Chapter forty-six: Get out

Chapter forty-six: Get out (Faith's POV)

"You just keep messing up, don't ya babe?" Hayley spoke through the phone. 

"You're not helping. I should start considering calling Daniel for advice, he sure helps a lot more than you do," I rolled my eyes. We got back home and hadn't said one word to each other since. 

He was up in his room, I was down here in the living room. 

"What're you gonna do?" she asked. 

"If you haven't noticed, that's what I called you for," I replied. 

"I think you should just apologize and admit you were wrong because frankly honey, you were." 

I clicked my tongue, "I could've been right if it wasn't for stupid Amber. Why is it so difficult for people to be honest?" I groaned. 

"You aren't being honest with Alex either, you're not admitting you were wrong," she scoffed. 

"I already did admit that I was wrong. Admitting that I was wrong does not mean I have to apologize. I'm not sorry that I decided to help her," I replied. 

"Are you sorry you and Alex fought because of it?" she questioned. 

"Yeah," I said slowly. 

"Then freaking apologize!" she groaned. We had been having this same argument for the last twenty minutes. "Look, you never mess with a girl's character and a boy's ego. If you were to apologize, you'd boost his ego. Consider it a favor for him," she said. 

"And what does that say about my character, honey? That I'm easy and one to give in? Absolutely not. A girl's ego is just as important as a guy's." I huffed. 

"Sure it is, but is it harder for you to break down your ego a little than admit you were wrong and give him his rightful happiness and right to tell you he told you so?!" she sighed. 

"Alright, give the phone to Daniel," I said while standing up to grab some water. 

"Hey," his voice echoed through the phone. 

"What do I do?" I asked. 

"Before I answer that if it comes down to it, would you be okay with apologizing?" he questioned. 

"If it comes down to it? Yes," I answered. 

"Alright, clearly you wanna keep this going for a little bit, your ego does at least, and I'm sure he wants you to cave in. Being on your team," he paused, "I say play it out a little longer. See how irritated he gets and if he starts genuinely getting upset then just apologize. From what I hear, it sounds like a petty fight." 

"Thank you, that's how you give advice, Hayley. I'll see you guys soon, bye," I hung up. I know she puts her phone on speaker when she's with him, who the hell couldn't figure that out? Now all I have to do is see how far we can take this petty argument.

We both had pizza for dinner and were now lying in his bed backs facing each other, not saying one word. I bit my lip in thought before sitting up in bed and grabbing one pillow and my phone. 

"What are you doing?" he grabbed my wrist before I could get up. 

"I'm gonna get out," I replied. "I'm taking the couch," I sighed while slipping my flip flops on. 

"Are you kidding?" he scoffed. 

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I arched an eyebrow at him. 

"Fine," he let go of my wrist, "If you wanna take the couch then you can take the couch." He turned his back to face me and pulled the blanket up to his chest.
