The flirtation project

Part 2 - Chapter 8

6pm friday

"four more days alice." i ssaid as she walked in the door. she looked at carlos then drooped her head.
"yeah.."

carlos gave me a devil stare, and i died inside. great. now i was already hurting. and if i did tell him now he wouldnt belive me. great.

"hey guys i got a late shift today. someone, uh, cancelled." alice again said to cherfully
"aww really on a friday night? by honey." 

i dont trust her. i narrowed my eyes at her when she got to the door. i didnt want to do this to her, she was my bestfriend.  but. why would she do this.

"alright thats enough whats going on between you to." carlos got up from the couch and started walking towards me.
"what ever are you talking about?"
"dont play with me." i sighed long and big.
"dont worry im not the one whos playing wiht you..." i whispered
"what?"
"nothing."
"what is going on, every night for the past week alice has cried herslef to sleep."
"well why didnt you ask her!"
"because i dont want to upset her."
"what about me huh." tears started streaming down my face "what about me?! you didnt think of that did you! no one ever does, dont worry, im used to it. and by the way.its not alice you should be worried about. its yourself."
"what are you going on about. look im sorry for being so harsh. why should i be worried. what happened."
"i cant tell. i wont. because i made a promise to the biggest bitch in the world. shes lucky shes my friend."

i stormed off to my room once again.and strted to get teary. why is it always me that ends up hurting. 

*bleep*

my phone vibrated in my pocket and i checked it. it was alice, she texted me.

'im sorry... i lied.... i didnt have a late shift. i. i went over to bens house. and we. we. you know. im sorry. please dont tell carlos.. i promise i will tuesday ok. dont worry.'

"FUCK!" i yelled as loud as i could. carlos appeared at the door.
"you ok?"
"yeah im fine. dont worry."

i texted alice back.
'are you serious.'
'...yes..'
'why would you do that, your a nice girl'
'i dont want to be that kind of girl.'
'its to late for that.'
'did you tell carlos?'
'no. no i didnt.'
'thank you..'
'dont thank me. tell him before its to late.'
'yeah...'

alice had promised to carlos that she would stay pure for him. she had lied. that wasnt right.

alice came back home at around 8. we were all in the lounge watching howls moving castle. 

"hey alice come here, watch with us." carlos called over to her.
"no i cant, i have to do... homwork."
"c'mon. it wont take long."
"no! i-i cant."

she went to her room and started painting. she didnt leave her room for the next to hours. and when she finally did she walked very slowly against the wall, thinking we couldnt see her.

sunday 12pm

"im off to subway, you guys want anything?" i asked whilst leaving the house.
"yeah, meatball" Q said from the lounge.
"sure, anything with bacon." trent yelled next to him.
"nah im cooking spagettii for alice and i" carlos said from the kitchen.
"ok be back in 10." i walked down the stairs and got in my car. turned the key, and this time it started. i drove down to subway and saw a familiar face behind the counter.

"cornelious, right?"
"oh my gosh! hey, jenny..?"
"yeah."
"cool. o you still at USC?"
"yeah. may i ask, whats your major?"
"maths. yours?"
"physics."
"oh cool!"
"yeah, anyway gota go. my roomates will kill me if i keep them waiting haha."
"ok seeya."
"bye."

i walked out and got back in my car, turning on the radio. i wonder whats happening at home right now. i still cant believe that alice did what she did. that just wasnt right. i really want to tell carlos... but. ugh. what do i do.

when i got home i grabbed the bags and walked up the stairs, when i finally got to the top the door burst open. alice ran out crying. she went to her car and drove away. what the fuck?! oh my god. did she tell carlos? is this the result. oh. my. god.

i ran into the house and put the bags on the bench. carlos was nowhere to be found. crap. 

"wheres carlos?" trent and Q were still on the couch.
"in his room i think."
"shit."
"what?" 
"nothing!" i screamed from down the hall.

when i walked in carlos was at his desk writing on his laptop. i think it was a biology essay. when i got to the door he looked over at me. whats going on?

"hey whats wrong with alice?" i asked him, worried. he frowned. not a good sign.
"she lost her job at maccas. something about someone doing something, i think haha"
"thank god."
"why?"
"no reason."

i called her cell. she didnt answer. so i called again and again. finally she answered.

"oi what happened? was it ben?"
"what? how did you know?"
"carlos said something about someone."
"oh,"
"well what happened?"
"the manager caught us kissing. aparently i was distracting him, so i got fired..."
"really?!?! please, he will be moe distracted now!"
"yeah, i guess..."
"where are you?"
"im, im at bens house..."
"......really......"
"yes."
"two more days."
"yeah yeah i know!"
"well, bye"
"bye"

i hung up and looked down at my phone for a while. not really understanding anything.whats gonna happen? how is this all gonna go down. whos gonna hate me? when will i get hurt once again? whats coming..
