Blindfold (Book One)

8. Question

Jim's POV

"Yes Jim? What is going on?" says Amelie through the phone.

"Can you come to my house in 5 minutes?" I ask.

"Um...sure. I'll be there."

She hangs up and I walk to the door, trying to contain my tears.

A few minutes later, there is a knock. I look through the window and I see her, beautiful, brown hair moving with the wind.

I slowly open the door, and look at her.

"Come in," I say, seriously.

"Jim, what's going on?" she says, sounding worried.

"Amelie," I start, looking at the floor. "I won't be your maid of honor."

"Why?" she asks.

"I thought about it, and...I do care what people say about it, about me. Plus, I hate Jason. He is a complete jerk, and you are the stupidest person I know for being in love with him." I try to contain my tears as much as I can. Of course I don't think she is stupid.

"JIIIMMM!!" she says, sounding surprised and offended. "What the hell?!"

"Also, how selfish of you for not thinking about how I would feel," I continue.

"Feel how about what???!!!!" she asks.

"Just leave, I don't want to see you again."

"WHAT?!" she asks, sounding mad now.

"EVER again."

"And now you are the one that is mad, when you just offended me in MY FACE!!!!!" she says, angrily. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

I don't turn to look at her. I can feel tears sinking my eyes, my vision. The promise we made about not drifting apart has been broken, and all because of Jason.

"Ok, you know what? FINE! I'll leave, just don't look for me, never, and have in mind that YOU were the one who screwed this up, not me."

I can see that she is in tears, about to cry. She opens the door and slams it behind her.

My heart sinks and I can't feel my legs. I finally let the tears come out, giving up. My life is nothing without Amelie in it.

Not to be a bad person, but honestly, I hope someday, Jason pays for everything he's done.

Amelie's POV

I am running to my house in tears. I have absolutely no idea why Jim acted the way he did. This is not him, this is not my best friend. He would never tell me those things and really mean them. But maybe Jason was right, maybe Jim is actually selfish, but I never noticed it because I always thought of Jim like he was the best man ever, I had him way up in the say as a good guy.

I finally get to my house and grab my phone, texting the girls.

Ladies please come to my place as soon as you can.

A few minutes later, my phone starts sounding and I receive series of answers from the girls saying they will be here right away.

The girls arrive at my house almost at the same time. They all come upstairs urgently, looking worried.

"What is happening?!" asks Melissa, as she sees me in tears.
