Being the Bad Girls Best Friend- Slowly Updating

Chapter 17

I was surprised no one asked us to keep quiet even though we were making too much noise. As we were watching the movie, I saw Christiana getting closer to Terrance and she kissed him. When i saw that, I felt as if my heart had just literally broken into pieces. She kissed him, she lip kissed him, while her boyfriend was by me. I turned to Cobby, he was on his phone, always not caring about anything, and turned to Jed who was also looking in the same direction I was. I felt how he would have been feeling by then. The poor thing didn't want to hurt Christiana too.

So I told Cobby, ''I am going home with Jed. You coming?" He nodded and told Terry and Christiana who were now holding hands. They followed right behind us. When we got to the exit, the guard over there said, "you kids made a lot of noise. So you have to pay something before leaving. Pay 20 cedis before you can leave, 20 cedis EACH!" I, not in the mood for any of what was happening, walked out of the door when the guard held my arm. I turned and looked at him, I said, "would you get your filthy arms off me before I destroy yout hopes of ever having children?'' With that, he let go and I ran outside. Cobby followed me and said, "now, how did you do it? Is it your wonderful looks or the fact that you have a lot of zeal?" I smiled and told him, "you could combine them both."

He unlocked the car and opened the door to the car for me. Jed sat inside first, I was sitting between the both of them again. So we more like maintained our positions when we were going back home, first, we dropped Jed home.

When he got down, I told him, "Don't be too stressed out Jeddie, and try to call he tonight." he winked and turned towards his house. We then dropped off at Christiana's house. Terry took the lead without Cobby. I was sure Cobby will be sleeping over today too.

When I entered the house and hit my phone on the centre table, I shouted at Christiana, "what was your aim for all that you did today?'' I said with an angry tone. She just shrugged. She getting me angrier, I said, "hell no Christiana, I am in no mood for shrugs. Do you even know how Jed felt from all that you were doing with Terry? Oh! I forgot, you were busy with your flirting job.'' She decided to talk, "if all you are going to do is insult me, you might just as well leave here. Or even better, don't sleep here tonight. Leave!''

I was surprised and hurt but I acted as if I had everything under control, I said, "Fine, I'll leave. I wont sleep here tonight. It won't bother me." "Fine, go! " she said. "Fine I'm going, there's no use sleeping here anyways." With that, I picked my phone and stormed out of the house. As I went out, she shouted, " its not my fault that I am beautiful." "If you see me in school, move to the other way, Do not cross my path." "Its nOt mY FauLt I'm BeaUTiful", I mimicked. I thought, how does that even relate to the present situation. I turned and walked out. I went to Cobby and said, "can we go to your house? I will be sleeping over at your place today." He nodded and we started walking to his house. He asked me to tell him what happened when we got home, seeing that I was in no mood for talking. He stretched his hand, and i put my palm in his, and we walked hand in hand. He told me, "you should actually see how you look right now, you look wretched and wrecked.'' I pushed his shoulder and smiled.

After about 20 minutes of walking, we finally arrived at his residence. He lived in a mansion, he looked so simple but he actually was not. His house had 4 storeys and it was painted white. As I entered through the door, I was shocked out of the shocking state. I dropped my mouth and stood stationary for some minutes until Cobby said, "Ellie, you might want to close your mouth before you catch a fly." I laughed and said, ''I'm pretty sure that this house is a not a place a fly will want to be, it's so clean. Holy smokes! This house is blazing!" He just took my hand and I run with him on the staircase, which seemed to never end. When we reached the top of the staircase, I was profusely sweating and breathing in and out. I asked Cobby, ''how many steps are on this staircase?'' He replied, ''it has 35 steps and Ellie, why are you breathing soo much? You really need to exercise more," I rolled my eyes and smiled sarcastically . He directed me to his room, his room was like a cinema hall. That might be considered as an over exaggeration but it was huge. I saw pictures of Jason Durelo, Justin Beiber, August Alsina, Nick Jonas, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown. I also saw a few picturws of Nicki Minaj. I looked at the room with awe.

I jumped onto his king sized bed and threw my shoes. He then said, '' feel at home Ellie." I replied, "I already feel at home bruh. At least it's peaceful here than at Christina's.'' He shook his head went downstairs to get a drink or something. I saw his apple laptop on the bed, and I decided to watch a movie ,when I pressed the enter key, there was a password. I thought of using my name, so I typed Ellie and that was actually correct. I checked web browser and all I saw was Pornography. I just kept on pressing the close button and I pressed it like 20 times. I wasnt even done when Cobby entered, ''Cobby, really? Why so much porn? I want to watch a movie and it has to be porn, porn and porn," yi said with disappointment. He looked down and said, "ah well, I am sorry but I already told you I am addicted. Wait, so you found out the password?''

"Yes I did Cobby. I figured it out. That's sweet though, that my name is your password. But Cobby I don't know if you are trying well enough because if you were, you would have stopped doing that a long time ago. By the way, can I have my can of coke?" I said stretching out my arm. After he had given me the coke, I got up from the bed and gave him a hug. I squeezed him so tight because that was what i needed at that time. I had just been sad today by my best friend. As all these thoughts run through my head, tears began to form in my eyes I let it all out. All the anguish and the grief of trying to make someone like me. Cobby noticing me crying wiped my tears and said, ''now please tell me what happened. Because the Ellie I have known for about two weeks does not cry for no reason."

I told Cobby everything, from when Jed came to the car to when Christiana sacked me out of her house. Cobby told me that, one of the worst things to do in friendship is to fight with your friend over a boy. I told him that, it was because of how she made Jed feel, bored me. "But what she did was not fair Cobby. And you witnessed it by yourself, she didn't even make her driver take us home, we had to walk back home." "Yes it was wrong but that's not for you to deal with, it's her own fault and it's her own problem. If you let it bother you, you're really just harming yourself. Just relax okay." He hugged me and said, "poor you Ellie. You are going to school tomorrow so it will be better if you drank your coke and slept." I took his advice and before I slept, I kissed Cobby's cheek and tucked myself up in bed.
