Just Friends

Pov Sage

I really don't understand why Meri would lie to me. Axel would never cheat. Meri and I haven't seen each other for two whole weeks now, even though we normally meet up almost every day. Several times a day.

I really just want things to work out between us again. To be honest, Meri is quite wrong. I don't want to argue at all, but I don't want to be the first to say that. I'm not wrong. He does, so he can say sorry. Otherwise I won't do it.

Now you can call me stubborn and tell me to stop being stupid and just go to Meri, but that's just not how my mind works. I'm not wrong so I don't have to be the first to apologize. But I miss him very much even though he literally lives next door to me.

I look outside through the window. I see Meri pulling into the driveway. As soon as he has parked, another girl gets out. That's the umpteenth one this week. Not that I'm stalking him or anything, but I think he's gone back to his old fuckboy behavior. Just when I thought he had stopped doing that again.

They walk inside together and I don't want to know what they are going to do there. I quickly close the curtains. I take my earphones off my bedside table and put them in my phone. I turn my music on loud. The sounds of There for you by Martin Garrix echo through my ears. I start singing along loud and clear. I don't want to brag or anything, but I don't think I sing very out of tune, but everyone says that about themselves and then we think that we can immediately participate in The Voice, because we can sing so wonderfully.

I plop down on my bed and grab my phone. I see that I have received a message from Axel.

I love you babe!

Aww he's so sweet. Shall I surprise him and visit him? I've been bored here all day anyway and since I can't go to Meri, it's quite a good idea, even if I think so myself. I grab my keys from my desk and put on my vest. I walk downstairs.

"Mom, I'm going to Ausin!" I shout and walk out the door.

I close the door behind me and grab my bike from the garage. I jump on my bike and ride down the street.

I lean my bike against the wall of Axel's house and ring the doorbell.

"Hey Sage, how nice to have you here. Axel is upstairs," his mother smiles.

"Hey, thank you," I smile at her and walk past her and go upstairs.

I sneak upstairs hoping Axel doesn't hear me. I walk towards his room. I hear sounds coming from inside the room that I hope with all my heart is his ringtone...

I open the door carefully. Axel is lying on the bed shirtless with a girl lying on top of him, also shirtless, while they are kissing. So it wasn't his ringtone after all. So Meri was right... I was wrong...

"Axel!!" I shout angrily.

He startles. When he sees me his eyes widen. He immediately pushes the girl away. With all my collected courage I glare at him.

"Who do you think you are!" the girl shouts angrily at me.

"His girlfriend," I hiss at Axel.

"Oh wait let me correct myself ex," I hiss again.

You see Axel swallow.

"But I'm already his girlfriend," she says in surprise and gets off the bed.

That was enough for me. I walk towards Axel.

"Babe it's not what it seems," he says.

Ha, don't use that cliché phrase with me, because I've seen enough movies to say that it is always what it seems.

"You idiot," I growl and give him a bitch clap, because hey, he's just the male version of a bitch right now.

I turn and walk out of the room. Then I storm downstairs, out of the house and towards my house.

At my house, tears are rolling down my cheeks. Mom's car isn't home. That must be working or something. I throw my bike against the wall and run to the door. I almost fell over a flower pot, but I just caught myself.

I walk inside and quickly close the door behind me. I collapse against it, crying.

Only I hear a sob coming from the living room. Only that sob isn't mine.

I get up and walk to the living room with tears still in my eyes and on my cheeks.

I was home alone anyway. Mom was gone.

I look around the corner and on the couch I see a crying Meri with his head buried in two pillows.
