Fairy Tale
Chapter 26
Jamia’s POV
When it happened, I was in shock. When Frank and I were dating, I had accepted his opinion, at the time, it was only a opinion, that he was attracted to men, I had never actually seen Frank with a guy before, but here he was. He was kissing Gerard whose ex girlfriend was standing next to me. They knew we were there. Frank had smiled at me before the house lights dimmed.
Josh had accompanied us to that very show, to see what his family had been paying for, for so many months. Throughout the whole show, he made it clear how lame he thought the whole thing was, and how gay our boyfriends were.
“I’m going to go get some nachos and a drink, want to come josh?” Lyn-z hinted with a hopeful grin.
“nah, just bring me a soda,” he tossed her his wallet.
Her hopefulness faded almost immediately, “o- ok sure,” She nodded as she turned around
trying to hide her disappointment .
“Asshole,” I muttered as she walked away. I turned around to fallow lyn, but joshes voice stopped me for a moment.
“You guys dated them?” he shouted into my ear over the sound of the booming amps. “They’re just a bunch of pansies,” Josh added with a groan, and in response I gave nothing but a glare.
“Instead of wining at me about our exes, why don’t you go help your girl out a little? M> She just went to get her own food in the middle of a concert, really? Like, what the fuck man? She’s 8 months pregnant, with your baby,” I emphasized the word ‘your’ as I poked his chest.
“So?” Josh raised his eyebrow with his hands in his pocket.
“So?” Dude, she’s carrying your child!” His lack of concern infuriated me, “What have you done to make that an ounce easier? You say you love her? What have you done to show that in the slightest way?”
“I’ve bought her everything she asks for! She knows I’m crazy about her!” josh thought his argument was a winning deal.
“I don’t mean like that! How many doctors’ appointments have you taken her to? None? Cause I’m pretty sure I’ve covered them all. How often do you talk about names with her? Take her to look at tuff for the baby? Helped paint the nursery? Put the crib together? Because my family did all of that. And I didn’t see your face except for the picture on your Id in the wallet. When you say you love her, I call bullshit, because your affection means nothing compared to mine. Because it’s obviously limited to the number of bills in your pocket, and if you ask me that’s pretty limited, I’d rather her be pregnant with his kid,” I pointed to Gerard on stage, “than yours any day,” I turned to leave as the volume level of the crowd escalated.
“Why? Because he’s a fag just like your lover boy?” Josh asked.
I turned around to see Gerard pushing Frank back hands in his hair, their mouths connected. I was in shock, before I could stare of too long I broke my gaze and went to go find Lyn. I knew she still loved Gerard, and her biggest fear was losing him to a guy.
Even though she lost him herself with her own dumb decisions, she still would have felt he left her for him, eight months later, “What’s going on?” Lyn-z asked sp innocently as I put my hands on her shoulders, she tried to look around me.
“Nothing, they just finished skylines and turnstiles, nothing new. The crowd just really likes it.”
“They’ve never reacted like that before,” Lyn-z pushed by again but this time she succeeded, she saw the guys kissing and the smile on her face faded, her food hit the floor, and she left the auditorium.
She turned around and walked quickly out of the house as I followed her. She leaned against the wall trying to keep from blubbering as she cried. She took in deep breaths trying to calm herself down, the tears rolled down her cheeks quickly but silently.
“Lyn, don’t cry it’s ok,” I tried for a smile, “We don’t need them right? It’s you and I against the world.”
“I’m not some child! I don’t need you by my side for everything I’m doing! Jamia, I’m having a child, I’m not one.” Her words hurt as she yelled at me.
Josh walked by me and put his arm around her shoulder.
“Fine!” I shouted, “you don’t need me?! Go have your fun, live in some fairy tale! You have to wake up eventually! When you do, I won’t be there!” I shouted as she only glanced back at me, “he won’t buy you everything forever! Come back when you realize you need a friend to lean on, the dollar bills aren’t that strong!” I had expected her to turn around and accept my hug from earlier, but instead she closed the door of the sports car behind her.
