Joey's POV
I couldn't even reply to Lucy. Jess totally had a fricken boyfriend. I've known Jess and Lucy for 6 years now. We all used to hang out together as best friends. After 2 years, I finally worked up the courage to tell Jess that I liked her. Jess completely freaked out and was mad because Lucy liked me a lot. After that we all started drifting apart. I couldn't lose them. No one was ever kind enough to me to like them. When I was a kid I was abused at home. I knew what I had to do. I told Lucy I liked her and she asked me out instantly.
I didn't really like Lucy all that much. She wasn't bad but something to when I was bored. But I couldn't help myself, have an undying love for Jess. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hurt Lucy but it was the only way.
I began to get ready, because I have to look my best to show Jess I'm better than that other guy, I spiked up my blonde hair with hair gel. Next I put on a sexy red shirt that showed my muscles and black skinny jeans. I looked at the clock, I had 30 minutes until I was supposed to be at their flat. It was about 15 minute drive so I decided to leave a little early.
I got into my red Mercedes and began driving to their flat. I tried imagining what this guy was going to look like. He better be fricken hot if Jess was choosing him over me. He probably wasn't even that handsome. I bet he's fat too.
I was so lost in thought I didn't even notice I had already arrived at their place. I parked my car right out front of the complex and walked to the lift. This thing couldn't have been any slower. Hey I'm on my way up I texted Lucy. Finally after what felt like forever, I reached their floor. I walked out of the lift. I got to the door and pounded it really hard. "Open up losers, I'm here" I said sarcastically.
I was greeted by Lucy's smiling face, "Hey babe." She said going in for a kiss. I moved in for a hug instead and looked in the apartment to see the back of Jess and some guys head sitting on the couch. We broke apart and Lucy didn't seem happy anymore. "Well aren't you gonna invite me in?" I said poking her side. She laughed and moved back gesturing me to come in.
I walked over to the couch feeling the rage boiling up in me. "Well I see Jessie's got a friend. Aren't you going to introduce me?" I said sternly as Jess turned around. "Oh. Joey." She said as the guy lifted his head off her shoulder. His chocolate brown eyes looked up at me. He smiled with perfectly natural pink lips. I noticed he was wearing Jess's oversized clothes. Jess rolled her eyes at me and turned back around. The guy's eyes lingered on my outfit for a few seconds then he put his head back on his shoulder.
"So what are we watching tonight guys?" I asked looked around the room. "Well…Lucy told us you wanted to watch a scary movie so we're going to watch The Ring." Jess replied. The guy looked up at him. "What's a scary movie?" He asked. "Uhm…What rock have you been living under?" I laughed. How could Jess like him? She's trying to make me jealous. "Joey shut up. He was just in an accident, he doesn't even remember his name." Jess said sternly. The guy pressed his face into Jess's arm clearly embarrassed. "Well sorry…what am I supposed to call him then?" I asked yet another question. Jess looked down at him letting him know it was his turn to answer. "You can call me Dan." He said with a smile. "Jess made it up." He did a smirk that said She likes me better, I win.
