I guess you never know, never know, and it's another day, waking up alone
Lamb opens the door with a smug face, “Hey babe.” God kill me. “Hey,” I mumble walking in past him. Dev follows and does that weird bro hug with Lamb.
I’ve always liked Lamb’s house, It’s modern and nicely decorated. Lamb lead us to the living room and opens the mini fridge they have.
He tosses a couple of beers towards us and I open my mine and immediately start chugging it.
Woah slow down there,” Lamb says as he slides in next to me, “Don’t want to get too tipsy, you know how girls are when they’re drunk.”
Dev glares at him, “Shut up.” Lamb rolls his eyes at him, “She doesn’t care.” I keep drinking my beer and ignore both of them.
After we sit and watch tv for awhile, Dev’s phone rings and he goes into the hallway to answer it. His eyes are soft and his mouth is being forced into a straight line.
He’s talking to Niall. I’ve known about their relationship for awhile but I don’t want to pry. Dev hangs up and pokes his head into the room, “I’m leaving, will you be alright Basil?”
I look up and before I can say anything Lamb speaks for me, “She’ll be fine.” I look straight ahead and stare at the infomercial that’s playing on the screen.
Dev hesitantly leaves after I don’t say anything. The door closes, and the movie is back on. Instead of paying attention, my mind wanders off to old memories.
“Everyone is saying we’re dating Basil- and I- well- I need you to tell them it’s not true.” “I have Snow! And I’ve done more than that too! I’ve taken punches for it and all you ever do is cry and say your sorry! But you never do anything about it!”
Lamb’s breathing is loud. He’s trying to scoot closer on the couch to me and I sit perfectly still.
“What am I supposed to do? I’m sorry but you know I...well...you know.” “Know what Snow? That you can’t comprehend that you kiss me? That you’ve made out with me?”
I feel my skin crawl every time Lamb gets closer. It’s different from him holding me, this time he wants something.
“Shut up!” “No! Fuck you for making me deal with this on my own Snow! I get that you’re having a hard time with this but jesus why would you let me get all the shit for it!”
“Basil,” he says aganist my ear, “Let’s go up to my room-“ “We should break up,” I say quietly, looking ahead with a straight face.
“You know that I care about you Baz, I care about you so much.” “Then why can’t you act like it?”
“What?” I get up, and clench my beer firmly as I look straight into his eyes, “I’m breaking up with you, Lamb.” “What? Why?” I glare at him, “Because you’re a fucking dick that’s why.”
