I laid in bed, starring out my huge window. It was another sleepless night, and I kind of enjoyed it. It was quiet and the view was amazing.
I bought this penthouse apartment thing a few months ago, since my college that I wanted to go was out here. I loved it mainly because it wasn't too big or too small.
The silence was interrupted by the sound of keys jangling and then the squeak of the door as it opened. I didn't bother looking, knowing it was Jaeden.
Jaeden, my...ex best friend? Well, he said we couldn't be friends anymore because of his jealous girlfriend. I understand where she was coming from, but he was all I had. I've been doing okay in the 2 months I haven't been friends with him.
He has always had the key to my apartment, saying that if there is ever an emergency, he needs to be able to get to me as quick as possible. I thought he'd throw out the key after Lana's pleads for attention.
I heard shuffling and then a sigh. Next was the sound of keys being thrown on the table, then more shuffling.
"H-hey." I heard.
I didn't reply just snuggled deeper into the blankets.
"I know you're awake. You always stay up late on Wednesday's. They are the days that give you trouble when you try to sleep." He said.
"Be careful, your girl might find out you're here." I said.
"Don't be like that." He said.
I sat up and looked over at him. His features were barely lit by the lights coming from outside.
"No....don't just leave me and think you can come back as if nothing ever happened. I don't want trouble, and knowing your bitchy girlfriend, there is bound to be drama." I sighed.
"I broke up with her." He said.
I shook my head and chuckled, "Congratulations, Jae. I ran out of fucks to give, but I might have some stickers I can give you."
"Will you stop?! I'm sorry ok! I'm sorry for being such a damn idiot and pushing away my best friend." He yelled.
I stood up and slowly walked over to him, his eyes following my every move.
Once I was standing right in front of him, I waited a few seconds and then slapped him.
He grunted and grabbed his cheek, looking up at me with shock. I had tears in my eyes and they were blurring up my vision.
"You knew how much I need you." I said. My voice cracking going from a whisper to regular volume.
"You knew that I put my life in your hands, and you throw it away for some fucking hooker you met at a bar. You acted like she was the only girl left on the damn planet! You had me looking weak, making me depend on you for everything! You pushed me away with no problem, as if I was nothing!" Tears started flowing down.
He looked at me with a guilty expression, still holding his cheek.
"I stuck by you through everything, that time all your friends ditched you for the shit your last girlfriend did. When your parents left and I got fired from my job just so I could comfort you and stay with you through the night! You took everything from me, using me like it didn't faze me. I fucking hate you, Jaeden Lieberher. Never mind, I fucking despise you." I said pushing him.
"Will you please just...just let me fix this?" He asked. The hurt in his voice was clear, but I didn't care. I was hurting way more.
"How? How the fuck can you fix this? You can't..." I said sniffling.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"Grab that mug right there." I said.
He looked at me confused, "What?"
"Grab the mug." I repeated.
He starred at me and grabbed the mug.
"Drop it." I said.
He dropped it and it shattered into pieces. He looked up at me, waiting for what I had to say next.
"Now, say sorry." I said wiping some tears away.
He looked down at the mug, "S-sorry."
"What did your sorry do?" I asked.
"Nothing...."His voice came out as a whisper as he slowly looked up at me.
"Exactly...." I said walking back over to my bed.
"You can sleep on the couch in the living room if you'd like." I said getting back in bed and turning to look out the window again. The sun was coming up, filling me with a deep down happiness.
"O..ok. Good night, y/n." He said and I heard shuffling.
I closed my eyes and a single tear fell, hitting the blankets that were placed under my head.
I wiped it away and let out a shaky breath, feeling sleep take over me.
