"Listen to me when I say this, nothing happened okay?" He's beyond hungover, probably still drunk, if that's possible.
"John B I-" She comes up from behind him. Her. Why her? He didn't come to beg for me. I happened to be here.
"Why are you here?" Sarah says, clearly confused.
"Annual brunch" I said awkwardly, holding on to an avocado sandwich.
"Oh shit, i didn't know you would show" Sarah said while reaching in her bag giving john b.. A bag of weed?
"I took this from rafe but he has so much he won't even notice i took any"
Rafe. My stomach turns, remembering how I was all over him a minute ago. My childhood crush, liking me back? This was too much to handle. John B was standing in front of me with the girl he kissed last night and all i can seem to think about was how rafe looked at me, listened to me.
"Listen John B, what you did, you both did. I can't forgive you." I looked at them both, starting to feel sick of the thought of it. She got everything she wanted, now even my first love.
"Are you kidding me you act as if we slept together, it was a kiss zee calm down."
Furious was not even the word, just a kiss? He said nothing happened, he said he loved me. He didnt love me if he Just kissed her.
"Fucking bitch, you just dont get it" I said making them both look dumbfounded.
"You know what, you can have each other" I start walking to where my mom parked trying not to burst in tears yet again. I felt numb, completely numb.
"ZEE, Zee please" John B's voice echoes from afar. I walk faster. Fast wasn't enough because he caught up to me.
"Zee listen, We kissed ok? It meant nothing to me, I was drunk, we both were drunk." He says like it's ok, like it's a normal occurrence. I faced him, seeing his upset face.
"John b, i love you. But you hurt me beyond words, you did this. Not me." I look away and walk towards the car seeing my mom taking a phone call looking the opposite direction.
As I close the door I can't keep it in. I'm crying, not like before. Before I tried to think none of this was real, John B wouldn't hurt me like this, right? But after Sarah talked to me like that, John b didn't even stand up for me. It was all real, we were over. All those memories were a blast in the past. We were done.
"Brian let me call you later." My mom whispered as she saw tears running down my eyes.
"Oh honey.
Her face was filled with motherly love, needing to protect me. But it was too late.
"Zee what's wrong?" She says bringing me into her embrace wiping the tears off my face.
"Sarah kissed John B." Silence took control. She squeezed me harder, since my father had cheated on her. She's been locked away. But after this. She realized she had to be there for me. As my mother.
We made it back home and my mom ordered Indian food. My favorite. My mom really changed my mood. I still feel numb, but not alone.
"Zee you have a guest?" Mom says confused at the front door.
As I make my way down the staircase I see him.
"Hey zee I saw what happened today and thought you might wanna talk"
Rafe, Rafe Cameron was at my door. My knight in shining armor. Was that corny?
My mom nodded at me letting me know it was ok to go. I ran upstairs and put on a pair of jeans and a crewneck. It was cold, so I needed to dress warm.
My mom was in the kitchen on a phone call as usual and walked past her to the door.
"Hey zee" Rafe says sitting on the couch in my living room waiting for me.
"I wanna take you to a relaxing place i go to when i'm upset."He says smiling.
That smile, the smile I've loved since I was a child.
A sudden knock vibrates the room's romantic aura. I go to open the door and it's him.
"Zee please, I love you" John B falls at the door and cries.
"Get up John B, Come on" I say feeling helpless.
"Please zee" John B says while gripping onto my arm.
"Stop that hurts." I say as he stays ahold of my arm, gripping harder and harder. I tried breaking loose but he was much stronger.
"You don't love anyone but me, It's you and I forever." He says while he created a bruise on my arm.
"What's going on"? Rafe says as he walks around the corner from my couch to the front door he just walked into.
Rafe runs to my safety and pulls john b off of me.
"What the fuck dude" Rafe says pushing him out the door.
Rafe grabbed my hand and walked us out the door. I saw him sitting on my front porch as rafe brought me to his car.
Was rafe my new chapter in my life, was this a pity situation, or does he like me?
