Marylin flores

"Why did you tell them ?" I am going to kill him "No, who told you?"
"Doesn't matter. You know you are not allowed to date until you are 18" he replied " And anyways that zade was a bad news. If you were dating anyone but him I wouldn't have told. Have a class at least. Geez mary, you should be thanking me for helping you break up with him." He said dodging the pillow i threw at him.
"Thank god you don't keep your dishes in kitchen after eating" i said grabbing the fork from the plate that he left on the bedside table after having the salad and ruining my life "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU ANDREW FLORES!!!!" I flung at him but someone caught me mid air "leave me miles. I am gonna kill this son of a-"
"Language mary" miles said seating me on the bed and taking the fork from me " He is your brother."
"Yeah, how unfortunate that is"
"Marylin" my mom glared at me from the door.
"What!? Oh yeah he is your favourite. Of course you'll side with him"i said folding my arms around my chest " I am almost 17. Why am i still not allowed to date"
"Marylin, honey first thing I don't have a favourite child." My mom said taking a seat beside me on the bed " and you know the rules none of you date before 18. Rules are rules."
"But whyyyy?" I said pouting " i really really like zade. He is nice. He cares for me. Plus he is a straight A student. No past girlfriends-"
"You don't know that"miles said interrupting me " he is an exchange student and you have been dating him for what two weeks"
" UMMM, he told me that." I said widening my eyes as i stare at miles's. "He doesn't lie to me"
"And how do you know THAT?" He said staring back at my eyes widening his own.
"Cause he loves me." I said giving up and throwing my arms in air "you guys won't understand"
"Honey, we are just trying to look out for you." My mum said.
"Well don't" i replied standing up " you know what, just leave me alone" i said as i walked out of my brother's room and walking into mines. I slammed the door shut and sat on the floor blocking the door. Why don't they understand. I am old enough to date someone. To like someone. I just hate their stupid rules. I really liked jackson and so does he and now i'll have to break up with him because of these stupid rules.
Wait....come to think of it. Who told my brother? Why would someone tell him? Why would someone do this to me? Only me and my best friends knew and they won't tell him. Yeah, miles is my brother's friend but he is MY bestfried. And sophia hate andrew. And olivia, she won't do it. She had my bigger secrets than this one. I didn't have a fight with anybody who could've known. And me and zade were extra careful during our both dates. I am damn sure no one saw us. Than how did he find out? I swear once i find out who told him i am gonna kill that assho-
"Mary!" I suddenly heard someone call my name, can someone hear me swearing in my head?" come on open the goddamn door."okay, no one can hear me swear in my head " Geez are you crying? Over a guy you just met ? He wasn't even that great!"
"Soph!?What are you doing here?!" I shouted not moving from where i was sitting.
"Open the door!" She shouted back this time slamming her hand at the door a few times " open it or i'll break it"
"Sophia calm down" i heard the other voice, the one i was hoping to hear "marylin please open the door. Miles called us. Lets chat over some chocolate icecream. I bought you a box "
BAIT. The icecream box was a bait. I knew it was a bait. I shouldn't be opening the door. I know i shouldn't be. If i open it, its over. They will make me not-mad-at-andrew-anymore and what-happened-was-probably-for-the-best. But i want to be mad this time. Its scary how your best friends have this power. Its totally unfair.
"I also bought poppy's large burgers"sophia said , I could hear her swinging the paper bag near the door.
I swing the door open, if the bait was good there was no reason to not take it. Three pair of eyes looked at me one blue , one green, and one brown. The blue eyed guy pushed past me into my room. "Stop being such a drama queen mary" he sighed as he sat on my bed "and over zade, really?"Sophia handed me the paper bag, her burger in our hand already and pushed past me sitting on my beanbag near my bed unwrapping her burger "are you alright?" Olivia asked me staring at me with those green eyes.
"Atleast someone cares about me" i said hugging her squeezing the ice creambox between us.
"What?" Sophia said with her mouthful "we do care about you. And thats why we are here to make you stop crying over that transfer student and make you realise that you can do sooooooo much better finding a guy" she said " or a girl" she winked at me as she swallowed the bite in her mouth.
"What was so good about him anyway?"Miles said stretching his hand towards me in order for me to hand him over his burger " just eat all these emotions up, even though there shouldn't be any, not for him atleast" he said taking the burger from my hand.
"Miles, I don't think you get a say on this cause you have problem with all my past crushes and even with the boys i talk to"
"What can i do you've got bad taste"
"No! You guys want me to die single" i said fake crying " i hate you guys, except her" i point towards olivia who is standing beside me patiently with icecream tub in her hands "she is the only one who cares about me" i say hugging her again " i loveeeee youuuuuuuu livyyy!!"
