I looked at her. My eyes seemed to shrink, and salty tears slid down my cheeks. She looked at me. Her eyes seemed to shrink, and salty tears slid down her cheeks. As much as I hated her right now, she wasn't the bad guy. She didn't do anything wrong. The person that I wanted to be the good guy, the one who was always on my side, he was the bad guy.
At that moment, Joy wiped the tears from her face and went upstairs to her room. I stayed in the living room, reading a book about Egyptian mythology, and quietly letting the tears drip from my eyes. I read until ten o'clock when I heard Victor state, "It is ten o'clock, you have five minutes precisely, and then I want to hear a pin drop!" I closed my book, and headed upstairs.
When I got in the room Amber was sitting at a mirror, taking off her make-up. "What's wrong boo?" she asked me. As her eyes met mine, I collapsed on my bed, and began to sob. She walked over, one eye on, and sat down next to me. "You know, that Joy, she is such a bitch kissing Fabian like that. I mean, Jabian doesn't even sound right, but you know Fabina, now that's just right," Amber tried to comfort me.
"That never happened," I sobbed, "he kissed her!" I sat up and rested my head on Amber shoulder, "he kissed her, and then he told me that Joy kissed him." Amber began hugging me, I was glad that she was here for me. A friend was all I really needed.
"How do you know that he kissed Joy? How do you know that that's what really happened?" Amber questioned, hoping that Fabian was innocent.
"Patricia and Eddie." I muttered. "They were about to leave for their date when Eddie realized that he'd forgot his leather jacket. They went back to get it. They saw him kiss Joy, and they never even got to get the jacket."
"It's okay Nins," Amber whispered, "things will get better." Just as she said that, they heard a knock on the door. Amber opened the door, hoping that it wasn't Fabian. It wasn't Fabian.
It was a girl, there was make-up dripping down her face, her hair was tied up in a messy bun, and she was accompanied by two of her best friends. Joy stood there, Patricia to her left, and Mara to her right. "Hi," Joy innocently murmured.
"Oh great, your here," Amber plainly stated. She was about to close the door as Patricia started in.
"Wait... why are you hating on Joy Amber? She didn't do anything, it was Fabian who did!" Patricia obnoxiously said. Amber then opened the door, and the three girls walked in.
"Look Nina, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you and Fabian had gotten back together, and when he asked me out, I was almost sure that you guys were broken up. I promise you, I would never intentionally do anything to hurt someone who I would like to try and be friends with," Joy explained.
"It's fine," I sobbed, "all that I really care about right now, is putting Fabian in his place." Then I layed back down, and stopped crying. I was fine, and Fabian was going to get what he deserved.
"You know what, I'm in," Joy chimed, "we are going to show him what he deserves." Then Joy and I looked at each other, and for the first time that week, we both smiled. Even though Joy was once someone that I thought I would never call a friend, I knew that she was one. And he thought we'd never know.
