Friends and Alibis

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

"Pretty please!"

"What are you? Five? No!"

"Come on, May!"

"Hell to the No!"

"Please? For us?" Oh no, not the puppy dog eyes.

"Matt, no. I'm not going to do that."

"Do it for yourself?"

"How would it benefit me in any way?"

"You'd get Zack."

"Correction: He'd hate me if he ever found out."

"He could never hate you. And you'd be so much better for him than Amelia."

"Correction: Anyone would be better than Amelia."

"Doesn't matter right now. Please!"

"Matt, I swear to god! Lay. Off."

"No!"

"Matt!"

"No, listen! I know it's much to ask for and you're way to nice and honest to do something like that but I caught Amelia cheating on him for the fifth fucking time alone this year and I don't even want to know how many times she didn't get caught by any of us! Zack doesn't deserve that and you know it, so if he doesn't see it himself we'll need to get you two back together, or at least try and somehow split them up!" Matt yelled.

We had been arguing for over half an hour now and there seemed to be no end in sight. He had caught Amelia cheating on Zack, again, and he was furious. All the guys were but they had set Matt up to convince me while the rest of them sat on the couch, watching us yelling at each other's faces.

They had decided, without me, that I would break them up and that I'd either get back together with Zack or at least make Amelia extremely jealous so Zack couldn't bear her anymore. I on the other hand wasn't much of a fan of that plan. Who was I to break them up? I mean, yeah it's shitty that she'd cheated on him but I wasn't in a place to break them up. And that's what I had tried to tell Matt for half an hour and he wouldn't stop.

"I know it's shitty, but he would've split up with her already if she didn't make him happy! Who knows why she did it!" I yelled back, causing Matt to groan and plop down on the couch beside Brian.

“Why the hell are you taking her side?” He screamed at me.
“I’m not taking anyone’s side! I’m just saying it how it is!”

“You’re getting the permission to pinch someone’s boyfriend and be a bitch and you’re declining...” He muttered and shook his head in disbelief.

“Your permission, not Amelia’s. And who said I would even want to act like that? It’s one of the last things I’d ever do because it’s just not me!” I yelled at him.

“Did you even get what I told you? She fucking cheated on him for god knows how many times and you as one of Zack’s oldest friends should help dispose of this waste that’s dragging him down!”

“Shut the fuck up, Matt!” I yelled back, causing them to gasp. I never swore around anyone, except in my head. So now they knew that I was being serious.

The whole yelling had got to me. I couldn’t believe they’d ask me to do something like that. Sure, I didn’t like Amelia and I wanted to get back together with Zack, but not under these circumstances. I wasn’t someone to be mean towards others, never was. In fact, I was often way too nice to people who didn’t even deserve my acknowledgement. But that was just me.

Also, I could never compare to Amelia. She was blond, tall, skinny, everything a guy was looking for. I, on the other hand, wasn’t. Auburn hair, freckles, just the complete opposite of a girl like Amelia and definitely not something a guy would go for.

“And what would you even want me to do? Seduce him or something? Are you nuts? ” I questioned, still in disbelief.

“He’s still head over heels for you, he’s just hiding it. So you wouldn’t have to do a lot.” Brian answered for him.

“Can I just say that he wouldn’t be engaged right now if he still was?”

“May, he is. Can you please just say that you’ll do it?”

“No. Guys, I’m sorry but you’ll have to find someone else to do it.” I didn’t want to get my hopes up in getting back together with him because it just wasn’t happening.

“We all know you still like him, too. So I guess it’s just a matter of time, right guys?” Jimmy said and everyone nodded while I just glared at them.

“It’s not happening. Get over it.” I told them, standing up and walking out of the house without as much as a goodbye. To say I was pissed would’ve been an understatement. I slammed the door shut and stomped to my car, ready to get away from them.

The whole drive back to my apartment my thoughts kept going back to our argument. And that certainly didn’t help in calming me down. When I got home I slammed the door shut, too, and went straight to bed without taking any of my clothes off.

The last thing on my mind before I drifted off to sleep was that definitely none of the guys would hear from me for a while.
