-Jade-

My heart was racing a thousand miles per hour, at the sound of his words.

"But Joel...Christopher threw a party just to help me win people over, so that they'll vote for me, I can't just not show up!" I protested.

"Well that's too bad, because you won't make it. Give him a call, Biscocho, I'm sure he'll understand." He declared.

Understand? Did that even sound like Christopher? Anything but that. Especially when it came to me.

I called Christopher, and he picked up the first time.

"Hey Bro! So I'm kinda really busy at the moment, so...would it be ok if we canceled the party, until tomorrow?.."

I heard him sigh disappointedly, "wow why am I not surprised you're ditching me again? And Jade, all these dumbasses already showed up. I can't just kick them out because Queen Jade decided she doesn't feel like coming anymore!"

"I never asked you to do anything." I argued.

"You're right. I don't know why I even bother, considering the fact you don't give a shit about our friendship anymore. "  now he sounded pissed.

"Christopher! Don't start! I'm just busy ok, I promise I'll make it up to you later, we'll play call of Duty and have Chinese take out for dinner, sound good?"


"Well it's not like I can change your mind, right? So bye have fun and use protection!"


"WHAT?! Piss off Christopher, I'll talk to you later!"

"Bye, just know your snot-covered-tissue, aka me, will be here incase that asshole you're with, breaks your heart."


"Bye Christopher!"

"Tell me chica, Do I even happen to know him?"

I hung up, I didn't want him to know I was ditching him for Joel.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say Christopher has a thing for you." Chuckled Joel.

"Hahaha, yeah and I've also got a monkey butler!" I laughed sarcastically.

"Why didn't you tell him you were with me, something wrong with that , Biscocho?" He asks, taking his eyes off the road for a second.

My stomach clenched as I remembered Christopher's words, referring to Joel.

He's trouble, stay away from him. He'll only break your heart. He's Joel Pimentel.

"Because."

"So..?"

"I didn't ...didn't want to hurt his feelings, he's really trying to save our friendship and I ugh.." I felt guilty.

No scratch that, super mega guilty with a cherry on top.

What was wrong with me? Before I met Joel, ditching Christopher would never have crossed my mind.

I went back to looking out the window, letting out a very heavy sigh.

Christopher's my bestfriend, he's been there for me through thick and thin. Why can't I trust him as much as I used to , months ago?

"Don't be upset, baby. " Joel said, as I felt his hand touch my thigh.

"Ay no don't start." I pleaded, as his hand started running up and down my inner thigh.
