Chapter 60 - Help me carry my mate upstairs
"Let''s talk about something else.." De told M. They had exhausted everything from talking about
her mom''s situation and baby making with Andre also the embarrassing scene with Jeanine.
"Okay uhm I quit my job." M said expecting a bacsh from De but she merely just stared at her.
"Why?" De asked, she sort of already knew the answer but she wasn''t sure if that was it.
"Alfredo.." M said in a low tone.
"Did he talk you into this?" De questioned.
"Not at all, I hate that shitty job anyways and would have quit the minute I didn''t need the money
anymore."
"So that means you will depend on Alfredo forever?" De stated, still a bit skeptical but M just
seemed annoyed with this talk.
"He took my virginity without my consent.. I mean it''s the least he could do."
"Wow that''s a bit petty M, considering that was years ago and you''re willingly with this guy and you
ought to be forgiving." De said not regretting anything that she had said. They were in the hospital
cafeteria, drinking coffee. It wasn''t pleasant but it was good enough.
"Just like how you forgave Andre for manhandling you? Who else are you going to forgive next?
Spencer for pping you with his dick? Forgiveness right." Mshes out without thinking about what
she was saying. De was shocked because M had never ever talked to her like that. They always
had a mutual understanding and the fact that M was using everything that she had confided in her
with; against her... really hurt.
When De didn''t say anything as she was still a bit shocked. M continued feeling the need to
defend herself—
"You don''t have to be so judgemental Ad! I don''t have a rich father who kisses my ass all the time. I
don''t have a rich ex-husband who is constantly kissing my whiny ass and begging for your attention, I
certainly don''t have a kid with a millionaire to save my life, I don''t have a rich boyfriend who wanted to
rape me.." M said in the heat of the moment. De was surprised, she clearly wasn''t expecting that
atleast not from her bestfriend. Deposed herself and breathed in before talking. Oddly it hurt,
everything she had said hurt. De found it hard to believe, was she too forgiving? Did she do anything
wrong by being concerned for her friend''s well being?
"I just think you leaving your job after you have been with Alfredo for two minutes isn''t the best
decision. What if he changes?" De said this only with genuine concern. Yes, what if Alfredo suddenly
changed like Spencer. He came into the picture like a saint but only turned out to be the devil. If there
was one thing De prided herself in, that was being independent. After she got divorced with Andre
she learnt the hard way that... Andre convincing her to be a housewife while she focused on her writing
her pretty much a bad idea.
"You know what isn''t the best decision? You fucking your ex-husband and wanting to bring another
fucking baby into your fucked up situations. For fucksake think—"
"You want to preach to me like you''re freaking mother Mary when you''re just as dirty and unholy as I
am. Quit the act Ad!" M said defensively.
"Insult me all you want but I''m only trying to look out for you, M." De replied trying to seem
untouched by the words that had came out of M''s mouth.
"I can''t stand you right now.." M rolled her eyes, taking out hertest iPhone as she swiped on the
screen ignoring De. Thest time they were together, she remembered that M had an iPhone 5.
"So he bought you a new phone?" De said but she already knew the answer.
"No, see that''s where you''re wrong. I actually bought it with my savings." M said sarcastically. Deep
down M knew that she had only contributed $156 and Alfredo had offered to pay the rest.
"Oh.." De replied. It was tense, De was trying not to argue with M but M was just looking for it.
"You know what.. I''m just honestly done." M sighed putting her phone away.
"Done with what?" De asked with a shaky smile.
"Done with all this." She paused. "Firstly I came here to support you regarding your mother but all you
do is judge me. You''re self centered, all we talk about is you and you and you, all the time. The one
time when you should be happy for me.. you aren''t. I don''t even get why we''re friends. We''re better off
without each other because I contribute more into this friendship than you do. I hope your mom, gets
better. Goodbye Ad."
De was hurt.
This was her only friend, someone whom had been there for her for a long time. She didn''t know that
was the way she felt. Before De could fathom anything.. M was already leaving the hospital
cafeteria. She always thought the worst heartbreak was with a man but no the worst heartbreak was
the one that urred between two friends. When you''re convinced every guy wille and go but not
your bestfriend. M was now even more like a sister to her, it would feel weird not being able to text
her a funny joke or ask her toe sleep over or send each other the pictures you took together or
even ask her to join their movie night with Leo. It seems she couldn''t have it all, she met M after
Andre left her now that Andre was back in her life with a purpose, M had left.
"Hey, are you okay? M just came and grabbed Alfredo and left."
De sighed looking up at his concerned blue orbs.

"So I guess we aren''t friends anymore.." De said it as if it was a very funny joke but it hurt so much.
Her chest felt constricted and heavy.
"But why?" Andre said clearly concerned seating opposite her.
"It''s fine." De replied. "We will bothe around.."
Sadly De had no idea that she was already blocked. M was tired of her sob stories. Couldn''t they
just have a good time without De raining on their parade. She always always had bad news and M
couldn''t deal with that anymore. It was as if a dark cloud followed her around and it somehow affected
M as well. M was tired of being a therapist, she tried being a good friend but De''s problems were
just too much and her life was fucked up. M couldn''t take it anymore. I suppose we all have that one
friend with too many problems and is always asking for advise.
"If it makes you feel any better, I love you chérie." Andre said genuinely as he reached out for her hand
and gave her a tight squeeze. "I could call Amber toe cheer you up but you know with her
pregnancy—"
"It''s fine, you''re enough." De replied trying really hard not to seem fazed by this. Andre was enough,
his support was enough. Him being here with her was enough. They had tried really hard to convince
Garreth to go home, he initially gave in and summoned that he would be back in an hour. You would
expect Marc''s husband to have been present but no he wasn''t. Supposedly people deal with
everything in a different manor, some prefer to be really close and others to be really far.

Spencer checked his phone for what seemed like the seventh time. De wasn''t responding to any of
his messages or calls. He even dropped by her apartment but she wasn''t there. He figured ofcourse
she was at the hospital. He didn''t suspect anything to thetter, he thought he had a pretty tight leash
on De but that wasn''t the case.
He had to fetch some paper work from one of Garreth''s bars that Ignacio managed. He was so busy,
aftering from the airport he went straight to see De but she wasn''t there and Garreth gave him
more work. He didn''t mind, he assumed Garreth was giving him a lot of work because it was a very
tricky time for him. With Marc being in ICU. Ignacio and his friend (Abhay) had convinced Spencer to
have to a drink, soon enough it was more than just one drink.
Soon enough he had passed out on the couch in the VIP area.
"Ey.." Ignacio called for one of the bartenders. "Help me carry my mate upstairs, he must have been
super tired."
