    Bailey''s pov


    Hearing my words, Mira spins around, her eyes narrowing. " Did you just call me a hypocrite?"


    I nod, crossing my arms as I lift my chin up in defiance. " Yes. And I meant it. You are and you know


    that Mirabe. You know I am right."


    Mira gasped, looking outraged and stormed towards me, her eyes narrowing into slits of rage. I am


    not fazed by her reaction and stand still, waiting for what she would no doubt spit at me. " And how


    am I a hypocrite Bailey!? Prey tell, since you know so much about being a hypocrite."


    " You''re angry at me for keeping my rtionship with Kaleb away from you, yet, Mira you did the


    same thing. You''re not telling the full truth here. Especially to Kaleb. You''re keeping something from


    him too. "


    Mira snorted, looking around in disbelief beforeughing in fake amusement. " Keeping something


    from Kaleb? What is that? Becausest I checked I''m not you! I don''t keep secrets!" she snapped at


    the end, breathing loudly.


    Still, even with all her anger, I now understood why she was so mad. She thought Kaleb stole me


    from her and this was her way of showing how angry she was about it. But the thing with Mira was


    that she could never see passed other peoples faults and never saw hers.


    Like now. She didn''t want to admit her jealousy and anger towards her brother. She didn''t want to


    cope with knowing she was that kind of person. And I get that. I get that fully.


    " Ryan." I said without batting an eye. " You like Ryan. I could have seen it at the party, and I know


    so don''t try to paint the oblivious card with me. It won''t work."


    Mira grows quiet, her eyes void of emotion before she utters. " The difference between us Bailey is


    that Ryan and I did nothing behind you or Kaleb''s back. We flirted at the party and that was it. And


    sure we nearly kissed but nothing happened except for that dare!"


    Letting out a huff she red. " And of course Kaleb knows about that, the entire school knows. So


    no Bailey, I hid nothing from the both of you. In fact I was nning to tell you I like Ryan the night of


    the sleepover but of course I got a little surprise myself."


    " Mira-


    " Save it. You trying to make me feel as though I went as low as you to keep secrets is a bitchy


    move Bailey. I don''t want to talk about this anymore and I sure as hell don''t want to be breathing the


    same air as you right now." She seethed, whirling around to open the door once more.


    " There you go again acting like a child! Will you stop running Mira! For god sake will you let our


    years of friendship go down the drain for this!?" I snapped, my hands curling into fist at my sides as


    I shoot her with angry daggers.


    I was frustrated. Angry and defeated. " Why can''t you be happy for us!?"


    Mira doesn''t stop or turn around but I know she heard me when I yelled. " I meant it Mirabe. I


    can''t keep fighting for a friendship if you''re not willing to meet me halfway."


    My shoulders slumped when she disappeared and my heart clenches in pain knowing that this may


    have been thest words we said to each other. Thest time we ever stared at each other longer


    than a minute. Though it hurt me badly, I can''t keep beating myself up about choosing Kaleb.

    I can''t just throw away the love I had for Kaleb. Not when every day he shows me how much he


    adores and treasures me. I can''t let this feeling go, nor do I want to. I love Kaleb. And I''m growing to


    love him more and more each day.


    It''s practically impossible to let him go now. Not when he had branded himself into my heart and


    marked me. Not when I know I own his too. Not when this feeling only grows. Not when I know. So if


    I lose Mira for that feeling I may only get once in a lifetime.......then so be it.
