I picked up my phone and went to the bathroom and locked the door.
*hey sorry I couldn't sleep*
Nick had sent ME a message out of all people why ME.
I also wondered why at 2 am.
*It's ok I couldn't either* I replied not wanting to tell him about Michael.
*I had a great day with you and I was wondering if u would like to go out with me on friday*
I looked at the screen rereading making sure that I read it right.
As I realized that this was real I quickly responded.
* I did too nick I would love to go on a date with you*
*great I'll see u in class and I'll tell you the info later goodnight baby girl*
*goodnight* I replied .
I jumped in the air having my moment until I slipped and fell into the tub making a loud thud.
Michael knocked on the door ferociously.
"Vanessa are you ok open the door!" " I'm fine".
No I was amazing, just dandy.
There was such a huge smile on my face that when I opened the door Michael was caught a little off guard.
"What the fuck Vanessa, I turn around and you're not there then I hear you fall in the fucking tub ,you made me have a heart attack".
"Mikey you're over exaggerating the situation, I slipped and fell when I was leaving the bathroom".
"then why do you have a silly grin on your face".
I didn't want to tell him because of the scene he caused in the smoothie shop but I could tell he knew it had something to do with my phone.
He looked down at my phone then back at me and I tried to run to the bathroom to lock myself in but he caught me.
"Vanessa give me the phone".
"No Mikey just go to sleep". I turned to face the bathroom and he grabbed my waist and turned me around and grabbed my phone.
He locked the door and I could hear him puffing and hitting things.
Before I could knock he opened the door.
He climbed into the sleeping bag and I went to my bed. No words were spoken.
"Why didn't you tell me Ness".His voice angelic almost.
" I.....I didn't want to ubset you and you were asleep".
He went on my bed and pushed me over.
" You're my best friend. You are supposed to tell me everything and I tell you everything.You know I love you You're everything to me so i was kinda hurt u didn't tell me".
I hugged my hurt rocker teddy bear of a best friend and cried at his words.
He wiped the tears falling to my cheek and kissed my forehead with a soft gentle kiss.
I was so close to knocking out but one question was floating in my mind.
"Why were you mad when i was at the smoothie shop with Nick", I asked.
"I just........don't want to see my best friend with a broken heart".
Before I could respond soft snores escaped his mouth.
I wondered what he ment by "see my best friend with a broken heart".
How did he know? What did he know?
I would figure this out in the morning so I fell fast asleep in the sleeping bag letting Michael have the bed.
