Bosco was outside and looked over at Faith. Their shift was finally over. He was glad that he had caught her before she left. He needed to talk to her. He could tell that she was hiding something from him. It was written all over her face today. He hated not knowing what was really going on. But he hated the fact that she lied to him even more. He trusted. She's never lied to him before. He just wanted to know what was really going on. He hoped that she would tell him. All he wanted was to help her with what ever was wrong. She was his best friend. He cared about her. He knew that she was going through something right now. He needed to know what. He wanted to be there for her.
"faith, what's really going on? I know that you lied to me. It was written all over you face. Whatever it is, you can tell me," Bosco said. He hoped that she wouldn't get mad at him for confronting her like this. He just wanted to know that she was okay.
"When's Kim getting here?" Faith asked.
"In ten minutes," Bosco said. He didn't know why Faith needed to know when Kim was getting here.
"Good," faith replied. She leaned in and kissed Bosco. She really needed him right now. It's not like Kim would find out.
"Bosco, how could you?" Kim said. Bosco pulled away from Faith and looked at Kim. He saw tears fall down her face. He wished she hadn't seen this.
"Kim, this isn't what it looks like," Bosco tried to explain. What was Faith thinking kissing him? She knew that he was with Kim and that he loved her. Why would she do this?
"I don't want to hear it Bosco. I can't believe how stupid I was to think you actually cared about me. You're still the same as you were. I should have known," Kim said. She felt more tears coming and turned away. She couldn't stay here. She couldn't look at him. It hurt too much. She thought he loved her. She should have known that Bosco wouldn't change. She should have listened to Jimmy. Kim walked across the street and started walking home. She had to get away from here. She had to get away from Bosco. She should have never trusted him. Why did she have to fall in love with him?
When she got home, she saw Jimmy sitting on her porch. She really wasn't in the mood to listen to him.
"What are you doing here?" Kim asked. He was probably here to tell her that she was making a mistake seeing Bosco. She hated that he was right. But she hated not seeing this coming sooner. Bosco and Faith were really close. She just thought that if he did want to be with Faith, Bosco would have enough decency to tell her instead of her finding out for herself.
"I saw you walking and I could tell that you were upset. I just wanted to see if you were okay," Jimmy replied. He could tell that she wasn't. It looked like she's been crying for a while. Her eyes were red and puffy. He moved over so Kim could sit down next to him.
"I saw Bosco kissing Faith," Kim said. She looked at Jimmy. He was looking at the ground.
"Does he know that you saw him and Faith kissing?" Jimmy asked. He couldn't believe Bosco would do that to Kim. He thought Bosco liked her. He must have been wrong. Bosco didn't deserve her.
"Yeah. He said it wasn't what I thought. I can't believe that he did this. I thought he loved me. I loved him, Jimmy. He could have at least told me that he wanted to be with Faith instead of having me find out like this," Kim answered. She didn't know why she was talking to Jimmy about this. He didn't want her to be with Bosco. So this probably made him happy.
"I'm sorry Kim. I know you really liked him. Bosco's an idiot for doing this," Jimmy replied.
"I just want to be alone right now," Kim said. She looked at Jimmy. She knew he was trying to help her feel better. But she didn't really feel like having anyone around. She just wanted to be alone.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Jimmy said. He watched Kim walk inside and then he left. He felt so bad for her. He could tell that she was hurting.
"Bosco, what's wrong?" Faith asked.
"You shouldn't have kissed me. You know that I love Kim and now everything between me and Kim is screwed up. How could you do this to me?" Bosco asked. He still couldn't believe that Faith would do something like that. Now Kim was mad at him and probably hated him. This wasn't even his fault and now he could lose her. He didn't want to lose Kim. He loved her too much.
"I know you care about me Bosco. You just said it a few minutes ago. So why are you freaking out about this?" Faith asked.
"I care about you as a friend Faith. That's all. I love Kim. More than anything and now I can lose her. I hope you have fun on your "vacation". Don't expect us to be partners when you come back," Bosco retorted. He couldn't work with Faith after tonight.
"Don't do this Bosco," Faith said.
"Too late. I am. After what you did tonight, I can't work with you again. I don't even know if we can be friends," Bosco said. He looked at Faith again and then got in his car. He had to talk to Kim. He had to fix things. He just couldn't lose her. He needed her. He just hoped she would listen to him and believe him. He didn't want to be with Faith, he wanted to be with Kim. Kim had to know that. At least he hoped she did.
