Thank you for checking out my story!

**Xori's Birthday.**

It's her birthday. I hate that she is so far away from me. I wish I could spend the day with her. I guess I will have to settle with being with Jessica and calling her later. She loves to sleep in so I will call her later in the day. I'm excited to call her with Jess. It will be awesome to surprise her. They have been so close for so long and according to Jess it has been a while since they have talked.

"Why has it been forever?" I question Jess.

"Well Xori has been so busy that I don't want to bother her," she replies. I guess that is one difference between the two of us. I don't care that she is busy, she will answer. After all, we are meant to be. One day we will get married and she will always be by my side and she will never leave.

"Well, you should figure out times to talk, I know she misses you."

"We should do that. Call her! I need to talk to her." I couldn't agree more I need to hear her voice. I have been craving her voice and I want to see her face. I miss her so much. I am so happy that she is even allowing me in her life right now. We have been through so much bullshit.

I take my phone out to call Xo. It rings a few time and then I hear a male voice answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Can I talk to Xorina?"

"She's busy right now and can't talk,"

"What do you mean she's busy!?" I say in a frustrated tone.

"She will call you back." Before I could say anything he hung up. What the hell?! Who the fuck does he think he is?! I am so confused. What were they doing that she couldn't talk to me? I bet they were making out. How could she do this to me? I am her everything! I text her to FaceTime me instead of calling me so she can see Jess as well.

As soon as I saw that she was calling I got the phone and sat down next to Jess.

"Hey, guys! What are you doing?" She asks. She looks shocked that Jess is next to me but she hides it quickly.

"Well it is your birthday and we wanted to wish you a happy birthday together!" Jess says.

"Awe thank you but why together?" She questions.

"Well I didn't know your address to get you anything so I thought this might be a nice gift," I reply. I hate that she never gave me her address. I had more planned for her like sending her my hoodie for her to wear and some chocolate.

"Oh yeah, that makes sense. Thank you! That's very thoughtful! It's so good to hear from both of you! Especially you Jess. I haven't heard from you in weeks!"

"I know I haven't known when to call because you have class," Jess sighs.

"Well, we can fix this! We can plan days to talk! I miss my best friend, and we have so much to talk about!"

"Let's plan this for sure!"

"Umm guys, I'm still here," I say clearing my throat. I hate that she is completely ignoring me. I'm the one calling her. I'm the one she should be talking to, I'm her one and only.

"We know you're here. We just choose to ignore you," Xo says laughing.

"Awe don't be that way babe. You know you love me," I reply smirking. Trying to hide the fact that I am pissed that she's ignoring me.

"You sound so cocky," she retorts. "I was the one that broke up with you."

"Yeah that's true, but I can see it in your eyes." She still loves me. I can see it.
