Nothing Gold Can Stay

Chapter 5

Alex's gay. I thought that for a second like everyone looked at me.

"Angie?" Alex finally said walking towards me, "What are you doing here?", just as he was about to grab my arm I quickly flinched away.

"You aren't suppose to be here" he said a little annoyed, that's when I finally got pissed.

As he went to grab me again I moved away.

"I'm not suppose to be here!!! I'm not, since when do you tell me what to do!!!" I yelled at his face, while he stood there shocked at my outburst.

"Angie calm down and go home, nothing happened" he said calmly.

"Nothing!! Nothing happened!!! Is that what your telling me Alex!!! You just kissed a fuckin guy and your saying nothing happened!!!" I laughed, it wasn't a happy laugh though "You lied to me many times!!!! you left me when I most needed you!!!, you weren't there for me when my family died!!, you didn't help me at all!, and you broke your promise and my trust." I finished quietly.

"I cant believe you wouldn't tell me, your bestfriend that you were gay, I would've been okay with it you know, I wouldn't of told no one" I said sincerely, and I meant it, no matter how much it hurt, id give up my happiness for my bestfriend.

"But you know the worst thing of all" I said finally "you broke our friendship."

He stayed quiet for a moment, as if debating what to say next, "I'm sorry" he finally said, then stayed quiet.

"Ha! Sorry, that's it! That's all you have to say!"

"Well what do you want me to say you fuckin bitch!!!" he yelled at me angrily. That was the first time he cussed or yelled at me, EVER. "A-A-Angie, I-I-Im s-sorry, I didn't mean I-it, I swear." he said clearly sorry, but it was too late he'd said.

"Your out" I whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"What!?" he asked incredulously, as if he couldn't believe what I just said, I couldn't either.

"Your out of the group and the band, if you wanna get back your gonna have to show-"

"Ha! Your kicking me out!" He said and I saw as he changed from my bestfriend to a whole different person.

"Well guess fuckin what, I don't give a damn!!! That band is worth no shit without me so goodluck in that competition coming up!!! Hope you and those losers lose!!!" Now insulting me is something, but insulting my friends was a whole different story.

"Well stay the fuck away from us, and if I see your face again it wont look the same, you, you stupid  asshole." I yelled at his face as I saw pain cross his face features but quickly disappear.

"Hey Alex, just leave her man!" as I turned around to see who had spoken and saw it was the guy Alex had been making out with.

"Yeah sure thing babe" he said as he turned around and left me there all by myself.

I turned around and started running, I ran as fast as I could as far as I could from that place. The only bad thing is I didn't notice where I was running and ended up lost in  the middle of nowhere. Scared and tired I went in a old 70's cute looking dinner up ahead of the road, which seemed the only store to be open.

As I went inside I could hear the slight jingle of the bells warning someone there was an customer but no one showed up. Shrugging I went ahead and sat down in one of the booths laying down on it with my head hanging of the side. Going back through the events that just past made that numb feeling start to rise up again and depress me, but I wouldn't let it, I would be strong, just like I had promised, so I pushed that thought to the back of my head.

"Um, are you going to order?" someone asked

As I opened my eyes to see who it was I came in contact with the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen, they were a deep dark bright forest green, if that even makes sense. I sat up  to see him better, he had black fringy hair that kinda covered his eyes, he was wearing dark skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with a white apron on top, he was emo looking but he was HOT.

I guess he saw me staring and blushed as he's cheeks turned lightly pink, making me blush back in embarrassment.

"N-no" I  answered sighting deeply, suddenly feeling really stressed.

"Are you alright?" he asked looking at me concerned.

"No" I answered truly sick of keeping everything in, its not like I would ever see him after today anyway.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked sitting down, nervousness forgotten.

Sighting I started telling him all the events that happened in the last few weeks of my life. "And now we don't have a drummer in the band and the competition is in a few weeks...and...and-" I finished in the verge of panicking.

"Im a drummer" he suddenly blurted out blushing afterwards.

"You are!? I almost screamed excitedly "Can you be our drummer!? You can join the band and be in the competition with us! You get paid for competing and if we win well split the money! And if you want to you can leave when we find a replacement after! Im sure the band will be okay with it and happy to have you! Please!?"

"U-um I-I d-don't k-know...m-maybe" he said

"Please" putting as much emotion as I could into it.

"Well I do need the money" He mumbled, "And id be happy to help you and your band"

"Yes, thank you!" I said relived and thankful. " My names Angel Helvis"

"Johnny Elike"
