˙Title: "Cheater! User! Traitor!"
——————
Drew and his homies are currently at the mall. It's a Saturday so the mall is pretty crowded. At first, Drew was supposed to go with Zoey but she cancelled the plan last minute. He thought it would be a waste not to go to the mall, since today was the day stores would restock so he brought his friends.
Drew wasn't interested much in fashion but he still enjoyed buying clothes for his friends. Well, he mostly enjoyed spending his money on them.
The boys just got out of a store, Henry being the only one carrying some bags.
"I can't believe you bought me a new controller and gaming set up! Thank you so much, dude.", Henry exclaims.
—"It's nothing.", Drew says, smiling slightly, "I mean, I could buy the entire store if I wanted..", the boy brags.
The four teenagers wander around the place. Suddenly, Drew spots a store he recognizes.
"Hey, how about I buy you guys some new clothes?", the rich guy offers.
—"Isn't that the store where Zoey buys her clothes?", Liam wonders.
—"Well, it is. They don't sell only women's clothes, you know?", the boy raises his eyebrows.
Henry groans.
"I like my clothes, though...", lettuce boy pouts childishly.
—"Well, a change of clothes would be nice, don't you think Henry?", Jake chuckles.
Drew ignores his friends and heads straight inside the store.
He looks around to find out that the new men collection is out. 'Perfect.', he thinks. He approaches a black trench coat, thinking it would look good on Jake or Liam, since they are both tall handsome guys. Henry would look better without any jackets, a black and purple hoodie would go better on him.
His friends finally enter the store.
"Hey, Drew! Check this out!", Henry shouts, putting an ugly neon pink beret on the top of Liam's head.
The guy just rolls his eyes. He grabs a trench coat and calls out Jake's name. The boy turns around.
"Yes, Drew?", he says.
—"Can you try this on? It's just a coat."
—"Uh, sure.", he approaches the smaller and grabs the coat, "I'll be right back!", he grins.
The other nods watching Jake walk away. He faces Liam and Henry, the two remaining idiots.
"Found anything you like?", Drew, with his hot deep voice, questions.
—"I like this blue jacket!", Henry points at the latter across the crowded store.
—"Hen, it's a dress.", Liam laughs.
—"Is it? Well, I don't care! It has lettuce on it!", the boy smiles.
Liam facepalms, smiling as well.
"Liam?", Drew stares at the taller.
—"I like this crimson shirt.", he grabs the long-sleeved shirt.
—"Want me to buy it for you?", the rich-ass asks.
—"Yes, please!", Liam grins.
—"Go try it on first.", the boy laughs.
The other runs towards the changing rooms, like a child.
One idiot remains.
"You want anything, Henry?"
—"Nah, I'm good bro! I got a new set up!", he looks at the other happily, his hands still full with bags.
The boy nods.
"I wonder if I can get anything for Zoey...", Drew wonders, approaching the women's new collection.
He finds a cute white crop top. Drew doesn't seem like it but he is pretty observant. He knows this is the type of clothing Zoey likes. He keeps it in his hands, walking towards some black ripped jeans. He doesn't know what Zoey's size is so he just grabs the smallest one, since Zoey is slim.
He really likes Zoey. She was beauty to his eyes. Long legs, bright eyes, golden soft hair, her body is perfection to him. He also likes her personality. She has a strong personality to him. She doesn't let people walk over her, she is stubborn, honest, funny... That's his point of view, anyway.
'I should buy her a dress. She wanted one last time...', he thinks. The boy comes near a slim, tall, black dress.
"That would go well with the earrings I bought her last time", he mumbles.
He observes the dress, analyzing the material used. Satin, that will do.
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoes in the store.
"But, Adrik-boo~..! Orange doesn't go well on me..! Can you buy me the blue and purple ones instead?"
That is..
"Pleaseeeee..~?"
..Zoey's voice!
The boy hurries, walking towards the source of the voice.
There, he sees her. Her arm is around another man's arms.
"Sure, cutie.", the guy.. Adrik... says.
