My heart was racing. God please don’t let it be Jessica. Please don’t be Jessica. I couldn’t live with myself if I knew I broke such a beautiful heart. Oh great, and here come the tears again. I try to calm down as I round the corner. Oh thank GOD!! I could only see the back of the girl, but I knew in an instant that it wasn’t J. I keep walking towards the girl and when I reach her, she turns around. Great … even worse than finding Jessica. Madison. Madison Duarte. The bitch of the school, my ex, and more importantly… Jessica’s best friend. It always baffled me, how such an amazing, sweet girl could be best friends with such a heartless bitch. I suppose there’s good in everyone. Jess must see the little bit in her.

“You fucking bitch.”

“I’m sorry did YOU just call ME a bitch?”

“Yeah, I did. I knew you were no good for J. She deserves so much better than you… So much… Do you think that you could hold onto just ONE just ONE relationship with fucking it up? Or breaking someone’s heart? Huh, do you think that you could do that? How could you do that to her Ashley? I saw you with Spencer so don’t even try to deny it. And when Jessica knows, your ass is fuckin grass.”

“Look Madison… you can’t tell her.”

“Oh yeah? And why the fuck not?”

“First, let’s chill. I know we have a past and you hate me being with Jessica but I love that girl and I would hate myself if I knew I was the cause of her ever being upset. Let alone heart broken. Madison, you can’t tell. I promise I’ll tell her, I swear I will. But please, let me explain myself to her.”

     I don’t know what it was but I saw a look in Madison eyes that I have never seen before. She grew a heart. And I realize why their friends. Madison may be a bitch to the ENTIRE school, but underneath it all, somehow, she cares a lot about Jessica. I won’t be surprised when she tells her, but at least now I know that it’s not about trying to get back at me, she’s honestly lookin out for our girl.
