Thirst; Paxton Hall

eighty-three

Aneesa: That isn't very nice.

Mercedes: That's the nicest thing you've said to me. Leave me alone now, and go fuck the love of my life, or once love of my life.

I ended the called and Beto unmuted himself.

"Now i understand why you fought her." I heard him say as he was getting ready to get into his car and propped me up on his window seal (or whatever t hell it is)

"Please" I rolled my eyes.

"MERCEDES" my mom had yelled at me from down stairs.

"i'll be right back Beto." i heard the engine start from his car as i got up to go down stairs.

I saw her at the bottom of the stairs getting a drink from the fridge. "Someone is here for you."

I gave her a confused look but went to the door. I peaked out the peak hole and i didn't see anyone standing there. "Mom are you like shitting me?"

I opened the door and still saw no one. I went outside with my spandex and tank top and no shoes on. Then i saw.

"What the HELL. Are you doing here?" I saw him. Again. After everything he still had the audacity to show up to my house. "Why are you here"

"Mercedes. I just wanna come to peace here. You and i had so many beautiful moments, and i don't want you to regret them." I rolled my eyes.

"You're funny. You constantly fucked me over. CONSTANTLY. I could care less what we did at this point Paxton. You make me love you, then you "love" me, but then. Are you still listening Paxton?" He was starring at the bush in front of my house like he was spacing out. "I don't care if you are or not. You go to someone else Paxton. SOMEONE ELSE. It is FUCKING exhausting."

"Mercedes. Please. We don't have to date. Or be friends, but I can't live with you hating me Mercedes. I just wanna be able to talk to you at school without making it awkward."

"Funny that you care, because i don't." I heard a car's engine get louder but the engine didn't fade away. I look over to see Beto's car.

I looked at it weird, but when back to look at Paxton. I heard the car door from Beto's car, and he came over to us.

"Hey you good? I heard screaming over the phone." I giggled.

"Paxton is trying to be friends with me. He is basically acting like he didn't do anything wrong. Like what. Cheat on me with Aneesa?"

"Mercedes. I didn't cheat on you with Aneesa."

"You didn't now?" Beto slightly grabbed my wrist, and leaned toward my ear.

"He owns the red jeep right?" I nodded my head. He was whispering pretty quickly, so i don't think Paxton could hear. "Uh there was a girl in his car. She had mid length black hair i think."

I stared at the ground processing that. I looked up at Paxton.

"Get out of my yard." Paxton looked confused. Really confused. "Didn't cheat with Aneesa my ass"

"Cherry."

"Don't call me cherry. It's gross."

"Mercedes. I don't know why you think i even cheated on you with her."

"Why wouldn't i think that. She tells me like she is and she always seems to be with you. so GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY YARD." I grabbed a stick, like it was gonna do something and tossed that at him. He hopped and walked like half way down my drive way and stopped.

"Fuck you Beto." Then i lost it.

"Paxton. Get the hell off of my fucking lawn. I could beat the shit out of you right now. You don't FUCKING talk to someone that has nothing to do with you and me like that. Don't talk to someone who has given his every last FUCKING BREATH to make sure i didn't give out any fucking moment Paxton. He did what you DIDNT FUCKING DO. I hope Aneesa treats you like shit because you two fucking deserve it." Paxton put his head down, and began to walk away. "If you step a toe on this fucking property i will call the cops Paxton. And i mean it. Have a nice day."

"Mercedes. Come here." Beto put his hands on my shoulders, then helped me do breathing exercising. "Hey it's okay. Well it will be okay. Okay? You know i'm here for you no matter what."

"Well duh. I just said that dummy." I giggled then lightly kicked him.

-

"Your ass is making me hot Beto. Get the hell off of me." I flipped over heated up because Beto was trying to sleep on me.

"It's because i am hot."

"Cant disagree with you on that, but get the hell off of me. I'm sweating my butt off."

I pushed him over, and he moved like a rag doll. "We need a dog." I heard him say.

"Are you going to pay? What kind."

"What kind of you want."

"I think bull dogs are cute. They're chubby, and squishy."

"Okay." *ding* from my phone went off but i ignored it since Beto and i were talking. "I like Corgis"

"Ouu. I like their fluffy butts."

"I agree." *ding*

"Can we just get a fluffy cow?" I laughed. "A strawberry fluffy cow."

"As much as cows are cute. They smell."

"Not if we give it a bath. We can potty train it too like a dog."

"Mercedes. Where the hell are you going to put a cow in the house."

"It can sleep in between us."

"It won't fit."

"Fine. You can sleep on the floor." *ding*

"The floor?" *ding*

"Yes." *ding*

"Are you going to look at your phone?" I glanced at my phone and shrugged my shoulders.

"Nope. How bout a pig." *ding*

"They smell too." *ding* *ding* *ding*. "Mercedes' answer your fucking phone.

"Oh my god. FINE."

I grabbed my phone with an attitude and saw a mixture of people who i have never talked to message me on instagram. Then i saw Devi was messaging me on imessage.

I scrolled to see people messaging me like crazy.

Devi
People think you cheated on Paxton with Beto. Aneesa posted it.
