Fallen

7. Hear me out

"What the hell?!?" I screamed not believing my eyes.

"Mona? Mona who is it?" Kiwi said from the living room. Before I could reply, she scurried over to me.

"Why are you screaming?" She asked looking directly at me, not look at the interrupter.

"Because of that." I pointed to the thing, disgusted.

"Wha-" She turned her head towards the doorway. "Oh hello there." She sweetly said.

"Hey," He scanned Kiki up and down. I scoffed. Pervert. "Beautiful." He winked. She blushed.

"Not happy to see me, Mona?" He smirked looking back at me.

"Not at all. How did you get my address?" I was furious.

"Don't you remember sweetheart? Your aunt set us up. I called her and told her I was going to pick you up for a date and I needed your address."

"Don't you ever call me that." I said through clenched teeth. "And I will not be going anywhere with you."

"What happened between you guys?" Kiwi whispered. I totally forgot she was there.

"Oh just a misunderstanding! Mona, I came to apologize about that." He said reaching up to touch my face.

"Just go away Jeremy!" I slapped his hand away from my face and stomped away leaving Kiki with the pervert.

I snatched the tv remote and turned it on. It seemed like forever when the door shut. I turned to yell at Kiwi for talking to the jerk. I stopped myself.

"What is he doing here? I thought I made myself quite clear I don't want him here." My eyes pierced into Kiki's.

She looked away. She always said my eyes looked as if I was peering into your soul.

"Jeremy explained everything that happened. I think you should apologize to each other."

"Me? Apologize to him? Hell to the no! For what?! He was the one trying to rape me!" I shot up. My face flooded with red. My blood was boiling. I could beat this guy up. Again.

"Mona I think you may be overreacting." Kiki calmly said.

"WHAT?" I tore my eyes away from her and looked at Jeremy. "Don't touch anything!" I growled.

I yanked Kiki over to the kitchen.

"What exactly did he say to you?" I was growing impatient.

"He said he tried to kiss you in the middle of the movie and then you punched and kicked him." Kiki said with a 'Duh' look on her face.

"He tried rape me! He kept trying to take my clothes off! Did he mention that?"

"No. Are you sure he was trying to you know, do that to you? Maybe he was just trying to touch your boob." Why wouldn't she believe me?

"That would still be molesting! He violated me! He kept trying touch me where I didn't want to be touched!" I practically yelled.

"Shhh. Mona calm down. He still wants to apologize to you. Maybe you should hear him out."

She grabbed my hand and led me towards the living room.

Jeremy was seated on the couch looking at his phone. He looked up an smirked evilly when he saw us. We stood silent staring at each other. Kiki was the first to speak.

"Jeremy, would you like to say something to Mona?" She nudged me onto the couch.

"Mona I deeply regret my actions that day. Will you please forgive me? Earlier that day I was hanging with my bros and we sort of drank a few beers. So that wasn't really me." He held out his hand to shake.

"If it means you'll leave me alone than fine." I grumbled and shook his hand.

I was still angry but for some reason Kiwi really wanted me to forgive him.

-Kiki's POV-

I sighed a breath of relief. Now my best friend no longer hated my boyfriend.

After Jeremy told me what happened he asked if I wanted to go out to lunch with him. I happily agreed. We already exchanged numbers. He wasn't my boyfriend yet but, he's really hot and I hope he'll be my boyfriend by the end of the day.

I wasn't surprised when Jeremy told me he tried to kiss Mona. She was so much prettier than me. She never wore make up except for the occasional mascara and lipstick. The only way I could look as pretty as her was by loading my face with make up. Even then I wasn't as beautiful. The difference was she had natural beauty, mine was fake.

Everyone was quiet. Jeremy was on his phone and Mona was pretending to be engulfed in the tv. Suddenly my phone vibrated.

Hey, wanna go to lunch now? -Jeremy

I quickly typed back.

Yeah but can we invite Mona? I'd feel bad leaving her -Kiki

That was a lie. I just didn't want her knowing I liked him.

I guess so. I could say its for an apology! Xoxo Jeremy

Now he's doing hugs and kisses? He's totally into me.

"Hey guys wanna go grab something to eat? As a sorry gift." Jeremy said enthusiastically.

"Yes! I mean, um, sure." Mona said trying to play it cool. I giggled. Mona could never pass up free food.

"Ok." I smiled at Jeremy.
