It all started with a bet. She didn't know at the time what it would cost her, when she took it. She thought she'd never fall in love with him. All she had to do was make him fall in love with her. Simple, right? Wrong. The 50 dollars that she got wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth all the lies she fed him. It wasn't worth him ending up in the hospital. It definitely wasn't worth losing him. Caitlyn sighed and looked down at her cheerleading uniform. It wasn't worth losing herself over a stupid bet. It had all happened so fast that she didn't even know what she had until it was gone. Until he was gone. It wasn't supposed to last as long as it did. It was supposed to last maybe a month then she was going to dump him. He just made it so hard to dump him. With his smile, his sparkling eyes, and his amazing personality. It took her many days to realize that she never really wanted to dump him in the first place. Mitchie had told her he was a jerk, but after spending time with him day after day, minute after minute, Caitlyn leaned more and more about Nate Black. He had to be a jerk. He never knew if someone was his friend to suck up to the star quarterback, or if they wanted to get to know him just to be his friend. Caitlyn can't stop the tears from rolling down her face. If she hadn't made that bet with Mitchie, he wouldn't have gotten mad and walked away from her. He never would have gotten into a car accident. Tears poor down her face like rain. Never stopping. Never slowing down. Her sobs come softly at first, but they speed up and she can't help it. He couldn't be here could he? Fighting for his life all because of her? All because she made that stupid bet. Her best friend came through the door at that moment.
No one saying a word. Mitchie engulfs her friend in a giant hug.
"He's going to be okay, Cait." She whispers softly.
Caitlyn's tears continue to roll down her face as she continues to blame herself.
