Its almost the weekend and I feel like shit.
Can school come already?
It's no surprise that I wanna be at school because ever since I spoke to Celine I've been in all kinds of moods.
Killing someone was one of them
And that someone would either be Mai or Celine.
Which is one of the reasons why I didn't wanna be home rn
I got up from bed and picked up my phone
Mai: Hello
Claire : Can we talk?
Mai: When?
Claire: Come over?
Mai: Be right there
The initial plan was to talk to her. I've known Mai long enough to talk her out of this "love" she's going in about.
My mom had popped by after my call to Mai to let me know she was going to the mall with John (whatever) and that seemed like a good idea.
It'll give us room to fight if it came to that because trust me when I say I was gonna use any means necessary so she listened to reason.
I felt a little hungry so I went hungry and I went downstairs to make something.
Precisely pork. Yes judge me.
I'm a pork lover
Just as I'm about to eat the doorbell rings.
Mai: Hey
Claire: Hey
Mai: Still "porking in the morning" I see
Claire: You know me....I don't change unlike...
Mai: Please Claire could we not?
Claire: Come...Sit
Mai: Can I have some?
I looked at her for a few seconds
Unbelievable
Here she was sitting in my kitchen as if nothing happened
Claire: Sure
Mai: Thanks I'll get a plate
Claire: Could you help get some fresh juice from the fridge?
Mai: Sure. Did your mom make this?
Claire: My mom? What happened to you calling her Celine
Mai: Ok ok chill you know what I meant?
Claire: Actually no Mai I'm not chill
You got pregnant and didn't tell me
And now you call Celine mom?
What else are you gonna do
Call me sister?
Mai: Ok just let me explain....
Claire: please do that.
Mai: So after the party at Bob's last summer I was walking home...Alone
Claire: Yes I remember that day
I was super drunk and we got into a fight about Welsh was it? The ugly looking red head that looks like his mom had him by fucking an alligator? That party?
Mai: Yes...Claire that party. That Welsh too
Claire: ok go on
Mai: I got mugged that day and John saved me
He got the guys who'd taken my purse and asked to walk me home
I guess at one point we started talking and I realized he wasn't such a...
Claire: ...such a loser? Racist? Sadist? Should I continue?
Mai: ..he's so much more than that Claire...he's sweet...
Claire: if you say sweet Mai so help me God
Mai: You don't understand
Claire: Yes Mai I don't please tell me how I'm gonna understand the fact that my fuckin best friend in the fuckin world with whom I had all this great plans for life would go and have sex with my ex and current mother's gigolo and fall pregnant. Please! Please! Please! Tell me how that makes sense
Mai: that's ENOUGH! Know what Claire? I can't deal with you when you're so angry
I'll talk to you at school
Claire: You do know he's HIV positive right?
I hadn't meant for that part to come out but it was about damn time.
Mai: What?
Claire: You should get tested.
Mai: But...but...but...he told me he was
Claire: lies.lies.lies and more lies
Mai: that means you've got it too?
Claire : We used protection Mai
Mai: Oh my God
Claire: I'm sorry I told you like this but you have the right to know
Mai: Claire what am I gonna do?
Shit she was crying
I never meant to make her cry
I took her by the hand and pulled her face up so she could look at me
Claire: You didn't know Better. You're just stupid naturally. I get that but...
Mai: wow that's some comforting words...
Claire: I would take you to the hospital and I'll stay by your side whatever happens ok?
Mai: My life is ruined...
Claire: No don't say that....you'll be fine....you've had worse trust me...this sickness will not....
Celine: who's sick?
Mai and I looked up to see my mom put down the stuffs she'd bought
At this point we both were speechless until Mai moved towards her and said
Mai: John is...
Celine: John is what Hun...
Mai: hmmhmm John is HIV positive
Celine: And Jesus is black hehe
Claire: mom listen. John, the man you worship is sick!
Celine: Where's this coming from? Do you have prove of all this accusations Beau?
Claire: Don't call me that...
Celine: I know you don't like him? But please stop trying so hard to sabotage the guy
Claire: ok have it your way but I were you I'd get myself to a hospital just to be sure I'm not gonna die soon
John: What is going on? Are you guys ok?
Hi Mai. Hey babe
Claire: What is he doing here?
Mai: Are you sick?
John: Am I...what do you mean?
Claire: Celine what the fuck is he doing here?
Mai: ANSWER ME DAMN IT
Mai had gone full crazy at this point she was shaking.
She was moving towards him while my mom just stood there.
I was a little shook myself and quite frankly proud.
Now this is the Mai I know
You better answer bitch
Instead he took step after step back. Speechless of course
Mai: I'm gonna ask you one last fucking time John!
Are...you .. HIV positive?
John: Yes.. Yes I am
Celine: What The Fuuuuck
