No, no I can't 😁
About 5 minutes after we'd found the note, Corey H was absolutely terrified.
"She's gonna do it again! Sh-she's gonna t-try and kill me againnn!" he sobbed.
"Noo! No she's not gonna do that, don't worry it's gonna be fine!" I did my best to reassure Corey H, hugging him tightly and handing him a tissue. Corey was just standing there, looking at the floor with his hands in his pockets. "Corey? Aren't you gonna do something?" I asked, a little confused at why he wasn't trying to help Corey H.
"Nope." Corey said, he looked at me, a grin on his face, "You wanna know why?"
"Yeah...?"
"Because Samantha didn't leave that note, she hasn't even been released!" Corey said, laughing now. Corey H froze, "You mean...?"
"Yup, it was me!" Corey was still laughing, doubled over.
(A/N: Hehe, you all thought Samantha was back didn't you?)
A wave of relief washed over me, and I smacked Corey hard with a pillow "Why'd you do that?!" I demanded. Corey smirked at me, "Bored." he shrugged. I smacked him with the pillow again, now I was laughing as well. "Oh! I had something to tell you!" Corey said, "You know Corey H told you there could be a movie lined up for both of us?"
"Yeah?"
"We got the parts!" Corey H told me, tossing a chip into the air and catching it in his mouth.
"That's amazing, I'm so happy for you both!" I said, kissing Corey on the cheek.
"Mhm, and I get an onscreen kiss with a girl." Corey told me, still smiling.
"You what?"
"Yup, I'm the main, for once I'm not just the best friend character!" Corey said excitedly, he looked so cute, like an excited little kid.
"That's...good." I said, a forced smile on my face. I was trying to be happy for him, really I was, but that was kinda hard when Corey had just told me he was gonna be swapping saliva with another girl while filming.
"Aren't you happy for me? You don't seem it." Corey said, his smile fading a little.
"Yeah yeah I am happy for you. Just shut up about it now yeah? It's not a big deal, it's just another movie."
Oops. That was pretty mean. Probably shouldn't have said that.
Corey's face fell, "W-why are you being like this?" he whispered, tearing up.
I felt sorry for him, and yet I was also angry, I wouldn't have been rude to him if he hadn't just told me that he had to kiss another girl, and he looked so happy about it too! Of course I was mad! "I'm not being like anything! But don't you think that if you were that good an actor, you wouldn't get so many 'best friend' roles in the first place?!"
Now I was just being mean, I knew he was a good actor, but I was upset that he was going to kiss someone else, even if it was just a stage kiss, and I wished he wasn't so goddamn excited for it!
Corey's tears spilled over, but now he looked angry too, "Why would you say that?! Why do you keep acting like this?! It's like you're trying to hurt me!" he said through his tears. Corey H was just awkwardly sat on the couch, trying his best to pay us no attention.
"I'm not I-"
"Yes you are! You like hurting me don't you?! That's why you ignored me all last night, that's why when we broke up you pretended to date Corey H, that's why when I finally get a part I'm really excited for, you put me down and make me feel like I'm nothing!!!" Corey said, tears streaming down his face. I hated the thought that I'd made Corey feel like that, and I hated that he thought I wanted to hurt him, but I was still mad.
"Corey, I don't want to hurt you! I never want to hurt you! But I just don't want you to kiss another girl! And you seem so happy about that!" Saying it out loud, I realised that it sounded a little less of a good reason than I'd first thought, he wasn't excited about the kiss! He was excited that he'd finally been chosen over Corey H to have the leading role in a movie, he was excited to tell me, but I'd just made him feel like he didn't deserve the part.
Corey looked furious, "It's a STAGE KISS!" he yelled, "It means nothing! You should know, unless your kiss with Corey H actually did mean something." he mumbled. This caught Corey H's attention, who quickly turned around, eyes wide.
"Why would you bring that up again?! Of course it didn't mean anything!" I shouted.
"Well neither will this one! I'm not even excited for that! I'm excited because I have a main part! Why can't you just be happy for me?!" Corey wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, turned around, and left the apartment, slamming the door behind him.
"Corey wait! Don't go!" I called, but he'd already left.
"I...I should go see if he's ok. I'll try to bring him back here." Corey H said quietly, getting up of the couch and following Corey out of the apartment.
I went over to the couch, sat down, and began to think things through. I hated fighting with Corey, I hated that Corey thought I was such a horrible person that I actually got enjoyment out of hurting his feelings, and despite everything, I hated that he was going to kiss a girl who wasn't me, stage kiss or not. I was happy for him, I was happy that he'd got a leading part, that he finally wouldn't be overshadowed by Corey H, I was just a little jealous.
I sighed, until Corey came back I'd just have to think of a way to apologise, and to tell him that I really was happy for him. A little part of me wanted him to apologise too, not as much as me, but just for the way he hadn't let me explain, or maybe that was just me wanting to feel as though I wasn't the one in the wrong. I decided not to overthink it anymore, I switched the TV on, and waited for Corey to come home.
