You Were Never A Friend To Me, And You Can Keep All Your Misery
Ignorance Is Your New Best Friend
Stella's P.O.V.
I looked at the caller I.D. on my cell and frowned. Alex again. I pressed 'ignore' and put it away. I knew I probably shouldn't be ignoring him, but I was pissed. More so at myself for trusting him.
"Who keeps calling you?" My mom asked, poking her head into the den suspiciously.
"...Telemarketers?" I asked, hoping she'd believe it.
"Why are you so dark today?" She asked, looking at my apparel of black skinny jeans and a black and red hoodie. I felt dark.
"I'm not" I sniffed.
"Did you and Alex get in a fight?" She asked, jutting her bottom lip out.
"Mom. Can you not? I'm not in the mood for your relationship advice" I snapped.
"If you're in my house, you get my advice"
"Then I'll leave your house"
I got up from the comfy love seat and headed out the door. I was relieved when I saw Max step out of his car. He just got home. I ran into him and hugged his waist.
"Whoa, you okay?" He asked.
"No. Alex-" I started, but stopped when I saw Martin step out of Max's car,
As if my day couldn't get any worse.
"What are you still doing here?!" I groaned, getting frustrated.
"Stel" Max warned.
"How are you?" Martin asked,
"Bad" I said plainly.
"What happened?" Max asked. I sat on top of his BMW m3 and buried my face into my hands. I didn't care if Martin was right there. I needed to get it all out, since Angela ditched me for Zack.
"It's Alex. I met Zoey at the mall and she's going on about how their still together and how much he loves her and shit. God, I'm so stupid. Why did I believe he was different?"
"Maybe she's lying. Are you sure she's not a different Zoey? She could be some random fan" Max pointed out.
"No. I remember her. It's just...I don't know how to compete with her. She's tall, skinny, pretty, blonde, she went to college...I'm a drop out" I said.
"So? Alex doesn't judge you on looks. Besides, you're really pretty. Ask any of my friends"
"You're friends are douches, Max. I.E. Martin Johnson" I said.
"Hey!" Martin snapped.
Max chuckled.
"So are you breaking up with him then?" Martin asked.
I looked at him. I hadn't even thought about it. I didn't want to think about it. But if he was in love with someone else...it was my only choice. I could kill Zoey, but I would never even consider that path.
"I don't know" I sighed.
I let my cell ring again. "I'm going home"
"Bye sis" Max said.
I waved them away and drove home miserably.
Why was I so stupid? How could I fall in love with the boy I hate?
I felt warm tears run down my face. I was so sick of crying.
When I got to the apartment, I immediately went to my bed and sobbed. I missed the smell of Alex's bed.
My cell rang again. It was Jack. Just because I was pissed at Alex doesn't mean I should be pissed at Jack.
"Hello?"
"Stella! Why aren't you answering Alex?! He's been calling you all day!"
"Because"
"Because why?"
"Because I saw Zoey"
There was a short pause and distinct whispers. "Is this on speaker phone, Jack?!"
"Uh, no?"
"Bye" I snapped.
"Wait!" I heard Alex's voice.
I hung up quickly.
Lost my faith but don't you cry, trying to find a place to--
"What?!" I moaned when I answered my phone.
"I'm sorry, I should've told you" Alex said.
"Told me what? That you have a girlfriend?! That's something that you can't miss, Alex! How many other girls do you have in your twisted, slutty harem?!" I exclaimed. It felt good to get my anger out.
"She's the only one!"
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"Look, Stel. It's complicated. I couldn't break up with her" He explained.
'Because you're still in love with her"
"No! She's obsessed, okay? If I broke up with her, I didn't know what she'd do. So I figured she'd just go away"
I was silent as I thought of something to say. "Clearly she wants you so bad"
"I don't' want her, I want you!"
"Why though?" I asked, a little more calm.
"What do you mean why?"
"She's really pretty" I said quietly.
"What? Stella. you're beautiful..."
I sniffled and felt tears run down my face. "I'm stupid and ugly and fat"
"Stella, where is this even coming from?"
"Nothing. Just forget it"
