Maddy's POV- June 2017

"Hey Maddy"

"Can you talk?" I asked.

There was a light pause.

"Are you okay?"

I looked at my phone and took a deep breath as I ended the call to answer the FaceTime call. My best friend, Alexandria appeared on the screen of my phone. 

"You look nice"

I tried to smile at her, but I couldn't. She noticed, and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Just spill it, she's your best friend...it did have to do with her brother though...

"I can't do this" I blurted out.

The waterworks started earning a sigh from her.

"What did Auston do?"

"I don't have feelings for him" I said.

She snorted.

"About time you figured that out"

Wait what..

"What?" I asked.

She continued,

"I figured Auston would screw this up all on his own"

The thing is that I don't think I ever had feelings for Auston. Yes, he was an attractive guy but I was not attracted to him. He had a lot of growing up to do, and even though he claimed he was...he wasn't ready for a relationship. 

"Start from the beginning"

Here it goes, I was going to be honest with her.

"Your brother was a total dick to me that week I stayed with him in December" I admitted.

I kept that to myself because I didn't want Alex to snap at Auston. Now that I think of it, I should have told her. 

"What do you mean?"

"Two of his friends with benefits showed up to his place" I began saying.

"Which of the four?"

So she knew...wait...four?!?! Gross!

"Desi and Leslie" I answered.

She snorted.

"Those two are the worst"

Shaking her head she signaled with her hand.

"You've met them?" I asked.

"Yeah, It's why we stay at a hotel. Mom knows it happens, but she likes to pretend it doesn't happen"

"But four?" I wondered.

"He's clean, mom made him get tested"

I scrunched up my nose and she laughed.

"Continue your story"

"We went clubbing the night before I flew back to Florida" I began.

He got jealous because I was dancing with his teammates. If he had been the bigger person, he would have had asked me to dance. Instead he pouted and glared at his teammates when they asked me to dance and I said yes.

"And he left with a girl" I told her.

She gasped.

"He left you there?"

"Steph, Mitch Marner's girlfriend drove Morgan and I back" I stated.

It was quite humiliating.
