Picture: Arabella Holind

        West's POV:

        "Holy fuck," Kayden mumbles as he stares at his phone with wide eyes. My best friend looks at Darren and says nervously, "You might want to see this." Darren and I quickly walk across my kitchen to Kayd, where Darren snatches the phone and slowly opens his eyes to look at what has Kayden so freaked out.

        My boyfriend's face turns pale, his eyes going wide and his whole demeanor going stiff. "No," He mumbles, his eyes still wide and unbelieving. I try to take the phone but Darren holds onto it with a crushing grip. "No. No, this can't be. Where would-" He cuts himself off with a gasp. "She wouldn't!"

        Growing impatient, I pry the phone away from Darren and stare at what has him so worked up. My jaw immediately drops and my stomach tightens when I see the image before me.

        There, on Arabella's Twitter, is a picture of Darren and I kissing, already getting comments and re-Tweets. "Oh my God," I murmur, more scared for Darren than myself. "Darr, it's gonna be okay, I promise." I go to give him a hug but he pushes me away, scrambling across the room.

        "No," He whispers, fear shaking his voice. "No one was supposed to know. No one can know! What if my parents find out? What if... What if someone we know sees this and comes here or my house or Sam's? I can't... I..." Darren shakes his head rapidly and begins to back away from my friends and I. "I need some time to think... I'll call you when I have everything settled, okay? I'll come to you, don't come to me."

        With that, he quickly walks away from us, the front door slamming as he leaves. My father soon walks into the kitchen with a confused look etched on his face. "What was that about?" He asks, his eyes darting between the three of us. After the little incident with my dad, he's been trying to be better.

        Trying being the key word.

        With a sigh, I explain what happened. "He's upset and scared and... I'm afraid he's gonna leave me," I admit in a whispery breath. "He says he loves me... But does he love his reputation more? How many people have seen already?"

        Kayden quickly looks back down at his phone and says softly, "A lot..."

        Sam, who was quiet this whole time, lets out an aggravated growl. "What the fuck is wrong with that girl? Is she that crazy?! I mean, to ruin a guy like that just for revenge is fucking stupid!"

        I nod my head sadly and scrub at my face, pissed off and upset all at once. "What the fuck... I mean... What if- Shit!" Quickly, I pull out my phone and dial the number of the one person who could have possibly helped Arabella. Waiting for said person to answer, I growl, "I'll kill him if he helped in this."

        "Hello?"

        "Did you help?" I growl while pacing my kitchen. "I swear to fucking God, Xzavier. If you helped Arabella at all I'll kill you."

        There is a second of silence before Xzavier answers. "What are you going on about, Westen?" He says, his voice bored as hell and slightly angry. "I have no idea what you're talking about. What happened, are you okay?"

        "Don't play coy, Xzavier, I know you have something to do with this-this picture!" I cry angrily, my finger nails biting into the palms of my hands. "Please just tell me if you did, I won't be that mad... I'm just scared for Darren is all."

        Xzavier sighs. "I honestly have no clue what picture you're talking about, West," My ex's voice sounds tired and honestly upset. "If you want to interrogate me, now isn't the time. My dad just got sent to the hospital because of a heart attack, I'm there now. Call back later and we can sort this through, yeah?" 

        Immediately, my heart clenches at the sound of Xzavier's voice which cracks every so often and is full of sorrow. "Okay, I'm sorry about your father. Give your family my best wishes," Xzavier thanks me and we both hang up, leaving me slightly upset for my ex.

        Kayden gives me a questioning look to which I brush off and sigh. "I'm going to go talk to Darren," I tell my friends, ignoring the are-you-stupid looks they are giving me. "Just leave when you want, okay? I'll talk to you guys later."

        ~~~

        The ten minute drive to Darren's house was nerve-wracking. Absolutely nerve-wracking. I was shaking the whole time, my palms were sweating and I couldn't stop thinking of what would happen when Darren sees me.

        Will he be mad I didn't listen? Will he be happy to see me? Questions float through my mind and give me a major headache, it growing as I see cars in Darren's driveway.

        One of the cars looks familiar, and I can tell that it's Arabella's.

       Quickly, I launch myself from my car and knock on the Hart's, waiting antsily for someone to open up. Inside, I can hear screaming- Darren's voice booming.

