Hooked-why don't we

24

"Alright, why did your roommate kick you out?" I ask and she sighs.

"Okay, so you remember that I played that prank on him a while ago?" She asks and I nod, "so I did another revenge prank on him, and I may have taken it a bit far..."

"Oh god, what did you do?" I ask and she smiles, just thinking about it. Oh god.

"So I was at the shop and I saw a discount on those foam ball things, so I bought a load of them and filled his car with them. I then painted on the back of his car, call me, I put his number on there and a winking face." When she has finished I immediately laugh and she does too.

"So what did he do to you?" I ask.

"He did two things, one he poured flower over my head and two he ate my last chocolate brownie." She says and I start laughing again.

"You did that to his car all because he poured flower on you and he ate your last brownie?" I ask and she nods.

"Yes! It is extremely rude of him to do that to me!" She says.

"Okay, I might regret this later, but you can move in with me, as long as you don't pull any pranks on me!" I say and she gasps with a smile.

"Wait really?" She asks and I nod.

"Of course, if you want we can go back to yours now to get your things" I say and she nods before hugging me.

"Thank you so much!" She says and I smile.

"Let's go then!" I say and we both get up and start to walk to the car.

"Lexi?" I hear someone ask from behind us. I turn around to see one person that I really didn't expect to see.

"Jake?" I ask, confused. Jake is my ex-boyfriend, the reason that I didn't expect to see him isn't because he moved to Australia, a year and a half ago.

"Can we talk?" He asks after a minute of us just staring at each other.

"I-um yeah, sure." I say and I turn to Dani, "can I meet you in the car?" I ask and she nods. I pass her the keys and she walks to the car.

"I have missed you" Jake says.

"What are you doing here?" I ask and he sighs.

"I came back to see my family but I have been thinking about moving back over here for good." He says. "Listen, I know that we haven't even talked in ages but I am still not over you. I need to ask you, are you over me?"

Are you joking? "Jake, I am over being sad all the time, I am over sitting infront of my phone. I am over waiting for you to call or at least text me because I wanted to text you, to remind that I was still here but then I realised something. I realised that you knew I was still there, you just didn't care. So to answer your question yes. Yes I am over you. You made the decision to leave, you made the decision to end it. And now I am making the decision to move on from you. It has been a year and a half Jake. Of course I am and have moved on." I say and he sighs. "I need to go" I say, I don't even want to know what he is going to say, because I know that whatever it is, it will just be an excuse and a reason that he will try to get back together with me. And I just can't do that. I turn around and start walking away.

"I still love you" He says and I stop walking for a second.

"I am sorry but I can't" I say, before walking away.
