Chapter 12

�Hey Mike, where are you going so fast?�
Mike stopped in his tracks and turned around to see who was talking. A moment later he was fighting with one of the boys earlier.
He felt that the other boy was much stronger and he knew that he never would win this fight, so he tried to hurt him as much as possible so he wouldn�t be the only one being hurt.
He was still kicking and slapping when he didn�t felt the pain anymore. He looked next to him and saw two boys holding him back.
� Calm down mate�
� I�m calm�
� No, you�re not�
Ritchie was so angry at Mike that he didn�t think about what he was doing. The only thing were he was thinking about was how he could hurt Mike as much as possible and he didn�t care if he would get hurt by it himself.
� Ritchie, calm down!�
He looked angry to J and Scott, who were holding him back.
� What are you doing? Let me go man! Let me beat that asshole up!�
� We don�t let you go before you�re calm�
Ritchie gave his mates an angry look before searching for Mike. He saw that he was held back by Abs and Sean and that they were talking to him.
� Hey asshole!�
Everybody looked towards him, but he didn�t care.
� Next time you hit a girl I�ll beat you up� and there will be no one around to protect you�
� Why do you care so much about her?�
� Why do I care so much about her?!? She�s my girlfriend!�
Mike burst out in laughter and Ritchie looked even angrier.
� Well, know that you�re dating a slut!�
� Excuse me� what did you say?�
� You heard me right, she fucks everybody around her�
� Let me beat you up, you asshole!�
� You can beat me up, but your girlfriend will always stay a slut�
� Mike, stop!�
Ritchie looked to Angela, who was standing next to the other girls and he was surprised to see that she was pale and shaking.
� Why do you want me to stop Angela? Don�t you want your friends to know about your history?�
� Mike��
� Don�t you want your friends to know that you have slept with a lot off boys while you were dating me?�
� Mike, pl�please, don�t say that!�
Angela was biting her lip to not to cry and she was looking down, avoiding her friends looks.
� Angela, don�t take it the wrong way for asking this� but is that true?�
Abs was the only one who dared to ask it and everybody was looking to Angela, waiting for an answer.
� Yeah��
Nobody knew how to react and everybody was staring to Angela, not knowing what to say.
� Look guys�I know that you didn�t expect this answer, but think about it� why do you think I didn�t talk about my past? I�m ashamed of that time and I don�t like it to look back�but I have changed! I�m not like that anymore!�
Angela looked to the others and she was almost in tears. She hoped to get a reaction off at least one of them, but everyone was just staring in disbelieve.
� I have just one question for you all�does anyone believe me?�
She looked to her friends and was shocked to see that everyone was avoiding her eyes.
� Okay then�I think I know the answer�
Angela tried to stay cool and ran off, but the moment she sat down in the car she broke down crying.

Ritchie looked to the others after Angela had run off. He didn�t know if he had to be happy when he saw that everyone reacted the same way as he did. Why didn�t she have said anything? Why hadn�t she told about her past? Not even the smallest thing, she had hidden everything for her friends. She didn�t even told him about Mike.
He was shocked, he wasn�t mad about what she had done, it was her past and it would be wrong to judge about it, but he was mad at her for hiding it. He was her boyfriend and she hadn�t told anything. He wasn�t her boyfriend for that long, so he could forgive her if she had told one of the others, but she hadn�t told one friend. It looked like she didn�t trust them and that shocked him.
Ritchie looked disturbed to Scott who taped him on the shoulder.
� What?�
� Rich man, I know that you�re hurt now, but Angela is probably more hurt, so don�t you think you should go after her?�
� Scott�I know that you don�t mean it wrong, but I can�t, she doesn�t trust us, do you know what that means? My girlfriend doesn�t trust me!�
Ritchie ran off and the others stayed behind, too shocked to say something.
After a while Helena walked to the door and looked to the others.
� I don�t know what we�re still doing here, but I�m going after them to talk some sense in one of them�
She walked to the car and wasn�t surprised to see the others following her.
� Who do you think we should go to visit first?�
� Let�s go to Ritchie, maybe we can make him talk with Angela�
The car left to the boys house and no one was surprised to see Ritchie in the livingroom�crying.
He looked surprised to see his friends standing in front of him.
� What are you all doing here?�
� We decided that we needed to talk to you�
� Don�t start again that I should go visit her�
� Well, to be honest: we came here hoping that you would go after her, but if you don�t want to talk with her and rather stay here, wondering why she hadn�t told you earlier� well, that�s your choice�
Ritchie looked angry to J.
� You don�t care about how I feel right now do you? Talking to Angela so she feels better is all you want right? You don�t care about your friend�s messed up feeling, do you?�
� Ritchie, you�re wrong!� I care about you too, but I think talking to Angela is the only way to make you feel better�
Ritchie didn�t reply and looked down, what made the others wondering what he was doing.
�Ritchie? Here�s the key from our house, so if you want to talk to her you can use it�we�ll be leaving now so the decision is up to you�
Kristen shove the key on the table and left the house, followed by the others.
Ritchie stared to the key and was wondering if he should go to talk to Angela. She hurt him, but he was wondering why she did this. He took the key and his coat and left the house, hoping that he made the right decision.
