"Would you like extra butter on your popcorn Miss?" "No thank you." I told the cashier. It has been three weeks since Lucas and I became official. (Only three weeks till school starts.) This is our fifth date since. We were walking toward our theater, (We were seeing 17 Again) when Lucas spotted some of his friends.
"Hey do you mind if I go over and say hi?" of course I do! But I can't say that
I just nod and wait by the doors of the theater. I watched them talk and not once did he even acknowledge to them that I was standing over here. He finally told them bye and walked over to me. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers as we found seats in about the middle of the theater.
In the middle of the movie I started to get really cold. Lucas's arm was around me, but I was in jean shorts and a white t-shirt with my hair up so my neck was even cold. Lucas noticed I was shivering and leaned down to my ear, "You cold?" no I am not cold I am shivering for fun, of course I am cold! (I get really angry when I am cold)
"Yes!" Lucas chuckled lightly, "Well maybe you should have brought your hoodie like me." He smiled smugly. Ok did he really just do that! I can't believe him! I pouted and he just kissed me like that was what I wanted.
After the movie he took me home and left. I flopped onto the couch and sighed loudly. "Have a nice date?" "Holy crap! Stacey! Don't scare me like that! You all most gave me a heart-attack." I jumped off the couch. Stacey laughed, "Sorry Jersey, but I need to ask you something."
"Ok go ahead." I said. "Well how serious is your relationship with Lucas?" I blushed bright red. "Stacey!" "What I just want to know." she said innocently. "We are pretty serious I guess I mean we are boyfriend and girlfriend." "Well then I need to meet this boy." I stared at her horror struck.
"Why?!" I cried.
"When your father left we, being Sam and me, promised that if you met anyone over summer we would check him out and make sure he is a good guy."
"Fine. When do you want to meet him?" I agreed reluctantly.
"How about tomorrow night and we will go out to eat? Oh and we can invite Mercedes and Josh's girlfriend." I winced at the mention of both Mercedes and Josh's girlfriend. (Still hadn't gotten used to the idea of Audrey and Josh dating)
"Ok then I will call Lucas and Audrey." Stacey gave me a puzzled look,
"Audrey?"
"Yea didn't Josh tell you?" She nodded her head no. "Yeah she is his new girlfriend." I continued. Her mouth dropped opened, "No way." "Way" I called as I walked up the stairs. I dialed Lucas's number once I was in my room. It took him a while to answer his phone but he finally did.
"Hey Hottie." Ugh did he really just call me that? Why can't he call me beautiful? "Hey." "What do you need?" If I wasn't mistaken he kind of sounded annoyed. "Oh I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with me tomorrow at eight."
"Sure, will it just be us?" I sighed. "Well no. Ok you know the guy I was with at the beach?" "Yeah, what was his name Kaiden?" "No it is Ayden. Anyways well his mom and dad want to meet you because I guess they promised my dad that they would make sure that if I dated a guy that he was ok."
"Ok sure sounds great." "Oh and my brother and his girlfriend will be there along with Ayden and his girlfriend." "That's fine. Hey I have to go see you tomorrow." "Bye."
I called Audrey next. "Hello?" "Hey what's up?" "Not much Jers, what about you?"
"Well tomorrow Stacey wants us all to go out to dinner so she can meet Lucas and since you are Josh's girlfriend you are invited too. So will you come?" I asked hopefully.
"Of course, but what do I need to wear?" Crap I forgot to tell Lucas it was going to be fancy dang it! "It is going to really fancy." "I don't have anything to wear!" she said sadly. "You can borrow one of my dresses just come over early like around 6:30 ok?"
I told her trying to cheer her up. I guess I did because I could hear her cracking up over the phone. "You having a dress!" more laughing. "That is good! Nice joke." I shook my head I picked out great friends didn't I? "I am serious I have like five dresses in my closet thanks to Katie." (It was true after seeing how great I looked in a dress Katie went out and bought me dresses.)
