a well deserved distraction (pt 1)

"i can not believe this! i mean who the hell does this boy think he is?" i said pacing around my room, stressed beyond belief.

"he's an idiot." i continued, referring to EJ who i recently found out stole my phone.

"girl i could've told u that ages ago." Alyssa said, sucking on a lollipop.

"not helping 'lyss." i said, still pacing. "and this all happened as he's trying to make up with me."

"wait, HE WHAT." Alyssa said, sitting up. i ignored her, still in my thoughts.

"and as i was helping him after Ricky almost broke his nose!"

"HE WHAT!" Alyssa said even more curious now. i continued ignoring her. i had way too many though swirling around in my head to answer her.

"and even while he tried to kiss me!" i said, raising my voice as i realize more and more just how fucked up this whole situation is.

"HE WHAT!!" Aly said, now yelling. she stood up and jumped off the bed, firmly grabbing my shoulders to keep me from pacing anymore. "rewind please. he tried to kiss you?" she continued, calmer than she was just a few seconds ago.

"yeah, when i was helping him get cleaned up after Ricky almost broke his nose." i said.

"when and why did Ricky almost break EJ's nose." Alyssa asked.

"during a rehearsal. why? i don't know but all i know is i was helping EJ and the next thing i knew, we were friends again and then he tried to kiss me." i let out, all in one breath, inhaling all the air i just let out after.

"jesus, mami. you've got two men wanting you. one of them has a girlfriend." she told me, causing me to place my face inside the palms of my hands.

"oh no, no, no. this is bad." i said shaking my head.

"how is this bad? you have two attractive men that want you? what could possibly be wrong with that?" she asked.

"EJ has a girlfriend! he has a girlfriend and he tried to kiss me."

"well do you think he likes you?" she questioned.

"i don't know, maybe? i mean he's been acting funky lately." i confessed.

"well i mean obviously you don't like him." she said.

"yeah! obviously." i said in a very high pitched and unconvincing voice.

"oh my god, YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR EJ!" she yelled pointing at me before laughing.

"HEY! HEY, easy. i don't like him. i just don't not like him. me and EJ have history, it's not easy to just let that go. i mean obviously i stopped any consideration of possibly seeing if we could re-connect as soon as i heard him and Nini were together, but with all we've been through, there's always gonna be something there." i spilled.

"ooh girl, you're in deep shit." Alyssa told me, as if i didn't already know.

"well i mean now, i don't even know what to feel! he stole my phone and deleted a voicemail from Ricky off of it, for reasons i don't understand. like that is FUCKED UP, right?" i asked her, double checking to see if i had any right to be mad.

"yeah, that's fucked up, but maybe you should ask him why he did it. for all we know, he did it because Ricky is an axe murderer." she said, shrugging her shoulders.

"honestly, i don't even wanna talk to him right now. i just wanna figure out a way to be able to retrieve Ricky's voicemail"
