Wives and Boyfriends || ForthBeam

Chapter 15

BEAM POV

    “She acts like she is the queen of the world. I just don’t get it. What did Forth even see in her? She’s like the worst girl in the world. She has an annoying voice. She talks about herself too much. She is greedy. And she practically stinks of money. It’s ridiculous.” I was laying back on my bed looking up at the ceiling. Beer was sitting at my desk beside the bed and I was ranting about Anna, again.

    “Beam,” Beer said causing me to sit up and look at her. “I think maybe you’re jealous.” She said nodding her head and raising her eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes.

    “I’m not jealous. I just don’t like her. I don’t like the way she acts. That’s all.” I said. Beer gave me a knowing look.

    “You don’t like the way she acts, or you don’t like the way she touches Forth?” She asks. I roll my eyes again.

    “Both! She freaking kissed him like it was nothing. She touched his leg. She touched his chest. His arm. And god knows what else.” I said. Beer stood up and patted me on the shoulder.

    “Maybe you should talk to him about it.” She said before leaving. I growl and throw myself back on the bed.

    I hated to admit it but she was right. If I just talked to him we could work this all out.

    I sat up and made my way downstairs, out the door, and to Forth’s. I figured I should maybe call him so he knows that I’m coming over.

    “Beam.” He said when he answered.

    “Hey, are you busy?” I asked. He is silent for a few minutes.

    “I’m about to go to bed. It’s not really a good time.” He said.

    “Oh. Okay.” I said. We said our goodbyes and hung up. He can stay awake for me for a little bit. I need to talk to him. He’ll be fine.

    When I arrived at Forth’s his mom let me in. She told me to right on up. I wish I didn’t.

    When I opened the door. Forth was sitting on the bed with Anna. She was rubbing his naked chest. Forth jumped when I opened the door.

    “Beam.” He said standing up and looking at me. I was frozen in place.

    “I-I just came to talk to you about something. I-it can wait. I can see you’re busy.” I said. The feeling in my body came back and walked out of the room quickly and closed the door. I rushed downstairs and out the door. I heard Forth call my name but I couldn’t turn back. I got in the car and drove out of the driveway as quickly as I could.

    Once I was on the road again I took a deep breath trying to calm myself. Why was she there? Why was she touching him? Why couldn’t I just listen when Forth said that he was going to sleep and that it wasn’t a good time? I brought this upon myself and I’m so stupid. I look down at my watch. And it’s fucking 1 AM!

    I take a left at the next street and head to the park. I didn’t want to go home yet. Forth would probably try to go there first. I needed to be alone. I parked my car and got out to go to the swing.

    I was there for I don’t even know how long before Beer called me telling me that mom and dad were worried and to come home. I didn’t want to incase Forth was still there, but I did anyway.

    “Beam, where have you been?” Mom asked once I was in the door. “Forth came over saying that you left his house upset and then you didn’t come home. I was worried.” She said pulling me into a tight hug. She sighed deeply in my ear.

    “I’m okay, mom.” I said with a shaky voice. I couldn’t even say I’m okay without showing that I’m not. I didn’t even realize that I was crying until mom pulled away and wipped my tears.

    “What happened?” She asked. I felt more tears fall. Why did I have to cry? Why?

    “This always happens to me. I always put my hope in someone that I like, and then I get my heart stepped on like a freaking bug. I just wish that once I would be able to find someone who I didn’t have to fight for or fight against.” The tears were flowing like crazy. I couldn’t stop them if I wanted. Not that I wanted to.

    Mom and I talked for a little while longer before she told me to go to bed. She told me not to beat myself up over something that wasn’t worth it. “If it’s meant to be it’ll work out.” She said. She is wise.

    I made my way up to my bedroom. I closed and locked the door before pulling my phone out. I pulled up Forth and I’s messages and began typing.

    BEAM: I don’t think we should see each other anymore. I don’t want to. It’s clear that you like Anna. I don’t know what is going on with you two, but I want no part of it. Please delete my number and don’t try to come over. I won’t talk to you.
