I lied back down on the hammock after Johnnie left and closed my eyes, hoping to get some rest; that was until i realized what I just did. My eyes shot open and I ran back into Alex's house. Seeing Jeydon had left I though that Alex must have back into her room, I walked up he stairs and sure enough she was lying on her bright green bean bag, nearly asleep.
"I just kissed Johnnie." I said my voice was calm but full of disbelief and guilt for kissing someone who wasn't my boyfriend, and to male madders worse he was dating Emily.
Alex lied there for a second, probably to tired to fully processes what I had just told her and in response only opened on eye and did her best to look at me in the passion she was in before closing her eye again and started humming softly before she suddenly stopped and her eyes shot open and she jumped up from the bean bag, now fully awake.
"You did WHAT?!" She practically screamed.
"I kissed Johnnie." I said quietly hanging my head down in shame.
"KYLE WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU KISS JOHNNIE, WHILE HE'S DATING EMILY- NOT TO MENTION YOUR DATING SOMEONE TOO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"I don't know..... it's just- we were lying on the hammock and we were talking and next thing I knew he and Damon were leaving and...... I just kissed him and he didn't seem mad or anything.... he just seemed.. shocked."
"WELL OF COURSE HE WOULD BE SHOCKED HIS BEST FRIEND WHOM HE HASN'T TALKED TO IN OVER TWO WEEKS BECAUSE HE STARTED DATING SOMEONE ELSE KISSED HIM! WHAT ELSE IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO? JUST GO 'OH IT'S COOL IF YOU KISS ME, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND'!" She crossed her arms and stared at me for a minute before sighing and flopping onto the bean bag and groaning.
"Why does everything need to be so complicated just because Johnnie just started dating Emily?"
I simply shrugged my shoulders and sat next to her on the bed. After about ten minutes of just just sitting in silence Alex sat up and sighed.
"Kyle, you know we can't keep doing this." She said. And honestly, it hurt, her voice sounded like it wanted to be sympathetic and I know she really wanted to be but it just couldn't- and I fully understood why.
"I know, it's just- I don't know what to do. I don't really even like Jeydon, but i can't lead him on and I'm still not over Johnnie and it's just-"
I tried to say something else but I couldn't I just broke down crying and burred my face into my hands. I don't know how long I stayed like that, all I felt was Alex rubbing my back "shhhhh" she just kept telling me that it would be okay and tried helping as well as she could.
It wasn't until my phone went off that I stopped crying. I picked up my phone to see Jeydon had texted me. I opened the message and the second I read it I felt my stomach drop. Alex looked at me with concern for a second before looking over at my phone and her face filling with a mix of shock and surprise I just read what it said over and over.
Jeydon: come over we need to talk NOW
