"Mother fucking shit." Ash cusses under his breath. I chuckle at his extensive vocabulary. Mikey just started at the scene before him, his girlfriend making out with his best friend. Silent tears start to run down his pretty face. "Listen, Mikey I think we should talk about this somewhere private." I say hesitantly to the shocked boy. He just nods violently. I take his limp hand in mine and lead him toward another room.
We both sit down and he continues to stare at me. "I-I just don't... I don't think I understand what that was." He stammers. I sigh, how do I break this to him? "Listen, I love you, you know that, but we have no fucking spark! I love Ash as well, and with him the sparks literally erupt whenever I think about him." I explain to him, my voice getting louder the more I speak. "Please, can we stay friends? I still care about you deeply but I want to be with Ash." I whisper to him. He looks at me with a fierce look in his jade eyes. "We had sex last night! You still have MY hickeys on your fucking neck. How much of a slut are you?" He yells at me. My mouth goes agape when I hear those sinister words leave his mouth. I can tell that he is processing what he just said. His eyes go wide and I can practically see his mind trying rewind the situation. But the damage has been done. "No, no, no Tay, I'm so so sorry that's not what I meant. You know I would never say that! It just slipped out and I'm so, so sorry." He pulls me in for a hug and I melt into him without resistance. I forgive him, but his words still cut through my heart like a dagger. I start sobbing into his warm chest.
We stay like that for a long time, me crying and him comforting me and hushing my cries. After a while he starts whispering to me. "Hey, hey, listen I'm fine with being friends. Of course I still care about you deeply but I get that there's no spark. I agree." I feel a wave of relief wash over me. Thank god. He picks me up bridal style and carries me to the room where Ash is mindlessly passing the time. He sees my crying state and immediately rushes over and takes me from Mikey's arms. "Hey babe, what happened." I look at Mikey, his eyes pleading with me not to mention it, "nothing I'll explain later." I mumble. Mikey leaves and Ash lays me on the bed. Then he lies next to me and wraps his long arms around my waist. I tell him the whole story and he just listens. "Wow.." He breathes when I finish. "At least now we can be together." He says looking me in the eye. I giggle, "That's what you got from that?" You ask your stupid boyfriend. He nods,
"Yes, we can."