"Ok Jers I will believe it when I see it. Talk to you tomorrow, love you." I laughed and replied, "Bye and I love you too." I fell asleep that night praying tomorrow would not be a fiasco.
I woke the next morning to my ring tone for Audrey going off. I looked at the time and it was 12:00. Wow I slept in late, for me I am usually somewhat up at around 10:30.
I answer groggily, "Hello." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Ugh, Auds you are too hyper, calm down. " I complained. "Sorry I just had some Monster." "Its fine just tell me what you want." "Can I come over my house is soooo boring."
"I guess. Yeah, sure come over now if you want." "Ok Jers, see you in a bit." I hung up and got out of bed. I threw on some sweat pants and a plain white tee. I entered the kitchen to find Ayden setting down McDonalds bags on the table.
"Hey sleepy head." He said smiling his perfect smile. "Hey what's with the food?" I asked. He shoved some French fries in his mouth and then spoke, "Everyone else is going to the airport to drop off Katie, Brian, an Emma and I don't think you would trust my cooking."
"Josh went?" I asked as I sat down across from him grabbing my food. "Yeah but only because he wanted to watch the planes take off." I laughed I should have known. We sat in silence for awhile until Ayden broke it, "So... what are you planning to wear to the ball tonight, Cinderella?"
I giggled, ever since I wore that dress he has been cracking these Cinderella jokes all the time. "Probably one of the ridiculous dresses your sister bought for me." He laughed, "Oh come on it won't be that bad!"
"Speak for yourself. You don't have to wear a really girly dress that barely covers my butt and heels!" I said to him. "True. But honestly I think it is a good thing I don't have to. I mean we all know I would blow everyone away in my black, strapless Vera Pang dress and Chimmy Woo heels."
I could not help but laugh, "Ok Ayden it is Vera Wang and Jimmy Choo." He gasped, "Jersey knows something about fashion! It is a miracle." Normally that would have bothered me but since it is coming from Ayden I just smiled. "Jerk!" I said as I slapped him on the arm. Just then Audrey came into the room.
"Hey Ayden and grumpy butt." She said taking a seat next to me. Ayden laughed and greeted her but then got up to go get ready to go hang with Mercedes. (Gag) "Hey what do you want to do until we have to get ready?" I asked her. "Let's go make music videos with your web cam to our favorite songs!" she yelled already half way up to stairs. I laughed and followed her.
My brother and the rest of the Evans family had arrived back from the airport and hour later. My brother had come in and gave Audrey a kiss. (Shudder) We were so caught up in our music videos that we didn't look at the clock until nearly 6:30.
"Jersey I never would have thought that you would have dresses as pretty as these in your closet." Audrey called. I laughed, "Thanks Auds. So did you find one?" just as I said it she walked out in a black strapless dress. (http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/45/0/AAAAAli-8RAAAAAAAEUKaQ.jpg) It looked amazing on her. She had paired it with black glossy peep toe heels and a black clutch.
"Wow you look amazing! There is no way I will look that good." She laughed and dragged me into the closet to find me a dress. We finally decided on a navy blue strapless dress. (http://s2.thisnext.com/media/230x230/Amsale-navy-sateen-strapless_8A0DB114.jpg) I wore silver flats (after a long argument with Audrey) and had a silver clutch.
We went to my bathroom to do our hair and makeup. Audrey had her brown hair straight and her makeup had more of a rocker feel to it, while my dirty blonde hair was slightly curly and my makeup was more natural. "Jersey I never thought I'd see the day where you looked more girly then I do." I laughed.
"Jersey I don't know how you do it." She told me suddenly. "Do what?" I asked confused. "Be around Ayden all the time! You two are perfect for each other but he doesn't realize it. Plus you have to see him with that slut Mercedes." She said seriously. I sighed, "Look I just want him to be happy and if being happy with Mercedes then so be it. I would rather be friends then nothing at all. I really like Lucas I mean I don't love him like I do Ayden, but in time I think I could."
