It's a Struggle Being Infatuated With Someone You Have an Urge To Murder.

He Doesn't Like Me.

"Look I'll give you drugs just please don't hurt us." Maria's panicky voice echoed through the stall.

"Give me the drugs and then we'll see what we can do." The man bellowed as his footsteps sounded further away each time.

Pushing the bathroom stall door open, Maria gave me the coldest glare.

"I'm sorry I panicked." I said sorrowfully, softly grabbing her shoulder.

"Yeah well now we're probably gonna get our ass beat because of you." She said coldly, shoving my hand off of her shoulder.

And she was right, we got out of there pretty bruised up. My forehead had a huge bloody cut across it and my arms were practically purple, while Maria had a swollen cheek and a black eye.

"Wanna stay at my place just like old times?" I asked, my voice unsteady.

"Sure, but this doesn't mean I forgive you... I just wanna see how big your collection of heads got." She said as she attempted to chuckle but instead ended up coughing up saliva.

"... 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10 geez someones collection grew drastically" Maria slightly grinned as she held the packet of frozen peas I gave her up to her cheek.

"What can I say... I'm pretty good at what I do." I said cockily slightly smirking.

"Ok then if you says so..." She trailed off, "Look I know you're not the best person to ask for advice, but I have a problem."

"Just one?" I joked as I glanced at her.

"Ha ha very funny" She replied sarcastically, "But in all seriousness... I think I want to break up with Dan." She said, her voice lowering just as her gaze did.

"Wait seriously?" I questioned, apart of me felt bad for her but another part of me was just... ecstatic.

"Yeah I -mean I don't really enjoy his company anymore and plus I think he's into this other guy"  She snorted out of disbelief.

"Do you know who?" I questioned pushing further.

"No you loser, even if I did I'd beat that dicks ass for stealing my mans heart." She growled, her head practically ready to explode of anger.

"Hm I suppose you need to ease down the stress? I have the perfect solution... what does a jar of mayonnaise say when it hears a funny joke?"

"What?" Maria groaned rolling her eyes.

"Lmayo" I grinned about to burst into laughter.

"I'm going to bed." Was all she said before she dissapeared into the other room of the basement.

"Thanks for letting me sleep at your place, but I have some business to take care off x"

Groggily rubbing my eyes, I quietly let out a sigh kind of confused as to what she meant when she wrote "but I have some business to take care off" .

Strangely I felt this... sensation at the pit of my stomach, I think it's the uneasiness as if I'm actually worried about her.

Well that's a first.

Not having anything planned this day I just lie back down onto my bed and stare at the grey molding ceiling.

As I had done so  my phone started vibrating, grasping it from beside me I check who's calling.

"What's up Dan?" I answered my phone casually.

  "She broke up with me." Dan repeatedly gasped over the line, it's as if he was crying.

"Do you want me to come over?" I asked immediately not out of pity though because I actually cared.

"Th-that would be nice actually thank you." He replied letting out a sob.

So that's what I did, I went over. Once I had arrived at his door I saw him peek out through the window. Immediately he rushed over to open the front door and instantly pulled me into a hug and practically sobbed onto my shoulder dampening my black hoodie.

But who am I to complain.

Once his sobs had quieted down I suggested that we go inside to which he agreed.

"So what usually cheers you up?" I asked, practically whispered actually as it felt like if I were to speak any louder he's break down again.

"I don't know... honestly I don't even know why I'm so devastated." He said sighing queitly.

"What do you mean?" I questioned not really understanding what he meant.

"Look, promise me you wont tell anyone." He whispered leaning, as if he was about to tell me something so important. So I gave him a look of reassurance and he went on to say, "I think I like someone- it's a guy... a really cute guy." He smiled lightly at the end of his sentence.

"Really? If you don't mind me asking who is it?" I asked, half hoping it was me.

"James Blossom." 

That's all it took to shatter my heart into a million pieces, but you see I care too much about Dan so why would I ruin my friendship with him by telling him I like him or act passive aggressive, it's honestly not worth it.

"Are you not happy for me?" He asked as his face dropped.

"No no why would you say that of course I do, I just- that's really adorable." I said, feeling a slight sting in my heart wishing this would all end. By this I mean this... nightmare.

"Oh thanks." He replied as his cheeks turned a bit red as his ears did too.

"Um so James is throwing a party and I was wondering if you'd like to go with me, I don't like going to parties alone so having some company would be nice."

"Yeah sure, who doesn't like to party." I smirked.
