Carl
I woke up with a smile on my face. I was so happy I knew it would be weird if anyone saw me in this state. I was singing and dancing to stereo hearts from my headphones I didn't hear the door open or see the time Eve and Joy came into my room till I turned around.
"ARGHH"
"Oops sorry Carl. I came too early didn't I?"
"Wow Carl I've not seen you dance in a long time. Is there something you're not telling me?"
"Shut up Joy."
I put my headphones away and took my laptop and bag. I grabbed Eve's hand and left my room.
"I'm so sorry again Carl"
"It doesn't matter Eve. I just wanted to talk to you. Can we go somewhere else?"
"Yeah sure."
We left the house and entered her car and we drove off towards Joy's office building. Joy doesn't come here often so the place is always empty. I always wonder what she uses the office for anyway. I unlocked the door and we got in. I turned on the lights and placed my things on the table. I offered her a seat and a cup of coffee.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?"
"Well the thing is if I tell Joy, Brittany and Alex they'll kill me and you're my boyfr.....friend I want to tell you"
"What is it Carl?"
"I decided to.....um to...date Dan"
"Oh that? I already knew."
"You did?!"
"Yeah my brother is easy to read. Last night he came home singing stereo hearts so when I saw you dancing and singing the same sing I knew you guys are together now"
"Oh.....that's good to know. I wasn't sure at first I wanted to date. I had to hide my sexuality but with Dan..."
"I understand you okay. He makes you feel things you've never felt before and you're scared. Don't be its all good I trust my brother won't hurt you. If he does he has four fans to answer to"
"Thank you Eve."
"You're welcome"
"Okay so the thing with you and Alex.....are you okay with it?"
"You mean our past? I'm alright... I mean I knew Brittany would start feeling insecure around me."
"I know that but...are you okay seeing Alex again? I know you guys were together even if it was a mistake"
"To be honest. I still have feelings for Alex. I couldn't hide it that time you came to catch us in the kitchen"
"Oh yeah. I think Alex still likes you."
"Oh no its impossible. She has Brittany now and she's everything she wants in a girl. I'm just a nobody"
"You're a somebody to her. She still cares for you. I saw it in her eyes when you came by yesterday"
"You think so"
"I know. She cane crying to me when you left."
"I shouldn't have gotten her hopes up."
"You didn't. I would be happy if you guys see you're for each other."
"That's nice to hear. I also want you to be happy with Dan."
"I hope so."
"Hey its okay. You'll be okay. Trust me."
I smiled at her and she also smiled back hugging me. I really liked Eve and she was also the perfect sister for me. We talked on a lot if things and she even gave me ideas for my book. She was funny and understanding. Now I know why Alex fell for her. When it was noon we left the office and she drove us back to my place. I got out of the car and waved her goodbye and walked back to my house. I entered the house with a smile and saw Brittany having an argument with Alex.
"You thought I wouldn't find out? You're cheating on me Brittany."
"I wouldn't have but yes I am cheating on you Alex. You never actually loved me. You always had feelings for Eve. You think I wouldn't find out?"
"I love you Brittany that's why I chose you."
"You chose me because you were angry with Eve. It was always Eve for you. You never thought of me."
"I do babe. I do. Why do you think I'm with you?"
"To get back at Eve. Look Alex it was nice knowing you but we have to break up. I'm sorry but its not going to work out like this."
"Brittany don't be like that gun"
"No Alex I can't keep lying to myself okay. I also want to be loved."
"I give you anything you ask for."
"You never gave me your heart. Alex do you really love me?"
"Brittany I...I...."
"Just as I thought. Let's break up."
"Wait Brittany"
I watched them walk up on the staircase Alex following a crying Brittany and I felt bad.
"This was bound to happen Carl."
"Joy? What happened?"
"What happened at the office Carl?"
"Nothing I just spoke to Eve that's all."
"That's what I want to know. Brittany said she heard you saying you wished Alex and get back together."
"What?! She was there?"
Brittany came storming down the stairs with her bags and Alex was chasing her out the door.
"What did you do?"
"I'm not sure."
Alex came back angry and crying. I didn't know what to do I just looked at her and moved towards her.
"Take your hands off me."
"Alex I'm sorry...I didn't know"
"Couldn't you keep quiet on that Carl? I didn't send you. Why did you open your big mouth."
"I didn't mean it....."
"You know what just forget it. I don't want to talk to you ever."
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry"
She just left and I stood there feeling bad and sad. I cried and left the house. I didn't want to stay there no more. I didn't want to be the reason for Alex's tears. I stopped in front of the diner and picked out my phone. I didn't know what I was doing and just called the number.
"Hey cutie how are... Hey you okay?"
"Can you come pick me up?"
"Okay where are you?"
"I'm where we first met."
"Okay I'll be there okay"
