Best Friends Forever... Part 8

After a while, the boys gave up the act and moved on to other things. I heard one mutter an insult under his breath about me. I ignored it because I wasn't there for them.

As the sun started to get low on the horizon, I stood up and went to retrieve Nikki. Being the only one with a car between us, I was her ride back home. Plus Trevor had been getting increasingly handsy around her as the day had gone by, so I figured it was a good time to go.

Only... she didn't want to go back with me.

Trevor had his usual stupid grin as she told me to go on ahead without her. I insisted I wasn't leaving her with him. She started to get mad, saying I'd been rude to everyone else all day. I tried to explain I was trying to protect her, but the words weren't coming out right.

Trevor tried to interrupt, but I told him to shut up and stay out of it.

It only made things worse. There was some yelling and then afterwards she just got into his car and left me there.

I think I cried the whole drive home.
