely tipping the
corners of her lips up her smile is clearly fake but there nonetheless, she
says, "It's fine really. I'm glad he has someone." Mel starts to
speak up, but SarahBeth keeps her eyes on me as Olivia walks up beside her,
puts an arm around her shoulder and glares at me. If looks could kill...that
girl hates me. She starts to say something in her ear, but Sarah shakes her
head. "There's nothing to say. I'm done with this," with that said
she scoots out from under Olivia's arm and turns her back on me, this time I'm
sure for good, and leaves me to watch her walk away from me this
time.
Tyler hurries to walk after them,
muttering, "You're a bloody idiot mate," as he passes me. He doesn't
get far before he stops, turns around and glares at me, much like Olivia did.
"If you only knew..." he shakes his head, "Well, that would have
gone a lot differently." I don't get the chance to ask him what he means
before he heads after them, dropping an arm across each of their shoulders and
handing the bags he was holding to Olivia.
