As I walk towards the restaurant, I think about Sylv. I can't believe she actually went for a meal with her family last night. I'm not condoning it, it's just strange considering she usually does anything to avoid family time and I gave her the perfect opportunity. Hmm. I realise that I've hardly thought about Johnny. It's so difficult though. I want to be able to say that I'm maturing, and feeling like I felt when I actually walked away. But I don't. I have to make myself not think about him. He's with Sylv and I need to accept it. I think I'm going to have to break things off with Jake though, I don't want to hurt him; he's a decent guy. I push open the doors into the restaurant and spot Jake straight away in a black t-shirt, jeans and leather jacket. Mmm, my kinda guy. Maybe I didn't have to break up with him...

"Hey Baby!"

"Hey Jake, did you have a good evening last night?" He goes pale. What's up with him?

"How did you know I was out last night?"

"Erm, because you told me you dope!" I laugh and lightly punch him on the arm. He gives a vague laugh and looks at the menu.

"So did you have a good evening?" I probe.

"Huh? Oh yeah sure it was okay." He looks so uneasy.

"Jake what's wrong?"

"huh? Nothin'"

"Jake I'm not fucking stupid. What's happened. Just tell me." He's winding me up now, what's his deal?

"You really wanna know?"

"What the hell crap have you got yourself mixed up in?"

"No no, nothing bad. Well, not that kinda bad." What?

"Look Jake, you're freaking me out. Tell me what is wrong."

"I don't wanna." Oh my God, what is his problem?!

"Jake. Tell me what is wrong before I remove your lungs with this teaspoon." He laughs but soon reutrns to his zombie state.

"Well..." he pauses. "Look, Baby, I really like you. Please promise we can still be friends." I want to laugh. What's this got to do with me?

"Okay, I promise."

"Right. Well you know last night I said I was busy."

"Yeah."

"I erm. I had a date." What a fucking dick. Cock. Argh why does every fucking guy I meet have to be an utter twat?

"Great, thanks. Thanks for nothing asshole." I stand up.

"No. You promised you wouldn't be angry and I haven't finished my story." Eugh, he's right I did. I scowl and sit down silently. He didn't say I had to speak to him.

"It wasn't anybody. I really think she could be the one. You're completely gorgeous, any guy would be lucky to have you, but this girl, she's just different."

"Jake, why the fuck would I care. This was just a summer thing. Go to your fucking whore."

"Hey Baby shit the hell up about her."

"Why should I give a shit about her?"

"Because it's sylvia okay. I met Sylvia last night." I look at him in shock. He's a guy. I know guys do things like this, but Sylv. She lied to my face, pretended she was playing happy families while she was snogging my boyfriend! That's why she didn't want to come this morning! But wait-

"What about Johnny? Does he know?" I ask. Why did I say that?

"Erm yeah. He didn't mind too much, he said that he liked someone else anyway and he didn't wanna hurt Sylv cause she was a great girl." Wow. Oh Wow.

"Did he say who?"

"No. Just that while he knew Sulvia was gorgeous and any guy would be lucky to have her, that this girl was just different." He looks at me for a long time and I see it dawn on him. "No!"

"Look nothing happened between us okay, you know I left early and I've been pretty much on my own since except for my dance lesson. Not like you you cheating son of a bitch." He looks at me sorrowfully and I smile. "It's okay Jake, make my cousin happy, but please don't hurt her. Please don't do that."

We stand up and hug and he says to me "Of course I'm not going to hurt her. Are you gonna date Johnny now then?"

"To be honest, I don't know. I don't wanna get my hopes up for nothing you know."

"Baby, he's a fool for you, treat him right." He kisses me on the cheek and leaves. Huh he didn't even have any breakfast. I consult my watch.
