Chapter 8
Unedited

When I woke up the next day the phone was ringing loudly.  I groaned pulling the blanket over my head. It rang again and I sat up frowning. Shit what if it's Max.

"Max?!" I asked urgently "no it's me Nancy, Kai is that you?"

"Shit." I cursed.

"Hey Nanc"

"Hey Nanc ha you got some nerves girl you have a lot to explain Miss Nadir."

I decided there is no point in hiding form my best friend.

After an hour of explaining Nancy sighed "why didn't you tell me how you felt about Steve, god I'm such an idiot how did I not notice your feeling, why didn't you tell me I would've never dated him."

"I-"

"Do not say your a nobody Kai, your my favorite person in the planet I would do anything for you, you know that right?" I grabbed Mr pie off my floor and hugged him.

"I'm so sorry." I sniffled.

"I'm sorry."

And after a hour more of moping and crying and than laughing. We hung up.

I felt better more relieved that I was finally able to tell Nancy how I felt, I used tell her everything up until last years incidence and our relationship became more superficial but after today I felt like I was able to talk to the old Nancy after a long time.

I took a shower and ate some food and came downstairs to watch tv. My day was going uneventful as usual, I planned to check in on Max later today, maybe I will bring some food over?

When the phone rang again I got up "wow your pretty popular." Mom teased and I smiled shrugging before running upstairs.

"Hello?"

"Kai it's max."

I pulled up to her house and she opened the door for me almost instantly catching me off guard a little.

"Is he awake?" I asked stepping inside the house putting my keys on the side table and looking back at Max.

"No." I frowned should I have called an ambulance was his injuries must worse than i thought.

When I opened Max's door Billy was sitting up no problem his face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Sorry he made me lie."

"Oh you got to be kidding me." I tried to walk away but he stood up before he lost balance.

"God you idiot!" I quickly walked back before taking his arms and placing them my neck and picking him up and putting him back on the bed.

He held on to me not letting me up, I glared at him but he pretended as if I was smiling and batting my eyes.

"Billy let me go." I said not meeting his eyes mostly because I knew if I did I would forgive him. Curse you ocean blue eyes.

"Not until you forgive me."

"What! Get off." I tried to push but he held on.

"Just so you know you forced this, I started to tickle him and he let me go laughing holding his stomach. I fell on the ground when he let me go and I huffed blowing my hair out my face.

"I'm sorry." He said and I crossed my arms "whatever, look you needed help and thats what I did I'm not heartless unlike you, but I have nothing to say to you."

"Than let me explain please 5 minutes."

"You have three."

"I will take it." I sat down on the bed and he turned toward me.
