chapter 15

Jared's POV

:you don't even have to ask. I said before I hung up the phone.

"Who was it?" Dezi repeated her question, still standing by the edge of the door in her robe.

"Why do you care" as much as I was with her, it seemed like she loved me more than I loved her.

"You mentioned Amanda, she's my best friend I need to know." She looked at me pleadingly.

I took a few seconds before answering. "Johns' back in her life." She looked back surprised. "You shocked?, I thought you were supposed to be her bestfriend."

I could see she was starting to realize her neglection.

"I still am, can you tell me what's going." She blurted out.

I explained everything from the start.."And now I have to go with a trip with my best bro, I'm sure because of Amanda. You know what, I'm kinda glad they are done. She's caused too many problems for my best friend."

She laughed "If John still loves her it shows she is still the good person I knew. Amanda is kind, she would never hurt anyone without good reasons. I have never.."

"Shut up." I interrupted her. " stop trying to sell her. If Amanda was such a good person, then tell me when last you went to see her. I'm sure since you moved here, you've never went to see her. Or what is it, gas money to much to pay to even see her."

She slapped me, I saw it coming. I grinned holding the side of my face.

"You have no right to say that." She walks passed me and starts to pack. "I think you should leave Jared,I need to go see my best friend and you have a flight."

"It's only night" I protested.

She threw me with a bunch of clothes. "Then see this as a head start to pack, get out."

"Dezi we'll talk when you're cooled down." I got up and walked towards the door.

"Yea" I heard her say before I left.

*************

I got home after a very long drive. Why do I go to her house instead of the other way around. I don't get why she is so far away from her so-called best friend.

I threw all my clothes on the bed. I'm sure it's Amanda whose getting him like this. As much as John wasn't a party animal before he wasn't this sad then.

My thoughts keep me restless. Ya its good that my best friend is moving on. But a sense of guilt keeps coming up. I don't know why. But in any case, he needs me and I'm gonna be there.

Like the time I didn't wanna go to the schools athletic competition and since he couldn't run, he joined the photography team just to be there with me.

We've been through thick and thin him and I. And as much as I'm more how can you say...wild, he's the base that neutralizes me.

The peanut butter on my bread. The keyboard to my laptop and the sense to my pick up lines.

I would do anything for him. He's been more of a brother than my actual brother. He doesn't deserve this pain, Amanda doesn't deserve him and I'm glad he realized it. With help or not.

I packed everything and looked at the time

04:56

Well I could go sleep, or watch a movie. Yea I'll sleep on the plane. I wore my black robe and sleepers and went to the lounge. With the remote in my hand and my legs on the table, I turned it on. Watching like a king.

I texted John when I should be at the airport. I'm sure he's asleep but he'll see the message when he wakes up. I put the phone down but it immediately buzzed.

- 7:00

I didn't think he'd be awake but I guess he also can't sleep but because of different reasons.

I sighed. "Oh John" zoning out I shook my head and my mind was back on the movie.

Just a few hours before I have to go. I called Dezi.

: hey tell me you're ohk. I asked immediately when I saw she picked up the phone.

: I'm fine. She said softly

: I'm sorry I got you like that, I really wasn't thinking.

: its fine, I'm just a bit sad. I realize I haven't been there but that's going to change. I love you. She said as she dropped.

Oh well I guess, problem solved?I put the phone down, I paused the TV so I went to my room. Made sure everything was fine for the trip, and put the bags downstairs.

I put them there and went back to watching my movie. Play. I pressed the button and Jumpers continued to play.

One cool movie. If I could jump, you'd never see me in these parts of town. I'd already be in France. Not literally jump but teleport.

I thought about John again. And every time, I thought of Amanda. My face turned sour. Like a baby being fed his own shit. I just slowly began to hate her.

People might say there's a fine lining between hate and love but where does lust fit because I don't blame John for his choice.

She is something else, closest I could get to her was Dezi. Now I live with that. Don't get me wrong. She's the second nicest person you can know. But Amanda she's just too sweet.

"Too sweet."I said as I licked my bottom lips.