—"Yay~!", she jumps in his arms, kissing his cheek.
—"What the hell..", Drew mumbles, his eyes wide open.
Just when Zoey and her other lover are about to pay for their clothes, Drew comes out of the shadows, pushing the mannequin he was previously hiding behind.
"WHAT THE FUCK, ZOEY!?", the guy hurries to Zoey, his grasp tightening on the clothes he selected for his "girlfriend".
—"D-Drew!?", she exclaims, pushing the other boy away, sweating.
—"WHO'S THIS CLOWN!?", he points at the taller boy, Adrik was his name.
—"The fuck you want, man?", he asks, raising his eyebrows, smirking.
—"I'm her boyfriend, dipshit!", he shouts, enraged.
He pushes the boy, making him fall on his ass.
"Drewy-bear! This isn't what it looks like-", she doesn't bother help her sugar daddy stand back up.
—"You literally kissed him! I saw everything! The nickname, how close and comfortable you were..!", the guy wants to kill her. Strangle her. So bad.
He tries his best remaining calm, he doesn't want to raise his hand on anyone, especially Zoey. Drew feels used. He feels betrayed.
"Drewy-bear..." , she murmurs, frowning.
—"We're over.", he clenches his fists.
—"Wh-What!? BUT-!", she tries to excuse her actions.
—"WE'RE FUCKING OVER, ZOEY. WE'RE OVER SO DON'T COME NEAR ME EVER AGAIN, YOU BITCH!", he spits out without thinking.
He throws the clothes he selected for her right in her face, harshly, then walks away angrily, not glancing back at the cheater.
"D-Drew!? What happened-?", Jake worries, wearing the trench coat. He was showing it to Henry and Liam.
—"NOTHING'S FUCKING WRONG!", he pauses.
He starts panting slightly, his eyes widen as he realizes he's yelling at Jake. Small tears form in his eyes, as he frowns even more. He grits his teeth, closes his eyes and leaves the place, placing his hands in his pockets.
That is the first time Jake, along with Henry and Liam, sees Drew this angry. He seems vulnerable. What exactly happened while he was changing?
Henry runs after Drew, yelling a small 'Wait, Drew!".
Jake takes off his coat, yeeting it on the store's floor and runs after the two boys. Liam does the same.

I'm not even running at this point. I want everyone to just go away. Leave me alone. I want to cry. I feel like crying. I shouldn't cry, though. Not in front of a whole ass crowd especially if my friends are there.
I take a turn and head inside the public restrooms. I lock myself inside a stall. I sit on the floor, immobile.
How could she cheat on me. WHY would she cheat on me? I thought she loved me. I loved her. I love her.
Oh. Now I get it. She used me. She used me for money. THIS BITCH! She never loved me, did she!? I thought we had something but she-!
"Drew, are you in there?", I hear someone pant heavily.
—"Jake?", I murmur coldly, trying my best to hold my tears in.
—"Drew! What happened? Are you okay?", Jake floods me with questions.
—"I'm fine.", I respond harshly.
I want to punch this goddamn wall.
"Drew, unlock yourself.", he demands.
I remain silent.
"I just want to check on you, please.", he pleads.
I unlock the door, revealing myself. I close the door behind me, hanging my head low.
Jake grabs my cheeks with his cold hands, frowning.
"What's going on? You look like you're about to cry.", he calmly moves my hair away from my eyes.
I stand still, not knowing what to answer. I huff angrily, thinking about what happened with Zoey. That snake.
Then I start thinking about the moments we had when we were together. Those moments, where we were happy. Well, where I was happy. Those memories are lies. She never liked me from the start, she manipulated me! She could've actually hated me from the start but pretended not to! My mind starts getting more and more suffocating. This place as well.
"I HATE HER!!", I randomly spit out, making Jake flinch, retreating his hands.
I don't bother covering my mouth, acting shocked or whatever. I shot a glare at Jake then look away, angrily.
