Soon You'll Scream My Name

"No fucking way!" Andra yelled.
I tackled her to the floor and covered her mouth.
"Keep it down, loud mouth."
She began to laugh as I got up off her.
"So you two are officially together again?"
I nodded, but I guess my face didn't seem ecstatic.
"What's the matter? Aren't you happy?"
"Of course, yeah, but there's someone I've started to like."
Andra's jaw dropped as she smacked my arm.
"You said you could never move on from Jamie!"
"I haven't moved on! This is just a little crush that will soon go away, I hope." My voice died down at the end.
She raised an eye brow. "Tell me who."
"You don't know him." I said quickly.
"Then it won't be a problem knowing his name, now spill."
The first name that popped into my head: "Carter."
Andra snorted. "What a classic name. What's he look like?"
I smiled. "Long back hair, amazing blue eyes, sort of my height and just plain stunning."
She got that grin on her face I'm all too familiar with.
"What's he like?" I rolled my eyes.
"He's a total douche. He is always being a jerk and he doesn't care about anyone except himself."
"Hm, sounds like you." She laughed.
"Shut the fuck up," I snapped.
"Alright, alright. But if he's such a 'badass'," she used air quotes with her fingers, "why do you like him?"
I leaned back against my bed and pressed my lips into a straight line.
"I don't know. There's just this feeling I get when I'm with him. That I can tell him absolutely anything and I can trust him with my life. It's a feeling that he's always going to be there for me."
Andra was looking at me with a blank stare. This is her language for, Why haven't you got a grip on the boy already?!
"But he has a girlfriend, kind of."
"Kind of?"
I sighed. "He sleeps around a lot."
Andra laid down on her back on the floor.
"Great, my best friend finally likes a playing man-whore."
I chucked a pillow at her face. She mumbled something into the pillow.
"What?" I asked.
She sat up and put the pillow on her lap.
"Do you feel that way around Jamie?"
I bit my lip. "Around Jamie I feel protection. I mean, he's been there for me for a fucking long-ass time, you know that. He was my best friend for years. I really like him, and I want to be with him, but that friendship bond grew over the past few months that he's been gone. I don't even feel like we're a couple anymore."
"Then cut it off with him. Don't let him get sucked in any deeper."
I snorted. She threw the pillow back at me.
"You sick-minded girl."
"As if you aren't one too!"
She stuck her middle finger up at me, then looked at her nails.
"You got any orange nail polish? My nails are naked."
I laughed. "You know I do. The container is in my closet."
Andra crawled over to the closet and slide the mirror door open and pulled out the see through container. She pulled it back over to where we were sitting. She pulled the blue lid off and started pulling up bottles until she found the exact color she was looking for. I turned my attention away from her and towards the window. In plain sight was a huge, full moon.
I wondered how I'm going to break it off with Jamie.
