that kind of love // m.p.

chapter 25

Riley: and yeah, that pretty much covers it all.

Noah: oh.. um, I don't have to worry about him though right?

Riley: what? no of course not. We're just friends...that occasionally fight but other then that we're good.

Noah: okay, that's all I needed to hear.

Riley: w-what? Your not worried about us?

Noah: well, no. I trust you. If you say there's nothing to worry about I trust that. Besides, I'm not insecure, why would I worry? I got you now, not him.

I smiled and blushed hard at the camera.

Riley: oh I gotta head to work tomorrow let me get some sleep.

Noah: of course, goodnight.

Riley: goodnight.

I hung up and changed into more comfortable clothing and hopped in my bed. I scrolled on my phone for an hour before I felt myself drift off into a deep sleep.

mattia
I laid down next to her, out of breath. I turned my head over to her, smiling. She's beautiful.

Carly: hmm I'm gonna shower.

Mattia: okay.

She leaned over, kissed me, and threw on my tshirt before heading over to the bathroom. I heard the shower running, and music start playing. I sighed deeply, and felt my heart rate drop lower. I heard the knocking on my door. I sat up and scanned the room, I saw some underwear close by and ran over, slipping them on.

Mattia: c-coming!!

The knocks only got louder, as I raced to find a shirt. By the time I had one on, the door was banging.

Mattia: DUDE I SAID IM COMING!

I paced over to the door and whipped it open eagerly, to see a pissed Kairi standing in the doorway.

Kairi: so, heard you almost laid hands on my sister?

Mattia: k-Kairi! Hey man how have you bee-

Kairi: cut the crap is it true?

I looked down in regret. Kairi scoffed and looked away down the hall, before coming back and punching me in the nose. I held my face in pain.

Mattia: what the hell man!?

Kairi: what? Weren't you gonna do that to my sister? Or tell me I misheard.

I stayed quiet for a few seconds.

Mattia: look- I was heated-

Kairi: I don't give a shit mattia! If Ale wasn't there to stop you, what would have happened?! You would have hit my sister, then what?! Said sorry?! nah nah that don't slide.

He stepped into my apartment. I backed up.

Kairi: I'm not the little 5'4 olaf our supporters made edits of anymore mattia! You know how I feel about my family especially!

Mattia: I know.

Kairi: yeah! you do! what about the time Gian Luca was being bullied by that group of boys at school in high school?? What did you do?! You went ballistic and tried fighting them!! Or when MY little sister, who you considered yours, was getting comfortable with Gian Luca?! We threatened to beat the shit outta him. We've always been a pair man, protecting our family from harm. Now? Now your the harm on my family.

He said as he pushed me back.

Mattia: hey! Calm down we can talk about this-

Kairi: no there's nothing to talk about mattia! I'm done. We are done. The dynamic duo? Olaf and Dino? Mairi?? It's over.

He stormed out of the apartment, leaving me heartbroken. A break up hurts, more than anything, but a best friend break up? Beyond words can describe. I felt tears sit on the edge of my eyelids, and my breath turn heavy. I walked over to the door and shut it. I heard the bathroom door open.

Carly: babe? what's wrong?

I turned around, tears fighting to be put back. Carlys expression changed as she held her towel, hugging me. I felt a single tear stream down my cheek. I don't know what about that was but..

I haven't seen Kairi in weeks. Before that, years. I don't know I guess I learned to smile and cherish every moment I get with him. He's my best friend. Always by my side. I don't know when he didn't smile and give me the biggest hug, it hurt. To think that it's over.. the dynamic duo, Olaf and Dino, to think that Mairi was gone. It hurt. Memories from high school flooded back. The first time we met, parties, sleepovers, food runs, hot tubs, and events like playlist, and social bash with hundreds of fans chanting the name "mairi" ...to think that it's over, well it's the worst feeling in the world.

"mairi." The power and potential that name holds in unbelievable. Though it's slim, I just won't accept the fact that it's done. It will not be over. No way. I won't let four years worth of memories go down the drain like collateral damage, and move on. No way...

(y'all I'm sorry about Carly and Mattia I just-😭)

but dude imagine mairi ever being over, I would cry.
