THE BREAK UP

"it's a lie,a joke,this has to be some kind of prank,she kept on saying,"he can't do this to me,he said he loves me!"....Alex said as she broke down in tears.

          "Lexy calm down,am sure it's not what you think" .....her best friend Stella said trying to comfort her.

Alex was an average kind of girl,the kind you'd a geek and a nerd,of course that made her social life down to zero,she only had that one friend,close to a sister,as she was an only child, Stella her best friend was the closest thing she had to a sibling...She also had this one guy as a boyfriend,she often wondered how she got to date the hottest guy in school....luck was the only reason she could come up with it.....but now it seems she ran out of luck ...

"What do you mean it's not what I think huh....Stella!,he said it's done!it's O.V.E.R,....it's over between us, don't you understand!Jason said so himself!!

Ella out of things to do to calm her friend ,she hated seeing her bestie pacing all around the room with that look on her face.....

"Look listen to me...Stella said sitting Alex on the bed,..."if he said he's really done with you, just let it go ok?....you are beautiful, smart and you are worth so much,and if that punk Jason doesn't see that...he might as well go to hell for all I care.... that's his loss ok?, you shouldn't force a man or anybody for that matter to see your worth,you shouldn't beg them to treat you better...cos you don't force a fool to be wise"... Stella said with a smile and in the most comforting way she could think of to help her friend feel better...

"Ohh Stella,am sorry for yelling,it's just that ....he was my first and I loved him so much and he is with another girl already,the very second he broke up with me"...Alex said trying not to break down again.

"Maybe he's being cheating with her the whole time you guys were still a thing...you know?

"But....we dated for two years! Stella two good years and he's replaced me already,he said not to bug him anymore cause he already found "THE ONE"... Alex said giving an air quote...

"Hey hey ,am tired ok?,let's quit this talk about losers...Jason this, Jason that..give it a rest,let's have fun or something.....Stella said smiling at Alex...

" C'mon what do you say....Stella said poking Alex's belly with her fingers....

"Hahahaha,Stella come of it ok?....she said letting out a little laugh...

"And besides I really want to stay in bed, allow me be sad just this once ok?..... just a Lil while.....she said cupping her face in her hands..

"What!What do you mean sad!,I should allow just lye here to sulk huh...after all that sermon you made me give you...Stella said hitting her head with her hand in disappointment...

"You know psychology says grieving helps your brain adjust to reality, avoiding it only cause a relapse of pain, loneliness, guilt,anger...ohh and even...Alex was interrupted by Stella.

"Hey hey fine fine, just.... pls stop ok?, you're making my ears hurt....Stella said covering her ears with her palms..

"And besides it Saturday I don't need any knowledge....she said irritatedly...

" Alex smiles"

"I can see you are already getting back to your normal self, seeing you've got the extra energy to go all..... sciencey on me".....Stella said giving a puking expression...

"Hahaha c'mon Don't make me laugh,am grieving... remember? And there's no such word as ....what did you call it....Sciencey"... Alex said letting out a hard laugh.

"Now that's the kind of knowledge I don't want to hear" ..... Stella said walking away

"Fine grieve all you want,no matter how much I hate that fool.... we're in this together ok....so let's get ice cream and spread wet issues all over your bed"...Stella said swinging her hands in the air with some sort of excitement.

"That's why you're the best"...Alex said hugging her.

"I know"...Stella said rolling her eyes and pushing her away.

"You bloody cocky brat.".Alex said hitting stella's head with her palm.

"Jeez fine I love you too. .. whatever,ouch that hurt you know"... Stella said rubbing the part of her head Alex hit.

"It was supposed to dummy"....Alex replied

"Fine whatever but am not the one cleaning up those wet tissues.... just so you know"...stella said running away from Alex.

"Come back here ....am gonna kill you for that!"....Alex screamed.

And before you know the two girls were running around the room like seven year olds again.

"Hey hey wait a minute"...Alex said gasping for air .

"What about the ice cream....Alex said pouting her lips.

"Tsk .....so you can't cry about a boy without having ice cream huh.... mtcheew... Stella hissed,"let me order"..

"Yay!...ok, ermm I want strawberry,and vanilla,a double scoop with sprinkles and all as the toppings"..... Alex said jamming her hands together in excitement.

