Bury Me Alive

Chapter 7

::Mesly’s p.o.v.::

The next morning I woke up, looked down, and felt confused.

My clothes were… on… what the heck?

I slowly got up, off the bed, and walked into the bathroom.

Then I splashed some water onto my face and then looked at my reflection and cringed.

Ugh, I did look that bad, no wonder Andy didn’t want to be with me last night.

Wait… why did I want Andy to be with me?

Do I like him now, are we together?

I gasped.

When did this happen?!

I mentally slapped my forehead and then walked back into my room, or well Jinxx’s room.

What am I going to wear?

I groaned.

Andy… where are you when I need you?

“Knock, knock.” Andy said

I turned around and smiled.

“Can I come in?” He asked

“You’re already in here, so I don’t see why not.” I said

He stuck his tongue out at me and then came in with a tray of food.

“Did… is that breakfast?” I asked

Andy nodded.

He’s giving me… breakfast… in bed?

No one has ever done that for me!

“Um… look Andy… about last night…” I said

“What about last night?” He asked

“Well… never mind, but thanks for the food.” I said

Andy placed the food down on the bed and then sat next to it and crossed his arms.

“Yes?” He asked

I sighed.

“I … don’t know what to say, I mean… are we technically together now?” I asked

“It all depends on you.” Andy said

I bit my lip.

“Andy…” I said

He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

“I’m sorry, it was my fault.” Andy said

“No, it was mine… I’m the one who kissed you.” I said

“Yeah, I guess it is your fault.” He said

I laughed.

“Um… this friendship is hard…” I said

“Not really, you’re the one who’s making it difficult.” Andy said

I sighed, again.

“Alright… I guess you’re right, but we both like do things that usually couples do, but we’re best friends… and I don’t want to become together because that would ruin this thing we have …” I said

Andy pulled back and looked at me.

“What is this ‘thing’ exactly?” Andy asked

I shrugged.

“I really don’t know… maybe its friends with benefits?” I said

“You don’t want that though, and I don’t either.” Andy said

“What do you want Andy?” I asked

We both looked at each other.

“You know what I want, it’s what I’ve wanted all along.” Andy said

“Andy it’ll be weird, I mean we’ve been friends forever and it would ruin it if we were to you know break up.” I said

“Yeah, I know, you’ve told me this like a million times before, but could you please make up your mind, you are driving me crazy!” Andy said

With that being said Andy stormed out of the bedroom, and left me alone.

Tears started to well up in my eyes and I sank to the floor and wrapped my arms around my knees.

Why do I always have to make everything so complicated?

“I’m such an idiot.” I said

“Yes, you kind of are.” Someone said

I quickly wiped my eyes and looked towards the door to see who said that.

“Um… you’re Jake right?” I asked

He nodded and then walked in and sat down in front of me.

“You look like you could use someone to talk to.” He said

I nodded.

“Why did Andy storm off?” He asked

“I was a jerk to him, and said some stuff I shouldn’t have said.” I replied

“Oh, well… could you maybe explain to me why you don’t just go out with him already?” He asked

I gave him a weird look.

“What?” I asked

“Well I mean you slept with the guy, and you’ve known him for the longest time, so why don’t you guys get together?” He asked

“Who said I did?” I asked

He rolled his eyes.

“Please honey, the walls here are very thin.” He said

I blushed.

“Oh god, were we that loud?” I asked

Jake nodded, slowly.

I hid my face in my hands because I was so embarrassed.

Then I felt his hands move mine out of my face.

“Mesly, it’s okay, we’ve all done it, it’s a normal thing.” He said

“Still, it’s very embarrassing.” I said

He laughed.

“At least you didn’t have your mom walk in on you the very first time.” He said

I gasped.

“No way!” I said

He smiled and nodded.

“Yup, she walked in and I basically threw my ex girlfriend on the floor in an attempt to hide her and sat there looking like an idiot.” He said

I laughed.

“Wow, well I could see why she’s an ex now.” I said

He chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

“Yeah, please don’t tell anyone I told you that it’s a secret.” He said

“No problem, and you’re secret is safe with me.” I said

“Anyways so how do you really feel about Andy?” He asked

I bit my lip and played with my fingers, something I did when I was scared or nervous.

