Chapter 10
Dominick
We looked in the woods, yelling Lizzie, but there was never an answer.
"Where did she go?" Ryan asked.
"No clue." I replied.
"I swear if she does anything stupid, I'm going to kill Lane." Ryan told us.
"So, what's up? I mean I get it. He didn't have the right to say that shit to Lizzie, but I've never seen you like this and I'm one of your best friends."
He just continued looking around as if he didn't hear me. After a few seconds of awkward walking and silence he replied, "I honestly do know myself bro."
"Do you like her?"
"I don't want too."
"Why?"
"I'm not good enough for her. She's smart, beautiful and deserves way better than me." He told me.
"Yeah I understand."
"It's just, she's on my mind twenty-four seven bro. It's driving me crazy."
"Just tell her. Grow a pair and tell her."
"What if she likes me back?"
"Um, isn't that your goal here?"
"Yeah." He told me.
"Then?"
"What if she does!?"
"Then it's a good thing?! I don't know?"
"If she likes me, and we date, I don't know. I feel like I'm not gonna be the guy she wants. Like a horrible boyfriend and everyone is going to hate me for treating her wrong. I get so nervous around her it's unreal."
"Woah, we are totally having a girl convo right now."
We both laughed.
"Guess so, but I just had to let it out." Ryan told me.
"Why don't you ever talk to Natalie about this. She's Lizzie's best friend. She could've helped you."
"I don't know. Oh my god. All this time I've been trying to seek help with this, when help has been right in front of me."
"Yeah, well." I told Ryan.
He pulled out his phone and called someone.
"Who ya calling?" I asked.
"Natalie."
"You're gunna call her and ask for help now?"
"No. I'm gunna ask her if she's found Lizzie." He told.
"Oh, okay."
"Natalie? Yeah. Have you found her? No we haven't either."
I could her the frustration in Natalie voice.
"Hang on. Dude, Natalie said she needs one of us. She needs help with our bags."
"I knew I forgot something. Tell her I'll be there. You stay and look for Lizzie. Text me if you find her."
"Alright," he told as he put the phone back on his ear. "Dominick's on his way. Yeah. Okay, bye."
With that, I took off towards school.