        When the door opens, a wearily smiling Mrs. Hart stands in the doorway, her eyes tired. Her eyes scan over me, and as if something clicked, a scowl replaced the smile. "It's you," Darren's mother hisses, venom practically leaking from her mouth.

        "Uh, hi Mrs. H," I say awkwardly and try to peak into the house only to be blocked by Mr. Hart. "Mr. Hart, nice to see you too."

        Mr. and Mrs. Hart glare at me with such hateful looks that I had to look away. The next person to come is Darren, a pissed off and angry look on his face. When he sees me, though, his face instantly softens, but his eyes still hold an almost resentful look.

        "West," Darren says stiffly, his body tense. "I told you not to come here, yet you did. I'm busy right now, when I'm done I'll come get you." With that, Darren slams the door shut, leaving me outside all alone.

        Well... That went great.

        Darren's POV:

        "West," I say, trying to keep my temper as I stare at my boyfriend. "I told you not to come here, yet you did. I'm busy right now, when I'm done I'll come get you." Without listening to another word West has to say, I close the door and let out a long sigh.

        My mother and father stare at me with a sad look, my father placing a hand on my shoulder. "Son, I promise you that boy won't bother you again," He promises. "You aren't gay."

        I let out a growl and push my dad away, a glare set on my face. "You're right, I'm not gay. But I am dating West."

        My parents give me a disgusted look but I ignore it and storm back into my living room, glaring next at the person who caused all of this. "Back to you, Arabella," I growl. "Why the fuck would you do that?!"

        "I told you!" My ex yells back, her tiny hands clenched tightly into fists. "Because you dumped me for that stupid queer! What, you like dicks now? Just the week before you were moa-"

        I wave my hands, stopping the dirty words from coming out of Bella's mouth. "Okay, okay! No, I just like West. No other guys. I'm sorry I lost my feelings for you, Bella! I love you as a friend and that's all! Not anymore 'cause you had to be a bitch and send that picture everywhere but I loved you as a friend!" I start to pace my living room, tugging at my hair in absolute anger. "Was your intentions to ruin my life, 'cause you sure as hell did that! How am I supposed to go out without someone I know stopping me to ask if I'm really dating a guy! I can't fucking believe you!"

        My mind wanders to West. I haven't even stopped once to think about how he feels. What if he is hurting as bad as I am? When I closed the door on him, I saw the hurt look on his face, and that hurt me even more so.

        "Just..." I sigh and turn back to Arabella, my anger leaving me all at once. "Just delete the picture please? Please, Arabella. This is killing me, please delete it!"

        Arabella gives me a sinister grin and shakes her head. "Nope. Not until you come back to me," Her evil grin drops into a pleasant smile. "Well, until you do, that picture will be everywhere," She stands from my couch and pats my face. "I'll be waiting." With that she struts out of the room and out of my house, leaving me to stand there in complete shock.

        She isn't going to delete the photo unless I break up with West...

        Xzavier's POV:

        The night West broke up with me, I couldn't sleep. My mind kept churning with ideas on how to get revenge on my ex and that monkey boy.

        I will get West back if it's the last thing I do, but I just needed something to give the plan a little push. That push came the next morning when a knock came from my front door.

        When I open the door, I smile at my visitor. "I should've expected this," My smile grows as I step aside to let Arabella inside. "Please, do come in."

        Arabella gives me a tiny smile and steps into my home, her eyes going wide. "Wow, you have such a beautiful home," The brunette says softly.

        "Thank you, love," I smile back at her and guide her into my living room, where we both sit and discuss the one thing we both want.

        Revenge.

        "So I'm guessing you know Darren broke up with me for West," I nod my head so Bella continues. "Okay... Well, I have a picture of West and Darren kissing. I told them I wanted one because they look cute" Arabella rolls her eyes and pretends to gag. "when really I just wanted it so I can send it to everyone. This will help for both of us, so I was wondering if you could maybe take some pictures of them as well?"

        Arabella pulls out her phone and shows me the picture, my heart hurting and my breath getting caught in my throat. Why did I actually have to fall for him? I wasn't supposed to like him, it was just for his virginity! But now... Now I'm actually in love with West.

        Nodding my head, I smirk wickedly. "Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it," My heart clenches again at the thought of West and Darren together. I get up and grab us two drinks, raising my glass. "Here's to revenge."

        "To revenge," Arabella smiles and cheers' me.

        Next step, get pictures and post them everywhere.
