Chapter Text
I woke up with a raging headache. I barely even recognized where I was. It had to be Miguel's apartment.
"Here Miguel told me to give you this," Of course Hawk was here since he and Miguel are roommates.
I was happy to drink anything that will get rid of this hangover.
"So you went from kissing other people's boyfriends to other people's girlfriends?"
How the hell did he know. Did I say something while I was drunk? Maybe Miguel told him? Either way, he has no business talking about my business, "You don't understand it sucks having your best friend dating a crazy person who traumatized you, especially if you have feelings for them."
Hawk smirked at his hangover smoothie. "Miguel is dating Robby trust me I know. He got a couple of months in basically detention for nearly killing one of my best friend and to add insult to injury he's fucking him." Hawk clenched his fist around the glass.
"Shouldn't you be happy Miguel's happy?"
"Look who's talking."
"You have a point but you're not in love with Miguel so you still wouldn't understand." I finished half of the smoothie and sat it on the table.
"I am and I also fucked up too. I may have told Miguel it's fine if he's desperate but if he should have more self-respect than to settle for Robby Keene."
I can just imagine how hurt Miguel was. I always thought Hawk was just protective of Miguel. close. In retrospect, I should've seen the signs of him liking Miguel, they were all there I wonder why he told me. Is it because he thinks Miguel won't take my word over his or something else.
"I believe you would've been a better choice for Miguel." I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Robby was with Miguel. After all the shit they talked about each other I find them having sex in my dad's car two months after me and Miguel broke up. My head hurts wondering if they had sex when Miguel and he went to Mexico.
Eli sat next to me joining in the pity party. "Thanks, I wish Miguel could see it and I wish I had the balls to tell him, instead I have to see him kiss Robby, tell him he loves him and put on my headphones at night so I can't hear them fucking." Hawk gripped the couch like he wanted to break it. "Still Miguel and Aisha are our best friends. We can't fuck up their happiness because we were off chasing someone else who didn't even last instead of saying how we felt when they were single."
I hate the fact that I agree with Eli.
I went to the kitchen to wash out my cup. One of the biggest shell-shocks when I got my first apartment was the dishes and laundry. Usually, when I'm upset dad lets me get a pass on doing them but now I just have to unless I want them to pile up. After that, I went back to the living room.
"Where is she!"
I recognize that voice from anywhere. Here she came inside radiating rage. “So you tried to kiss my girl and immediately ran back to Miguel's place. Are you on a road to break up everyone because you can't fucking move on!"
Immediately Miguel and Robby came rushing in ready to stop a fight.
"Don't worry. I haven't had an unprovoked fight in months thanks to MY girlfriend helping me with my anger and I'm not throwing that away for this bitch."
Miguel put his arm in front of me like he knew I want to hit her.
"Stay the fuck away from Aisha!" Tory stormed out the door slamming it so hard the whole neighborhood could probably hear.
"You okay?" I didn't even know I was crying til Miguel wiped the tears off my cheek. The thought of never seeing Aisha again was like hell.
"Yeah, thanks, Miguel." I hugged him. He's so great cheering me up. I'm glad I was able to stay friends with him.
"Miguel, babe, can I talk to you for a second." Robby ushered for Miguel to follow him out of the room. He clearly wasn't happy despite how he tried to cover it up.
I felt like it was time for me to go. I didn't mean to but I accidentally overheard the argument Miguel and Robby were having. I moved on the couch with Eli who was also trying to hear. I'm pretty sure Eli was listening to make sure Robby don't hurt Miguel. I bet he wants any excuse to assault Robby.
He didnt try to tell but Robby's voice was coated in aggression. “Every time she comes around shit hits the fan. I told you we shouldn't have brought her back here.”
“She's my friend. Where else was I supposed to take her!”
“To her own house. Do you have any idea how much worse that could've gone?’
“Robby I've been paralyzed before. I don't think it would be anything I couldn't handle.”
“Miguel...”
“I didnt mean it like that babe.”
“I know.”
Eli and I pulled away when making out sounds could be heard.
“Fucking asshole.” Hawk sneered.
I was too focused on what Robby had said. “Do you think I bring drama wherever I go?”
“Absolutely I don't know what draws Miguel to keep defending you. Maybe he's just attracted to toxic people.”
I liked him better when he didn't talk. “Then you have a great chance of being with him.”
“At least I wouldn't be sneaking around behind his back.”
I couldn't stand being around him anymore. I grabbed my purse.
“Don't you need a ride?”
“I can walk.”
Hawk stopped me at the door. “Let me give you a ride. Miguel would kill me if I let you go back alone.”
I guess I don't want Miguel wondering if I made it home. “Fine.”
Xxx
Hawk made sure to walk me to the door even though my hangover was better now. “Hey... Look I know how you feel but don't let it be an excuse to hurt someone you're in love with. I wish I could take back what I said to Miguel.”
If this Eli was around more maybe we could've been friends. I leaned over and hugged him.
“Look I gotta go.” He pulled away awkwardly.
I should get inside my roommate is probably worried about me. When I came she was making breakfast. She's so considerate. That and the fact I didnt want to live alone was a major reason to let her live with me.”
“How was your night Sam.”
“Terrible.”
“Can I help you out?”
If she could get Aisha to want me too then yes.
