Best Friends With Benefits

Untitled Part 2

*flashback*

Jazmyne's POV:

"She can't do anything right" I hear one little girl say behind me. "Her Dad killed himself after she was born." The second girl exclaimed. My heart shattered when I heard the second girl say that because she was supposed to be my best friend. Who knew 12-year-olds could be so mean? I was 12 and yet so hurt and vulnerable. "Leave her alone" I hear a boy's voice stand up to the girls. The boy turns to me and says, " I will protect you forever and always I promise. I just moved here my name is Marcus. Hey!hey, hey! Angels don't cry he expressed in a soothing voice. At this point, I didn't feel the hot salty liquid pouring from my eyes. He embraced me in a hug as I cried into his shirt.
*End of flashback*
Ever since then, Marcus and I have been best friends. Now I am 18 and in 12th grade, finally. Speaking of the devil he walks through my front door seconds later.
"JAZMYNE!"
"MARCUS!"
We ran up to each other as he embraces me and a strong comforting hug. I took his hand and guided him upstairs to my room, as I plopped down on my bed he was locking the door and taking off his shoes. He walked over to me and sat next to me and said "party, my house tonight at 8." I knew that there was no way of getting out of this party, so I just nodded reluctantly. We watch movies all day until I kicked him out at 6 so that I could get ready. I jumped in the shower and hopped out dried off and got dressed in one of Marcus' hoodies and some shorts.

My makeup;

(NOT WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE!!!)

I walked downstairs and took in what Marcus was wearing... God damn, he was ho- Wait! What am I thinking he is just my best friend.

He was looking down at his phone like he was told he could never lookup. "Hey." I heard a deep voice say, it startled me I thought he didn't even notice I was down here. He must've heard me, I guess. "Do you mind if I crash here tonight Mom and Dad are out of town and so are yours so I figured sleepover?" He continued. "Ummm... Sure I might bring Sammie over tonight though and she might invite James." I said all four of us are best friends since 7th grade. "Sounds good do you wanna go get a bite or something?" He said standing up grabbing his keys. His phone started to ring he looked at it and then looked back at me with guilty eyes. "I'm sorry Amy's mom and dad are getting a divorce, she needs me right now ill talk to you later?" "Yeah okay, I was just gonna watch some TV anyway."  For some reason him ditching me hurt more than usual, it made me feel lonely. My pitbull Gotti started walking over to me with his food bowl in his mouth.

(This is My real dog he recently passed away along with my cat that will be mentioned later on in the story)

I sighed and grabbed his bowl and filled it up and set it down in the kitchen next to the counter. I saw that his water bowl was empty too so I bent down to pick it up when I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around quickly and saw Marcus standing there blushing he said he had forgot his wallet but was acting sort of strange. I handed him his wallet, that he had left on the couch. He then walked out, I hope he's not that awkward during the sleepover with Sammie and James, it would be weird he's never acted like this.
