Those Three Chapter 3

Alana had gone over to Lacy’s house after school just as planned. Alana had important things to discuss with Lacy. She was having some problems too just as Lacy was. Alana was now going to be 17 soon. Still 16 barely as her birthday was at the end of November. She and Max had been dating for a while now and love each other a lot. Max recently got a part time job but still finds time to spend with Alana. On the other hand, Alana began to show an interest in some art and began painting before but recently gotten more into it. There was a girl that Craig’s younger sister, Sabrina, who she was friend, ‘Doreen’ was her name. Doreen liked painting and ever since Alana got interested in art, Doreen also became a friend of her. Doreen liked art too. But Alana’s felt like she could go to Lacy for anything as Lacy could go to her. They understood each other and always helped each other out during problems.

“What did you wanted to talk to me about?” Lacy asked her friend. She sat down on her bed after she sat her backpack down on the floor. Alana sat her bag down and sits on a chair that was in the bedroom.

“It’s about… Well…” Alana wasn’t sure how she was going to tell Lacy. She was nervous.

“Alana, you can tell me anything. I will try to help you out the best way I can. You did have a problem, didn’t you?” Lacy asked. Alana nods slowly. She was looking down now. She uses her hands to clench her skirt. Lacy could tell that Alana seemed to be very nervous. “Take your time, you don’t have to rush in telling me. If you want, I can go first with my problem.”

“Y-Yes… Go ahead. Tell yours…” Alana looked back at Lacy. She felt like she wasn’t sure if she was ready to tell Lacy her problem yet.

“Well…” Lacy looked down and then back up at Alana. “My problem is… Ronnie. I have been worried about him. Robert tells me not to worry, and I haven’t spoken to Ronnie in a while. I feel weird. I thought he was my best friend…”

“Ronnie? I remember you going to me before about him suddenly not speaking to you or Robert anymore when Robert got an apartment.” Alana started to remember. “He still hasn’t spoken to you?”

“I gave him space and just left him alone. I didn’t bug him but then… I saw him going into an apartment across from Robert’s. He was going in there with some girl or woman… She looks young though… And I am not sure if he’s dating her or not, but I had a chance to speak to him. But he seemed angry. Angry at me and I feel like he’s still mad that I chose Robert. He told me before to go with Robert that he has given me up. I thought things were going to be fine. I thought we were going to be friends. But… slowly… slowly he stopped hanging with us and then eventually when Robert got an apartment… He stopped speaking to us after that. I feel like I lost someone close to me!” Lacy started to cry.

“Lacy…”

“I know it’s wrong! I do and I know I am a stupid selfish idiot! Robert will hate me for this! And I feel like just some stupid slut again!”

“Lacy! Stop! Don’t think that way! First of all, you didn’t do anything with him. Did you?” Alana asked. Lacy shook her head.

“No. I didn’t. I just talked to him. But… I still care for him and seeing him with that girl made me feel a little odd but… I am not angry or anything. Just felt a little weird…”

“If you didn’t do anything with him, then you’re not that word. You don’t love Ronnie the most remember? Robert is the one you love the most.”

“That is true, Alana. But… I feel like… I don’t know…”

“Lacy, you care for him because you said he was a best friend of yours? Well… I guess it’s understandable. But… you’re happy with Robert, right? If you are, then Ronnie could be happy with his new girlfriend. If he does have one that is. And Ronnie being angry with you… I am sorry to say this, but things happen. Even if you probably apologize, I don’t know if it will help.” Alana wasn’t sure what to say for Lacy’s problem.

“I can try to apologize but he won’t accept it.” Lacy tells her. “Ronnie seems like he’s really angry. I guess I can’t do much. I am with Robert. The day I decided to date him and chose him was the day I should’ve knew… Should’ve knew that I can only be with one and probably not close anymore to the other. I knew that deep inside and it hurts you know?” Lacy sounded like she was going to cry some more. “Robert is good to me! He really is a great boyfriend. I love him so! I just feel bad for what had happened… I regret ever having a sexual relationship with any of the brothers before I just dated one! It probably wouldn’t be this bad!”

“No one can change the past. Things happen. Sometimes things happen for a reason and we don’t know why.” Lacy dries her tears as Alana spoke to her.

“Alana, can you tell me your problem? I would like to help you out.”

“I don’t know how I should put it…” Alana looked down. She felt nervous about her problem. She felt like it was something she didn’t know how to tell actually.

“You needed some help, so you can let me help you.” Lacy reassures her. Alana took a deep breath.

“Max and I… we both decided on not having a… well… a relationship where we uh… do that… You know? Until we marry. I know we can’t well… Stop what had happened in the past… But well…” Alana blushed.

“What? You want to do that with him, and you feel like you aren’t sure how he would react?” Lacy asked. Alana shook her head.

“N-No! That’s not even it!”

“Then what could it be?” Lacy asks.

