Not A Bad Thing (Madison Alamia|Tobeone)

Chapter Twelve

*Reese*

'I need to talk to you' I read the text message to myself and responded quickly.

'Is something wrong? I'm coming over.'

"Madison? I have to go. Mariana needs me." I quickly kissed his cheek and went to grab my board.

"But you like just got here." He pleaded, grabbing onto my hands and pulling me closer.

"My best friend needs me. I'll be back. Or I'll text you." He hugged me tight and then waved as I rode off on my board. It didn't take that long to get to her house, and when I did, she was standing outside looking at her phone.

"What's up?" I asked, throwing my board into the grass and walking up to her. She looked up at me, a dull expression on her face. "Is something wrong?"

All Mariana did was hand me her phone. There was a picture there, my curly hair very identifiable, sitting on Madison's lap and kissing him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, snapping her phone from my hands and putting it in her back pocket.

"You cannot be upset about me not telling you Mariana. It all happened so fast that I really didn't get a chance to tell anyone. Before I knew it I was kissing Madison and we were telling the fans. I'm sorry."

"I thought I was your best friend." Mariana crosse her arms over her chest, narrowing her eyes at me.

"You are my best friend. C'mon. Are you being serious?" I reached my hand out but she just backed up. "Why in the world are you being like this?" I asked, and she just shook her head.

"I just can't believe it. You started dating him today and you are already distant. Am I going to loose you completely now? To him?" I shook my head, and reached out for her once more. She just backed up and went to open her front door.

"Just so you know Reese, I was here for you when Johnny cheated on you, I was here when things weren't so good for your family. Reese i was here for everything and I thought you were practically my sister. I may be getting upset over the stupidest little thing but to me this isn't just some dumb thing. You are like family and to know something like you are now dating some famous poster guy seems like a big deal and I would like to know from you instead of having to find out from twitter. At the end of the summer when Madison leaves, what are you going to do then huh? Long distance? You hate that. You and I both know that you have no idea what you will do then. But when he breaks your heart, just know that I will not be here for you. I hope you know that this all could have been avoided if you atlas just sent me a text about it. I hope he's worth loosing your best friend over."

With that, Mariana went inside and slammed her front door, leaving me outside on her lawn with my mouth open. How can she be mad at that? I don't understand. I don't want to loose her forever. But I can't choose between my best friend and this guy who means this much to me. But right now, I guess I must choose, and I honestly have no idea it will be.
