The Broken Hearted

The Phone Call

Justin slumped down on his bed and picked up his phone. He was determined to get Naomi back no matter what the cost was. If anything had went wrong in the relationship, he assumed he was probably the one to blame and he accepted that. He scrolled through his contacts until he found her name and  stared at the phone long and hard before he pushed call.

 

brrrr....brrrr.....brrr....

"Hello?"

Justin caught his breath, her voice was the only sound he felt made him whole at the moment."

"Justin? Is this you? Im hanging up."

"No Wait! Naomi just listen please!"

"I'm listening, what the fuck do you want?"

"Please babe, just answer me this, what went wrong between us, i'll fix it I swear!"

"You won't understand Justin, you never did and you never will."

"Yes I Will Naomi! Just tell me!"

"It's her Justin! It always has been her!"

"What do you mean? Who is 'her'? "

"I gotta go, Goodbye."

"Wai-" 

beep beep beep beeeeeep

For the first time today, other than being sad, Justin was confused.

"Surely she isn't talking about....."

Then it hit him like a ton of bricks, Naomi was jealous.....of Ari. For whatever reason when they started dating, Naomi always kept a close eye on him and Ari at school. She would always hang out with her clique and him and Ari would always eat lunch together. Naomi couldn't stand Ari. And Justin for the longest time until now, couldn't figure out why. 

' Why would she be jealous? Ari and I are just friends, nothing more.'

Justin quickly pulled out his phone again and created a text message

'Babe, Ari and I are JUST FRIENDS'

He sat down his phone and waited for a good 30 seconds before his pone lit up.

' You're such a liar.' was her response.

'Okay, if she wants me to be with Ari then I will.'

If he had to fake a relationship with his best friend to get his girlfriend back, than thats what he would do.
