Jaycee Marie Brown
I hate when I defend someone for so long and then I see their true colors. It makes me judge how they REALLY are, and whom they've come to be. I feel stupid and judge their loyalty towards me. It's sad that you have to see people's true colors through your own eyes.
You never know who's really riding for you until you put that bitch in park and see if they get out the ride.

"Jaycee? Jaycee baby come here for a minute." My mom yelled from downstairs

"Hold on a second ma, I'm coming"

I rushed downstairs to the living room to see what my mom wanted, and in the living room I see the most selfish bitch sitting right across from her.

"Ma, what is she doing here?" I said with a smart attitude.

"Jayce, she came by to apologize to you."

"You should've thought about that before you "caught feelings" for my ex, where's the loyalty, huh Jas?"

"Jayce, I'm-"

"You really don't have the right to call me Jayce anymore, you ruined it. I would love for it to not be true, but I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't have anything else to say I would like for you to leave."

"Okay Jaycee. Hear me out. It wasn't supposed to be like that. I only wanted to mess with his mind an heart and just let it be, but I started liking him an well it turned into. A relationship. I never wanted to hurt you Jaycee I really didn't. You're my best friend, and I miss you."

"Miss me with the bullshit Jas, you KNEW how much I loved him and now we break up and two months after you're with him? Then the way I find out, I had to look in your phone myself and see who your "New Boo" was. You kept this shit from me for two fucking years! So you wasn't planning on telling me? talking about some damn "lowkey". Jasmine you were like my damn sister! I told you EVERY FUCKING THING! You are so disloyal and you're the fakest bitch I've ever met! Get out of my house!

After the back and forth argument for about ten minutes, she realized that the argument wasn't going anywhere so she left, I felt bad about cursing in front of my mother. It was very disrespectful and I feel like out of all people she deserves an apology more than anyone.

"Ma? I'm sorry about my language, it was so out of character and I shouldn't have said it."

"It's okay baby girl, it was all out of anger that's all, but I also see that yall aren't going to be friends anymore? And it's all over a boy."

"Mama, it's about the fact that I was nothing, but loyal to her and she betrayed me."

"Listen Jayce, you're 17 and you're gonna have plenty of boyfriends. It really shouldn't matter who your friends date, because that makes you seem selfish like you don't want her to be happy. If the roles were reversed you'd want her to forgive and allow you to date whom ever. I know I didn't raise you like that, you need to apologize to her and you need to mend fences. I'm telling you this because you need to learn from your own mistakes and stop sweeping them under the rug."

I do admit, my ma got a point. It's just hard for me to stomach because this is the first time of this happening to me. Michael was someone I truly loved, and cared about. I gave him my all,but I'm not going to give her the benefit of the doubt and let her off the hook, best friends don't go after best friends first loves. I want to talk to Michael and ask him why? Why is he doing this me? and why for two fucking years.

Next Day -

I wake up the next day, and do my daily hygiene routine. I walked downstairs and instantly smell something delicious. As i get to the end of the steps I see my mom cooking some strawberry cheesecake pancakes. My ABSOLUTE favorite. I eat my breakfast and think about the conversation with me and Jas yesterday. I'm so hurt, but I don't think it'll be something that I can forgive her for. My phone starts to ring and it's from my boy best friend Justin, no not Bieber...Combs. I'm so glad to hear from him. He's like my Therapist.

"Jaycee Marie Brown" He said with a stern tone.

I knew something was wrong by the way he spoke, but I don't know if it's me or him. I'll soon find out.

"Jayce? We need to talk." He said with a concerned tone now.

"Yes Justin? We do. Olive Garden?"

"Yea, I'll be there in ten."

"Okay Bye."

I put on a cute, yet simple outfit. I put my hair in a thick high bun. My hoop earrings and I grab my purse an keys an head out.

-Olive Garden-

I get a seat, since Justin wasn't here yet. Before I ordered, Justin walked in. He gave me a hug and we sat down and order.

"Jayce, you're gorgeous." Justin said

"Thanks Justin, but instead on complimenting me. Wassup?"

"Well Jayce, what's up with you? You been on social media throwing slick shade at who? I don't know, but I do care." He said concerned

"Well, you know my best friend Jasmine? Well her an Michael are *clears throat* dating."

"Your ex Michael? Since when?"

"According to her for two years. *starts to tear up*

"Aww Jayce, I'm sorry. I know how much he meant to you, but you know what."

"What?"

"You have to accept that anybody will date who they want. You should be happy for her."

"I'm gone always feel some type of way Justin. It's just too good to be true."

"I know Jaycee, but I'll always love you and you know that."

"I love you too Justin."
