Ch.7 - Friendships And Relationships

I was laying face down on my bed, obviously I was thinking about what was happening to me ' Do I really like him? I don't want to hurt myself by what I'm feeling. . . And I also don't want to open up to him and then get hurt. . No, I can't hurt myself like last time. . I'll think about this, I'll tell him when I'm 100% sure that my feelings are real. . not just me thinking he's hot '

I heard my phone ring beside me, I grabbed it and read the name of whoever was calling . . . Sandra. . I hope nothing's wrong, I anwsered the call

"Hey. . um. . Can you meet me at the park? The one we always go to, this is something important I have to tell you"

"Sure, be right there"

"Thanks" She didn't sound at all reliefed, more like hurried, and sad

I put on my coat and headed out, as I walked toward the park, I feared the worst, what if she really broke up with her boyfriend? What if she was really heartbroken? What if Marshall really did break her relationship? Oh I'll kill Marshall if he did break her relationship

"Hey kid! Over here!" I heard Sandra yell from were she was sitting down

"Hey!. . So what's up?" I asked her, she fiddled with her fingers before responding

"Um. . Well. ." She took a deep breath

"Ok. . . Your brother might have told you this already but. . he kissed me. ." Tears started to stream down her face

"It's ok take your time to tell me, don't pressure yourself" I told her, so she could calm down

She took a long pause before telling me what she was going to tell me

"He kissed me. . and my boyfriend saw. . and h-he slapped Marshall a-and th-then th-they b-both st-started run-running, m-my b-boyfriend ch-chased M-Marshall. . ." She was crying again, so I let her take her time crying, when she calmed down a bit more, she took a deep breath

"That night, m-my boyfriend. . . s-slapped m-me. . an-and called m-me h-horrible th-things. ." I felt horrible for her, and I didn't know how to respond to this, whos' to blame? Marshall?

"Look, whatever your boyfriend told you that night IS wrong, if he called you ugly, THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE I'VE EVER HEARD, if he called you anything offensive at all, HE IS THE MOST WRONG, YOU are beautiful, YOU are kind, YOU are not anything he said" I told her, wanting to be clear with her

"R-Really?" She asked me, not believing me

"YES, really" I told her, and hugging her

We hugged for a long time, but I had a question for her, a really important quetsion

"Hey um, you broke up with him, right?"

She looked at me and assured me

"Yes, Matt. . I did break up with him"

I sighed with relief, but, something felt. . off, something didn't feel right, when she told me she broke up with her boyfriend. . it didn't feel. . honest. . . but I didn't question her though, she was already going through something that hurt her. .

After a while of walking around, it started raining, I asked Sandra if she wanted to come to my apartment, she hesitated on answering me but when she did answer me she said ' no thank you, I'm fine, I can walk from here to my house ', I told her it was ok, I understood, she probably didn't want to be awkwardly close to Marshall. . especially since their moment happened

When I finally arrived to my apartment, I heard utensils falling from the kitchen, when I walked over to the kitchen I saw Marshall on the floor

"Hey! Marshall! Don't play games with me! Are you hurt?! Please! Talk!" I ran over to Marshall, he had his eyes closed, yet I still could see the sad expression on his face, and he also looked very tired

"m-matt. . p-please. . ta-take m-me t-to m-my r-room. . " He was tired, it's as if he hadn't slept in a week, he was talking with a very weak tone too

"Ok, just hang on" I extended my arm so he could reach it and he could stand up

As we walked toward his room, I took out my wings so I could support him better, my wings couldn't heal anyone but me, but they still helped me carry Marshall

Once I he was laying on his bed, I had one question in my head

' How much do I know my brother? And, how much do I know my friends? '

I was worried now, of how much I knew Sandra, and of how much I knew Marshall

I'm worried, and I don't know what to do
