chapter two ♛

fourth of july pt 2

aliyah cosentino
i was currently sitting downstairs in mattias room with alejandro, kairi, and megan.

"where are alvaro and roshuan?" i asked, taking a seat on mattias couch next to ale.

"i have no clue, i haven't heard from them in like two days." mattia shrugged.

i picked up my phone and texted alvaro.

alvaro romero <3
aliyah- hey wya?
alvaro- around
aliyah- what's going on? how come ur not at the bbq
alvaro- cause
alvaro- nobody wanna be there ctfu
aliyah- wdym? we've been coming here for the forth of july since we were kids
alvaro- okay mattia should've thought about that.

"mattia? what happened with alvaro." i asked sternly. usually, no secrets are really kept in our group.

"nothing! i swear." he put his hands up, like he was surrendering. i could tell he was lying. 

"he says otherwise." i shrugged.

"don't worry about it, aliyah" kairi said.

i was angry. i wanted to know what happened. we don't keep secrets in this group. we never did. and i absolutely refuse to start now.

"let's just pretend nothing happened and have a good day." megan smiled.

"okay." i sighed. she's right, i have to fix myself, not others.

we all got up to go outback to sit with our families.
-
once the party died down, and it was kind of just us. my mom had gone home, same with the rest of our families.

"you guys wanna sleep over and hit the beach tomorrowwww?" mattia asked, showing us the weather in wildwood, which seemed to be pretty good.

(a/n ik they don't go to wildwood (mattias words) but that's my beach and it's the only beach i really know)

"yeah that sounds like a good idea." kairi said.

"wait no. i'm not fifth wheeling." mattia laughed.

"you've been all day." alejandro said.

"yeah come on it'll be fun!" megan joined in.

"why don't you bring that girl? i forget her name i'm sorry." i laughed.

"jessie? no. she's weird i cut her off." mattia said

"how can the hottest not get a girlfriend" kairi moaned, jumping on mattia.

"okayyyy! i've seen enough." i laughed.

"why don't we all just meet up tomorrow?" alejandro asked, "i wanna get changed and stuff."

"yeah me too" kairi nodded in agreement with alejandro.

everybody said their goodbyes and walked upstairs, i was the last one.

mattia was laying on his bed, he looked bummed, and lonely.

"hey, you know you never need to bring a girl to hangout. it's basically just us and megan, i was around long before i started dating ale." i said to mattia.

"i know. it's not the same though." he said, not even making eye contact with me.

"what?" i asked. i was genuinely confused. i don't think i've changed at all. i act the same around the boys as i always did.

"nothing, just go." he said, turning over.

i let out a breath. just go? he's clearly upset, i'm not leaving till i find out why.

no. i'm leaving.

a million thoughts ran through my mind. was mattia okay? i can't believe i hadn't noticed that he wasn't. i'm his bestfriend and in just walked out on him while he was upset.

i decided not to turn around though, to just keep walking. i don't care. we all only have two months left together, and if mattia is going to ruin that, i'm just gonna sit back and not let it ruin my time.

"hey, you okay?" alejandro asked when i made it to the top of the steps.

"yeah." i smiled, quickly changing my expression.

"okay, can i sleep over?" he asked quietly.

"yeah of course" i smiled.

we walked out of mattias house and to alejandros car.

"are you gonna tell me what you and mattia we're talking about?" i asked as i got into the passenger seat.

"are you gonna tell me what you and mattia were just talking about?" he asked as he got into the drivers seat.

"i was just making sure he was okay. he seemed bummed.." i said, "now what were you guys talking about?"

"why do you care if mattia is okay." he rolled his eyes, pulling away from mattias house.

"because he's my bestfriend alejandro. you can't seriously be jealous of mattia. i've been friends with him forever." i practically yelled, nothing made me more mad.

"if you care so much about him maybe he should be your boyfriend." alejandro scoffed.

"let me out." i said unhooking my seatbelt.

"shut up aliyah."

"no, alejandro let me out." i said.

"i'm not letting you walk home."

"whatever." i said under my breath.

"aliyah come on, i told him to just fall back a little. you're my girlfriend, not his. i get that you guys are 'bestfriends' or whatever, but still." alejandro said, as he parked the car on my street.

"alejandro, i love you. your my boyfriend." i said, he was being dumb.

we both got out of the car and made our way into my house and to my room in silence.

"maybe it just makes me mad." alejandro said as he took a seat on my bed.

"i think you're jealoussss." i giggled & poked him, while i took a seat next to him.

"i'm not jealous aliyah." he rolled his eyes.

"are you sure about that?" i joked.

"aliyah fuck off i'm not jealous of mattia, you're my girlfriend not his." he said, pushing me backwards so i fell on my back.

he slowly pressed his lips onto mine. i guess he isn't mad at me anymore.
