The next the week was total hell for Mila. Evan was really more lost in his own problems, and he kept looking at her as if any moment she was going to disappear. Selena was agitated because something was deadly wrong with all of them and Jared well...that's where most of all their problems lied.

Jared completely ignored everyone.

He became isolated and deathly silent. He wouldn't talk to anyone even his own sister. He didn't join them for lunch or walked with them dining Classes. The science class that she shared with him spoke volumes he insisted to the teacher to have a new partner and moved his spot to the other end of the classroom way away from her. He wouldn't even look at her. When Class was over he's the first one out.

The whole family became concerned when Jared threw Evan out of his house. Mila wasn't there but Selena had told her that there was so much yelling between the two that they were afraid a full blown fight was going to happen. She felt that all of this was all her fault. Why was he so angry?

On Thursday Mila had had enough.

She went to search for Jared during school lunch to find him doing sit-ups out at the football field with no shirt and only gym shorts. There were a group of girls standing watching him as they giggled and whispering to each other. Jared seemed oblivious to his admires.

Jared Stopped mid-way when he spotted her coming his way and he wasn't ready to talk to her. Every time he looked at her he couldn't get the image of Evan on top of her with her blouse open and them in a heated embrace out of his mind. Rage filled him all over again. But he couldn't lash out at her the way he did with Evan the other night. They had never got into it that bad before and all because Evan had found his college acceptance letter to Oxford in London.

He had sent his reply that very morning stating that he would be there next semester. He was going to go ahead and graduate this year. A year early. He needed to get away from this place, from his best friend, from the girl he was madly in love with, who didn't feel the same way about him.

He got up and grabs his t-shirt and put it back on. It was inevitable so he waited until she finally reached him and stopped five feet away. He wouldn't look at her. Her eyes sparked with annoyance.

"Geeze Jared you could at least look at me." She snaps at him.

"Not really much to look at." he stated and immediately regretted it.

She didn't move an inch, but his retort stung. Why was he being so cruel?

"I'm going to ignore that statement." She grits out.

Not at all how she wanted this conversation to start. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" She yells at him.

He looks at her and gave her a glare. "Me? What the hell is wrong you? I mean what were you thinking?!" He yells back taking a step closer, getting angrier. "I feel like everything I said to you over the years didn't register in that damn brain of yours!"

She was getting heated over his words. "Excuse me but I didn't ask you to be my guardian! My decisions are mine to make and I will do as I damn please!"

"Oh so your decisions is for you to sleep with a guy only after two weeks of being with him huh? Of becoming his damn tramp-"

Jared's cheek Stung from the slap he just received from her. It actually calmed down his temper some. He saw the tears rolling down her face and knew he had emotionally hurt her with his words. And his heart constricted at what he was doing.

"Don't you dare tell me what I can or cannot do..." She says calmly then yells, "You're not my damn brother!"

"Thank god for that!" He yells right back.

They were getting a huge crowd but neither one of them cared.

"You know, you think you're so cool and so awesome\ because everyone here wants to be your friend. You just love all the girls gawking at you and all the boys wanting to be you! Well you know what, I don't want to be your friend!" She screams.

She threw her hands over her mouth not believing she had just said what she did. He stood there frozen. "Jared I... I didn't mean... " She stammered.

He backs away and shook his head at her. "Yeah, yeah you did Mila, so guess what..." he walks past by her and turns around while walking backwards and says brokenly, "You won't have me as friend anymore."

She stood there watching him leave the field. What the hell was going on? Why was everything falling apart? She had just lost one of the most important people to her. She didn't mean to say that at all but then why did it come out? Mila realized all the people still gathered around. She really can't deal with this, all she wanted to do was break down and burst into tears at what had just happened. She needed to find Selena. If there was one person who could make any sense of this was her best friend or her grandpa who was out of town until tomorrow.

She walked away from everyone and ignored someone who called out to her and asks if she was alright. Honestly she wasn't. This was not okay. She just got around the bend of the gym when she collided with Evan.

"Whoa! Hey, I was looking for you." He says.

He took a good look at her. "Hey what's wrong?"

She just looks at him and knew he couldn't comfort her in this. She went to walk away.

"Wait!" he grabs her arm and faces her to him.

He gave her a guilty look and a very sad one. "Look this isn't easy for me to say this...I..." He takes a big deep breath. "I can't see you anymore. I mean I have to break up with you."

She just stares at him. This was not happening to her! He saw the angry look on her face.

"It's not that I'd want too but I have too! Something is going on right now and I think I just need to be alone with this."

Under normal circumstances she world have understood and just tell him it was alight. But she had just lost Jared and now she was losing Evan all in the same day. Without saying a word she walks away from him. She heard him call her name, but she ignore him.

She finally found Selena at one of the benches with Ian. They were laughing about something until she saw Mila and immediately her smile faded. She rushed down the bleachers.

"Mila! What's wrong? What happened?" She asked her, looking at her worriedly.

Mila took one look at her and bursts into tears. Selena became very alarmed. She sat her down on the nearest bench and waved Ian over. He rushed to their sides also worried at her. Selena just held her friend close to her and just let her cry. When Mila cried everything she had inside her she lifts her gaze out at the field where the schools pool was. Selena gave her a few more moments.

"So what happened?" She asked Softly.

Suddenly it all come out about talking to Jared, about the break up with Evan, about going to his house and ending up with her and Evan in a compromising position and Jared walking in on them with the conversation she had with Evan that followed, about the fight that just happened with Jared and at that part Mila began to cry again.

"Okay calm down Mila, what do you mean Jared said you aren't friends anymore? How could you not be?" Selena was livid with her brother. She knew what was really going on with him, but it didn't give him any reason to treat her best friend in this fashion.

"Its my fault Selena, I blurted out that I didn't want to be his friend, but I didn't mean it. I was just so hurt about what he called me and accused me of."

Selena put her arm around her. "Don't worry Mil, we'll figure this out." Mila snapped her head up. "Oh and Evan just broke up with me." she stated flatly.

"What?!" Selena practically yelled.

Mila told her what happened a few moments ago before she sought her out.

"That Son of a bitch!" Selena yelled as she got up pacing with anger. "After he had begged you to stay with him he just turns around and dumps you like a bag of garbage?! Well, you know what, I don't think so! That asshole is going to give me some answers! Come on Ian!" Selena grabs her boyfriend and started stalking off stamping with rage.

"Selena just let it go!" Mila yells after her but she just shook her head and kept walking to where Mila last saw Evan.

She sat there for a few moments wishing her grandfather was here. She could really hear some good advice from a leveled head right about now. She knew Selena could get answers, but she wasn't sure rage and demands was the way to go about this. Touching her fingertips to her warm damp cheeks she tries to figure out how to repair her and Jared's friendship but right now all she could see was more arguments with hurtful words and hateful glares.

Mayhe she should give it a few days before another attempt at conversation with him. Also how was she going to go about with Evan? How was she going to fix whatever problem they had if he refuses to tell her what it is? He's been acting so strange lately and jumpy too. She wasn't really all that upset over the breakup as she thought she would be, and she really didn't know what to make of that emotion.

She got herself up and decided to skip the rest of her classes and go home, besides she didn't think she could handle science class after the huge fight with Jared. Even though she wanted to talk things through with him. The words he threw at her still hurt and when the bell rang to indicate lunch was over Mila walked out the gates and went home.