She nodded; she could see if she asked anymore questions I would be close to crying. We decided we were ready and headed down stairs. Everyone was in the living room including Lucas. He was sitting next to Mercedes looking very interested in whatever she was saying. That is when I noticed Ayden wasn't there. He must still be getting ready. Josh went up to Audrey giving her a huge kiss and telling her how beautiful she looked.
Mercedes was wearing a bright pink strapless dress with a black bow around the middle might I add it was REALLY short. (http://media.photobucket.com/image/pink+prom+dress/st3phanii31454/pinkandblackshortpromdress.jpg?o=61) She also had on sliver Jimmy Choo heels and a pink clutch.
Just then I heard someone come down the stairs. I turned to see Ayden looking star struck. I Expected Mercedes to be right behind me, but when I checked she was still talking to Tyler. (This was pissing me off!!!) So if Mercedes was not standing behind me then could that mean Ayden is staring at me?
"Take a picture it will last longer." I told him. He laughed and walked the rest of the way down. "Maybe I should this is the only time I have seen you wear a dress willingly." I smiled and hit him on the chest. (His rock hard chest.) "Well it is a really fancy restaurant otherwise I would be in jeans and a Hollister shirt." "So true, I am glad you didn't though. You look amazing in this dress." He said to me. I blushed. Did he have to say these kinds of things to me?
"Ok kids lets go." Sam said. Lucas finally came over to me. "You look good." He told me. I look good? Not I look beautiful? Or I look amazing? I fake smiled and followed him to the car.
"This place is amazing." I murmured. I was holding hands with Lucas and we were the last to enter. We had a table in the back. I sat next to Audrey who was on my left with Lucas on my right and then to his right was Mercedes and then Ayden.
"So Lucas where do you go to school?" Sam asked. "I go to St. James Academy Sir." Lucas replied politely. Sam's eyes light up. That is where he went to high school. Suddenly they are deep in conversation about the big rival game between St. James and their big rival. I sighed, I was very bored. I looked over at Ayden to see what he was doing. To my surprise he was staring back at me. I smiled at him.
He looked down for a while then looked back. Just then I felt my phone vibrate. 'Hey you look bored.' It was a text message from Ayden. 'I am!!! Lucas is talking to your dad about his school which I have no interest in. We all know our school kicks ass: P' Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ayden trying not to laugh. This was our conversation.
Ayden 'Oh of course our school did. State champs three years in a row.'
Me 'haha you know I find it very interesting that the boys soccer team didn't win state till this past year when you didn't play.'
Ayden 'Shut up. You know I am an amazing soccer player.'
Me 'You know Ayden it is not good to lie to yourself'
Ayden 'I am greatly offended. We all know I taught you all you know.'
Me 'Whatever :P I am still the best.'
He leaned over the table and stuck out his tongue like a child. The rest of dinner went by fine. Sam and Stacey asked Lucas an endless amount of questions. I guess he passed their test because they both smiled at me approvingly. I sighed in relief at that. Throughout dinner Lucas had his hand on my knee. Not that I hated it or anything but it just made me uncomfortable. I have no idea why though.
Mercedes kept giving Lucas looks of what I think were lust. But I mean I really wouldn't know. Ayden seemed to be too busy eating to notice. Right before dessert Mercedes announced that she had to use the restroom. (When I say announced I mean she really told everyone at the table she did) a little while later Lucas got a phone call that he just had to take. So he left the table too.
Ayden slide down two seats so he sat next to me. "Are you going to finish your cake?" he asked not looking at me but the cake. I laughed but pushed the plate towards him. He eagerly dug in. It really looked like he hadn't ate in days. Once he was done I looked at the plate to see a big glob of frosting on the plate. I scooped it up on my finger and then tapped Ayden on the shoulder. He turned away from talking to Sam to look at me. Just as he turned I stuck my finger with the frosting on it in his face. Causing it to get all over his nose.
