Alice's POv:

It's been three days.

Three days of hell.

Every time they see each other it's like their tounges have a magnetic attraction to each other's throats. Not to mention the torment my heart is going through.

Their relationship is a constant reminder that the boy I thought I loved never cared for me in that way. I'm not jealous or angry, it's just I wish, that I could be in Karina's position.

Maybe it's better this way.

I mentally comfort myself as he hugs her waist and makes her smile. The bell rings and I try to get out of this emotional roller coaster they call "school".  Matt was absent today and I was the third wheel at lunch, P.E. and most of my other periods. I was forced to sit with them. I mean they are my only friends, so I thought I could maybe handle it. But no. I am so creeped out by all this. A few weeks ago it was just us, the three amigos, and now its the couple and I. Ugh whatever.

I walked home. I decided to call Matt because we haven't talked all day. I was glad to have someone who thought their relationship was as disgusting as I did.

"Hey...-"

"My God you wouldn't believe-"

"It's Matt. Please leave a message after-"

Voicemail.

I hung up. I went into my room.

I just needed to relax. I let warm water run in the tub. I brushed my red hair and put it up in a messy bun. I placed some of my lavender scented bubbles in. I went into my kitchen and grabbed my vodka and strawberries. I also brought my cigarettes. I played some of my favorite oldies music that I like to relax to. Artists varied from Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Elvis etc. I stripped from my shirt and jeans. I stepped in and laid down.

My plate of strawberries on my right, my glass of vodka in my hand, and a cigarette in my mouth. Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra played as I closed my eyes. I couldn't be any happier.

Matt's POV:

I was seeing my parents today. for the first time in two weeks. They are in New York in our other home. I was on the plane when Alice called. I sent her call to voicemail. I didn't want to tell her I'd be gone until Sunday. I figured she would be mad that I was leaving her. She was afraid of being the third wheel. That's one of the one million reasons she hates Joseph and Karina's relationship.

I was a little sad for Alice. She really liked Joe.

QOTD: What's your favorite quote?

I love Maya Angelou (RIP) so here are my favorite quotes from her.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

These quotes inspire me and I hope they inspire you too. -Yessica
