Chapter 41 : Friends

I couldn't stop thinking about us. Our goals, our dreams, which direction this relationship was headed for...

Everything seemed like one huge blur.

Mayor Rodfon was not thinking of resting until he got me behind bars, Caivanial and his posy of extremist were bundling up for the heavy weekend, my parents were already up in the clouds, and I was still in denial of everything.

It was already the 28th of October, which meant everything could go completely right or completely wrong in the next four days.

Caivanial had already brought me to major fashion designer outlets like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Versace to pick out dresses for the Halloween event.

The shopping trips were nice but he was spending way too much money on me. The clothes not only costed an arm and a leg but with the shoes and accessories, I could've easily bought a new Ferrari.

When we come back home after the shopping spree, he decides to surprise me with someone; someone that I was missing and needed to see soon. He keeps it a surprise though and when I open the door, my jaw drops.

"Maverick!" I scream and drop the shopping bags down to run to him and give him a hug. He responds to it well and hugs me with a lift. "What're you doing here?" I ask him.

"You're boyfriend invited me." he says with a smile but his eyes keep focusing on me. "You look good." he tells me and I roll my eyes.

"I'm a mess. You look better than I do." I tell him. His appearance has changed; he looks more buff and masculine with a beard growing and his hair gelled back.

"Did the both of you forget about me?" another voice says behind and I'm equally as shocked as Maverick is. "Abby!" I shout again and run up to her.

"Caivanial called and said you were having a little reunion."

"Caivanial's been full of surprises lately..." I tell her before I move back to him, "...a lot of surprises..." I tip-toe to give him a kiss with a whisper of gratitude in his ear.

He returns the favour and says, "Have fun." before he leaves out through the door.

"So I guess it's just the Three Musketeers again." I say with enthusiasm but I can already see the separation between them. Abby stays in one corner while Maverick sits on the sofa with his head turned away. "Come on guys. We're all supposed to be best friends."

"It's hard Lex. You don't know what it's like to be in love with a guy you dated for so long and then finally find him in the arms of someone else, who's a male..." Abby starts.

It has already been one and a half months but they still haven't resolved their break up issue. "I already told you that I was sorry...I didn't want you to find out like that." Maverick jumps in. "No. You don't know the worst part Maverick..."

"...You kept this a secret for so long. You made me go on crazy adventures with you and right now, all of those happy moments just feel like utter bullshit to me. Did you ever love me?" she asks.

I can see the tears forming at the brim of her eyelids, just waiting to explode.

"It was hard for me. It's always hard being the only one who has a problem with their sexuality. I love you Abby. I still do, but I just don't feel the same way I do when I'm with him." "Who? Who is this guy that you think you're in love with?!"

"Someone from college. His name's Benjamin and he's really nice. You'll definitely like him." "I'm sure we will Maverick." I try to say with a smile as I rub his back.

"Abby. I know I screwed up big time, but we can still hang out and chill."

"Yeah right Harvard boy."
