♦️♦️♥️April♥️♦️♦️


I remain motionless as I take in whatever Jayson is doing. Questions swirm around in my head like angry honeybees, I try to make sense of what is going on but fail. What is he doing? Why is he doing it? Why the hell my best friend who has a gorgeous girlfriend is kissing me?!

"Jayson!" I come to my senses stopping my train of thoughts and push him away. "What the hell are you doing?"

He keeps looking down unable to make an eye contact with me. Why everything and everyone around has to wreck things up like this? "Jayson."

"I know you need explaination."  He says still looking down.

"I.. I've been love with you April since...since a long time." He slowly mumbles.

"What are you saying Jayson? You have a girlfriend!" I try not to scream at him because it's very quiet around here right now and everyone in this neighborhood may hear every freaking thing.

"Don't jump to conclusions listen to me first please Ap!" He pleads taking my hands in his. "Let's go somewhere else I'll tell you everything. Alright?"  I nod in reply.

We quietly head towards a cafe where we go often. After settling down in our seats we order and wait. I feel emotions mixing in my heart. Awkwardness, anger, confusion. His statement is making me feel like everything is going to change and it's never going to be how it used to be.

I stare blankly at Jayson who fidgeting with his fingers. Jayson loves me. I repeat it in my head. My best friend loves me? I can't imagine it heck my brain can't even register it properly. I mean Leah and Jayson. They are perfect. I can't imagine any of them with someone else.

"Tell me this is some kind of joke Jayson."

Jayson looks up a bit disappointed. "You don't believe me?"

"I believe you but I don't understand. Why Jayson? What about Leah?" I notice my voice raising and other people giving us weird looks. I breath in to calm myself.

"I'm not planning on betraying her or leaving her okay? I care about her, she's one of my best friends and I love her...."

"Then why the hell did you kiss me? Jayson you jerk!" I hit his shoulder hoping it will actually hurt him.

"April..Look I know I sound like a jerk but I didn't have any other options. She loved me too much and you didn't even look at me. First it was Logan and now Christian. I know you will not look at me that way and it hurts damn it!" Jayson slams the table making the coffee cup shake a bit.

Why does this sound like it's all my fault?

"But Jayson you guys are so much in love I can see it your eyes! You guys are that typical sappy couple we see in movies! Was all of it an act?" I say, panick increasing in my voice.

"It was not an act. I love Leah alright. I care about her more than anything. But..but I won't be able to love her like I love you. I was not planning on telling you this. Not at all. But this divorce happened and I had to tell you my feelings before I leave that's all there is to it."

I don't know how to respond to that so we end up sipping on our coffee in silent. Jayson, my stupid best friend loves me and it's hard to digest because he is right I never thought about him that way and never will.

"Hey." Christian greets me at the door.

"Hey." I stretch my lips trying to form a smile.

He notices the lack of emotions in my voice but doesn't comment on it and I'm thankful he doesn't. My mind is dealing with something I never expected I would have to deal with. Obviously it can't take anymore.

I go straight to the room which has been  mine since I started living here and throw myself on the bed. I feel frustrated and angry for some reason. May be it's because of what Jayson said or may be it's because I know our friendship is wrecked now I don't know the exact reason. There are different kinds of thoughts popping in my head from no where and God they have no end.

I groan pressing my face deeper into the cusion. I don't care about anything I just want to sleep but my mind isn't helping me. It continues to play the part where Jayson said he loves me over and over again like a broken CD.

My mind is a broken CD player.

"Hazel are you okay?" I tense a little hearing his voice all of a sudden. I slowly turn my head around to see Christian leaning on the door with his head slightly tilted to one side.

"I'm good. Don't worry." I mumble.

"Alright. I know something is wrong and you are far away from being good but if you don't want to talk about it I won't pry." He completes and leaves the room.

"Christian." I mumble to myself. No matter what the circumstances are he always manages to cheer me up these days. Even though I haven't talked to him about what happened I feel relaxed. Just being with someone who cares about you makes all the difference. I don't even realise when I fall asleep.

Something tickles around my cheeks and neck which makes me giggle. "Stop!" I say laughing and pushing away that soft thing but it keeps coming back. "Jayson stop it!" I open my eyes and kick Christian assuming it's Jayson.

"Damn!" Christian curses out loud, his body falls down and guilt surrounds my mind. "I'm sorry Chris I thought it was Jayson he generally..."

Jayson.

I push his thoughts from my mind because they're really painful right now and focus on Christian.

"What's the time?" I say.

"It's about dinner time now. That's why I came to wake you up." Christian grumpily says getting back on his feet. "Come down now I've ordered some food."

Oh right this guy here cannot cook. I let out a small giggle and follow him downstairs.

"What were you using to tickle me just now?" I ask as I take a huge bite of my cheese burger.

"My keychain." He states while his eyes are stuck on his phone for a while now. That's when I remember his keychain was a bunch of feathers. He used that to wake me up.

"Christian you're not eating." I pause and keep my half eaten burger down. He doesn't reply acting as if he didn't hear me. "Christian." I repeat but get no response.

What is he looking at in his phone anyway?

Curiosity gets the best of me and I bend towards him sneakily looking at his phone. Although I know it's not good to peek into other person's phone but right now if I don't I'll keep guessing it and go mad.

I see a text which is from Christopher.

I freeze for a moment remembering the last time when he was mentioned and how Christian's face had paled.

I squint my eyes to look at the message.

It says "I'm coming over lil bro."
