I washed my face, dried off my black tear stains and applied mascara on this time. As I was walking out the bathroom, this other guy walked out of the men's room asking me a really weird question that I did not expect:
"You too? Hey, I know how it feels, it's okay." He gave me a genuine smile and I just frowned. "Um, thank you?"
We walked out together towards the exit not really saying anything but as we passed Jake and the waitress, James stiffened a little. I knew the reason I was mad...because Jake completely forgot about me and made sure his little "friend" had a place to sit and talk to him. Which was in MY SEAT!!
The guy next to me stared at Melissa like as if he knew her or something. There was a glint of anger and longing in his eyes that wasn't there originally. I shrugged it off and headed towards the exit. He grabbed my hand and lead me out.

When I got home I ran straight to my room and called up my friend Crystal for some support.
"Hello?"
"Hey, um I need to-"
"I'll be right over!"
"Wait what? I didn't even-" But then the phone went dead.
Apparently us friends have a special connection that we can understand each other without having to finish a sentence.
I got out of bed and headed downstairs. I was hungry from all my crying so I decided to make a sandwich. I was just about to reach for my drink when the doorbell rang.
I opened the door to see Crystal who came pretty fast since she lives just around the block.
She had skinny blue jeans with a Black Nike Jacket and hot pink Nikes. She had nice straight Indian hair with amber highlights on her tips. She came in on her hoverboard with her iPhone 6s rose gold plus in her back pocket.
I'm not surprised she has all these things because her dad practically a billionaire! She even has a mansion!
"So hey, what's up? I heard everything and came straight away!" She furrowed her eyebrows due to how concerned she was.
"How could you hear anything? You cut me off before I could finish my sentence"
"I'm sorry I just heard your voice and it sounded stressed so being the friend I am I came to comfort"
I explained the whole story to her. The dinner, the heart break, MELLISA, (ugh).
"First of all we need to meet this girl and beat her to a pulp!" Crystal shouted.
Then I replied "what good will that solve? Come on I need some real advice."
Crystal sighed. "But he knew how much you-" She was hesitant for a moment. "You still haven't told him how you feel...have you?"
I looked down in shame while my silence answered for me.
