It's morning now, you wake up and do your usual routine. Although all you can think about is having to go to school and face Adi and Jojo. At least you have Nick and Cenna. When you get to school you immediately spot Nick opening his locker.

Gaby- "hey Nick"

Nick- "hey Gaby" he says as he gives you a hug, knowing you really need one."

Nick- "how are you holding up?"

Gaby- "I'm holding pretty well considering my ex boyfriend made me choose between him and my current boyfriend"

Nick- "you don't have to choose"

Gaby- "I know but I feel really guilty"

*Bell rings*

You walk to your first period and sit in your usual seat. Unfortunately it's next to Adi. You arrive in the class before him but when he comes in you just put your head down and listen to music. 1st period is basically a free class since the teacher is old and he doesn't do much. You start listening to your favorite artist xxxtentacion, your favorite song of his is Orlando. You play that and try to sleep. *is he even here?* you think to yourself. You casually put your head up to check if he is there and low and behold there he is sitting right next to you, except he is with his head down too. You hear him sniffling. *is he sick? Or is he crying?* whatever it's his fault anyways. If he is crying, it wouldn't matter.

*Skip to lunch*

When you arrive at lunch you sit down at the lunch table in between Nick and Cenna. You don't want to sit in a table with Jojo, or Adi but you don't really have a choice. Your talking to Nick as Jojo comes and sits in the table.

Nick- "where's Adi?"

Jojo- "how should I know"

Adi's POV;

Its lunch time but you aren't hungry. You go to bathroom and sit on the floor in a stall. You feel so broken inside. *how could I do this to her. She hates me so much she won't even look at me. I know if I look at her she will be able to see my red eyes from crying and that's embarrassing considering She is the one who should be crying, not me*

Gaby's POV;

Its after school now and you have to do something about this. This can't continue going on. You have to make your decision. You head outside into the front of the school and stand with Nick. You shoot both Adi and Jojo a text saying "meet me outside of school, now." Now all thats left to do is wait.

A few minutes later Jojo comes out and just stands in front of you awkwardly.

Jojo- "okay, so what did you need?"

Gaby- "just wait a second"

After that, Adi shows up and walks toward you only looking down at the floor, and when he stops in front of you he briefly looks at you. You notice his eyes are super red. *maybe he was crying in first period*

Gaby- "okay listen Jojo. You were my first love. I won't deny that. What we shared was a bond that couldn't be broken. Because when we broke up, we still understood each other and cared for each other. But then suddenly you just started getting jealous and I never wanted it to be that way."

Gaby- "And Adi, Jojo may have been my first Love, but you were my true love"

As you say this Adi looks up at you with a tear running down his face. Then a tear runs down yours.

Gaby- "Adi, I am so madly in love with you that whatever you do or say will never affect the way I feel about you. You could rip my heart into a million pieces but I will still come back to you in a heart beat. The fact that Jojo made me choose between you and him and you didn't stop him broke my heart. But I love you too much to let you go. So I've made my choice."

Adi doesn't even say anything. He just pulls you into a hug and twirls you around. It feels so amazing finally being back in his grip. He then kisses you. And it feels like a million fireworks have been set off. The relief starts kicking in but you feel so guilty still. Guilt for Jojo.

*2 days later*

It's been two days since you made your decision. You wanted to clear things up with Jojo, so you met with him at the park.

Gaby- "Hey Jojo"

Jojo- "hi Gaby"

Gaby- "look Jojo, when I broke up with you, it was because I began to feel strong feelings toward another person. I never meant to make you feel bad, that was never my intention. And if I did, I just wanted to apologize. I do love you, as a friend of course. But I really want to be friends again like we used to be. What do you say?"

Jojo- "alright" Jojo says with a big smile.

After this day, everything went perfect. Adi and I continued dating and had a perfect relationship, Jojo and Adi were now friends again. And all of us were just one big happy group of friends and I couldn't ask for a better ending. I guess that I have one thing to say out of this whole experience. If your ever gonna date your ex's best friend, buckle up, because it's complicated.