“It’s something more… More…”

“What? You want to break up with him?” Lacy asked.

“No! I don’t want to! It’s not that!”

“Alana, just tell me what it is.”

“It’s…” Alana took a deep breath. “Him and I… We went on a date not too far long ago. And on our date, he kept telling me nice things. I liked the compliments he kept telling me and I complimented him a lot. We both went to my home. We were originally just going to talk and watch a little TV in my bedroom. But things… Things got a little…”

“You two had sex?” Lacy asked.

“It started out as a few harmless kisses. Then he just pushed me on my bed and I couldn’t stop! Next thing I knew, I woke up next to him in bed with no clothes on!”

“Are you freaking out about a onetime thing?” Lacy asks.

“No! It kept happening! That morning we just started doing that! It was wrong! The whole day we went on and off doing it! When we wasn’t doing it, we just slept! Good thing it was the weekend but still!”

“Maybe you two wanted each other so bad and that was the result from holding back all this time.” Lacy said wanting to laugh but hold it in.

“Lacy! This is serious!” Alana wasn’t kidding around with Lacy.

“Woah, what’s wrong?” Lacy asks her.

“Because! After that! The whole week was a mess! We started sending dirty texts together like we couldn’t stop! And he kept coming over my house after school almost every day!”

“And that’s a problem? Hell, I would love to go every night over Robert’s apartment. I go at least three days a week but still…”

“That’s not the point! He still has this going on with me!” Alana opened her purse and pulls out her phone to show Lacy the latest text from Max. She showed Lacy the message when she showed her the phone.

Max’s Text: Hey sweetheart, all day in school I just kept thinking about you. You know how daddy likes your boobs. You going to let daddy come over tonight to play with them? Daddy also wants to give his sweetheart a little present. You’ll love it. You’ll get so wet.

Lacy stared at the screen and the text. “Wow. That text is really… perverted.” Lacy wanted to laugh but held it in. Max sent another text as Alana didn’t even reply to him. Lacy stared at it.

Max’s Text: Come on, baby. Don’t ignore me. Don’t you miss me? Haven’t you been thinking about my cock? Come on, sweetheart. I am so hard thinking about you.

“I am jealous. Robert doesn’t send me texts like that.” Lacy said and Alana took her phone back and sent a text to Max and shoved it back into her purse. “So, Max has been bothering you? You feel sore and don’t want it?”

“That’s not really everything…” Alana looks down.

“There’s more? What you don’t think he’s not giving it to you the way you want? You can tell me about that… Robert last night wasn’t even really doing it much with feeling. He only went a quick round and then went to sleep. It didn’t even last an hour. It was the worst I ever experienced from him. The night before that he was more better.”

“That’s not it!” Alana wasn’t sure how to put the words together that she wanted to tell Lacy. She took a few minutes to think. She sat there not saying anything for two minutes. She took a deep breath. “Alright, I am going to tell you. You promise not to tell anyone?”

“I won’t.” Lacy promised.

“Don’t even tell Max!”

“I promise I won’t. What is it?”

Tj had took Ronnie over his home and they were hanging out in his bedroom. Watching TV. Tj didn’t have work that day.

“Tomorrow I have a date.” Tj tells Ronnie.

“Who is the chick this time?”

“Who cares what her name is. She’s got a hot body.” Tj laughed.

“You know what’s weird? Some girl that dated my brother once talked to me. She moved away two years ago but she seems to be back in town again. This time she lives across from my brother.”

“Really?” Tj asks.

“Yeah, ‘Stephanie’. She is a strange girl. I don’t know her really.”

“Why don’t you date her?” Tj asked and started to smoke a cigarette.

“I don’t know about that. I am not interested in dating.”

“So, you go with girls and do what the fuck I do. Do them and leave them. Date her. See if Robert feels funny that you’re with her. But I don’t know if he would. I mean he is so in love with Lacy.”

“You know, I never thought of it, but Lacy acted funny about me with that girl. You think I can just date that girl to torment Lacy?”

“Now Ronnie, are you trying to ruin your brother’s relationship with Lacy? Why didn’t you just do this sooner?”

“I don’t know. I should’ve. I think let Robert think he’s having it good. And just play around you know. Fuck with them all a bit. See how they like it. Express some things to Lacy. Get her to get confused about her damn feelings all over again. Screw her and make Robert break up with her. You know, toy with her a bit.”

“Damn Ronnie. You’ve became really cold lately.” Tj said. Ronnie chuckled a little.

“That’s what happens when you hate love.” Ronnie responds.

Lacy was staring at Alana. She couldn’t believe what she told her. She wasn’t even sure if she heard her correctly.

“Y-You’re…You’re really?! Are you really?!”

“I… I am… I got a positive test. Then I spoke to my step-mom about it. She took me to the doctors and confirmed everything.”  Lacy couldn’t believe it.
