Chapter 12- Roast Poems

"Omg Zoe!" Bree yelled at me while reading my roast poem to Corban. 

"Do you like it?" I asked while laughing.

"Hell yea!" She burst out laughing 

"Should I give it to him?" 

"I can give it to him for you." Bree smiled mischievously.

"Alright." 

"I'll give it to him at school tomorrow." 

"Cool." I looked at her. "I'm hungry."

We went into the kitchen to find food to consume.

"I have macaroni and cheese, salad, pot stickers, and pizza." She said while opening her fridge.

"Pot stickers sound really good right now." I said while nodding.

"Okay!" She opened the freezer and pulled out the pot stickers. "Do you like them crunchy?"

"Sure." 

She opened the bag and put a few in her toaster oven. She also poured out some soy sauce into a little glass container.

"Have any homework?" Bree said while sitting on the counter.

"I only have math homework." I said while sitting next to her. "But it's easy."

"Don't we have the same math teacher?" 

"Yea I think so."

Ding

"Pot Stickers are ready!" She yelled excitedly while jumping off the counter.

"Yay!" I got up as well and stood next to her.

She put the pot stickers on a plate and she put it on the table.

"Wanna work on homework while we eat?" She asked while smiling at me.

"Sure I'll go got our binders." I went to her room and got out our binders from our backpacks. I migrated back into the kitchen and set the binders on the table.

"Okay." She said while pulling out the homework from her binder. "Do you know how to do this because I'm clueless."

"Yea I can help you." I pulled out the homework as well. "Question number 1. So to find the rate, you subtract this number by one because it's bigger than one." I pointed to the equation.

"Okay." She did as I told and then she looked back at me. "Now what?" She took a bite out of a pot sticker.

"To make an equation, you put the initial value, then the factor in parenthesis."

"Zoe." She looked at the plate of pot stickers.

"Yes?"

"I knew how to do the homework... I just like when you teach me. It's kinda romantic."

I chuckled. "Yea, I  guess it is romantic." I leaned over and kissed her. 

....Still no spark.

"Are you okay?" She could notice that I didn't enjoy the kiss.

"Yea." I smiled and kissed her again.

The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Bree said excitedly as she ran to the door. "Hello Mrs. Payton."

My mom was at the door. She had no idea that me and Corban broke up and of course she has no idea that me and Bree are dating. She is kinda homophobic.

"Hey mom!" I said while walking up to the door next to Bree.

"Ready?" She asked me.

"Yup. Let me go get my stuff."  

I gathered all of my things and stuffed them into my backpack. Bree walked into her room and I packed my stuff.

"Love you." She said while kissing me behind the door so my mom couldn't see from the living room.

"Love you too." I smiled at her.

I walked out into the living room where my mom was.

"Bye Bree." She smiled as we walked out the door.

We got into the car and I felt my phone buzz. It was a message from Corban.

Corban: I hate you so much.

Me: Let it go. Yes, what I did was wrong and I apologized for it. Just delete my number. That's what I'm gonna do.

Corban: I really loved you.

Me: I'm done playing nice, leave me the fuck alone. You have done this to other girls so go find another hoe to bang. Good bye, I will be blocking your number so don't even try to text me.

I went to his contact and blocked him. I then deleted his number and our conversation. 

"Hey I haven't heard from Corban in a while." My mom said while focusing on the road. "Is everything okay between you guys."

Great. Just great.

No. "Yea he's just been busy."

When we got to my house, I saw a note on the front door. I quickly rushed out of the car to grab the note.

Dear Zoe,

Why did you hurt my friend? I know he seems like a fuck boy, which he was but when he met you, he changed. He really liked you. That really wasn't cool of you to cheat on him. He has been through a lot that you don't know about. He was in a very dark place before he met you. When he did meet you, he ran up to me with the biggest smile and told me how much he liked you. I hadn't seen him that happy in years. Now that you cheated on him, he is back to that dark place but now, it's even worse. Thanks a lot Zoe for ruining my best friend's life. I hope you feel good about yourself.

Oh no. I really fucked up. I couldn't let Bree give him that poem. I instantly called her.

I tried calling her but it went to voicemail.

"Bree, do not give that poem to Corban. His friend Jonas gave me a letter and it said a few things that I feel very bad about. I am very worried about Corban right now so please don't give him the poem."

I really hope she listens to the voicemail. I didn't know what I was thinking. I really liked Corban but I also liked Bree. Why did I fuck up so much? I feel like a worthless shit. God damn it why did I screw up so fucking badly? I will never forgive myself for this.

I really liked Corban. I write poems about him all the time but I fucked it all up. I hate myself so much. Because of me. He is in a very dark place.

I hope to god that he doesn't hurt himself.
