I must apologize for the long wait school started and I took a little time to try and find out how i wanted to this story to go. I had avoided doing dramatic things because I didn't think I was good enough to write characters and situations like that. However i'm finally ready to try! And one more thing, this is going be a wall of text, every time i tried to go in to get pictures I'd have to leave or it would shut off on me, and I am way to excited to wait to update. Hopefully I can tell this story without pictures, we'll see how this goes.

Betrayal
It all started when that new family came to town. Ashley and James became quick friends. You could always find them together, whether it be as simple as meeting up to do homework, or babysitting Ashley's younger siblings. Where there was one, there was the other. Miranda got lonely, but she pushed it aside. She would just dive into the toddlers training. And with James gone she had to teach both kids. Miranda never thought that maybe they weren't just doing homework and babysitting. Initially it was her classmates at school who placed that doubt in her mind. She got a job at the bookstore to get her mind off of it.And it was working, for the time being. Miranda would just push the thought away, but it did get to her. She kept telling herself she wasn't the jealous type, James needed to branch out, they both did. She got overtime hours at the bookstore, and hung out with her coworkers and friends at the park. But she felt empty, it was like James was her other half, and her other half was gone. She thought that pushing herself to work harder at school and at work would work. Maybe she would be too distracted to think about it. But at night was the worse, where she was left to herself to think. Her mind took control and put devastating images in her head. Eventually she had to know. She chased down James as he was leaving the house and practically begged him to play chess with her.
"Ok, but not for long. Maybe half a game."
They were spending time together, but Miranda couldn't help but feel as if James didn't want to be there.
Finally she broke, she had to ask.
"James, are you and Ashley doing more then just homework when your over there?"
"Depends on what you mean. I mean sometimes we order pizza."
"Like cuddling" she stuttered as the said the next words, "I mean you don't have to answer that if you don't want to, I totally understand ya know if you don't want to."
"What did you think we were doing?" he asked, "Of course we were cuddling."
Miranda slowly stood up, tears welling up in her eyes, but soon all those tears were gone and anger filled her eyes.
"How could you be so stupid!? You're a level six in the logic skill and yet you don't realize you just admitted to me that you cheated on me!"
"Wow Miranda, calm down hun its no big deal, don't be selfish."
And that was the straw that broke the camels back. Miranda ran off, she didn't know where she was going, but as long as it was away from him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In James' mind it was no big deal. Miranda was just being selfish. Soon enough she would learn she was wrong and she would come crawling back to him. He knew she wouldn't stay mad, how could she? He was a hotshot that everyone loved. Nobody could stay mad at him for long.
He was irresistible. But for the time being he would be hanging with one of his other lady friends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But in Miranda's mind it was all his fault. It was his choice, his own free will. Nobody could make him do that. And nobody had hurt Miranda as much as James did. She treated Ashley and James the exact opposite. When she saw Ashley at school she would smile and wave. And when she saw her at the bookstore she would ask her how she was doing. As much as she would've liked to ask her if she and James were still hanging out, she resisted. With James she knew it was all his fault. He knew the new girl in town would fall for him, how was she to know he was taken? Miranda got the urge to to hurt James whenever she saw him, but she didn't want to, she grew up with him, he was her best friend. So she would ask for errands to run and do random jobs around town whenever he was home. And whenever she was home she was in her room, bawling her eyes out. Miranda assumed that their plan for university together was out of the picture, which made her cry even more, it was to be perfect. He ruined it. And what was James doing? Oh he was living his life as if nothing had happened. Not a care in the world. Well except for that test in Algebra tomorrow.
"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. It comes from friends and loved ones."

Ugh, now I feel horrible for Miranda. Anyways, there is my first dramatic chapter! I hope it's not too bad considering I had no pictures. But don't worry, next update will have pictures. And how do you guys like my new writing? I read many other stories on my break and decided to dive into describing how they feel, and I love it! Feels like a different story!
