Chapter 14: Bestie Or Not?
933 Words
After the kiss, we went back to the dorm room and saw that all of Megan’s stuff was gone and only her dress, shoes, and a note was there. I kicked off my shoes and walked over to my bed. I opened the note and it read, ‘I’m sorry, Nemy. For kissing Milo, for getting drunk, and for always being desperate. For everything that happened tonight. I understand if you never forgive me, but at least promise me that we will always be besties. Love you. Love, Megan. P.S. You deserve Milo.’
I couldn’t believe she wanted to still be my best friend after what she just did. I dropped the letter in disbelief. Milo picked the letter back up and read it and was astonished.
“You’re not gonna forgive her, are you,” he asked me.
“Never,” I said, crossing my arms. “Matter of fact, let me text her.”
I pulled out my phone from my purse and texted her:
NEMY: I will NEVER forgive you. Just because you apologized, that doesn’t mean I’ll ever forgive you for what you did. And we will NEVER be best friends AGAIN! P.S. You’re a pick me. I don’t want to be friends with a pick me, and you know that.
I put down my phone, but she texted back immediately.
MEGAN: I said I was sorry. What else do you want from me?
NEMY: Oh I don’t know. The TRUTH? The truth of why you kissed him.
MEGAN: Oh come on. Don’t blame me. I was drunk.
NEMY: Not that drunk if you can still text this much. How many cups did you and Blade drink?
MEGAN: 4 cups…
NEMY: 4?!?! You’re not even drunk! You are just saying that so I wouldn’t be as mad at you as I am now.
How could you?
You knew I liked him, and you just kissed him?!
In front of me?!
And blamed it on the DRINKS?!
Oh you really messed up now.
I’m blocking this number if you don’t answer my question.
WHY DID YOU KISS HIM?!?!
MEGAN: BECAUSE I WAS JEALOUS AND STILL AM!!
NEMY: Wow.
You’re a hypocrite.
We made a promise that we would NEVER be jealous of each other over some crap like this, and when we were younger and I was about to feel a little jealous of you when you got that Gucci backpack, I didn’t because I remembered the PROMISE WE MADE AS KIDS!! Never talk to me again or I will block you.
There was a slight pause, and I knew I crossed a line, but I couldn't help it. She tried to steal Milo from me over a little jealousy.
Milo was looking over my shoulder as I texted the whole time. He sat down on his bed and I sat next to him and started to cry. Tears started running down my face at the fact that she broke our promise, that I agreed to be her best friend at 6 years old, and that she expects me to forgive her just like that. I’ve been through enough already and she just made it worse.
At the sight of me crying, Milo turned to me, his arms out, knowing that I needed a hug. I hugged him tight and he hugged me the same way
2 minutes later, Blade walks in and sees me crying.
“What happened,” Blade asked.
“Nemy lost her best friend,” Milo said.
“Megan,” Blade asked. “She died?”
“No,” Milo said. “She kissed me knowing that Nemy likes me.”
Just the thought of that made me cry harder.
“Shhh,” he said. “It’s gonna be ok.”
‘How does he know that,’ I thought. ‘The first few days felt like heck. How will anything be ok?’
I calmed down a little bit as Blade sat on the other side of me.
“I’m here for you,” Milo said. “I always will, beautiful.”
I sat up and asked, giggling, “Did you just call me beautiful?”
“Yeah,” Milo said. “Is that ok?”
“It is,” I said, putting my head on his shoulder. “I was just surprised.”
We both giggled while Blade sat there, looking happy.
“What’s wrong, bro,” Milo asked.
“I have a girlfriend,” Blade said, smiling widely.
“Who,” I asked, sitting up again.
“Her name is…April,” Blade said. “She has blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and is very sweet. She kissed me tonight. Tonight was awesome, well, for me anyway.”
I then realized that he sounded like he was talking about Megan. She has long, blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and dark chocolate skin. I decided to keep my thoughts to myself because I might be wrong.
“So, are you gonna cheat on her like you did to your ex, or keep this on for yourself,” I asked, teasingly.
“I’m gonna keep this one for myself,” he said. “Cheating is a lot of work.”
We all busted out laughing. I wiped my tears away and went to the bathroom to remove my makeup and my contacts and go back to my glasses. After that, I took my shower, changed into my pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom. I was tired, so tired that once I laid down on Milo’s bed, I immediately fell asleep, ready for my second day of school.
