Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 38

"After that Luna, Kim and me had our trio hug and I apologized to Kim for my behavior the past week." I tell Zac.

"Okay." He says not sounding happy at all. I'm sure he doesn't like the idea of me getting back with her but she made it clear only to have a friendship, nothing more.

The following day, we stay down in the compound after mass.

"I need to tell you something." Zac says.

"What?" I ask, frowning at him.

"Just don't get upset please."

"What is it?" I look him in the eye, my heart pounding.

"We kissed."

"Who kissed who?" I feel myself breaking.

"I mean, Luna kissed me." He says this and grabs hold of my hand.

"What?  No, bullocks! She would never do such a thing!" I find myself yelling and defending her, flinging his hand away.

"She did."

"When?" I scowl.

"Last summer, when I used to go to St Pat's. She used to hang around with me, tried sticking and one day-"

"I don't believe you." As I say this, something strikes me. Luna liked Zac. But her feelings for you were stronger so she chose to ask you out. Kim had mentioned this to me that Luna liked Zac. Does she still like him or does she only love me now? What if Zac is lying? But Kim wouldn't lie.

"Please believe me."

"Okay."

"Luna and her elder sister Leanne have a really bad character. I have stayed in that area and I know all about them. People talk about them and I don't want her getting you in any sort of trouble or mess. That's why I want you to maintain some distance. Please believe me. I'm not lying. Go ask anyone out there and they'll tell you what kind of a character those two have."

"Okay." I have no words. I didn't expect that from her. She does have a habit of flirting with others but that's just her nature. She's like that with everyone but I didn't expect her to kiss him.

"Hey Lexi. Hey Zac." Elaine comes walking towards us.

"Hi." I say giving her a hug then do our handshake.

"Lexi are you okay?"

"Yeah." I force a smile, stopping my tears from flowing out. The vision in front is become so blur with my tears.

"I've missed the old us."

"Same." I smile, remembering how close and crazy we were until  misunderstandings happened and trust broke.

"So how are you Zac?"  She asks swatting at his arm.

"I'm good."

"So how's things between Luna and you? Lately I've heard you'll ended your friendship."

"Yeah, we did. Things weren't working out in our friendship. Lots of fights and misunderstandings."

"Oh. But to be honest you'll were bff goals."

"No we were never. Maybe you and me were!" I say but deep down inside I know Luna and me were fucking goals.

After having a long conversation, Zac and me head home.

"Good night. I love you."

"Night baby. Love you more." With saying this he leaves.

Luna loves me. We kissed. She liked Zac. She kissed him. I'm so confused.
She was the reason Justin and me broke up. She was the reason Melissa and George had fights. She came in between Kim and Andrew too.
She loves me I know she does but all of this makes me believe that she's tried taking away everyone's boyfriends. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Still believe her love for me or is it just fake. Just to separate me from Zac. I gotta be distant like Zac said. I have to. She kissed my boyfriend and I'm gonna keep quiet. This is what a best friend does? I should hate her but something doesn't let me. I can't believe any of this. This is insane. She couldn't have kissed Zac!

Morning arrives and I get dressed for school. On the way, my mind and heart is debating with each other. My mind recalls that she kissed Zac, how she came between Justin and me and in between every relationship while my heart feels the way her sweet lips moved onto mine, how she kissed me, how indescribable was that kiss, how much she wants and loves me. My anxiety grows as we're closer to school. She kissed Zac. I can't keep quiet! I finally decide to confront her.

"What's wrong? You look very worried." Kim asks me.

"I don't know how to tell you this but Luna kissed Zac."

"What the fuck? How do you know? She did?  When?" Her eyes pop out as she asks multifarious questions.

"I had the same reaction as you. She did last summer when Zac and she used to hang out at St Pat's. She was the one to kiss him and I can't believe it. I didn't expect that from her."

"You should talk to her about this."

"According to Zac, Leanne and she have a bad character in their area so he advised me, more like warned me to stay away from her."

"See we all know Luna's behavior. She's that flirty type, it's just her nature."

"I know, but I didn't expect her to kiss Zac. You told me she liked him."

"Yeah. You should talk to her about this."
As soon as I look away from Kim I see Luna walking towards us. Fuck. She's gonna hug me now. But she doesn't. Ouch, she didn't hug me. Whatever, I have to talk to her. She looks sad and maybe it isn't the right time to talk. I shouldn't feel sorry for her anymore. She kissed Zac. How could she?

"I need to talk to you."

"Yes." A smile finds its way onto her face, deepening her dimples. Her smile is so wide but I can see tears blurring her eyes.

"If it's something sad then I'm not listening because I'm already upset and have cried enough yesterday." She tells me.

"We need to talk." I say in serious voice. We shouldn't right now. She's sad, I knew she cried the night before. Her eyes were so blurry this morning, still is. I could feel she was sad. I could sense it and I shouldn't be upsetting her more. She's probably upset about the picture I uploaded with Elaine saying sorry and not with her but our friendship is private, the reason why I didn't upload our picture. Anyways whatever I'm upset too. I thought she loved-

"Are you leaving me?  Again?"
