CHAPTER 2

Based off of a true story, names have been changed and some events in this story did not really happen.

I looked at the clock for the tenth time.  4:36, it's been 15 minutes, how long does it take for Chloe to put a pair of jeans on?

I put my feet on her dash board, I knew how much she hated it, but she's taking so damn long that she can't really get mad.

I waited another five minutes, turned the heat off cause it was hot and took my feet off the dash board I sighed.

 I decided to call Jeremy. I'm sure he is done getting help from Mr. Bailey by now.

I punched in his number and just as I was about to hang up because I was sure it was going to go to voice mail, he answered.

"Hello?" He said, his breaths coming out fast like he just ran.

"Hey babe, it's me. You sound like you just ran."

"Um, yeah, I was just running on the treadmill, what's up?" He said, there was something weird about his voice.

"Just waiting for Chloe to finish putting on a pair of jeans, she's probably just hooking up with some stupid guy anyways. Like, it's cool she can hook up with whoever she wants, just have enough class to do it when your best friend isn't waiting in the car, you know?" I said in a rush, I don't even know where all if that came from, all I know is that for some reason I'm pissed off at nothing.

"Ugh, it's just for once I wish she wasn't so selfish all the time. I mean I sacrifice hanging out with all of my other friends to hang out with her because none of them like her, she is a total bitch to you, and she can't even sacrifice one hook up. It's not like I'm going to walk home in this weather and I'm most defiantly not going to go see who she's hooking up with since it's probably someone's boyfriend and then I would have to go to school on Monday and look that girl in the eyes and pretend like I didn't know her boyfriend was cheating on her, God knows I love Chloe to death, but she's such a slut sometimes."

I knew instantly that I was going way overboard, and that I was being by definition two-faced, but I was mad and I had the right to let off steam, and it was only to Jeremy I knew he would understand and would make me feel better.

But he didn't, he didn't say anything. Which I was kind of surprised about, I would think that at any opportunity to talk about Chloe, he would take it without a second thought, guess I was wrong. Again. Great now he probably thinks I'm a PMSing bitch. Cool.

"Jer, you there?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm here." He said quietly, he sounded pained.

 What the fuck is up with everyone today? It's like Jeremy and I switched roles. He is usually the one bashing Chloe and I'm the one in the background who silently disagrees.

"Look Jer I know that was really bitchy, but for some reason I felt really pissed off. But whatever, I'm fine now. You sound really weird, you okay?" I looked out of my window and finally saw Chloe walking towards the car, I felt a pang of guilt for being so mean to her behind her back just moments earlier.

"Uh, yeah I'm okay... Just stressed about our math test on Monday." He said, his voice almost back to normal, but not quite.

I sighed. Wow, Jer way to make your PMSing girlfriend feel even shittier. Now not only do I feel bad about talking about Chloe, but Jer probably thinks I'm going psycho. Awsome.
