In The End (An AFI Story), chapter 7
I grinned, but Jade's reassurance didn't take away the uneasiness that I felt. I guess Jade sensed it, too, 'cause he leaned over to me and hugged me tightly.
"It's gonna be okay, Sfet. Don't worry."
I woke up the next morning to see that Jade wasn't in the room. I got up, fixed my hair, and ventured downstairs to see if he was there. He wasn't. But my parents were.
"Where's Jade?" I asked them. They had a look of disgust.
"Jade left," my mother said. She was shaking with anger.
"Why? What did you do to him?" I said. I was so mad. I kow that they said something to him and Jade got pissed off and left. I know it. He wouldn't just leave-and not tell me.
"We just told him about your boyfriend." Now my mom was smiling.
"What boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend!" I screamed. I can't believe that they told him I had a boyfriend!
"Well, then, who's Davey?" my dad asked.
"DAVEY IS MY FRIEND YOU FUCKTARDS!" I screamed at them.
I ran upstairs, quickly changed into clothes, brushed my teeth, and ran out the door, slamming it behind me. I can't believe it! Jade probably hates me now, 'cause he thinks I'm cheating on him! I don't even like Davey the way I like Jade. Now the band is ruined! I knew this would happen. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I rang Jade's doorbell. I waited and waited. Nobody answered. I was walking back home when Davey ran up to me, breathless.
"Sfetie! I dunno why, but Jade says he hates you and he warned me to never trust a girl. What's going on?" Davey looked upset because he was out of the loop.
"Wait. Before I tell you, where's Jade?"
"Oh, he's at the record dealers. They signed us today! When I got there, he was talking to a couple other people. So what's wrong, why are you crying?" I took a deep breath. "Well, Davey, it's a long story. You promise not to get really mad at me?" I said. I just wanted to make sure. Davey looked concerned.
"Sure. I promise I won't get mad, Sfet."
"Okay. Well, when Jade and I slept over your house, in the middle of the night while you were sleeping, we decided to get together." Davey looked horrified.
"You mean get together, as in... ?" Davey asked. I kinda felt bad for him.
"Yes. So, when he slept over my house, we-"
"OH MY GOD YOU DIDN'T!" Davey yelled. I laughed.
"No, Davey, we didn't. We were talking. So anyway, the next morning, I woke up and Jade wasn't there. So I asked my parents. They said he left after they told him I was with you!" Davey's jaw dropped a little.
"Me?"
"Yes. So now he thinks I'm cheating on him."
"Oh. Well, I understand, now. Well, we need to get to the record dealer. So come on. We'll take my car.
We got to Adeline Records. I walked in with Davey behind me and the first thing I saw was Jade. Talking to a girl. And I saw two other guys. Jade gave me a death glare and kept talking to the girl. I sat down next to one of the two guys. The guy I was sitting next to had dark brown hair and was holding drumsticks. He started talking to us first.
"So, you must be Davey!" he said. Davey smiled.
"Yes, I'm Davey. Was Jade talking about us?" Jade looked over when he heard his name and saw my sad expression. He softened a little, but then his expression hardened and he turned away.
"So, who are you?" Davey asked the guy.
"Oh, I'm Adam. And this is Hunter." Adam pointed to another guy. He was kinda quiet and shy-looking. "And her, over there, she's Jen. She's our singer and guitarist. So what's your name?" Adam asked me.
"I'm Sfetalina. You can call me Sfetie, though." I smiled. Then a lady walked out of the room and called,
"AFI, please come in this room. Is there and AFI here?"
"Oh, that's us. See ya, Dave," Adam said.
I looked over at Jade and Jen. I saw them exchanging pieces of paper. I felt a pang of hurt inside. When Jen left I scooted next to Jade.
"Listen, Jade, I really have to tell you something."
"Sorry, Sfetie, you're too late. I'm sick of your lies."
"Lies? Jade, I'm not with Davey! Do you actually believe my parents?"
"Yes, Sfetie. At least your parents don't lie to each other." And with that, he got up and sat on another chair that was not near me or Davey. I didn't start crying. I had already cried enough. Instead, I got up, stormed towards Davey, grabbed his hand, and kissed him. I don't know why I did. Maybe to shove it in Jade's face, I'm not sure. All I know is that if my goal was to hurt Jade, I sure reached it. Jade's jaw dropped. He got up and left the room. Davey shoved me off him.
"Sfetie, what the hell was that?!?" Davey exclaimed.
"It's gonna be okay, Sfet. Don't worry."
I woke up the next morning to see that Jade wasn't in the room. I got up, fixed my hair, and ventured downstairs to see if he was there. He wasn't. But my parents were.
