Calm Down, Don't Cry

Chapter 4

Vindor opened his eyes and immediately shut them again because of the blinding sunlight. He remembered clearly telling Kelly to not open the curtains if she woke up first. After a few minutes he finally sat up and stretched. He turned his head to see if Kelly was awake. Luckily she was awake, so he could break up with her and kick her out without any complications.

"Hey," She said with a soft tone

"Morning babe" Vindor said giving her a peck on the cheek. There was an awkward silence and he took it as his chance to just tell her how he felt.

"Look Kelly, you are a.....gre...a.....ish girl and I really have enjoyed your company these past 2 weeks but-"

"Don't say it Vindor. I understand... I just want to say that, I only used you for money and I knew you wouldn't spend without getting something in return and frankly I was okay with that. But then I realized that this isn't who I am and this isn't who I want to be"

Vindor scratched his head not knowing how to respond. He just needed her to leave; she was making things more emotional than it had to be. Vindor sighed, put on his boxers, a t-shirt and walked to the door. "I'll see you around" Vindor said emotionless as he opened the door for Kelly to leave. Kelly quickly put on her clothes, grabbed her stuff and started walking out of the room. As she was halfway out the door she stopped. "Can I ask you something?" She asked not facing Vindor

"Yeah"

"Did you ever try and love me?" She slowly turned around looking Vindor deep in his eyes.

"I don't love Kelly, I'm sorry" With that Vindor shut his door and laid on his bed. He didn't want to start thinking, or he would go chase her. He needed a distraction. He pulled out his phone and called his best friend Justin.

'Hello?' Justin answered in a sleepy tone

'Wake up dickhead, I need some company'

'I'm not gay Vindor' Vindor chuckled.

'That's not what you were saying last week babe'

'You need Jesus Vindor' Justin said laughing

'You say this very time I call you'

'Yes because you always find perverted ways to wake me up from my beauty sleep'

'Eh you'll be alright'

Vindor heard some shuffling in the background.

'Okay, I'm up, what can I do for you sir?'

'Kelly and I broke up'

'Oh, I'm sorry bro'

'It's cool, she was a terrible person and she admitted to only using me for my money so I'm not butt hurt'

'Yes you are' Justin said sincerely

I hate that he knows me so well

'Anyway, I need a new girl by tonight, my dad's charity dinner is tomorrow tonight and I need some arm candy'

'In other words, I have to get you a new girlfriend in an hour'

'Not only are you a great best friend, but an outstanding mind reader'

'Haha, I'm glad I prepared before time'

'Who did you get?'

'Jasmine Castro'

'Description?'

'Music freak Castro. Junior, gets decent grades, runs track, short, caramel complexion, brown eyes, long black hair. Only problem is she knows some people in Marty's gang, so you have to be careful if it doesn't work out.'

Vindor took a minute to process everything he had just heard. Maybe he shouldn't jump into a relationship so fast. But then again, he hated to be alone.

'Send me her number'

'Already sent'

'Awesome, thanks. You want to come over and hang out? We can play 2k like we used to.'

'I can't. I'm going to South Africa in about 2 hours'

'Justin, what the hell! Why do you always tell me shit last minute?' Vindor said getting aggravated. He hated when Justin travelled. He would leave for such long periods of time. He still called but Vindor just hated knowing he wasn't next door anymore.

'I'm sorry I forgot'

'Bullshit' Vindor spat. There was a long pause.

'Why are you going to South Africa anyway?' Vindor asked still annoyed.

'My dad has a church there and he wants me to go with him to make sure everything's going well'

'I don't get why you have to go, you don't even like church'

'Vindor... I have to go finish packing, I'll call you later' Vindor sighed

'Can you at least stop by before you go? I mean you only live next door' Vindor asked

'I can't man. I'll come over when I come back'

'Okay'

'Try not to do anything stupid when I'm away'

'Okay'

'Don't be pissed'

'I'm not. Bye' Vindor said hanging up. Of course he was pissed; his best friend kept bailing on him and won't even stop by to say bye.

I need new friends. I'm getting sick of this

Don't be like that Vindor, you and Justin have been best friends since kindergarten, don't give all that up because he can't always be there like he used to.

Vindor shoved the voices out of his head. He needed a release, so he decided to call an old friend.

'Yo Max! What's up man?'

'Vindor? You're not dead yet?'

'Haha very funny'

'What the hell do you want?'

'I just want to catch up, maybe get into a little trouble'

'Nah man, the last time we hung out, I got arrested. I already told you if I see you again, I'm beating your ass.' Vindor sighed.

'Sorry man, I'll leave you alone' Vindor said as he hung up. Vindor and Max used to be close in middle school. But one day they set a house on fire and they got arrested. Even though it was Vindors idea he put the blame on Max, and Max got a year in juvenile detention. That was the last time they talked, till today and Max sounded like he still hate Vindors guts. Vindor needed a plan B.
