after the break up

"nessa, you need to eat," I murmured quietly, "and I'll be there in a minute," she replied as she dashed to the restroom.

"Is she okay?" Bryce said, knowing of her illnesses. "I'll check on her," Addison replied as she walked behind her.

I entered the restroom to see Nessa crying, "omg what's wrong?" I asked as I approached her and held her. She then described everything about her sickness, problems, and so on; there was a lot I didn't know. She scrubbed her face and drew away, "do u have something to conceal the-" she murmured, and I took the makeup from my purse, covered her puffy eyes, and walked out.

"hey ness, what's wrong?" Josh asked, clearly concerned because he genuinely loved her."I'm fine, I just forgot to take my umm pills," she explained. We sat in our usual spots and resumed our conversation; I could sense Nessa and Josh were whispering something, but I didn't listen in.

"Uk, you don't have to lie to me, Nessa." As I sat down, Josh whispered to me, "Why do you care?" I questioned. "because I told ur mum that I would take care of you," he replied, "so if you didn't promise to her, you wouldn't care" "no, I wouldn't, you're my best friend," he responds to my inquiry, "yeah," I sneered. "Please, Nessa," he said, placing his hand on my thigh."I'm good, Josh, I told Addison about it, u don't need to take care of me, I'm not a baby, and we're not dating, so u don't have to," I replied, removing his hand.

"Guys, we have to go," Michel remarked, "but we can't all go together." I knew what he meant, Jaden remarked, glancing at Josh.

"um u guys go, we'll come after that," Addison replied, "can we all meet in sway?" Bryce looked at Addison, "uhh I don't believe we can, we have a meeting at 11" I lied,

"Come on, we have more space, you can do it there." Bryce said, this person is incredibly annoying sometimes I looked up at Addison, who hugged him and said, "sorry Bryce, but we really can't join."

"Let's go!" Michel said after paying the bills; Josh stared at me as if he wanted to tell me something, but I ignored him; I said good-bye to the guys and wished Bryce a happy birthday once more.
