*WARNING* Cursing.

Albert's POV:

*Do, do, do, blub blub* 

I heard a muffled noise, interrupting my sleep..a very familiar noise, in fact. 

"JAKE!" I shouted, leaping out of my bed and dashing to the computer.

I answered the Skype call as soon as I got my ass to the computer.

"Hi, Jakey" I chirped.

"Haha. Hey, Alberto" Jake giggled.

"So, wanna play Roblox?" Jake continued

"Sure, Apocalypse Rising?" I replied, beaming.

'Thank god he can't see my face right now, I look like an idiot. Wait..why do I care what he thinks? He's my best friend.' I am immediately snapped out of my thoughts...

"Albert? Albert?!" Jake questions, interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh y-yeah, Let's play." I say, turning bright red from embarrassment.

~Time skip bc I'm disgusting~

"Hey, Albert...?" Jake questions.

"Haha, yeah?" I reply.

"Uhh..we've been playing for like 2 hours, and I have to study for exams.." He continues.

"Oh okay, uh go study then BOY!" I yell, trying to sound less sad that he has to leave me :((

"Aw, you sad cause I'm leavingg?" He mocks, in a childish tone.

"Pfft, n-no way." I stutter, knowing I'm lying.

"Aw, why are you stuttering then?" He says in a sweet tone.

"Haha, you sound so cute right now" I coo, then immediately regretting what I said. 

"Cute, huh?" Jake responds.

"N-nah you ain't c-cute BOY!" I struggle to say, with my whole body heating up.

"Mhm. Whatever you say, Albert." He smirks.

*Call ends*

I whipped out my phone to take a look at my face,

"FUCK!" I shout, noticing how bright RED my fucking face was.

"Albert, you okay?" Lana calls out, sounding a bit concerned.

"Y-yeah" I holler back. (lmao)

'No. I'M AS CONFUSED AS EVER.' I think internally. 

No reply. I quickly splash cold water on my face, hoping to god Lana doesn't walk in to see me like this. 

'What would she think? Whatever.'

After my face went back to its normal complexion, I decided to go find Lana. If I'm being completely honest, we've been drifting a lot lately...I honestly just haven't had the time or energy to be near her. She's a little clingy too, so I'm sure she's pissed at me. 

'Okay, time to face her.'

I walk down the staircase (His computer is upstairs, in the guest bedroom in this) as quietly as I can, in order to not get an immediate reaction. After all, I have no idea what to say to her.

"Albert?" A familiar voice, asks with hope.

'Fuck, Lana heard me before i could even think up what to say.' I say to myself, mentally.

"Y-yeah, It's me" I say, defeated, not prepared for what might follow.

"A-Albert, can we talk for a minute..?" She questions, sounding hurt.

"Can she read minds?" I mumbled quietly so she didn't hear.

"Albert!" She roars, now sounding tempered.

"O-oh sorry, yes." I respond, a little taken back by the anger in her tone.

"Look Albert..We have been so distant lately, we've lost our spark-It's no secrect.." Lana begins to break down.

"Lana.." I know what she's about to say.

"Albert, I think we should break up. This just-It's just..It's n-not working a-anymo-re" She says, barely finishing the sentence, as she was beginning to tear up.

"Lana.." I said again, it's all i could say. I was hurt.

"I'll just leave you be now. Move on, Albert. Find someone better. I'm sorry." She said grabbing her stuff, and quickly running out the door, now balling.

'She must have planned this..' I thought to myself, before falling to my knees sobbing.

At this point I was just sad and needing something to get me through the rest of the night, to make me forget. I went out and got some wine, vodka, and beer.  

~1 hour later~

After about an hour of drinking and blasting music, I was drunk out of my mind. The alcohol kinda just made me feel numb, but at least Lana wasn't on my mind anymore. Well, someone else was, and that person was..Jake.

'Jake makes me happy...I should watch one of his videos'  I thought, with a drunken smile forming on my face.

I clicked on his recent video..' ROBLOX RESTAURANT TROLLING ' (tbh just chose the most recent face-cam i could find)

2 minutes in, and I'm already laughing.. 'God I love him, I'm so glad he's mine-my friend.' I thought, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion at my thoughts.

'Mine? I love him?' What? I thought frustrated.

"Fuck, I need to get myself together." I slurred, sloppily slamming my laptop.

"I-I just need to sleep this off, I'll be fine i-in the m-morning" I reassured myself.

I slowly walked over to the staircase, trying my best to walk steadily. Sadly, that didn't go too well, I ended up stumbling over my feet and air many times. Luckily, I made it up the stairs safe. I wobbled into the first bedroom I saw, which was the guest room. And, practically threw myself onto the bed, instantly passing out, with Jake still on my mind somehow.

Cool, I finished my first chapter :)) Tell me what ya'll think? Hope you enjoyed, Cya.
