-you all are gonna be sh0ok for whats coming in a few chapters ;))
"Everything is going to be okay" I said to myself. "Just avoid alex and act like nothing happened" I deeply sighed. I'm not in love with Alex but what would you do after the person you've been crushing on for who knows how long, confesses their feelings for you. and especially when they first your first kiss and heartbreak...
after showering, I got changed into the clothes I was wearing before minus the jacket. i saw joey laying down on the couch on his phone with a blanket over himself.
"the bathroom is all yours" I mumbled, bringing my cheeks up into a smile
"you take awhile to shower" he playfully huffed
"shower thoughts always distract me" I held my hands up in surrender. "like why is sour cream called sour cream when its not sour?"
he laughed. "you're something else. rose marlin" he said and made his way to the bathroom
I pouted once he shut the door, leaving me alone. I miss him shirtless. I really do
that darn ringtone triggered me again. I groaned then looked at the contact. why is there so many annoying people calling m today?
pressing the accept button, I pulled my phone up to my ear. "hello?" I asked, unamused
"hey! I just wanted to say I'm sorry. it was Tiana lying. not you." connie said though the phone. "can you forgive me? and maybe we could be besties again. I can save you from being friends with that weird cashier girl. and maybe set me up with your new boyfriends best friend Charles? he's really cute. and I also need a job. could you by any chance get one for me?" she giggled
she's funny to ever think that. from all that she just said made me realise things. things that I was too blind to see
"no" I responded immediately. "you made me feel like crap after you started believing her. even when you would always talk trash about her you then acted like her best friend. I know you guys talked trash behind my back already, so i'm not going to be all fake. I know you're only running back to me because you have no one else to go to and that my life has finally turned around. i'm dating a extremely attractive guy, I've made a real friends and I've got a job where I get paid well so I don't think I need you using me. I thought you were my best friend, connie. I thought wrong"
I hung up straight after, letting out a breath of relief. getting fake friends out of my life is like fog starting to clear out.
"thats my girl" joey said which made me look up. damnit! he has a shirt on. " that was really brave of you to finally connie-front to her" he smirked then chuckled at his stupid pun
I playfully rolled my eyes. "I was pretty connie-fident" I played along and we laughed
...
the next day rolled by and me and joey left the motel, first thing in the morning. I told joey to drop me off at the cafe since I had the morning shift and that I had no time to change into some fresh clothes. he did what I asked and dropped me off a block away from the cafe because there was no space to park
"see you later" he smiled, pecking my lips
"bye" I smiled back then jumped out of the car
on my way to the cafe I frowned at what I had found in front of me
"rose" Alex greeted, stunned
"hey Alex" I sighed
"im sorry if i startled you from what I said last night. I don't regret it though" he said with sad eyes
"but why now? you knew I had a crush on you in the past" I mumbled
he took in a breath. "after seeing you with joey, I realised some things..." he started. "a lot of things. I shouldn't of had played that bet on you. I just wanted to fit in with my so called friends. it was the only thing that would prevent me from being stuck with nerds again. now I realise that I was atoll douche to you. I should have cared when you owed cared for me. I'm sorry rose" he explained

"I already gave you so many chances but you threw them away. so why should I give you another?"
"because I've changed. seeing you hanging out with that douchebag joey made me realise-
"dont call him that!" I spat
"I didn't mean to, Rosie, im sorry" he pleaded which trigged me
what did he just call me
"dont call me that. ever" was all I said before I pushed past him
