Chapted 11; Good Advice And Bad Coffee

Alexs P.O.V

"MANDY!" I yelled at her right as I got in her car and slammed the door. I couldnt believe he was doing these awful things because of me. And what he said about Keaton.. It really hit me hard.

"Woah.. Calm down. What the hell is up with you?" She asked as she flicked her long blonde curly hair over her shoulder.

"You gave Wesley weed? The whole reason we moved was for you to get away from that stuff! And Wesley? Why would you do it!" I said trying not to yell.

"You dont understand.." She said as she started driving out of there driveway.

Typical.

"Oh really? Then make me understand. Or else im telling mom." I smirked as I crossed my arms.

"I didnt even give him it! All he did was text me, and I gave him one of the girls I hang out withs number!" She said as we stopped at a red light.

"Truthfully?" I asked hoping she was being truthful.

"Truthfully." She said as she gave me a sad smile.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked. I felt like I needed to tell her, even though she may not be my favorite person at times, I knew I could trust her.

"Yeah of course." She said as she continued to drive towards our house.

"Wesley.. Well, Uh.. I'll just tell you what happend.. Drew, Keaton and I we're all watching a movie and Keaton fell asleep, and then Wesley came home acting all weird and then Drew asked him why he gets high for no reason and then he said "I love her and she doesnt love me" and he pointed at me and then Keaton woke up and thats when I texted you and then Wesley said it was Keatons fault and tried to go at him, and Keaton just went upstairs and didnt even do anything to stop them yelling and then I got up to leave and then Wesley said that you hooked up him or whatever and then right before I was supposed to leave, he said "Keaton doesnt love you anymore" and I dont even know. Its just stressful" I said quickly which left me out of breath.

"Wow.. Hes really taking this hard." She said as she frowned a little.

I shook my head in agreement.

"Are you looking for advice? Because I got some that might help." She said as she turned on a different road rather than our road.

"Yeah, sure. Lets hear it. But first why did you just turn on Main Street? Our house is the other way." I stated.

"We can talk at Starbucks. I want coffee, and you should have some hot chocolate. I remember when grandma used to give you that whenever you were feeling down. It always cheered ya up." She said as she smiled.

I thought of the memories I had back when I was younger, It was good to be reminded of them. I was greatful to have a sister who actually would go out of her way to help me.

"Thank you." I said as a small smile came upon my lips.

"Dont mention it. Seriously. Dont. It might get around school and it'd just ruin my rep." She said as she laughed.

I playfully hit her and laughed.

At starbucks she got our drinks and we made our way to a secluded tabel on the far left near the fire place that I didnt even know Starbucks had.

"So that advice you were going to give me.." I said as I took a sip of my hot chocolate which made me feel warm.

"First off with Keaton, he shouldve stopped the yelling or shouldve helped you out, ya know? But that doesnt mean he doesnt love you. Dont believe what Wesley said. Believe what your heart tells ya." She said as she put her hands near the fire to warm up.

I was a little suprised at first, I never really thought of Mandy as someone wise who would be giving me good advice.

"Youre right.. Thanks.. But what about Wesley? I feel so bad about this whole thing.. I feel like Keaton feels gulity about it." I said as I frowned.

She sighed and sat up straight looking at me.

"You guys need to talk. Thats the best advice I can give ya. Just text him right now, tell him you guys need to and he will as soon as possible. Just try to solve things. And never get this coffee. Its disgusting" She said and she held up her 'Double Fudge Coffee'.

I laughed at her, but I was kind of iffy about the whole talk to Wesley thing but I decided to do what she said.

I took out my phone and texted Wesley.

"Wesley.. We really need to talk. As soon as possible.. Please.."
