Bedding bad √

Zayn-6

        My headphone is very rudely pulled out of my ears and I can think of only one person who would do that.

I stretch my right hand and grab a pillow snuggling into it to get him pissed off.

A bag of cement is thrown on my body and my eyes immediately fly open. Okay, it's just my idiot friend but...

'Get your foolish self off me'. I said pushing me. He rolls and lie beside me.

'Say sorry'. He demanded
'For what exactly?'
'I could think of a few reasons. For killing my cat?'
'That bitch was damn rude'.
'For burning my journal?'
'It was very depressing, not to mention childish'.
'For cutting my cousin's hair in her sleep?'
'You know she deserved it'.
'For stealing my first girlfriend?'
'You could do better'.

'Okay let's settle for this one; for not calling me for the past twelve hours. I thought does scorpion guys had ended you, I was about to start searching every alley for your body but a little birdy told me you were home'.

'Well that bird probably just prevented you from landing yourself in an asylum'.

'Whatever. Why didn't you call me?'
'I was busy'.
'I can see. So busy making love to your bed in the dark. Turn on the light dude'. He said switching my bedside lamp on.

'Why are you here Jake? I thought I made it clear; Sunday nights are for just me, me alone, enjoying my own company?'
'You are not good company for yourself dude. I can't leave you alone with all your bizarre thoughts'.
I groaned.

'In times like this I really do wish you had a girlfriend'.
'Why do I need a girlfriend? I  have you'. He said hugging my back.

'Do you have to be so gay all the time?' I teased.
'There's nothing wrong in being gay'.
'Of course but you aren't gay right? Are you, man?' I asked, arching a brow. He smacked my face with a pillow.

'Fuck you. Come on let's do something'. He said rising and pulling me out of bed.
'What?' I grumbled like a child.
'Let's order pizza and play video games. It's not like there's anything more interesting we could do'.

         I ordered pizza while he set up the game and immediately it arrived we began work. We played for hours, deep into the night and only stopped when our fingers began hurting unbearably. We just lay there on the floor.

'Zayn?' Jake called lightly.
'Hm?'
'Have you ever wanted something you knew you could never have?'
'Yeah'. I whispered. I wanted her back every fucking day.

'What did you do?'
'I chased it, hard, then I realized it was a vain effort so I let it go'.
'Just like that?'
'It was not a fight for me to win'.
'You didn't feel sad?'
'I did, still do'.
'Sorry buddy'. He said, turning to face me with a mocking smile.
'Asshole'. I said and we laughed a little before falling silent again.

'Jake?' I called.
'Yeah?'
'What went down with you and Katie?' He sighed deeply at that.
'Nothing special'.
'I want the truth Jake'.
'She loved me so much and I betrayed her'.
'How?'
'I cheated on her'. I nodded and turned to face him.
'Asshole'. I said and we laughed lightly but sobered up immediately.

'I joined the gang'. I knew he was looking for a way to bring it up.
'You did'. He said quietly, he didn't sound surprised.
'Yeah, I did'.
'I guess it was the only option. Be careful eh?' I nodded.

'Thanks man'.
'Brooo. This is us'. He said clasping our hands tight which made me smile. 'I'm going to bed, vamp'. He rose and dumped himself on my bed.
'Goodnight'.

        My eyes are shut tight, I'm struggling to open them because I know what is coming next, what always appears every time I close my eyes for the past three years.
