HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSS LYNCH!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roxy's Chapter:
“What are you doing here?” I asked the man who stood in my driveway. I couldn't see who it was, but I shifted Mikey on my hips so I was in front of him.
“We need to talk.” He said, moving into the light, where I realized that it was Pierce.
“Oh, sure, what's going on?” I smiled, waiting for my best friend to walk up to me. He slowly moved up, he had one one hand behind his back, with the other shoved in his jean pocket. “What do you have behind your back?” I asked with a smile on my face.
Pierce looked down, his black hair falling over his eyes. He had a smile on his face. “Um, these are for you.” Pierce took his hand from behind his back, and I saw the bouquet of red roses. “I know that the red ones are your favorite.”
I smiled as I took the flowers. “Oh, thank you Pierce.” I took a minute to smell the beautiful flowers. “What's the occasion?”
Pierce walked up to me, shoving his hands into his jean pockets. When he finally got close to me, he held out his hand for mine. “Can we go for a walk?”
I looked down at the little boy in my arms who laid fast asleep. I nodded my head, but I couldn't hold his hand. After running into the house, giving Grace Mikey and the flowers, Pierce and I walked side by side down the street. “Everything okay, you seem kind of quiet.”
I glanced over to my best friend. He gave a long deep sigh, running his fingers through his black hair. “I don't even know how to start,” We came to a stop at the local play ground and we walked over to the swings. “Rox, do you ever think about the future?”
I nodded my head. “Of course I do.” Pierce continued to ask me what I thought about. “I think about a lot of things, like what I'm gonna do after high school, who I'm gonna marry, if I want kids.”
And without asking me, Pierce slipped his hand into mine, and I couldn't pull it away. Not because I wanted to old his hand, but because he has a killer grip. “Roxy, whenever I think about the future, I think about you.”
I scrunched up my brows, looking at my best friend with confusion. “What do you mean?”
He got out of his swing and walked in front of mine, grabbing my other hand. “Roxy, ever since the day I met you I have been head over heels in love with you.”
My jaw dropped, I yanked my hands away from him. “What?!” He went to talk again, but I held up my hand trying to stop him from talking. “You know what, I think we're done here.”
I tried to walk away, but he came up running, gently grabbing my hand. “Rox, tell me you never thought about a relationship between us.” He said, spinning me so I could see his eyes. “Cause since the that day in the boy's bathroom, that's all I ever thought about.”
I shook my head. “Pierce, I am so sorry, but I never felt that way about you. And even if I did, I have Ross now--”
“Why do you have to bring that guy up?!” Pierce's voice was harsh. “I don't even know why you're dating him!” He tightened his grip on my hand. “We are perfect for each other.”
Pierce walked up to me with a sincere smile on his face. With his free hand, he tucked a piece of my blond hair behind my ears. “I always knew we were going to fall in love, get married, and have a family.” He looked at me. “Can't you see it? Us having a baby like Mikey? Oh, you looked so beautiful with his on your hips.” And before I knew what he was doing, Pierce had his lips on mine. It felt so wrong! So forced, and definitely not like Ross' kissed. I need Ross...
