Nothing Is Better Sometimes

21. I fucking hate her.

||One, two, three. Yeah, she's in love with the concept, as if we're all just how she imagined. 'Cause "we're in love but just don't know it yet", huh. Well, tell me how am I supposed to see the magic?||

--MAXINE--[✔]

I sat in Billie's bed cuddling her and playing with her hair. I still cant believe that she pulled me into her world twice now, all while I'm dating Danielle.

"Max," She turned around to face me and hold my hands. "We should run away together."

"Like, right now?"

"Yeah, let's do it. We can run away to like, El Salvador or something."

"Bitch, that's a whole different country."

"Fine, what about Arkansas?"

"I never even said I'd go."

"You're no fun." She pouted at me.

"Well, I mean I kinda like this house." She got up and sat away from me. "Oh, you're mad because I don't want to give my life up to go run away with you? Did you forget about school?"

"You don't even need to go to school, you're rich you idiot."

"I guess. Look, we can take a trip somewhere."

"Like El Salvado-"

"No. Like Hawaii or something. Let's go somewhere tropical."

"Then let's go to Punta Cana."

"Okay."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Just don't tell Danielle."

"Then we need to make up a lie."

"No shit. How about something like, you going to visit an old friend and I'm going to look at colleges."

"Um, sure. It's whatever though." Billie gets up and drags a suitcase out of her closet. "I have to start packing already!"

"Hey, hey. We didn't even plan how long it'll be."

"A week. Done." She went into her closet to look for clothes and I sighed. Then someone knocked on the door.

"Billie, is Maxine in here?"

Fuck. I got up and got into Billie's closet when she came out.

"Don't make a sound." She whispered to me. Does she think I'm stupid or something? She opened the door and I quieted my breathing."Hi Danielle. I haven't seen her. Come in though." Ugh, great. I'm in this hot closet without my phone. The door shut and the bed creaked under both of their weight.

"I'm bored as hell. She just left without saying anything."

"Damn, that's rude."

"Sure as hell is." I sighed softly and rested my head on my knees.

"Danielle, how do you feel about your relationship with Max?"

"Weird. She doesn't act like she used to. All she does is sit and think. She used to be all bubbly and shit."

"Do you guys still have sex?"

"Um, not since we broke up. That was like, months ago. Since we got together we haven't done anything." Bitch is lying straight to your face Billie.

"Maybe I could help with that?" Gross! Even though I did that, gross!

"Like, how?" I'm gonna try to get some sleep in this bum's closet. I shuffle around and lay on my stomach. "What was that?"

"What was what?"

"In your closet." Someone gets up and opens the closet. I look up and it's Billie.

"Just Pepper in my closet!" She coos at me like she would with Pepper and pets me. "Dude, can you shut the fuck up?" She whispered to me.

"It's not helping that you tried to seduce my girlfriend."

"Yeah, about that. I had a-"

"Hurry up and help me Billie!" She smiled at me.

"Bitch is calling."

"Wai-" She shut the door on me.

"Why's Pepper in your closet?"

"Because it's dark in there. She's trying to sleep." I plug my ears and wait for them to finish.

.......

When I'm almost asleep, Billie yanks the door open.

"Get up stupid bitch."

"But I'm about to fall asleep.." She kicked me in my side and yanked on my arm. "Ow, you asshole!"

"Help me pack for our trip." I got off my stomach and sat on her bed.

"You do it. I gotta pack for myself anyways."

"Fine. Get out of my room while I pack then." I shrugged and left. I can't wait to tell Danielle I know she cheated on me when we have an argument.

..............

aye I'm feeling better after a week of staying home from school 👀 I don't have an updating schedule but I was thinking of updating on Fridays or Saturdays.
