Taking a deep breath, I open the front door to find a very distressed Archie. I instantly furrow my eyebrows in worry.
"Archie, are you okay?" I ask and he looks at me like I am dumb for even asking that.
"Of course not! You haven't replied to my text messages and I'm upset that you're ignoring me!" He stomps his foot like a child before stepping inside my house as he huffs and puffs. "I said that I am sorry-"
"Over text message" I deadpan. Annoyed that he had come here and interrupted my time with Harry.
He turns around and sends me an exasperated look. "Seriously...you're mad because I did it over text?"
"Yeah seriously" I say with an eyebrow raised. "Saying sorry over text is the most shittiest way of apologising! What the hell has happened to you? You've never apologised over text message before" I cross my arms.
"I've been busy.." he mutters, frowning at me. "Obviously you wouldn't understand."
I drop my arms to my side and step forward with squinted eyes. "Excuse me?"
"I said" he mutters, leaning forward to point his finger at me. "You wouldn't understand!"
I feel anger start to boil from within me. Who did he think he is showing up to my house and pointing his finger at me with his voice raised like that. "What makes you say that?"
"Because you have been single your whole life! You wouldn't understand how much time and effort is put into a relationship. You're just petty because I give my time to Alissa now."
"Wooow" I hold the word out, a non-humorous laugh leaving my lips as I look at him with raised eyebrows. "So you think I'm jealous now?" I chuckle unamused. "Yeah right."
"Please..you hate when I talk about Alissa! You always look uninterested when I mention her and you always try to change the subject!" he shouts.
"Are you fucking joking?!" I shout back. "That's bold of you to assume that when I actually don't mind. It just gets annoying after a while when it's been a full day of everything being about Alissa. Take the other week for example, when you told me how she fucking likes her mango puréed. I mean who the fuck purées their mango unless they are making ice cream?"
"Puréed mango is actually delicious for your information. You just can't accept the fact that you're boring. All you do is watch the office, eat junk, volunteer at the bakery and come home to do the same shit again! I mean how boring can one get?" He flicks his hand at me. A very nasty glare aimed right at me.
I swallow harshly. Is that what he really thinks of me? So called best friend my ass.
"That already says a lot about you, Archie. I actually haven't been volunteering at the bakery, I work there now and have a life ahea-"
