Last Time on Game Of Reality
Carmen's apartment was nicely furnished with some good furniture and some paintings on the wall as well as a couple of plants and a decent television too, "Welcome to my place."
"Thanks Carmen." She smiled.
"Make yourself comfy, I know I will." Carmen smiled back.
Demetra's stomach growled as she blushed.
"You sound pretty hungry," Carmen noted, warmly.
"I am, Game Over doesn't exactly offer food." She giggled.
"Let's change that then. Anything you want in particular?" Carmen asked while she walked into the kitchen.
"Nah, make anything." She laughed.
"I thought you'd say that." Carmen laughed as well. "I'll make something." She smiled.
"Thanks girlfriend." Demetra beamed.
Carmen, a latina by heritage, decided to make some quesadillas. She saw it as a flavorful way to introduce Demetra to human food. However while the girls were soon enjoying a delicious, Mexican food, miles from where they were however Juni was in a state of stress and decision. The teenage boy was in his room, laying on his bed, in thought of just which girl should he let in his heart. His old flame from years ago Demetra, or his current girlfriend Gerti Giggles. He had about 24 hours to make a decision.
The rest of the girls night was peaceful, but Juni was about to receive a fateful phone call...
End Flashback
Juni's phone then rang as he picked up. "Yo, Juni Cortez here."
"It's Gary, what's up?" came the voice of one Gary Giggles. Gary and Juni haven't talked much since he allowed Juni to go out with his younger sister Gerti so this was a very interesting phone call in itself.
"Hey man. Things are stressful for me." Juni replied calmly.
"I bet they are, Gerti told about what you're going through. I bet you never thought you'd see Demetra again, huh?" Gary asked, chuckling.
"Yeah, I thought she was lost in that game forever dude." Juni replied, clearly in awe of the situation he was in.
"I know. But I just came to call you to say one thing since I know you have a lot on your mind." Gary mused.
"Sup man?" Juni asked.
"I want you to do the right thing and chose Gerti," Gary said, frank as could be.
"I don't know man. I've been remembering a lot of the good times I had with Demetra." Juni answered, unsure what to do.
"Those were years ago man and besides, Gerti's in love with you now and I know you've had good times with her too." Gary coaxed.
"Yeah I have, but Demetra has no one in the world but me and my sister." Juni replied. Being that Demetra was designed as a game character, Juni's statement was completely true.
"You and Gerti have been through a lot together. Remember OSS?" Gary said, trying to get Juni to recall the days where they busted bad guys as spies.
"Of course I remember man." Juni said, smiling.
"You and Gerti have been though a lot together and I don't want you to let that go for some girl who just popped back into your life after a few years." Gary said. He was trying his best to convince Juni to continue dating Gerti.
"Gary, I really appreciate your help, I really do man, but this is something I have to decide my way." Juni replied calmly.
Gary sighed a little. "Fine. But remember, my sister loves you and she's been in love with you for years. She wants to be with you, remember that." He said calmly, though there was a slight edge in his voice.
"Thanks man. Talk to ya later dude." Juni grinned.
"Welcome man, talk to you later." Gary replied
Juni hung up, a little smile on his face.
The following day Juni was in the center of the park looking his best. His hair was neat, he wore a white and blue hoodie with blue jeans and blue and white low-top Nikes on while he patiently waited on Demetra and Gerti to arrive.
Demetra and Carmen came up, followed by Gerti.
Gerti was accompanied by her brother. He wasn't going to miss this day for all he was worth and that just put a little more pressure on young Juni.
"Hey bro." Carmen smirked a little. This was highly amusing to her.
"Hey sis." Juni said to his sister with a furrowed brow. He knew Carmen was going to enjoy this moment of decision, especially if he picked Demetra.
Demetra smiled shyly at Juni, clearly lovestruck.
Gerti had the same innocent smile on her face. She couldn't wait for Juni to choose her.
Carmen gave Juni a nod. It was time for him to choose.
Juni took a deep breath. This was going to be the hardest decision that he ever had to make. "I never thought I'd have to make a decision this hard before." he said innocently, looking at both young ladies.
"It's okay Juni, whoever you choose, the other will understand." Demetra smiled sweetly.
Juni nodded before speaking once again. "Demetra. Four years ago I thought I'd never see you again after Game Over. You helped me find my sister and even though you decieved me I didn't care. I wanted to save you because you were just a pawn in some video game and now that you're in the real world I'm thinking about you and how we could make up for all of those years you were locked in that game." He smiled.
Demetra smiled brightly as she nodded.
"But Gerti...Honestly I've had feelings for you since Island of Lost Dreams even though I was too young and dumb to show it. We kicked butt together as spies for the OSS and stayed good friends before we dated, We went out together, had a lot of fun together and you have been an awesome girlfriend and a part of me doesn't want that to change." Juni spoke, his tone sweet and caring.
Gerti smiled in appreciation, nodding.
"And I had twenty-four hours to decide...and I know which girl I want to be with." Juni said
Both girls smiled with interest.
"And the person I chose is..." Juni started
Carmen smirked, crossing her arms in anticipation.
"Demetra..." Juni said through a little lump in his throat. He had to break a heart to save one in this case.
To be continued...
