"talk to the boy. if not for him or you, then for me." jaxx whispered in arabella's ear, playing with her hair.
jaxx left the room to go get a drink and left arabella in the room all by her lonesome.
arabella's phone continued to ring and continue to ignore it. she finally picked her phone up and read through the messages. another message appeared and when arabella read it, she felt like puking.
lucas: i love you please
"jaxx. jaxx. jaxx." arabella cried out for her best friend.
jaxx came bursting through the hotel room door. "what is it? is everything okay?"
"look at the last message." arabella quivered, cowering away from her phone.
"holy beyoncé. jesus, bella. what are you gonna do?"
"i'm not gonna speak to him, obviously."
"what? why?"
tears welled up in the eighteen year old's eyes. "because i kinda love him too."
"good, what's the problem?" confusion etched across jaxx's face.
"i don't want to hurt him and i don't want him to hurt me."
"oh, babe." jaxx whispered. "here, look. what was your life like before he came into it?"
"decent. i had you guys and that was all i needed."
"okay, i feel flattered. now, what was your life like after he came into it?"
"euphoric," arabella answered with no hesitation.
"euphoric?" jaxx said, confusion laced in her tone.
"it's the only word i could ever think of to describe it. you and i both know i suck at words."
jaxx nodded. "alright. which do you prefer?"
"i prefer to have him in my life, obviously, but one of us are gonna end up hurt and i definitely don't want that."
"okay. to feel euphoria while being just friends with him or to just feel decent again?"
"jaxx, i don't want him to get hurt. my god, do you not understand that?"
"i do, completely. but you've been better off with him around. i'm just saying he's good for you and that you're being a complete idiot by dropping him."
"thank you, for telling me what i needed to hear."
"you know it. now talk to that boy." jaxx says defiantly, pulling arabella into a hug.
"love ya, jaxxson."
"love you too, arabella."
arabella then grew some fucking balls and messaged luke back.
