It's Not Goodbye, It's BRB

Chapter 19

"You're just a selfish asshole!" I heard yelling coming from downstairs, I looked at the clock in Kian's guest bedroom it was around 4am. I groaned and turned to cuddle Jc but he wasn't there.

"Yeah cause I go around making out with other chicks that aren't my girlfriend!" I got up and walked to the stairs, I could see Kian and Jc standing in the living room - I quietly sat on the stairs and listened.

"Wow I make one mistake and that's all you can talk about, I thought we were bros" Jc got a bit quieter realizing everyone was going to wake up

"It's because you don't deserve her Jc, you're just some stoner kid who happened to get famous on youtube and have my best friend fall in love with you" Kian shook his head and sat on the couch

"Oh well if that's what you think of me maybe I was wrong about our friendship" Jc stormed out of the house slamming the door behind him.

I heard footsteps and soon saw Sam run down the stairs, luckily he wasn't paying attention and didn't see me sitting there.

"Kian what the fuck is happening" he sat on the couch next to Kian "I woke up and all I could hear was yelling"

"I'm fucking it all up man, first my chance with Kaitlyn and now my friendship with Jc - I don't know what to do anymore" I heard Kian's voice get heavy and I literally felt my heart break.

"You really love her don't you?"

Kian sighed "Yeah...I do. But she loves Jc and will never love me more than just a brother. And I don't want to lose her as a friend, she's kind of like my world."

I sighed to myself and buried my face in my hands - everything about this summer was going wrong, it was supposed to be the best time of my life with the people I loved the most but it had just turned into a big pile of shit. It was all my fault too, why did I have to tell Jc how I felt, why did I have to kiss him back at the gas station, why was I so stupid. I got up grabbing my phone and keys out of the guest room, I quietly walked to Kian's room climbing out of the window just like we always did when we snuck out together. I had come to the conclusion that me going back home would be better for everyone at this point.

"Hey" I said as I walked up to my porch, Jc was sitting on my steps just staring into space. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh hi, I guess you heard me and Kian" he scratched his head "I didn't really know where to go" he laughed "I knew you wouldn't be comming home, but I'd rather be here than Kian's right now"

"Me too" I sat down next to him "Things are really fucked up aren't they?"

He wrapped an arm around me "Yeah they are" he sighed deeply "And we have less than a week to fix them"

I felt myself wanting to cry "Don't say that" I hated being reminded that he was leaving soon, why couldn't he just stay here with me forever

"But it's true"

"Jc stop ok, let's just focus on right now. Let's go up to my room go back to sleep and worry about this shit tomorrow" I grabbed his hand and stood up taking him with me.

I woke up the next morning feeling weird that I was in my bed, I hadn't slept in my own bed in like weeks I smiled seeing Jc in the bed too. I moved my head off of his chest and checked my phone 3 missed calls and 10 new messages most of them were from the boys and my mom

Mom(2): Saw you in your bed this morning with Jc, lunch is on the counter xx

Let's do dinner tonight me, you, and Jc ok call me when you wake up

Kian(4): Where are you?

If you're with Jc, tell him I'm sorry

Meet me at the park at 1:30 (with Jc) we need to talk

It'd be cool if you know, you replied

Sam: Did you go home? Are you ok?

Ricardo: Do you know where Jc is? He left his phone here

Connor: Going to the beach today let me know if you're gonna come

Ricky: I'm going to be honest, I'm real tired of this shit - you guys need to get this triangle or whatever it is figured out ok <3 call me

And all of the missed calls were from Kian

I replied back to the messages

Mom: Call you later ok - I have plans with Kian and Jc <3

Kian: Sorry, I just woke up, and we'll be there

Sam: Yeah I did, and eh I'm not sure I am so done with this I wish it would fix itself

Ricardo: Yeah he's with me, we're just next store at my house

Connor: Maybe? Let's play it by ear

Ricky" I so agree with you, why do shitty things like this have to happen ugh. And I'll call you later ok :)

I checked the time on my phone it was 12:15, we had an hour before we had to go meet Kian. I sighed and got out of bed walking to the bathroom to take a shower. I stepped out about 15 minutes and pulled on a floral romper

"Hi" Jc mumbled as he walked into the bathroom

"We have to meet Kian at the park in an hour" I said as I combed out my blow dried hair

"Oh ok" He leaned up against the counter and watched me as I put on a little eyeliner "You're really beautiful"

I blushed a little "Thanks"

He leaned over and kissed me "No need to thank me"

"My mom said there's lunch on the counter"

"Wow I love her" he smiled grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the bathroom

"You haven't even met her"

"I'd like to"

"Well good, cause she wants to take us out to dinner tonight"

He smiled as he sat at the kitchen table "That sounds great"

"You're the sweetest" I smiled and set a plate in front of him

"No your mom is" he began to stuff his face "She's the one who made us food"

I laughed and also began to eat, this is how I wanted my summer to be just full of laughes and cute moments with my boys. Me and Jc sat and talked for a while, I checked my phone and looked at Jc "We should go now"

He sighed and looked at me "Hmmm do we have to?" he gave me a little kid look

I walked over "We do" I kissed him on the cheek and pulled him up

When we go to the park I saw Kian sitting on one of the benchs playing on his phone "Hi" I sat next to him and gave him a hug.

"Hi" he hugged me back and looked at Jc "Jc, I'm really sorry I yelled at you last night and said all of these things - I didn't mean them like I was just really mad and upset" he got up and stood by Jc

Jc looked at Kian and breathed it "We both did and said some stuff that we regret and I forgive you, I don't want to have out friendship turn to shit - it means too much to me" he smiled and gave Kian a hug

"Thanks bro" Kian broke the hug and smiled. "And Kaitlyn..." he turned to me

"Don't Kiki" I got up and hugged him "I'm sorry ok, i know how you feel and I'm sure I've played with your emotions far too much." I looked down "And I don't do it on purpose, I'm sorry."

He laughed and grabbed my face in his hands "You don't ever have to apologize to me ok, cause no matter what I'll forgive you because you're my bestfriend"

I smiled "Well Connor texted me earlier he's going to the beach probably with the other boys, should we join them?"

"Heck yeah" Kian's face lit up he threw his arms over both me and Jc's shoulders "Let's head to my house and get our stuff!"

I laughed "Me and Jc can only stay for a little bit, my mom wants to have dinner tonight"

Kian looked at Jc and smiled "Nervous?"
