It was a warm, sunny day in June. I absolutely dreaded going to lunch with my friends, I didn't want to see anyone after what had happened in the past few days.Tears started to form in my eyes as the memory played in my mind..
I was at my beloved best friend Alex's house with some other friends, texting my boyfriend Jerome.
"I don't get why you guys hate him so much.. I love him! I really do!" I exclaimed, desperate to convince my friends that Jerome was the right choice for me.
"You say that every time you like date someone." stated Alicia, rolling her eyes.
"Well, this time I mean it." I said, frowning at the thought of my past boyfriends.
"Sure.. Look Anaya, I love you and will always support every decision you make. But this was a bad choice. Jerome is a fucking man whore. I'm sorry, but he is. Just two weeks ago, he dated three girls in six days. He only dates girls because he needs someone to call his girlfriend. He says he loves you, but he's said that to twenty other girls. He calls you perfect, but he's said that to twenty other girls. See what I mean?" questioned Alicia.
"Yeah, I think you could do so much better. I totally agree with Alicia, he is a man whore. You should just wait for the right guy to come, and trust me, he'll come soon. Be patient, and good things will happen to you." said Lana wisely. I grimaced.
"Eh, I guess he's okay, but you definitely could do better. And you better tell me if he hurts you, so I can screw his life up for you." said Belle with a grin.
I sighed. I love my friends like family, but they're always really judgmental of my boyfriends, and that pisses me off a lot. Jerome isn't the hottest boy out there, but he's really loving and he makes me happy, which is all I really care about. I just wish they could understand for once.
"Look guys, I love you like my sisters, but I really do like Jerome. Please don't ruin this for me. Obviously I can't do better then him, because he's the only reasonable guy that's asked me out! All of my other boyfriends were dorks that knew nothing about love. Jerome definitely does, he texts me every hour saying that he loves me. Yeah, I guess he is sexually awkward sometimes, he was telling me how hot it was that I had a big ass, but that's just how boys are nowadays. I'm happy with him, and I want you guys to be happy too." I explained.
"Hey, I never criticized you and Jerome, don't I deserve a hug?" asked Alex. I smiled and gave her a big bear hug.
"Ow! Too tight!" she choked out.
"Sorryy!" I said, hugging her again.
She smiled, then pulled me to where Alicia, Lana and Belle where sitting. As we got closer, I realized Alicia was FaceTiming her boyfriend, Alex. They are seriously the cutest couple ever. As soon as we reached them, I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. The screen flashed 'Jerome wants to FaceTime.'
"NO!" everyone shouted as soon as they saw my screen.
"But I haven't talked to him since Friday.." I complained.
"Go ahead." said Alex, winking at me.
I clicked answer, and Jerome and his friend Chad's faces appeared on the screen.
"Hey babe! How you doing?" Jerome asked casually.
"I'm doing good, just at my friend Alex's house chilling. You remember Alex, right? I motioned for her to come closer.
"Oh yeah! Wasn't it your birthday on Friday?" She nodded.
"Well happy belated birthday!" he said sweetly.
