Almost Easy

Chapter 3

"Sara you can't just date Matt. Val will go fucking nuts!" Madeline said.

"Madeline, I'm sure everything will be alright. How bad can she be?" I asked.

"Why don't you ask that to the text message she just sent me." She said, handing me her phone.

Val: Tell your hoe ass friend Sara that I'm gonna beat the shit out of her for dating Matt. He's mine.

"You really think I'm scared of that bitch?" I asked.

"No of course not. She just gets too violent. She pointed a gun at Lacey once for talking to Matt. Then Matt took all of her guns and weapons." Madeline said.

"Right. I can beat her up with my pinky." I said.

Madeline left as I got a text from Matt. I smiled like a fucking idiot.

Matt: Hey you. You doing okay?

Me: Yeah, Val's already gone fucking nuts.

Matt: Oh shit. What did she say?

Me: She's gonna beat me up. No big deal. I'm way stronger than her considering the fact that I fix broken cars for a living.

Matt: Right. Just don't get caught.

Me: Matt c'mon you really think I am that stupid enough to get caught?

Matt: No.

I laughed as I put my phone down.

"Okay. What are we gonna do about this Val situation?" Madeline asked.

"If she swings first I'll swing back." I said, shrugging.

"Not a bad idea." She said.

"I'm just smart like that." I said, smiling.

"Right. So you're fighting for Matt? A dude who's barely even a human being?" She asked.

"Shush he's human. But yeah if you wanna put it that way." I said.

"What other fucking way is there to put it?" She asked laughing.

"Well I don't know." I said, laughing.

I was always glad to talk to Madeline about everything. We'd been best friends since high school and we are now 26. Older and still great best friends.
