ROMEO'S POV
I was giving Xander a ride home after school. He was unusually quiet, he was lost in thoughts again.
I wasn't sure what he was thinking about, how I wished I could read minds. I looked at him several times trying to get his attention.
I was about to ask why he was quite when he finally spoke.
"Cassandra wants us to go out this weekend", he said looking outside the car.
"What do you think, should we go?", I asked.
"I don't want to be around her, but it would be good for you", he replied looking at me.
"Are you trying to say I should go with her alone?", I asked confused.
He didn't answer me, why would he even suggest something like that?
"I'd go with you", he said breaking the silence.
"Okay, I'll try asking Lucille. She might want to come with us", I replied.
"What is wrong with you? She has told you to stay away from her countless times. Please just stay away.", he said angrily.
"I can't stay away from her, I love her.."
"Are you even listening to yourself?", he asked interrupting me.
"Why are you so pissed?", I asked angrily.
"Lucille asked you to stay away, so you stay away", he replied.
"Why are you so pissed?", I asked again, clearly irritated.
"I'm sure Lucille has a reason for asking you to stay away from her for a while, you should understand her", he replied.
What he said got me very angry, was he on my side or against me?
"Get out of my car!", I said stopping the car.
"Wait what?", he asked surprised.
"Get the hell out of my car!", I said angrily.
"How am I supposed to go home from here, I'm no where close to my house", he responded angrily.
I stepped out of my car and opened the door to where he was sitting, he looked very surprised and annoyed.
"Get out!", I said again and he stepped down.
I went back inside and drove off.
XANDER'S POV
I searched myself after his car was out of sight, and realized I left my phone and wallet in his car.
I was about to explode out of anger. "No one has ever gotten me this irritated, I mean I don't allowed any one to."
"I care so much about Romeo, he's like the brother I never got to have"
I had no choice than to jog home. I jog for long distance every morning before going to school, so I guess I'd make it home before it gets completely dark.
Scratch all what I said, I was so exhausted. I didn't have water with me, and didn't have cash either.
I stopped countless times to catch my breath. My anger increased every time I stopped.
"Did Romeo actually do this to me? All I was trying to do was make him understand his girlfriend"
A black car stopped right in front of me, for a moment I got really scared. I thought I was about to get kidnapped.
"Are you jogging on purpose or you need a ride?", I heard a female voice say.
I looked closely and it was Lucille, I didn't know she's back to driving. She said she wouldn't drive ever again.
"I desperately need a ride", I said cleaning my sweat off my face.
"You're a life saver, thank you so much", I said while putting on my seatbelt.
"The pleasure is all mine", she replied hilariously.
"Why didn't you ask Romeo for a ride?", she asked.
"Nothing erm.. I did but.. I wanted to"
"It's okay, never mind", she said and I sighed.
"Talking about Romeo, why did you ask him to stay away?", I asked looking at her.
"This should be our little secret, I want to be the one to tell Romeo", she said and I nodded my head.
"My mom gave me two options, either I stay away from Romeo or he gets expelled", she said and I was so shocked.
"Why?", I asked.
"She said ever since Romeo and I became friends, I've changed negatively", she said and chuckled.
"Romeo is hurting", I said after a brief silence.
"So am I, there are days where I want to hug him so tight, but that would mean I have to see him leave", she said.
"I understand", I responded and she smiled.
ROMEO'S POV
I wanted to call Xander and apologize for my actions, but I was too annoyed. I know he's just trying to look out for me, but he not being on my side is so annoying.
"Romeo, dinner is ready", my mom yelled from the kitchen.
I helped her set up the table and we sat to eat.
"Will Xander forgive me? Was I too rude?", I asked myself.
"Romeo, there's someone at the door, check who it is", my mom said.
Who could it be, I opened the door and it was my moms driver.
"Sorry to disturb you sir, I was washing your car and found this in it", he said handing over a phone and a wallet to me.
"Oh no! It belongs to Xander. How did he get home without money and his phone?", i said to myself.
I took them and went to my room. I wanted to go to his house, but it was late. He wouldn't be happy to see me either, we might end up fighting.
"Now it's confirmed, I have annihilated my friendship with Xander", I said out loud and fell on my bed.
I was very reluctant to go to school the next day, I knew for sure Xander would ignore me. Lucille would also ignore me.
The only person who wouldn't is Cassandra, but she's such a headache.
"You're running late Romeo, hurry up", my mom said when she saw how I was walking.
Class was in session when I got to school, I guess I drove the car too slow. I went straight to my seat.
"What made you late?", Xander whispered to me.
I was very surprised, is he that kind hearted? After everything I did yesterday, he still cares.
"Nothing, I drove slowly", I replied before realizing I spoke on a high tone.
"Is there any problem?", the teacher asked.
"No sir, sorry", I responded and he went back to teaching.
Xander looked at me and shook his head, "what's wrong with you?", he asked and we both laughed.
