4...Fight...

{Jason}

Having this girl in my car after she cussed me out yesterday is really annoying. Mildred thinks we can still be friends after what she did. It will never happen. We can only pretend it's okay to be friends in her presence, but in her absence, the hatred is gonna be real.

The way she cussed me out yesterday kept playing in my head, increasing the burning anger in me. And she had the audicty to tell me to go to hell! How could she do that? No girl ever walked out on me before, I do that to people in general instead, but this girl....she's the meanest girl I've ever met. I wish I was able to tell her 'Fuck you too' before she walked off yesterday.

"I only allowed you in my car because of Mildred" I stated firmly to her.

She turned the direction of her head towards me to show me the fierce glare on her face. I swear, she's a devil. "And you really think I wanna stay in your stupid car?"

"Don't call my car stupid" I growled.

"God, this stupid pride again" She rolled her eyes sassily. "How is Mildred even friends with you? And you should know I'm only sitting here because of her"

I know the last sentence is true. I was about to say something back to her when my phone beeped to notify me of a message. I pray this time, its not a bad message.

I grabbed my phone, opened the message and began to read. Its from work and it's definitely not a good news.

I ran my fingers through my hair, sighing, then I heard low sound of exhale but not from me. It was from the girl sitting next to me. I could feel her eyes on me while I looked straight ahead, feeling more pissed.

"Are you always furious at everyone?" She asked, breaking the silence in the car.

"Can't you just mind your goddamn business for fucks sake!" I yelled.

"I was only asking a question, don't bark at me, geez" her eyes were showing impudence, same with the tone of her voice.

"Maybe if you could keep quiet, I won't have to yell at you" I told her, glaring angrily at her.

"Only assholes yell at people that way" She mumbled but I heard her.

"I need to know something" I faced her squarely, her exasperated expression coming into my clear view. "Do you always go about cussing people out?"

"I only curse at people that deserves it" Her lips curved upwards as she mumbled those words.

Her reply had me scoffing "So you're saying I deserve it"

"Yes. Every single one of it" She gave me a wicked smile "And I'd curse you over and over again if you do or say something irritating"

Something tells me she'd really not hesitate to curse the life out of me if she wants to.

"Why are you not in hell?" I asked rhetorically but she gave an answer anyways.

"I was waiting for you"

Damn, what a mean reply but I was not about to let her win even though that was childish.

"You don't have to wait for me" I smirked evily "You could just be the devil's assistant"

She smiled. Another wicked smlie, but this one could give chills if I wasn't so strong myself.

"That's because I know the devil's gonna hire you first before he hires me. You can be his P.A"

And what a wicked reply too.

"I'm backkkkk!" Mildred's cheerful voice stopped me from talking. "And I'm glad you both are still alive"

Alive?

Only if she knew I almost got killed by someone at the passenger seat.

"Dude, I was almost dead" I muttered under my breath before starting the engine of the car.

I glanced at the girl at the passenger seat only to have my eyes lock with hers through her glasses. I stared right into her eyes and she stared right back, not showing any fear.

I swear to God, this girl is not human.

Only people that aren't human has got to have such bravery, bad characters, and still possess such beautiful facial features like hers, especially those blue eyes.

"Seat belt" I said coldly and didn't wait for her to fix it around her before I started to drive away.

Mildred has been the one doing most of the talking while I drove on. I was seething as I handled the wheels and I was sure a particular someone feels the same. I could feel the heat of her anger radiating through me. It might seem impossible to feel such heat, but it really is possible when the anger and hatred is so real and hot that it could burn.

"---And then I saw him there...." Mildred went on with her talking while I remained quiet but pissed.

"--But the customer was like...." Mildred cleared her throat to mimick a deep masculine voice "You are a good person"

I curved the side of my lips in a small smile "You're really a good girl, Mildred, unlike someone who cusses people out, telling them to go to hell and then walks out on them" I said without glancing at the girl I was referring to but I could feel her eyes intensely on me.

"Don't you think arrogant people deserves to be cursed and walked out on, Mildred?" She asked in her defense like I wasn't sitting right at the seat at her side.

Mildred went quiet. I could imagine her glancing between us.

"You should be careful when helping people. You try to help them, and then the next thing, they see you as an arrogant person" I fired back calmly.

"And some people think they are helping when they are simply just selfish!" She was now raising her voice, showing just how much hatred she feels towards me.

"Mildred, you see why one has gotta be careful when helping? Some people are just good at turning the table and making one look like a bad person" I retorted, expecting her sassy comeback.

"So you're saying I'm making you look like a bad person after the harsh words you said to me?"

"Ah, I see someone's now being direct with me" I muttered, keeping my eyes on the road.

Mildred cleared her throat noisily. "Can you guys stop fighting now?"

"NO!!" We answered simultaneously with a strong tone.

Then the she devil faced me squarely. she was clearly not done with me. "You know if you'd been humble about your request, maybe I would've considered it and won't have to say no to you"

"Nah" I gave a dry laugh "We both know that's a lie. You won't consider it no matter how nice I am"

"Oh now he's calling me a liar" she whispered harshly throwing her arms up angrily.

"I never called you one, but an honest person won't behave like you did"

I hope this girl knows my head feels really hot as a result of this exchange of insults.

"Why am I even in your fucking car in the first place?" She asked rhetorically.

"You wanna get out?" I gestured a hand towards the car door while I drove with the other hand "I'd like that more than anything!"

"Okay, guys, guys" Mildred called, her voice loud and firm "That's enough. You're both matured to settle this quietly"

We both scoffed simultaneously.

"I'm not ready to settle anything with him" She mumbled.

I glanced at Mildred, a frown on my face "And I thought you said she's matured"

"She is"

"I am!!"

She talked the same time with Mildred but her voice was louder and harder.

"Don't bark out your words" I said with a scrunched up face.

She turned her neck to the back to look at Mildred "I thought you said he can be nice"

Mildred sighed softly. I think she is getting stressed. "Guys, can you please just...." she paused, probably looking for the right words to say "Just try not to fight, okay?"

I think that is impossible.

"You should tell him to be nice and then peace can reign"

You see why its impossible not to fight.

"Maybe if you can stop being disrespectful, you will get to see my nice side" I said.

Mildred sighed again.

"Look, you're stressing my friend" The devilish girl blamed me directly.

I threw her a look, my eyes and lips slightly widening at her "Are you serious right now?"

"You both are making me regret staying in this car with you guys" Mildred said and that was when we both fell silent.

"I'm almost home, drive slowly" The she devil said.

I had to take a very deep breath to control the strong urge to throw a reply. I drove calmly, secretly praying for patience as she directed me to her place.

Minutes later, I was pulling up at her house.

She looked at Mildred and smiled brightly at her "Good night, Mildred"

"Night babe" Mildred answered, waving.

And to me she said "I hope I don't get to see you again"

"Same here"

But I know this isn't the last time I would get to see her. As long as she remain friends with Mildred, then I'm gonna have to see her more times than I can count. Just the thought of it stresses me out.

I sighed, rubbing my forehead.
