In Love With My Brother’s Best Friend – Episode 16
Chapter 16

We both stood still and stared deep at each other.
His forehead against mine.
“Zac what are you doing here?.”
He ignored my question.
“Why do you want to run away to China or Korea?”
He pinched my nose. I pouted.
“I-i was just saying.” I shrugged.
“Don’t ever think, okay.” He ordered.
And I nodded.
“I wanted to see and I couldn’t wait to kiss you, I missed this lips.”
His thumb trailed on my lips. And I shuddered.
And silence took in. “Zac,” I called, my arms wrapped around his waist my head on his chest.
“Hm?.”
I have been thinking a lot these past few days.
What is my relationship with Zac are we kissing buddies, hugging buddies or?…
Sigh! I just want him to tell me what are we?
“Zac, you and I, what are we huh?.”
He kept silent and I bit my lower lip. I should not expect much from him.
“Alexa.”
“Meet me at the lake behind your house.” He ruffled my hair.
I nodded, ” Okay.” I pecked his cheek.
And ran off to class.
But before I could run further I heard two familiar voices yelling at each other.
Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
I bet you don’t kiss her with your eyes closed
I bet you’re still walking on a tightrope
Miss me so much, you’ve been goin’ psycho
You ain’t gotta say it, baby, I know (I know, I know, I know)
It’s a thin line between all this love and hate
And if you switch sides, you’re gon’ have to claim your place
So baby, this time you’re gon’ have to seal your fate
Yeah baby, this time you’re gon’ have to seal your fate
And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
Hate me, hate me, tell me how you hate me
Tell me how I’m trash and you could easily replace me Tell me that I’m strung out, wasted on the daily
Prolly ’cause there’s no one around me numbin’ all my pain
Prolly ’cause there’s no umbrella to shield me from all the rain
Probably because you’re the one playin’ the mind games
You hate me because I don’t let you play no mind games
They give me migraines and damage my brain
Date me, break me, easily replace me Hopefully you see it clear, hopefully it’s HD
Bet you wonder why the last few months I’ve been spacey In your head, I sing
And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
It’s a thin line between all this love and hate (okay)
And if you switch sides, you’re gon’ have to claim your place (okay)
So baby, this time you’re gon’ have to seal your fate (okay)
Yeah baby, this time you’re gon’ have to seal your fate
And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me
Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me
Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me
Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
“Shut up! Just shut up! Who do you think you’re huh? First, you fuck Dain then you want me back.” I gasped.
That sounds like Justin.
“It was just a Game,” Ria said.
“Look, Ria whatever we had it’s over.”
“You can’t tell me that, look I want you back, we always do this, break and makeup.”
“Can you hear yourself, first you broke up with me and now you chase me, you’re just a horny bitch who wants to get laid.” Justine fired.
These two have been messing around behind our backs and in front of us, they are different people.
“Yeah right, but because you’re a psycho you will take me in, Justin listen I was young and I didn’t know what I was doing but now, I need you.”
“Look I’m not interested, my mind is set on someone else and I want to make her mine.”
“And do you think she will see you.” Ria laughed with mockery.
“She has someone who is one million better than you, he’s s handsomely perfect and what makes you think she will want you, keep on dreaming, I’m offering myself to you and you’re acting holly, psycho!.” Ria yelled.
“Yes, I’m fucked up! I am a psycho! I’m very dangerous! What are you going to do about that, are you going to yell it out on top of the roof: Hey! Listen Justin is a psycho, Ria you’re not better than me, you’re just a coward you can’t get him and you want to make yourself feel better by picking up at me! You’re such a bitch I don’t know how I got entangled with you.”
I was shocked at this discovery, gosh! He is a psycho but he doesn’t look like one, he looks normal like us he plays around.
I’m shocked, how will I face them now.
I’m even late to go to class, I need time to breathe and think. Justin is a funny person with a lively personality.
I can’t think clearly, I ran out of school.
I need to see Zac.
I caught a cab. In a few minutes, I rushed inside the house.
“Ricky, where is Zac.” He glared at me as if I grew two heads.
“He left a while ago.” He said.
“Oh.” Ye the lake.
I ran to the back of the house. I spotted him and he saw me too.
“Zac!.” I yelled. And ran to his arms.
“What is it pretty, you’re back and I’m not prep_.’ I cut in.
“Do you know that Justin is a psychopath?.” I stared blankly at him as he goes pale.
“Hey, tell me do you know that?.”
He shook his head.
“That is scary right, I have read more articles about psychopath and sociopath and it’s very scary, I don’t wish to meet one those people are not mentally stable.” I puffed my cheeks.
Thank God he is not one of them.
“It’s what you think about us?.” He said.
“What us?.” I eyed him.
“No! I mean them.” He corrected.
“No, it’s what other people think and say.”
“What about you, what are your thoughts?.”
I was speechless.
“It doesn’t matter, okay.” I packed his lips.
But he looked away. Did I say something wrong?
“Look, forget about whatever I said, I was just shocked and Ri… Ah forget it.”
“This can’t work, I wanted to say that, I’m not good at dating I have never dated anyone, I wanted to give our relationship a name but, it Can’t work, me you we can’t work.” Zac ran his fingers through his hair.
Wait just said that. I broke into smiles but immediately something knocked in my head
‘We can’t work’
“Zac, why do you say that we will work.” I palmed his face but he moved away as if I’m contagious.
It pricked my heart hurt. Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Let’s end it here, the kisses we shared and the hugs we have, end here.”
His words hit me hard. He walked away and I stood there like a statue. He left just like that.
Tears streamed down my cheeks.