I liked the rest off my finger and said, "Oops?" He smirked at me and whipped his nose clean. "Oh it's fine Jersey. I will just have to do this." And with that he whipped he frosting covered hands on my cheeks. "Oh you are so going to get." I told him but Stacey interrupted us. "Knock it off you two. I swear I feel like you guys are five again." We smiled at one another. "Well I have to go clean my face off." I told Ayden as I got up to go to the bathroom.
I was about to turn the corner that lead to where the bathroom was when I heard moaning. "Oh baby I have wanted to kiss since I first saw you." The girl said. Her voice sounds so familiar I know her. "Me too babe, me too." I know that voice too. They kept kissing and talking when it finally dawned on me. The girl was Mercedes!!! But the guy was defiantly not Ayden. What the hell!! Who is she kissing!?!
"Oh Lucas right there! That feels so good!" My whole world came crashing down with those eight words. It was Lucas making out with Mercedes. Lucas was cheating on my with my best friends girlfriend. He did the one thing I could never forgive anyone for doing. Tears were pouring down my face probably making my make up run badly. I found my legs so I could walk and turned the corner.
As soon as they heard footsteps they pulled away. Their eyes widened when they saw it was me. "Jersey, baby, it's not what it looks like." He told me while slowly coming toward me. I laughed bitterly. "Oh so I didn't just see my boyfriend making out with my best friend's girlfriend. You didn't just cheat on me. Mercedes was choking and you were trying to suck it out with your lips. Right, because that makes it better."
He looked down. "That's what I thought." I walked up to him. "You were the first guy I dated since Max and I broke up. I really thought I could trust you but you proved me wrong. I hope you have a wonderful life." He looked at me and I slapped him so hard he is going to have a red mark on his face for awhile. Then I walked up to Mercedes. "You're a bitch, slut, whore, and a hoe. I will tell Ayden about this. You are never going to get a guy like him again. You ruined your chance with the greatest guy on this earth. Go rot in hell." She just snorted and crossed her arms. That was it I had wanted to do this since I met her. I punched her right in the nose. I smiled when I heard the crack of her bones breaking.
I kicked off my shoes and ran out of the restaurant. Thankfully I had brought my purse with me so I could pay for a taxi. The whole ride I couldn't help but have tears roll down my face. All I could think about was the look on Lucas's face when I caught him. He looked guilty. Not sorry but guilty. The worst part was I was really starting to fall for him. Ayden for once wasn't the first guy I thought about.
That was all over now. He did the unthinkable he can never take it back. And then there is Mercedes not only did she ruin my relationship but she ruined Ayden's. I don't care if I hate Mercedes; Ayden does not deserve to go through that kind of pain. It kills me inside that I am going to have to be the one that tells him about it. I just hope he doesn't hate me for telling him.
When I got home only a few tears were falling. I went straight to the fridge and grab the carton on ice cream. I ran to my room and grabbed all the photos of Lucas and me so I could throw them away. But that wasn't enough I decided to burn them. I knew that they would be home soon so I changed for bed and put on a movie. I finished the ice cream half way through the movie and I guess I fell asleep after that.
"Jers, Wake up!" I heard Ayden whisper. I slowly opened my eyes to see him leaning over me. I smiled but it slowly faded as I thought of what happened. I checked my phone to see it was one in the morning. "Ayden what are you doing in here?" I asked. "Well we just got home. I wanted to come check on you. Mercedes said that you almost fainted in the bathroom and that Lucas decided to take you home in a cab since you weren't feeling better."
Oh so that's what they told him. They are so stupid. I am going to tell Ayden no matter what. I slowly sat up so I could look Ayden in the eyes. "I didn't leave because I was sick." Well that was all the way true. He looked confused. "What do you mean? Then why did you leave?" "Ayden I don't know how I am going to tell you this but I have bad news for you. Well the both of us. You have to promise you will hear me out ok? Let me finish before you jump to conclusions. You have you hear this from me."
