Chapter |20|: Jealousy can drive you crazy

And Now here I am. Sitting in the back of a café stuffing my face as tears threatened to fall. Crying is unnecessary right now.

Here I was the day he got drunk thinking he slept with some woman and Instead he called his ex and told her he still loves her. How do you handle so much? It's sad to say I wish I was an outcast like Mya right now.

The bell on the door rung and I looked up seeing Zach walking over to me.

"I'm not Hailey" I said and he ignored my comment and sat down in front of me.

"I came to see if you were fine"

"That's it?"

He closed his eyes and sighed but opened them and looked at me unfazed.

"I should be the last one you try and hurt with your words."

"You should? Because you're a terrible best friend and Maurice is a terrible boyfriend. Both of you belong together"

"I accept that" He said. "But I regret it. Maurice. We've known each other forever and I seen his parents hurt him. And to think I brought him pain tonight that his parents haven't yelled gave him. Betrayal. And you've brought him heartbreak"

"What about what he gave me? Does that not matter to anyone?"

"It does. It does and I'm sorry. Hailey. She did this on purpose"

"No she did this because she thought you had a crush on her but that's just me right Zach? Like stealing your friends girls?"

"No I don't actually. The idea when we all met was something else. Before all of this nonsense broke out"

"Then what was the plan?"

First Day.

"Look" Zach said while pointing at Mya and Faith. Maurice looked up from texting Hailey and his gaze landed on the girls.

"So?"

"They're like the hottest girls here, Which one you call dibs on?"

"Neither" Maurice said simply. "You know I'm with Hailey"

"Yeah you both remind me like every day of my life. Don't you want to actually have fun? Thought that was your motto this year?"

"Yes it is, But I can't just disobey my girlfriend. Cheating isn't something I do and you know that"

"And that's why I love you" Hailey smiled while hugging Maurice from behind. "Hello Zachary"

He rolled his eyes. "Well hello Hailey"

"You two look great, Excited?"

"Nope" Zach said honestly. The only reason he even came was because he wanted to be there for his best friend and finally become a professional DJ like he always wanted to be. His family is already rich because of his dad being a professional baseball player but that's not what he felt like was fun anymore since he was 5. Music was his life.

"I would expect that from you"

"Yeah" Zach fake laughed. "How about you go get our room number for us?"

"Okay, I'll be back sweetie" She said kissing Maurice before leaving.

Zach made a fake gagging noise and his best friend punched his shoulder.

"Can you once be nice to her?"

"You know I can. If you come with me to talk to those girls"

"I told you-"
