we had definitely regretted it.
but it was not only because of her actual actions of watching thebreakfast club seven times a day but because she had cried every damn time the movie had ended. yet it was not just any small shed of tears or the the occasion teary eyes. it was pure sobbing and tissues that surrounded her as mascara ran down her face. the boxes she had moved in still present in the living room as all three of us watch in disbelief.
you see, i had already learned some habits of the girl with brown skin and long dark hair. she had a way of shyness in her movements but within the mahogany of the girl's eyes she was filled with this very unique mindset. either way i had enjoyed the company for all except the crying she had done. "ethan what have you done?" troy questions through gritted teeth. we all had stood in the kitchen with our stare caught on the girl who speaks into the phone with her attention still on the television.
"no mom, i'm not watching the breakfast club." she lies after taking a deep breath when sitting up causing her hair to fall over her eye in which she tucks behind her ear before speaking. "are you guys going to murder me since i've met you on the internet?" she questions now causing ethan to snort softly in response.
"yes we are." he answers causing her put a thumbs up as she lays back down.
"mom they said no. see it's all fine, alright i'll call you later." the girl bids her goodbye before going to back to watching the movie as she mumbles along the lines that every character has said.
"ethan, troy's right. you got us into this mess and you need to figure out this situation. i mean, it's been a week of this and i can't take it anymore." i whisper yell causing my brother to scoff as he crosses his arms and our gaze goes to joey once more. her voice forming the lyrics to the last song playing in the movie as she hits the pillow with aggression when she begins to cry again.
"stupid, stupid, thomas. you broke my heart!" she screams at the end causing my vision to go back to ethan to glare.
"fine let me handle this." he confirms before we all follow him as he takes steps toward the saddened girl as he takes a seat. we linger behind him as we hear the conversation that begins to play out.
"hey grayson."
"it's ethan but whatever you'll get use to it. but you need to stop it. just stop." he points his finger at the girl in response and commands her as if she was a golden retriever and he was the owner. it only causes her jump a little as she wails into more cries causing him to look in horror of joey. "yeah troy why don't you give it a try?" he states when sitting up as my other best friend besides me sighs. he mumbles something inaudible as he goes near joey.
"alright girl let me just get that." he whispers when reaching for the remote as he goes to turn it off causing joey to frown a little harder when reaching for the television. "yeah, hey, how you feeling?" he coos causing her to shake her head as she points to the television once more. "well you know what you look great." troy had lied to the girl for her own good because joey was in the same clothes of yesterday morning and it seemed as if she did not brush her hair for awhile. her sweatpants were stained along with her shirt causing me to have sorrow for her appearance.
