More than friends? 〈 Albertsstuff x Jake 〉(discontinued)

1 » Lana

I had just recorded a video and I was in the middle of editing.  I hadn't seen Lana all day, most of my human contact today has been me skyping Jake while I edited.

"Hey Jake, I think I'm finally done editing," I said as I began to review the footage.

"What'd you play again, albitch?" Jake asked me through the call.

"More 'Adopt and Raise a Cute Baby', today I was AAAAAAAAAAAH08," I responded, chuckling at my own stupid screaming.

"Well hurry up and upload it, I want to see it," Jake told me, an impatient tone laced into his voice.  "Uploading takes 20 years though, you should know this," I responded.

"Well yeah, but sometimes it goes really fast... oh hey! I've been meaning to ask you something about Lana," Jake said, the phone call getting a bit laggy.

"What?" I simply replied.  "I haven't heard her in the background of the audio lately, anything wrong with her?" Jake asked me.  I thought about it for a second, I haven't seen her in a few days really.  Or that much...

I zoned out running it over in my mind to see if I remembered her getting sick or something when Jake's voice suddenly broke my thought.  "Duuuuuuude, I asked a question?"

"Well sorry princess, but I'm not sure about Lana actually," I replied, I didn't know what else to say.

'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚'‚

I exited my room and I walked into the kitchen.  I still didn't see Lana anywhere.  I went up to her room and tried to listen into the room.  "Lana?" I asked, trying to see if she may be in there.  I opened the door but then quickly shut it after Lana squealed in the bed with another man.

I didn't know if what I saw was real or not so I stayed a listened for a bit.

"Great, now he knows, Ian!"

"Whatever Lana, you know you don't actually love him! Just break up with him for me!"

"But I wanted his money, you don't have shit!"

"Lana, him or me. Choose."

"...I'd rather have you... but get a job!"

"Then dump Albert and move in with me! I'll get a damn job."

"Whatever, just come get me at 8:00.  He'll figure it out.  Now can we just-"

I quit listening and instead ran to my room, shutting and locking the door.  I sat on my desk chair and thought about what I had just heard.  Lana never loved me? She just wanted my money?  Not to mention, I make a YouTuber's salary, that's not even THAT much.

I felt tears threaten to escape my eyes and I really didn't want to cry over something as simple as my long-time, serious girlfriend who was actually a cheating liar.  Okay, maybe not that simple.

I felt the tears roll down my cheeks anyway so I just let it happen.  The ringtone of a skype call played on my computer.  The contact read Jake.  I hesitated but I clicked accept.  "Hey, I finished watching the video you uploaded.  I can't believe that dude--wait, what's that noise? Dude, are you crying?"

I was trying my best to hide the noise of crying but I guess I didn't well enough.  "N-no..." I stuttered out, probably not my most convincing lie.  "Come on I won't believe that, Albert, what's wrong?"

Should I tell him? "L-Lana... she's leaving me for another guy," I managed to finally say.  "What!? Dude, I would've never expected this!" Jake said through the call after gasping.  He sounded sarcastic.

I didn't say anything back, but more crying sounds came out of me.  "Woah, woah, Albert, calm down.  I get it's hard--I got to go buy a plane ticket," Jake said, rushing the last part.  "What? Jake, no--" I got cut off by him ending the call.  What did he mean he had to go buy a plane ticket?  Right now, while his best friend is dealing with this?

To be continued...