"I love you toooo" she finally says slipping out of hug " but lets finish this ice-cream before it melts" she said swinging the spoons out of her back pocket. She walks over to my bed and i follow her.
"I know you are sad because of zade " she stares at me as she sits " but" she puts extra pressure on that 'but' and pauses for a moment in order to decide weather to tell me or not what she was about to say.
"But what?" I said sitting beside her getting impatient.
"You'll know soon" she says handing me one spoon.
"Oh come onnnnn tell me alreadyyyyyyy" i say opening the tub completely ignoring the two others sitting in the room. But olivia just give me a mischievous look in order to make me more impatient and says "let the right moment arive,mary"
"Hey don't eat that icecream alone i want some too"sophia says cutting me off as i open my mouth to persuade olivia.
"I want some too"miles says turning towards us and removing his shoes in order to come and sit closer to olivia and she feeds him a spoonful of ice cream.
"You guys are like this typical cheesy couple" sophia comments as she rolls her and sits beside me and pick up the last spoon " you even bought only three spoons, you were planning to share the spoon"sophia says making an ew expression and i high five her.
We were all laughing like no zade ever happened *sigh* i feel good and guilty. As everyone one was busy talking i excused myself to bathroom and texted zade.
We are done. I am sorry. Really.
I switch off my screen and stare at my reflection on its black, turned off screen and then go back to my friends, my besties.
They were all laughing as I approached them.
"You texted him?" Miles asked.
I nod. " I can't breakup with him when he is standing right in front of me. His face makes me change my decision." I say in low voice as though if i say too loud zade might hear. To be honest,zade was not just handsome with pitch black eyes and hair just the perfect shade of brown and black, tall almost 6'2, with a great body and dimpled smile he also had a good personality. He respected everyone, he never had a temper, he paid attention to small details and most of all even though being the son of one of the biggest businessman in the district, he never flexed it. He was just perfect. Too perfect apparently. Even god knew he deserved better. He wasn't my first boyfriend i dated a guy taner before but got caught, i need to get better at hiding but anyways as i had dated before i had an example to compare him to and he was the best boyfriend i had for the shortest time period. Fair enough as they say best things doesn't stay for long and thats the only imperfection they had. URGH I HATE IT!!!!
We all finish our burger and the whole tub of ice cream talking about totally random stuff. Olivia and miles were first to leave as liv had a curfew and miles was dropping her off not that she was allowed to date or anything for her parents miles was just a friend but i did get jealous of them sometimes how amazingly they fitted into each others lives and hid it from everybody. Honestly it was impressive. Only if i had that luck.Sophia decided to stay the night in case i needed someone to talk to if i couldn't sleep which i definitely will not be able to. Before going to bed me and sophia went to the near by store to buy some snacks and two tubs of ice cream cause we both knew we were gonna pull an all nighter scrolling through reels, just as we were going to ring our stuff up andrew texted me
A tub of blackcurrant for me please!!
I'll pay you when you get home.
I sigh "hey you stand in line i'll go get blackcurrant's tub andrew just texted me" i tell jackline. She just nodded and stood in the line but as i was turning she said " did i ever tell you that your brothers got a weird taste in both ice cream and girlfriend" i turn around to see her and then turned to where she was staring. Emilia. Andrew's girlfriend. Oh right. He's got a girlfriend. A really weird one in that fact. I really wanna rat him out on this one but i just decided to stay quiet, one annoying habbit of me to be a better sibling. I curse at myself at not ratting him out and not feeling like being the best sibling when i bump into someone.
"I am so sorry" i say turning at the strong figure i just bumped into and as our eyes met i froze. I was staring in those black eyes. Zade's eyes. Its seems like forever when he finally clears his throat and breaks the stare by looking away. I open my mouth to say something but he stops me " its okay really. I just never thought you were a break up on phone type girl"
I am not. I want to tell him i am not. I want to tell him that i never could have broken up with him facing him cause just look at his gorgeous face how can i break up with him. I want to tell him all of this but instead i lower my head unable to part my lips anymore like they are glued together. I can't look up cause if i do tears will roll down my cheeks and i will hug him telling him i really like him and that I don't want this break up but I can't let that happen either cause i love my family and I don't want to make my parents mad. After a few seconds of not getting a reply from me he finally walks past me but before that he says " hey I understand really. Just be happy. And don't worry about me okay?" With his soft but sad voice my tears do roll down so i face the other side so that he wouldn't see me. After he is gone I quietly go and grab andrew's ice cream tub and go to sophia as she was getting our stuff ringed up. She didn't ask me much questions cause she knew i was gonna cry if she did so instead she tried to distract me with most random stuff she could say. I eye her with i am okay eye she gives me this look she always made whenever she have to say you are not okay but fine. I chuckle at her face expression as we step out if the store.
What was i gonna do if I didn't have these three little idiots as my friends.
