Toxic // m.c.

chapter thirteen.

Ben & Jerry’s.

That is what our night entirely consisted of. That, watching sappy movies, and crying onto each other’s shoulders lying in bed.  I told Rae just about everything, and as soon as I did she basically dragged me out of the apartment and demanded I take her to a Royal Farms. After a bit of driving we found one, getting our usual tubs of ice-cream and renting Redbox movies, just like old times.

“Guys are such shit heads” Raelynn whined, a few tears slipping out of her eyes as the credits to A Walk to Remember came across the screen.

“It’s not fair. Why can’t I get a guy to love me like that?” I huffed, throwing my fork into the half empty tub.

“So what next, The Notebook or Keith? Or should I word it as do you want to cry, or really cry? ” she asked me.

“Hmmm, decisions, decisions.” I told her while playfully rolling my eyes. 

But she just put in Keith, knowing I was ultimately going to choose that. I was a sucker for that movie. I’ve watched it so many times I could probably say the words with the characters. A good girl, stepping outside her boundaries and really falling for a guy who didn’t think he’d ever even have a shot on love. She broke down his walls, making him fall in love when he thought no one could, and he showed her who she really was before he was gone for good. The whole movie just really gets to me, that kind of love. The love you can’t control, you could be complete and polar opposites like they were and still find just one little thing that can bring you together as one and you grow to love the other’s differences. Something about that, I just can’t get enough of.

*two hours later*

“GOODBYE PARTNER? DID HE REALLY SAY THAT?” I scream cried at the screen. Why did he have to die? Why did I like this movie so much?

“Yes, Soph, he did. Just like he did the other hundred times we watched this movie.” Raelynn said and I just smacked her arm because I knew damn well she was crying too.

Raelynn clicked the remote and the screen went black, causing me to scowl at her and she readjusted herself to face me. 

“What time do your classes start tomorrow?” she asked me. I looked to the clock and it was already 11:00 pm. Shit.

I sighed, slumping back into the couch more. “Classes start at 9:00, and I should be out at like 2:30ish?”

She nodded her head, picking up the two empty tubs of ice cream and walking over into the kitchen to throw them away.

“What time are you leaving tomorrow?” I asked her when she got back to the room, a small frown on my face. I really missed her; I didn’t want her to go home.

She smiled sympathetically, but it was soon taken over by her signature smirk.

“Oh god, what do you have planned??” I asked.

“Well, if you must know, tomorrow we are going shopping.”

“I can’t, you know I have my date-“I was saying, but Raelynn literally threw a pillow at me to shut me up.

“Yes. I know that. That’s why we’re going shopping. When you get out of school, we’ll go and I’ll be gone before you leave for the date. We’re going to get you something hot. Like really hot. You need to make Ashton’s jaw drop, Michael jealous, and make that little hoe Kaya look smalla than a bug.” She said with a little laugh at the end.

“Well what are you going to do while I’m in school?”

“I’m going to… explore.” She said with a little shrug and a gleam in her eyes.

I sat silent for a minute or two just thinking. Did I want to make them jealous? Did I want to be that girl who had all attention on her? I was never like that but… oh fuck it.

“Do you really think we can find something for me to wear that great in such a short time?” I asked and huge smile spread across Rae’s face.

“Are you crazy? Were in New York City, of course we can.”

I nodded in agreement, reaching over to flick off the light switch.

“Isn’t it so pretty here?” I murmured, looking out through the window at all the city lights

“It really is. I can’t wait till I’m living here too.”  She sighed. I sighed with her, letting the silence overcome us as we both drifted off into sleep, taking all my nerves for tomorrow away with it. 

A/N: this is more of a filler, i wanted to go into more detail of the friendship with Soph & Rae:) have a good night!! :)
