One Night Stands || ForthBeam

||NINETEEN||

BEAM POV

Beam: Hey

Beam: Do you want to go get Sushi after school?

Beam: Did you eat lunch already?

Beam: Are we still on for tonight?

Beam: Are you even reading these?

    I sighed and threw my phone on the bed.

    I have been messaging Forth all day and he hasn't messaged back yet.

    Is he still with Chai? Is that why he isn't messaging me back?

    I growled and threw my pillow on the floor.

    Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn’t I just like someone who wasn’t a player? Someone who doesn't  have sex with everyone. Why did I have to like anyone at all? Why did it have to be Forth?

    I picked my phone up and tired calling him. Someone answered but it wasn’t Forth.

    “Hello?” A girl's voice came from the other end.

    So he was back to girls now?

    “Is Forth there?” I asked. The girl sucked in a breath.

    “He’s a little busy right now. Can I take a message?” She asked. I nodded to myself.

    Why did it feel like I was gonna cry.

    “Yeah. Tell him to delete my number and that I don’t want to talk to or see him again.” I said before hanging up. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

    We are supposed to watch a movie tonight. He is supposed to come over. Why does he have to ditch me to be with some random girl?

    Why can’t he at least message me? Why can’t he pick up his own phone? Why am I getting so worked up over it?

    Who am I becoming?

    Last month I wouldn't even look at a guy, and now here I am crying over one like a broken hearted girl.

    How and why did Forth affect me so much? It was never supposed to be like this.

    Stupid one night stands.

    I grabbed my pillow from the floor and laid down in bed. I covered myself up with all my covers. I don't want to come out. I never wanted to face Forth again.

    After about an hour of laying in my depression cocoon, someone knocked on my door.

    “Come in!” I yelled. Kit and Pha entered holding some take out. They both looked at me with pity.

    “You look like shit.” Pha said. Okay maybe not that much pity. I laughed and sat up.

    “Thanks” I said. Kit and Pha sat on the end of my bed.

    “Why do you look like shit?” Kit asked. I chuckled bitterly and shook my head.

    "Forth and I had plans for him to come over and to watch a movie. I messaged him all day, and he hasn’t replied to a single text. I even called him but this girl picked up. She said he was busy. I told her to tell him that I never want to see or talk to him again and for him to delete my number. I should have known that he wouldn’t like me no matter how much I tried. Everything good thing must come to some kind of ending. In Forth and I’s case it wasn’t a good one.” I explained. The whole time I was talking I was looking down.

    When I looked back up at Kit and Pha they both had their heads in their hands. “What?” Pha sighed.

    “Beam, Beam, Beam.” He said shaking his head.

    “You are our best friend, but sometimes you can just be so stupid.” Kit said. I laughed.

    “Excuse me?”

    “Forth. Likes. You.” Pha said emphasizing every word. “He told me.” he confessed. I let out a deep breath.

    “What?” I asked again.

    Forth likes me? He told Pha? When?

    “Forth told me he liked you. Well, I really just guessed it. I told him I could help him get you to like him. Kit was in on the plan to. Everything was going well until that stupid kid showed up. Forth wasn’t having a breakfast date with him. Chai called him, and, because you didn’t have breakfast with him, he was gonna eat alone. He only accepted Chai’s invitation because he was alone. He wanted to eat with you. I told him to go talk to you before class, but Ming stopped him and told him he needed help with the S.O.T.U.S ceremony that is this Friday. He hasn’t answered his messages because he’s been busy, and the girl was probably just one of the freshman girls.” Pha explained. After he took a deep breath. I sighed and shook my head.

    My best friends had betrayed me. I didn’t mind though. All that mattered was that Forth liked me.

FORTH POV

    “Hey, Cake, who was that?” I asked setting the last box down on the stairs. She shrugged and handed me my phone.

    “Someone named Beam. He said to delete his number and that he never wanted to see you ever again.” She said before walking away.

    What? Was this because of Chai. Because of what he saw this morning? Did he really care that much? Pha said he liked me but I'm not so sure now.

    I opened my messages and seen I had hundreds of them from Beam. As I was going to message him back my phone died. I groaned and looked around.

    “Does anyone have a charger I can use?!” I asked, yelling to everyone. It was silent for a few minutes before one of the nurse’s raised their hand.

    “I do.” She said grabbing it out of her bag and running over to me.

    “Thank you.” I said sighing. I looked all over for a plug in but found none. “Why doesn’t this place have a plug in?” I asked. No one answered me. I groaned and slid down the wall.

    How am I supposed to message Beam now?