"She's such a mythic bitch.", I roughly mumble, "Manipulated me to the end."
—"Zoey?", the boy asks.
I nod, hesitating.
"Oh, Drew...", Jake sadly whispers.
I feel him wrap his arms around me, tightly, not letting go any sooner.
I let a few tears escape my eyes as I try my best not to sob into his arms.
I fail, obviously, sobbing uncontrollably. I can't stop it! How do I stop it!? I stand as still as I can, not moving, weird crying noises escaping my mouth. I eventually give up, it's too hard to keep it inside.
"Cry, Drew. Don't feel ashamed. It's just me and you in here.", he softly points out, whispering in my ear.
He puts his hands on my back, holding me close to him. He gently rubs circles against my body.
I start sobbing on his shoulder, slowly and lazily hugging him back.
We stay in this position for a while, before I start calming myself down.
"I hate her so much, Jake. It hurts so much...", I usually don't talk much about my feelings, but this is killing me.
—"Do you want to sleep over at mine?", he asks, worried.
I nod slightly, looking at his face.
He smiles at me, still sad and worried. He holds my waist and kisses my cheek, making me gasp silently. He grabs my hand and drags me outside. Henry and Liam were waiting for us this while time?
The boys look at me shocked.
"D-Drew!? What's wrong dude!?", Henry exclaims, surprised.
—"Yeah, your face is a mess...", Liam informs.
I don't care anymore. I don't utter a word and just look away. I let Jake hold my hand. I'll let them do whatever they want to me. I just want this day to end.
Suddenly, I feel two pair of arms wrap themselves around me.
It's Henry's and Liam's.
I lean in the touch, letting a few other tears roll down my cheeks. Then, Jake joins the hug, making me sob once more. I must look pathetic. I'm lucky to have them with me. At least I'm not alone.
"She doesn't deserve you, Drew.", Jake declares.
I tighten my grasp on Liam's and Jake's shirts, breaking down in tears. I have no idea whether we're being watched by the whole mall of not, but if we are, it doesn't matter anymore.
A few minutes pass by, we part away slowly.
"Let's go to Jake's.", Liam says.
Jake firmly nods.

We finally arrive at mine. I unlock the front door and open it. We all enter my house. Henry and Liam jump on the couch. Drew just heads upstairs, probably going in my room.
"Jake, you should cheer him up, he needs you the most, right now.", Liam frowns.
—"I will. Can you guys make dinner?"
The boys nod. I follow Drew silently.
Seeing him in this state breaks my heart. I should've told him Zoey was a gold digger. Even if he didn't believe me, at least he would've suspected it a bit. I feel bad.
I open the door to reveal a depressed Drew under the blankets on my bed. His hair is a mess.
I approach the bed and sit next to my friend. He seems exhausted.
"Drew...", I caress his fluffy hair, the only part of his body that can be seen at the moment.
—"Mhm..?", he says, confused.
—"Are you hungry?", I ask.
—"No.", he answers.
I sit in silence for a bit, my hand still on his head, as I look away.
"Are you thirsty?"
—"Mhh.. no."
—"Wanna watch or play something?"
—"No..."
Should I leave him alone for a while? He doesn't seem okay, though. I don't think I should. I think for a bit. What could Drew want. Rest? Sleep? Silence?
"Do you want to cuddle?", I take my chance.
No answer.
He turns around, still under the warm blanket. Now I can see his face clearly. He looks at me tiredly then nods. I smile at him. I go grab some pajamas for him and I.
"You can change here, I'll change in the bathroom.", I inform.
I leave the room to put on my pajamas.
When I return, I head straight in my bed. I cover Drew and myself with the warm blankets. I wrap my arms around his waist, holding his hands. He doesn't seem to complain. Our feet are touching, we're wearing socks so it isn't gay, right? I kiss the back of his neck, closing my eyes. We stay in that position, not saying anything.
Drew starts snoring softly, his cute snores almost inaudible. I smile at that and start dozing off as well. Let's hope Henry and Liam don't burn the house down.
