Dare 2

"He what?!" Luna exclaimed. I sat there expressionless. Blank. I couldn't think straight...or in general.

I licked my lips and inhaled. "H-he broke up with me." My voice cracked as I played with the end of my sleeves. Luna hit the dashboard in frustration. "What the fuck! Are you serious?!" She was fumming. But the thing is, is that shouldn't that be me?

"Yeah." I quietly said and ran my sleeve under my eye to collect the newly forming tears. "What are we going to do?" Luna asked as if it happened to the both of us. "My head hurts...so I'm going home. I'll take you home." I said sparring her a glance. "Yeah...alright." She quietly stated.

I drove her home, and left for my house. I pulled up my driveway and sat in my car with my head on my steering wheel. Tears filled my eyes and I let it all out.

"What did I do to deserve this?!" I cried out sobbing.

"You do realize how insane you look, right?" Someone said knocking on my window. It was James. I rolled down my window.

"J-j-james," I wailed out, and he looked shocked. "Mal, what's wrong?" He asked with a sad look planted on his face. "Mark broke up with me."I sobbed. His eyebrows furrowed and he squinted at me. "He what? Why?" He asked before jogging to the passenger side and sitting in the car with me.

"He said Sunny told him I was cheating, and what we had is over. But I never did that! Sunny told him I was texting some guy named Jake...who the fuck is that?!" I started to become angry with the subject now. How could she?

"They had a history together...not to add to the drama, but they did. Maybe, she likes him. Trying to make you look bad." James stated trying to make sense of this. He definitely had a valid point. She could like him. "They dated?!" I asked in a rush. He chuckled a bit at me. "I wouldn't go that far with labels...just two people who needed someone there." James picked at his black jeans.

"Like FWB?" I asked without saying the word. It just me to even say it like this. "FWB? Oh...friends with benefits. Yeah, like that." He nodded giving me a sorrowful glance.

"Do you possibly want to do something to distract yourself?" He asked trying his best to help me. "Sure." I smiled lightly at him. "Let me drive, yeah?" He walked over to my side and lead me to the passenger side. "Thank you, James." I thanked him. He was always there for me, and luckily he was my neighbor. Well, a couple of houses down...maybe five.

"No problem, it's the least I can do." He smiled and backed out of my driveway. "Where are we going to go?" I asked sniffing. "The moon." He said seriously, but concentrated on the road. Twenty-five minutes passed and here we are...legit at the moon.

It was a dinky arcade, and a café. "I thought you were joking when you said the moon." I chuckled. "I don't do jokes," I chuckled. "I do games, though. And I do kick ass when I do." He smirked. I laughed at him being stupid, but when I'm down its usually Mark who cheers me up.

"Are you testing me, James?" I asked waving my eyebrows. "Yes, exactly." He said and pulled my petite body in the neon building. I really am enjoying myself, but I can't just let go of the fight and accusation that I cheated. Which i did not!

I was always worried about him, and his terrible past. But I wasn't worried about myself. I mean, why would I of? I never had anything wrong or to hide. I guess the demons attacked from within the dark, and that demon is named, Sunny.

Not so Sunny, huh? It hurts a lot to know you can't trust your own friends. I trust Luna, and James though. They'll always be there, even during my dark moments.

"Keep up slow poke!" James made baskets consistently. We were playing basketball, and I was having a blast. One after another, he was making them. In the end he won, Damn him.

We sat down in the café part and settled down for a few. "How are you?" He asked and rubbed my bicep. "Holdin' in there. James?" I looked up at him. He tilted his head and smiled. "Yes?" He asked. "Do you like Luna?" I popped the question.

If my love life isn't perfect, that doesn't mean my friends shouldn't. "I ah..." He was struggling to say his answer. "Spit it out!" I exclaimed impatient. "Yes."

If your life isn't what you would like it to be, then make it what you want it to be.

I always was a fool for sappy, happy endings. But it's not enjoyable when your life isn't picture perfect Twenty-four seven. I can't even keep the guy I like around. I read these books and I'm given false hope on what true love is or even a simple relationship.

Life isn't so simple. It throws curve balls ever so often, and it's destructive. It's not clay that you can modify to what you want it to be, and changing it isn't easy either. If it was, everyone's problems would be solved, and the world would be cruel-free.

My heart hearts, and my eyes are irritated. But that isn't the end for me. I will always go for the quote if you want something, then go get it. But it's not as easy as it seems. Especially, when that thing is a boy with his own needs. I maybe over thinking a lot of things, but can you blame me?

The dare boy, I fell for has left me. I can't do much to stop him, and him from thinking that I cheated. It sucks that I'm limited from doing some rash actions, but I'll live. I'll feel like crap for awhile, but I can't do much until I feel better. Possibly, even get over him.
