22. she nodded

'His comment was a dot and a bracket emoji,' Rae explained, not understanding the big deal about this. 'And he dm'd me the pictures Simon took from his phone of us girls. That's it.'

Janet groaned, 'Don't tell me, James is as socially awkward as Sykkuno is.'

On that Imane chuckled, covering her mouth while Rae eyed the girls with a narrowed gaze. 'I guess, maybe. I mean they are twins.' Imane suggested.

'Wait, what?' Rae asked, confused. 'I don't think he's socially awkward, he's just socially arrogant.' She tsked and Janet giggled at that.

'Or Rae, he was maybe trying to be more interactive with you but couldn't because he's nervous.' Janet shrugged, battling her eyelids.

'Yea. Maybe James did wanna talk with you but couldn't and all he did best was send you pictures of something he could have send Simon.'

Rae looked at her two best friends like they were the dumbest thing on earth, she chuckled humorously, 'You guys actually think that James, THE James Tran, the most arrogant, mean and rude guy who hates streamers was trying to talk to me or rather slide in my dms?' She illustrated her frustration but Janet and Imane only nodded vigorously. 'You guys are actually buttheads.'

Janet gasped while Imane laughed at Rae's horrified expressions. 'Oh Rae, maybe he does like you and this is his way of you know, letting his feelings out.'

On the vivid imagination of James and her, Rae groaned. 'Please. James dislikes me. And I do too. We never had a single surreal conversation. He legit hates streamers and I legit hate his guts.' She spilled the facts, finishing her wine. 'And honestly, I don't think he was trying to talk to me. He has my phone number, why would he wanna slide in my dms?'

Both Janet and Imane shared another surprised look. 'Wow, he has your number too?'

'That's fast!'

Rae rolled her eyes, 'It was because Sykkuno's cell wasn't working. Geez, you idiots. Stop reading between the lines of a dead end paragraph. James and I can and will never happen. And I don't think he likes me, and I absolutely dislike him.' She said, almost yelled, her frustration increasing with every discussion about James. 'Never ever ever.'

Janet took this as a cue to not push the topic and Imane shook her head from behind the screen. 'I don't know Rae,' She said, a twinkle in her eyes, a grin etched on her face. 'Never say never.'

'Whatever.' Rae rolled her eyes yet again and Janet nodded at Imane who then cleared her throat.

'What now?' Rae asked, sensing a slighter tense environment.

'Janet saw something on your phone the other day.' Imane tilted her head, eyeing the girl.

'What?'

'I saw Xavier's number on your second recently dialed.' Janet said, a bit seriously. 'I thought you deleted his number and blocked him, Rae.'

'Yes. Why are you still in contact with him?' Imane demanded.

Rae sighed, pressing her lips in a straight line. 'I accidentally dialed his number that day.'

'Really? We're not that dumb.' Janet said, shaking her head and Imane nodded.

'Alright.' Rae said raising her hands in surrender. 'He was texting me and asking me for a chance. And all I did was call him and tell him to stop bothering me. That's it.'

There was a two minute silence, both Janet and Imane contemplating what to do next while Rae hoped they wouldn't yell at her.

'This is getting so repetitive.' Janet vouched, 'and stupid.'

'Yes. I hate how he keeps barging in your life.' Imane's jaw clenched, she wanted nothing but Rae to move forward.

'So what now?' Rae asked, timidly.

'It's simple.' Janet shrugged and both girls looked at her. 'He wants to meet you and let him explain. Give that fucking bastard that one meeting and finish this once and for all.'

Rae could feel her heartbeats racing, and hoped Imane would disagree but Imane was in on it instantly. 'Janet, you beautiful beautiful woman, you're right. Rae, this mf needs to be told to stop doing this on his fucking face. And doesn't he stay in Carson Avenue? In Nevada now?'

Rae nodded, dumbfounded.

'Good. You're going to Las Vegas for two things now. And you have to end this shit cycle.'

And Rae nodded, taking a deep breath. Las Vegas was more challenging than she thought.

'Hiee chat!' She smiled at the web cam, it was yet another day on her live stream and she was happy than ever with Mr. Beast's official announcement approaching and the gameplays getting all the more fun.

The video of the Amigops where Rae spoke to them in animal noises was now at the highest peak views and Simon had uploaded the same on his insta account. She knew it was this video and many other things that Jimmy approached the Amigops for a collab, and she was more than thankful for getting this opportunity.

'Everything is fine. More than fine to be honest.' Rae smiled, she adjusted her beanie on her head while she read the chats. 'No, no, you guys will have to hold on for a little time though.' She winked, 'It's going to be good for sure.'

It wasn't until another week where she had to leave for Las Vegas but Rae wasn't feeling upbeat about it. Mostly because her ex kept texting her and pestering her to be back and give him a chance when she clearly didn't know what to do.

She couldn't get herself to block his number and he wouldn't leave without getting a chance to explain himself. But Rae knew there was no explanation for cheating on someone.

Zilch.

And she was going to end this charade. Break this shitty cycle.

Not realizing that she was going to break more than just this.

A certain someone's heart too.