“Um… I’m not sure, I mean we’ve slept together, but we are best friends, and well… I don’t know.” I said

“Do you like Andy?” Jake asked

“I… okay don’t tell him, but yes.” I said

“I knew it! Dude, he’s totally crazy over you, why don’t you just tell him?!” He asked

“It’s not as easy as it seems.” I said

“Not really, he likes you, you like him. Tell me what’s complicated there?” He asked

“Well… we’ve been best friends since like forever and if we ever broke up, it would just be weird.” I said

“Why would you break up though?” He asked

“I’m not good enough for him.” I admitted

“Yes you are, you’re perfect for him and like I’ve said before he’s crazy about you!” Jake exclaimed

“I’m not pretty enough, and he deserves better.” I said

Jake’s jaw dropped.

“You’re not pretty enough, you are not pretty enough?!” He practically yelled

“Shh, keep it down, remember the thin walls?” I asked

“You’re gorgeous!” He said

“No I’m not.” I said

“Yes you are, I’m a guy, I should know.” He said

I blushed again.

“You’re lying.” I said

He looked at me with a serious face.

“Trust me I would never ever lie to you.” He said

“How do I know that’s true?” I asked

“I told you my deepest darkest secret.” He said

“Really… and how do you know I’m going to keep it?” I asked

“You promised me, and besides I know you wouldn’t say anything. You’re trustworthy.” He said

“Again, how do you know?” I asked

“I just do okay; now let’s get you ready for Andy.” He said

“Um… why?” I asked

“Well … maybe he wanted to take you out…?” He asked

I looked at him and then thought about it, but then gave up.

“Okay… judging from your make up, that totally rocks by the way, I can tell that you are good at putting something cute together.” I said

He laughed.

“Actually I’m only good at doing my own make up, Ash is the fashion-ista around here.” Jake said

“Who?” I asked

“Oh, that’s right you haven’t met CC and Ash yet… okay well they’re down stairs, so let’s go meet them.” He said

“You’ve already met them though…” I said

Jake sighed.

“You know what I mean,” he said

I laughed.

Jake then grabbed my hand and led me down stairs, where three guys were sitting down talking, until they saw me and shut up.

“Guys this is Mesly, Andy’s girl- I mean friend.” Jake said

“Hello Mesly!” CC said

I waved to him.

“Hi.” I said shyly

“Oh come on, you can do better than that, give me a hug!” CC said

He came over to me and squeezed me and I let out a blood curdling scream.

“I’m so sorry! I forgot!” CC said

Jake looked at me horrified as I took in a few deep breaths.

“What’s wrong Mesly?” He asked

“Nothing, I’m fine.” I said through my teeth

“You just screamed out in pain, tell me what’s wrong.” Jake said

“No, really, I’m fine.” I said

“Lift up your shirt.” Jake said

All the guys looked at him, with confused faces.

“What?!” They all said

“Just lift it up.” Jake said

I looked at him horrified.

“I’m not going to do that.” I said

Jake wouldn’t take no for an answer and then came over to me and ripped off my shirt.

Everyone gasped.

“Jake what the hell?!” Andy yelled

I covered myself and then turned around to see Andy standing by this other guy.

“Andy it’s not what it looks like.” Jake said

“Really, then could you care to explain why you just took Mesly’s shirt off?” Andy asked

“Well… CC kind of hugged her, and she screamed really, really loud and so I told her to take off her shirt so I could see what was wrong… and then you walked in.” Jake said

“Still you have no right to take her clothes off!’ Andy yelled

He was about to step forward to probably hit him, but then I put my hands on Andy’s chest.

His friend’s eyes widen and then tried to look away.

I looked down and then remembered that I was currently topless and then Andy wrapped his arms around me.

“We will talk about this later.” He said to Jake

“Matt, sit tight I’ll be back downstairs in a minute after I help Mesly.” Andy said

He nodded and then walked into the kitchen without saying a word.

As Andy pulled me upstairs he didn’t say a word to me because he was probably still pissed.

“Andy, don’t be mad at Jake-“ I said

“Don’t be mad at Jake?! Are you freaking kidding me?!” He asked

“Andy he was just trying to help.” I said

“Oh yeah help you get undressed, seriously are you like not thinking straight these days?!” He yelled

“Stop yelling at me!” I said

He closed his eyes and then pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I’m sorry Mesly, it’s just that really made me upset, and I only want what’s best for you.” Andy said

“It’s okay Andy.” I said

“Can I have a hug please?” He asked

I laughed and then went over to him and wrapped my arms around him.

“Better?” I asked

He nodded.

“Much.” Andy said

“Now… I was going to ask you what am I going to wear?” I asked

He laughed.

“We just had a fight about you being naked downstairs and you just asked for your clothes?” He asked

I smiled and nodded.

“You are so bizarre, but I love you.”Andy said

“I love you too, my bestie.” I said