"And am supposed to be the one to pay for all that right...tsk tsk tsk,I should have never talked about ice cream to you,but I'll just let this slide just this one time,cause I don't want to kill you....at least not today...Stella said as she dialed a number.

"You're crazy !"...Alex said..... hurry up and order already!"....Alex said she she was getting impatient.

And After Stella ordered they kept on running and jumping on the bed like kids again...

Meanwhile at the front door:...."ding dong"

"Ohh I'll get it .... that must be the delivery guy"...Stella Said as she rushed to the front door.

"Ice cream and pizza delivery here ma'am"....said the delivery guy... please do sign here and here ...he said pointing to the area as he handed her a pen....

"...and done,thanks for the trouble" she said with a smile as she took the delivery from his hands shut the door...

On her way to the stairs, Mrs James stopped her .... Alex's mom.

"Hey Stella,hope she is good now?"...she asked as she was worried like any mother who cared about their child would be ....

"Yes Mrs James, she's fine, trust me ....I know how to fix her anytime... Stella said with a smile as she reached for the stairs again.

"Oh good Lord, Stella how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me Mrs James and just call me.... Mom.....I really want to be a mother figure to you...as you don't have a ...she couldn't complete the painful words she was about to say .

Stella lost her mom to cancer of the lungs while she was just 5 years old and that was a painful memory for her,she grew up feeling alone, as her father was a drunk and never had any time for her.....

"It's fine,I get it ..... Mom"..Stella said with a smile,cause she didn't want Mrs James thinking she did something wrong mentioning her mother.... though it wasn't her favorite topic to talk about,she didn't want Mrs James feeling bad.

"Ahh very much better and besides Mrs James makes me feel old"...she said joking trying to ease the air of the awkward tension she caused earlier.

"Hahaha ok .... MOM,can I get Alex her ice cream before it melts here" ..she said sarcastically.

"Sure sweetheart"..... Mrs James replied.

Stella smiled as she headed back to the stairs.

"And Ohhh and make sure she doesn't get any brain freeze ok?,and if she does come get some medicine over here! it's in the second cabinet in the kitchen!! ok?".....Mrs James yelled to Stella who was still running up the stairs.

"Yes Mrs James!!....I mean... Mom!"....Stella yelled back as she was almost at Alex's door.

"Crazy kid"Mrs James smiled as she went back to do whatever it was she was doing.....

"Jeez your mom is such a worry type".... Stella said to Alex as she shut the door with her foot,as her hands occupied with the pizza and ice cream

"I feel bad,I kept her worried...Alex said with a down look .

"Hey hey hey,quit looking like a downer and help me over here ....no sad faces you'll melt the ice cream and make the pizza go sour"... Stella said trying to lighten up her mood.

Alex smiled taking the pizza out her hands....I didn't know you ordered pizza too....she said putting the pizza boxes on the bed .

" Yh I just wanted to ....and besides what's a sleep over without pizza".. Stella said reaching for the music player without looking at her...

"Huh a sleepover?....wait....you are sleeping over! ....WOW!"

"Have you talked to your dad about it though".... Alex asked concerned..

"Hey chill,old man doesn't even notice or care if am gone and besides I'll make a call,he can't have a problem with that,he doesn't even care if I spend the night at a club,so don't worry.....Stella said with a fake smile trying to hide her irritation.

"Hey c'mon stop it he's still your dad you know...Alex said.

"Yh yh I know...hey!am the one supposed to be making you feel better not the other way around...so quit it..Stella said as she poked Alex's forehead.

"Hey!... Alex said slapping Stella's hand off her forehead.

"Crazy girl and besides You know I , can't leave you tonight.. who knows if you're gonna jump off the window or something"..She said with a chuckle

"You'll need someone to push you down" . .stella said letting out the laughter she had been trying to hide.

" You crazy witch".... Alex said laughing as well.

Just then their favorite song came on and the girls went on screaming with excitement...

"Damn this song gets me every time".... Alex said as both of them fell on the bed letting out a deep sigh.

"Hey stupid face.....I got you ok?....Stella said ruffling Alex's hair.

"Hey don't call me that!"

"And What you gonna do about it..... STUPID FACE"... Stella said still teasing her.

"Stop it .....Alex said laughing as Stella was already tickling her tommy... and she couldn't help but laugh even harder..

The girls did their thing and Alex felt a lil better.... All thanks to her bestie
