Good Riddance

Chapter 7

(Alex POV)

I was eating the ugliest rice in my entire life, when I saw Jen. Her perfect figure, her stunning smile, made me the happiest guy in the entire world. I grinned, but she didn't see that. She sat next to John.

Why do  girls love John? I was asking myself. He always had everything. The status of the most popular guy, even though I was the captain of the football team; the most perfect marks at school and most important, the girl that I loved- Jennifer. 

I love her dark brown, cocoa like, hair, always straight, smooth and shiny, her green almond shape eyes which look makes the world stop for a moment, her snow white skin, cool as ice. She was always my best friend, but I felt something more than that. I was in love with her; unfortunately she was head over heels for that douche John. I listened every talk about John, how handsome or smart he is. That was killing me inside.

I was staring at Jen, while she was eating her lunch, laughing on Peter's stupid jokes.  She was so beautiful, I loved her, but I didn't want to share her with him. He didn't deserve her; he was vain idiot with the biggest self-confidence.

“Dude, stop staring” Cam said to me.

Erika was looking at me with a pity.

“Why did you leave her like that?” Erika asked me.

“I hated the smell of John on her skin. I hate him. I don't want to share her with him” I yelled.

“Calm down” Ginny told me.” Jen loves you” she said giving an accent to “you”.

I then looked again at her and realized her hand on John's thigh. I wanted to go there, say to that douche that she loves me and literally, kill him. I had to do something; something to separate them.

Jen stood up and went upstairs. I did take that chance and followed her. I knocked on her door.

“John, you are early” I heard her saying.

She opened the door and saw me instead. She raised her eyebrow and tried to close the door.

“Don't!” I yelled. She was shocked, terrified.

“John will come, so leave” She said cold as ice.

“That was it? You told me you love me. Obviously you don't. You are selfish you know” I shouted.

“Selfish? You left me, you pushed me away Alex, and I am being selfish?” she screamed. Her eyes were suddenly full of tears. She covered her eyes with her pretty, little hands.

“I hate to share you with him. I hate it when you smell of his perfume. I can't stand him” I tried to explain, taking her hands.

“You should have told me that” she said, as a tear rolled on her smooth cheek.

“Babe don't” I whispered and whipped the tear with my thumb.

“Go Alex, please” she whispered and closed the door.

I was standing in the hall, stunned. I didn't want to lose her. I couldn't let him win! I had to fight.

I saw John coming. The second he saw me, his eyes filled with anger;

“You are always nearby my girlfriend. I hope for your own good, it is coincidence.” He said angrily, with his rough voice..

“Dude, she is my best friend. What the hell?” I lied, and walked away. “Later” I said and waved my hand, lazily.

Ugh, how much I hated him. If killing was legal, I would kill him a hundred times. The thing, that she was with him at that momen,t depressed me. I laid on the bed and plugged the headphones to my green IPOD. I played “return the favor” by All time low and tried to relax and forget everything.
