Chapter 13

Johns POV -EDITED-
  The next day, Alexander came over like he normally did. Except, he sort of ignored me. He had walked right past me, and straight into Lafayette's room.

  I heard the two of them talking, and I pressed my ear up against the door. I wasn't normally nosy but I wanted to know if Alexander would mention why he'd ignored me.

  I know me and Alexander aren't exactly friends, he's Lafayette's, and although he tells me that we are, we aren't. Not if Lafayette is involved. Because everybody likes Lafayette better, and nobody likes me.

  "You called my brother cutie," Lafayette scoffed.

  "It's not like I meant it," Alexander retorted. "All fun and games."

  "You know, he might not have known it was just fun and games," Lafayette defended me.

  "It's not a big deal if he thought it was or not."

  "It sort of is, but I can't really explain why," Lafayette said.

  "Well I have a girlfriend. Whom I love. Plus, your brother really isn't my type. Small depressing kids like him," Alexander replied.

  "Alexander, that's kind of mean." Kind of mean? I couldn't help stop the tears that fell down my cheeks.

  "He's a child. I can't like him, I like people who are more mature. I mean, at least he's a good kisser, I'll give him that."

  My face turned even more red, and more tears slid down my cheeks. I leaned forward, forgetting the door was open slightly, and tumbled into the room.

  I hid my face in the rough carpet.

  "John?" Alexander spoke up, nervously. "How much did you hear?" He asked.

  I lifted my face from the carpet, and crawled over to Lafayette. Lafayette wrapped his arms around me, and I cried into his shoulder.

  "Enough," I whispered loud enough for Alexander to hear.

  "God, John I didnt... I didn't mean to up-"

  "Get out of my house," Lafayette interrupted him. I saw Alexander open his mouth wide, before quietly leaving.

  "Thanks Lafayette," I whispered. He kissed my forehead.

  "Don't let him get to you, kid."

  "Your lucky. Aaron actually likes you," I squeaked.

  "I'm actually not that lucky. Aaron is more worried about his ego than staying my boyfriend. It kind of sucks, but I'm gonna take what I can get."

  "I love him," I cried out.

  Lafayette's eyes widened a second, before he tightened his grip around me. "It's gonna be okay John. I promise. It will get better," Lafayette told me. I nodded slowly.

  But how was I supposed to believe everything would be okay? After Alexander dissed me, rejected the idea of us being a thing, and insulted me? While he's in love with someone else? Who happens to be a girl might I add.

  I closed my eyes tightly, letting three tears fall from my eyes. I took a deep breath before making a wish I knew was impossible to come true.

  I wish Alexander didn't love Eliza.

  I hadn't wished he liked me, because it wouldn't have been real. I hadn't wished he had never meant what he said, because I'd never know if he actually hadn't meant those words or not. But if he didn't love Eliza, maybe there was a small chance I'd have a better chance.
