Taking Out A Player

Chapter 4

Tori POV:

"Pettyyy," I said as I laughed.

"I gotta be," Bre replied.

I kept laughing.

"I told you I was going to call them girls chicken heads," she said.

"They know what they are."

We both laughed.

When Bre sent that message to those girls, she also sent one to me and her so that we could have a copy of the list.

Bre was crazy for writing that stuff down and calling them girls that.

I swear it was hard to distract Jack for a while, but it was worth it.

Bre looked through the list on the message.

Bre and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. The fact we are cousins made our bond stronger because we know we're blood.

Bre and I are kinda opposites. I'm bright skinned while Bre a few shades darker. I'm thick while Bre is skinny.

I'm the "girly girl" between us because I care about how I look and wear make up. Bre doesn't care what she look like as long as she look decent enough to go out, but she do have her moments where she put on lipstick.

Even though we're nothing alike, we act about the same. We both love food and sleep. We both honor students. We both like to read, but Bre is more into it than I am.

Bre is wifeyyy/ best friend. When she left, I got upset, but we still talk to each other and spend nights over each other house, so it wasn't so bad.

"You know Jack tried to kiss me," she said without looking at me.

"When?" I asked surprised.

"Yesterday," she said unemotionally.

I stared at her. She didn't tell me this last night when she came back over my house.

"Well, did you kiss him?"

She glared at me like I said something stupid. "Of course not."

"Why didn't you?" I asked as I push her shoulder with mine.

Bre rolled her eyes and sighed. "Really?"

"I'm just asking," I said.

"If Copper had a lot of hoes and tried to kiss you even though you're trying to stop him from pimping, would you kiss him back?" she asked.

"Hell yea! Fuck them hoes!"

Copper was my ex boyfriend. We dated for a year before we had broke up. His real name was Carter, but Bre nicknamed him Copper because he had an orange-like complexion. Carter moved away the same time Bre left. It wasn't bad because we broke up months before, but it still hurt. I loved him.

Bre rolled her eyes. "You're impossible."

"Like girl, I know you still love Jack," I began. "You wouldn't have done this with me if you didn't. When y'all dated, I knew there was something real between y'all. You just don't get into a relationship, putting all your love into it, and bounce back out without still having those feelings. Y'all still love each other even if y'all haven't seen each other in a while."

She was silent. She looked lost in those words that I'd said. After a few seconds, she said, "Love is a very strong word to describe something we didn't have."

Ever since Bre and Jack broke up, Bre's emotions been all over the place. It was so bad that she kinda got bipolar. When she left, she took it as time to reciprocate.

I'm proud that she didn't go out with different guys. She didn't play around with guys to fill her heart. She did date someone for four months, but they broke up.

What bothered me was that Bre deny about what her and Jack had was real. I don't completely blame her. It hurt her bad when it come down between her and Jack. I guess she feel better denying the feelings than remembering the truth in their love. Still, she can't keep doing this forever.

I was about to say something when my phone started ring.

"Well, speaking of the devil," I said.

Bre looked at my phone and saw that Jack was calling. In my phone, Jack name was "Big Bro".

She shook her head. "He doesn't know I'm over here. Don't tell him."

I nodded as I answer the call and put it on speaker.

"Hello," I said sweetly.

"All my hoes dropped me," Jack's voice angrily said.

Bre and I stared at each other surprise with both our mouth drop open.

"What?" I asked.

"I don't know how, but all my hoes found out about each other. They all went off on me and left me," he said.

I was shocked.

Bre and I wanted this to happen, don't get me wrong, but we never expected for us to succeed.

I thought that probably one or two of those girls would drop him. Bre thought all those girls would stay with him because they're a bunch of chickenheads that's only smart enough to follow a man around.

Either way we didn't expect that ALL of them would leave him.

"Hey, those chickenhead girls do have self-respect for themselves," Bre whispered.

I smile. She's so mean.

"What you think happen?" I asked.

I had to know how much he knows.

"I don't know. I think someone went through my phone and snitch to those girls." He sighed. "I think Bre had something to do with it."

I gasp and looked at Bre. All she did was flip the phone off and rolled her eyes.

"Why would you think that?" I asked him.

"Cos, yesterday, when I came over your house, she was alone in my house with my phone. She could've done something," he said frustrated.

"I sho' did," Bre silently mouthed at the phone while rolling her head.

"Well, how could she know your password?" I asked.

"I don't know. This shit started after she left my house, so it had to be her," he said.

"Well, did you ask her?" I asked.

I know he didn't because I would've heard that conversation between them.

"Nawl. She would just get mad and shit," he said.

"So what you going to do?"

He sighed. "I don't know. Last night, Mariah popped up when me and Gina was suppose to go out, and then Lassie showed up." He sighed again. "I really don't know what to do."

I knew who he was talking about. I had met all of them. I didn't like any of them probably expect Lassie, but only because she was nice and a bit naïve. I wasn't going to be the one to tell her that Jack had hoes. Then again I kinda did.

"I got to figure this shit out. I'll talk to you later," he said.

"Ok," I said.

We both said bye and hung up.

I looked at Bre. She was scrolling down on her phone.

"So," she said without taking her eyes off her phone. "Who are Mariah, Gina, and Lassie."
