Once I got the voice to finally speak I whispered his name.
“What?” He whispered back.
I pull away to looked at the clock, it was 8:25. I sniffled, took a few deep breaths and plastered a smile on my face and said “We will get through this together” I looked at him right in the eyes and made sure he knew I was serous. “I promise.”
He looked at me with these big sad eyes, I Iooked away for a second and when I glanced back at him he had a smile on his face and eyes were filled with joy. “Okay” he forced out in a breath. Once that it seemed like we've been staring at each other in this awkward silence I hugged him tight and asked “What movie are we going to watch first? We have a long night ahead.” I said standing up.
“mhhm, I say we watch Grown Ups and then Grown Ups 2” he said smiling.
“Oh my gosh two of the best movies of all time!” I screamed .
He looked at me with his face with no facial expressions then he busted out laughing at me.
“What” I said with a weird face.
“Nothing” he smiled.
“Lies” I through a pillow at him and I completely missed.
“It's just that ever since we were little you get that look like you're going to explode of happiness and..” He trailed off.
“And what” I was curious I always have been.
“And nothing” He sat up straighter.
“Okaaaayyy well I'll go get some food and you set up.” I told him as I started heading out the door he just nodded. I went to the kitchen and put some pop corn in and got popped that baby up, grabbed some cold, refreshing Dr. Pepper because it was our favorite soda. Then I went to my house to get some candy and went back to the popcorn which was done and put it in a huge bowl and ran up stairs trying no to fall, I made it up with out falling or spilling anything and headed to a dark room with the TV on. I put the stuff down on his bed and went to his candy stash and put it with mine.
“Hey! What are you doing?” I jumped and looked at him standing behind me.
“Oh gosh Jake, don’t do that!” stammered out.
He just stared down at me and started laughing “Oh well, Lizzy it was funny!”
“It was not! You scared the bejeebers out of me!” I said defensively.
He put the movie in and took a hand full of popcorn and opened his pop. I sorted the candy and found the sour patch kids. My favorite, he had a lot of packs… And he wonders why I always steal his candy.
When Grown Ups 2 was over the popcorn was gone so was the soda. I sat up and he turned the lights on. My eyes!
“Dude that was so funny” He said laughing a bit.
“Right! That's why it's a must have!” I said laughing as well. “Well what movie should we watch now?” I said rubbing my eyes and getting up to get my most favorite movie evaaah.
“Oh, not again.” he said rolling his eyes.
“Hey it’s my favorite movie. The is how it works you watch your favorite movies and now I get to watch mine. Fair and square.” I said laughing.
“Fine” he sighed “Well I’ll go get the tissue okay” he was being sarcastic.
“I do not cry all the time I watch it!” yelling at him.
“Yes you do” he yelling back from down the hall.
“Do not!” I yelled back.
“You don't what?” Mr. Jenkins said looking at me as he pasted the room.
“Oh” I laughed “Cry every time I watch "The Last Song” or "Safe Haven"I say.
“Oh well in this case Liz you do” he said laughing as he walked away.
I shook my head and thought no I don’t. But of course I questioned my self. Maybe I do. Oh well I heard Jake restocking on the popcorn, candy, soda and heard him start to come up the stairs. He plopped down next to me. Once we were setted I hit play and skipped to the menu I honestly hated trailers. It started I don’t know why I loved this movie but I also hated it.
We were close to the end and a tear slipped out. Okay maybe I did cry every time I watch it but come on how could you not! She just starts getting along with her dad and she finds out he has cancer and he dies. I hate it, I hate it!
“See your crying Lizzy!” He said.
“Hey, okay maybe I am but come on! She starts playing again and when she finishes the song that he wrote for her, he literally dies sitting on the chair on the deck, I mean honestly it's so sad don;t judge me! And then she pushes Will away when she needs him the most. So I'm sorry that I'm crying.” I said sobbing.
“Okay sorry” He said kinda laughing.
“No your not.” I said sniffling.
“Yes, I am Lizzy” He said pulling me into a hugged,
I tried to pull away but his gasp was too tight around me. So I just hugged him back. What else could I do.
“Lets watch Lilo and Stitch now” I said trying to breathe.
“No I have a better idea” He said pulling away. I didn't think anything would happen until I start blursting out laughing. He was tickling me the only way to make me surrender and do something he wanted it was a weakness he found out when we were younger.
“Okay… Okay…” I said trying to breathe again. “What do you want?” I asked
“I want to do something fun!” He said
“Like what?” I said questionably.
“Lets do some kind of challenge” He asked
“How about no. I've done a few with Bri and I don't feel like doing any tonight lets do something really fun though!”
“Um I don’t know but its dark out now…” He said looking out the window.
“No-o really? I thought it was sunny!” I laughed “Lets have a bonfire!” I may have yelled a tad.
“Okay.” He smiled
