Miley's POV
"Les, Carl just called me and told me he can't wait to see me on Friday! Les?" I looked over at my best friend and saw her crying.
"Mark..girl..café..hour ago.." she said like she was hyperventilating, but I knew what she said cause I speak heartache. That translates to she saw Mark an hour ago with another girl at the café around the corner.
"I'm sorry Les." "It's not your fault." "I know but I still feel bad." "Whatever. He's a jerk." I said sternly.
"You know what, let's go have a gno, a regular girl's night." "Okay. I guess it could help." As she finished talking her cell light up and the caller ID said Mark.
"There's no way I'm answering that! I wish he wouldn't call and just leave me alone, cause there's no way I'm answering my phone!" she said triumphantly.
"That's the spirit Les! He cheated on you, he should've been good, cause you are fine and it's time for you to draw the line!"
"Yeah! And I won't see him! Let's have a good time and get him off my mind! Let's have a girl's night and I don't need him!!"
"Totally! So what do you want to first?" "Let's watch a movie. And not a stupid romance movie, a cool action movie where the women are independent and don't need the men!"
"Les? You're scaring me." "Sorry Miley, I got carried away."
"Let's watch Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!" "Perfect! Eowyn doesn't need a man and conquers all!!!!" Les said very excitedly and scarily.
"Leslie!" "Sorry." She said quietly.
When we finished watching the movie it was 7:00.
"What's next?" I asked. "Hmm… You pick Miles." "Okay, let's make some dinner. I'm starving!" "Yeah me too."
"I'll make my homemade pizza cause I know that's your favorite." "Thanks Miley!"
An hour later we ate my delicious homemade pepperoni pizza.
"Miley this is delicious as usual." "I know." "Can we watch another movie?" "Sure what do you want to watch?" "How about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?" "Cool. I'll put it in."
We started the movie at like 8:00, so about half way through we were really tired so we fell asleep.
At about 1:00 I woke to some weird noise. I looked around and saw Leslie in the corner crying.
"Les?" "Yeah Miley?" she said while wiping the tears from her face. "What's wrong?"
"About a half hour ago, I woke up when I got a text. It was from Mark. You can read it."
Leslie,
Listen, I think we need to break up. The truth is I was using you to get someone else to like me. I know that sounds so high school, but it's the truth. I never really like you that way, but I knew you did so I acted like I liked you, to get this girl jealous. The best news of all is today the girl I liked asked me out! I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said..
"Les? Is there more to the message?" "Yeah here."
Leslie,
Sorry! I ran out of space. She said yes. I'm going out with this girl. I really hope we can be friends. I always liked you as a friend, just not more. So I hope we can be friends. I love you, but like a sister. Please forgive me.
Love,
practically your brother,
Mark
"Les. I'm so sorry." "I feel so horrible." "I know breakups can be tough, especially when you're being used." "Yeah I know. There is no way I'm being friends with him though." "Of course not. Only an idiot would stay friends with a guy like that." I told her. I felt so bad for her."Let's get some sleep Les." "Okay. What time is it?" "It's about 1:45 now." "Hey Miley?" "Yeah?" "Thanks for being there for me." "No problem. I'll tell you what, tomorrow, we're having a girl's day, and then another girl's night." "Okay."
We woke up tomorrow and went to make breakfast.
"Les? What do you want for breakfast?" "I'm not hungry." She said drearily. "Come on Les, you've got to eat something." "Fine I'll have some toast." "Okay."
"Let me ask you something. Are you ready for a gno?" "What?" "We're going out. It's Friday night, and I moved my date to tomorrow, so we can spend the day together." "Thanks Miles." She said happily.
"What are we doing?" "That's up to you." "Let's go see Meet the Spartans." "Great." "Let's have a girl's night."
Author's note: they were in college in this chapter. It was the same time as the last chapter. This chapter, I'm happy to say, is longer. It took about two word docs to make this, unlike the others which took about one. Please review the story.
