White Liar

"He's still mad?"

I nod sighing watching him. Jason got mad when Alex and his father showed up he didn't speak to me the whole way here. I forgot that Greg and Alex dads was best friends that's How i met Alex in the first place because of our fathers.

"What's up with this dude? Why is he constantly getting between you and Ja'?" Cardo speaks looking down at me.

I bit my lip. I'm sure Jason ask himself that question everyday, I do the same. "All three of us have history together." I pause crossing my arms. "Bad history."

"You dated him?"

I shake my head. "No. Long story short back in high me and Alex was friends before me and Jason, but Alex and Jason's was best friends too. They did everything together. Alex liked me and I like him too but for some reason we just never dated. Alex was my first everything." I pause looking up at him, he was watching me with his hands stuffed in his pockets. "When Jason came back from Puerto Rico junior year we started dating. That just caused a lot of problems between the three of us so we stayed away from Alex."

"I'm not hearing a part till where Jason acts like the way his acting now." He speaks. I sigh pushing my hair back. "Should I guess?"

"Please don't." I whisper softly. Partially embarrassed.

He sighs. "Emily I like you, so I'm going to tell you the truth. Jason might love you but he is not going to keep putting up with this because I'm sure this little thing of this Alex kid popping up happened more than once. So if you don't want to lose Jason or Adria, stay far away from Alex."

"I know. I can't just tell him to leave Greg invited him not me." I say. I look over watching the bastard play with Justice.

"Okay let me ask you this. Is this boy worth losing your family over?" He says looking straight at me. I want to answer but words don't seem to form for me to speak. "If you can't give a straight answer. That's means you have things to think about." He kisses my forehead. "I'll leave alone. Just listen to your heart."

He walks away. I sigh sitting down on the beach towel. I feel like our relationship will end not because of us but because of my connection and passed relationship with Alex. Jason is mature enough to look passed things but for some reason he won't look passed this. I'm not being  judgmental but Jason got another girl pregnant while we was together and I over looked that, it might have taken me some time but I did because I love him. Deep down I knew we would break up one day because of this, but our love for each other is so strong that we can't over look the terrible things that we done to each other and it slow crumbling our relationship.

We leave in two days to go back home I have to go to LA for 3 Days and Jason's has to be in Atlanta for away game.

"Emily." Sean walks up to me. "We're leaving come on." I stand grabbing my things.

Sean waits patiently behind me. "You okay?"

I sniff. "Yes."

"Umm." He drags out scratching his head nervously. "Jason is going to ride back with Angel. I'll ride you with."

I stop walking looking at him. "He told you that."

He nods his head giving me sad eyes. I continue walking. "Look Em' he just needs time-"

"No we just need time apart. For a while." I say. Walking in front of him. I hear him sigh lowly walking behind me in silence. I throw my things in the back seat of the rental car. Getting in the drivers seat. Sean slides in the passenger seat quietly. "You wanna get some food I don't wanna go back home just yet?"