"Jersey you are really scaring me. What is it? Is it Max? Was he there or something?" I cringed when he mentioned Max. "No it has nothing to do with Max I swear. I haven't talked to him since Katie's party." He sighed relieved but still had concern in his eyes. "It's about tonight and Lucas and Mercedes." "Oh I know it was great they were getting along great. We will have to double date soon I think it would be so much fun." Oh yeah they will want to double date alright just without Ayden and me. "No that's not what I was going to say?" I told him frustrated. "Then what about it?"
"You know how Mercedes had to use the restroom and then Lucas got an important phone call that he just had to take?" I asked. "Yes..." he said slowly. "Ok well after you whipped that frosting on me I went to go wash it off in the bathroom. I didn't quit get there." "Jersey I am not following at all. Mercedes said that you almost fainted in the bathroom." She lied stupid. Oh man this is getting really hard to do I am so close to crying. I completely ignored that part and went on as if he didn't talk at all. "I was about to turn the corner to the hallway that lead to the bathroom when I heard moaning. So I was about to turn around when I heard them talking. I thought the voices sounded familiar and I waited to see if I could figure out who they were. They were still talking when I heard them say each other's names. It was Mercedes and Lucas. They were making out in the hallway."
I kept my eyes looking down. I didn't want to see the hurt in Ayden's eyes. When he didn't say anything I looked up at him to see disbelief in his eyes. "You don't believe me." I said not hiding the hurt in my voice. He slowly shook his head. "Look Jersey I can't believe you would make something up like this. I mean I knew you didn't like Mercedes but to say something like this. After she broke her nose trying to help you." I looked at him. "She told you that she broke her nose trying to help me?!" he nodded at me. "That little bitch!" I said loudly.
"Jersey I don't know you anymore." "You don't know me anymore?! I don't know you anymore! What happened to the care free guy that ate whatever the hell he wanted, did whatever he wanted, and actually believed me when I told him things? If you for one second don't believe me when I say that Mercedes, you're GIRLFRIEND, cheated on you with Lucas, my BOYFRIEND. Then you're not my best friend because my best friend would believe me when I told him something like this."
Ayden just shook his head and started to get up. "You really don't think I am telling the truth?" my voice broke on the last word. I am being betrayed by my boyfriend and best friend on within 24 hours. My life sucks. "Jersey I just...." He trailed off and walked out. I broke in to another round of sobs as he shut the door.
The guy I thought would always be here for me just walked out on me. My best friend since I was five just left me. Not to mention this is the second boyfriend that has cheated on me. Was I not pretty enough? Do I act too much like a guy? What is the deal? Just as I was about to try and sleep my there was a knock at the door. I sat up quickly, "Ayden?!" I called.
Jordan stepped through the door. My face fell. He half smiled and sat at the end of my bed. "You were listening weren't you?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. I tried to wipe away my tears. "Hey come here." He said holding his arms out for me. I happily gave him a hug, which I broke down in. After I got out all I had left I asked him, "What is wrong with me? You're a guy what would make you cheat on a girl?" my brother pushed me away so he could look me in the eyes. "First I would never cheat on a girl. I am not a sick pig and second there is nothing wrong with you! There is something defiantly wrong with those guys though." I gave him a tiny smile. "Thanks Jordan you are the best big brother." I hugged him again.
"Now I need to go have a few words with Ayden." "Wait!" I grabbed his arm. "Please don't. If he doesn't want to believe me when I tell him that slut is cheating on him then let it be." "Jersey..." he said. "Please?" I asked once more. He sighed, "Fine but can I please go beat the shit out of Lucas." I gave him a menacing smile. "Be my guest." he broke out the broadest grin. He was about to shut the door when I called, "Jordan?" "Hmmhn? He responded. "Kick him in the balls for me." He laughed. "Will do baby sis."
Laid back in bed and tried to sleep. But the tears would not stop. I just couldn't believe it. My life was a train wreck. I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Lucas getting beat up. My brother would get all his buddies together. Wow he is not going to be able to walk for a while. Maybe Jordan with kick him hard enough he won't be able to have kids. That put a smile on my face. I was still crying when I finally fell asleep. One saying kept going through my mind though.
Life's a bitch and then you die.
