When it ends

Chapter 6

       We got to the hotel late that night. I kept thinking of everything we had done that day and what i was up against. It was a lot and i wasn't sure how i was going to handle everything. I couldn't sleep. "Anyone else awake?" I asked. "Me." Came the three voices of my best friends. "Let's play truth." I said. "How do you play that?" Zyler asked. "I made it up. I'm not getting out of this bed to do a dare. So we'll take turns thinking of a truth and we all have to answer it deal?" I asked. "Sweet, i'm down." They agreed.

                "I'll start it. First crush?" I asked. "Ms Abernathy. My fourth grade teacher." Said Zyler. "Really?" I asked. "Uh yea she was hot, in fact she's still hot. I'd totally get with her if she was interested." He said. Carter snorted. "Mindy Cooper, seventh grade. I asked her to the welcome back dance. She totally crushed my heart." Said Carter. "Danny Johnson. He tried to kiss me in eight grade at field day. I thought i was going to marry him." Said Rosie.

              "Eric Zimmerman. I finally got him to agree to go on a date with me and they move to Pittsburg." I said. "Whos next?" I asked. "I'll go. First kiss." Said Rosie. "Sixth grade Julie cooper. On the school bus. She was my bus partener and we were just too curious." Zyler said. "Becca Sanders ninth grade going to tenth at summer camp." Said Carter. "Chase Whicam, eleventh grade over our volcano for science class." Said Rosie. "Wesley Putnam. Seven minutes in heaven at Kristy Banos party. Tenth grade." I said quietly. Only because they didn't know that.

              "Wait that was your first kiss!?" Rosie sat up squealing. "He's hot how come you never told me?" She asked. "It never came up?" I said weakly. "Like heck it didn't. I need to pause the game i need details." Rosie said. "It's not that big of a deal. I spun the bottle and it landed on him. We went in the closet. He told me i didn't have to kiss him if i didn't want to but he thought i was cute and was glad the bottle hand landed on me. Then i agreed to kiss him." "Was he a good kisser? I need numbers." Zyler said using his girly voice. "Nobody asked you Zy shut it!" Said Rosie.

             "Fine i'll ask the next question." Said Carter. "Who was your best kiss?" Carter asked. "Ms Zimerman." Zyler said. "What!?" I sat up. "You kissed your teacher in fourth grade? How does that even count as being your best kiss. Wait you said your first kiss wasn't until sixth grade!! When did this happen exactly?" I asked.

              "Beginning of Senior year. She needed somebody to mow her grass i offered she got one look at me in my shirtless sweaty glory. She offered me a lemonade and i pulled her to me for a kiss." "You did not!!" Rosie said. "Well okay it wasn't quite like that. She and her husband had just split up. She might've been lonely but if her husband had kissed her more they'd still be together." Zyler said.

             "Mine was Greg Aldridge. We had dated a few weeks before i let him kiss me but it was beautiful." Said Rosie changing the subject. "Mine was maybe Gloria steinbeck? I don't know the jury is still out." Carter said. "Mine hasn't happened yet." I said. "You can't say that!" Zyler screeched. "You have to pick out of the ones you did get." He clarified.

           "Maybe but i'm still in belief it can get better." I said. "Fine. I'll just ask my question." Zyler said. "How far have you gone?" Zyler asked. "California." I joked. "Come on you know what i'm asking." "Well i'm scared to hear you say all the way." I said. "Hey look i have not gone all the way just most of the way." He said. "I've just kissed." Said Rosie. "Well a few days ago i was almost..." I threw my pillow at Carter.

              "Kidding!" He said throwing it back. "Yea just kiss for me to." He said. "Well Marty Robbins took my shirt off and tried to feel me up." I said. "I'm gonna kill him." Said Carter. "I kneed him so it's all good." I said. "See i told you that you were a tough cookie." Said Carter laughing. "I don't see how he got it off. I mean at one point he reaches for the hem..." Zyler said. "Hey, have you seen Marty Robbins?? He's on the wrestling team and kind of huge." I said. "Ah guess he likes to fight for it. How romantic." Rosie said sarcastically.

"           Ok i've got one. What tv show do you watch that you'd be embarrassed to admit?" I asked. "Project runway." Said Zyler. We all laughed. "Let me guess, you watch it for the models?" I asked. "Sure." He laughed sheepishly. "The O.C." Said Carter. "Really?" I asked surprised. "Well, it was on and i kind of got hooked. I wanted to know if Ryan was going to be okay. I never saw how it ended but i'm sure he and Marissa ended up together." "Oh Carter." I said sadness lacing my voice.

               "She didn't end up with him?" He asked. "No, she died." I said. "Oh well i guess it's good i didn't finish it i wouldn't probably just cried like a girl anyways." He said. "Sports." Said Rosie. "You like sports?" Zyler asked. "Well yea, i like to make my own scientific predictions. I'm usually right. So if you want any help with your game Carter i'd be happy to help you." She said. "Maybe i'll take you up on that." Carter said thoughtfully.

               "Scooby doo. I like to watch old cartoons at night when i can't sleep. Which is often." I admitted. "Okay everybody on earth is gone. You can only pick one person to be on the earth with who do you pick?" Asked Rosie. "Let me guess Zyler, Ms Zimerman." I joked. "No, Jessica Alba." Zyler proclaimed. "Megan fox." Carter said. "Chace Crawford." Said Rosie. "Okay i'd say a cute young doctor with a matching kidney. He could tell me how to take his out. It'd be a very sexy first date. Then on our second he could put it in me. Then we'd make beautiful smart babies with good kidneys." I said.

               Rosie chuckled. "Like patrick Dempsey hot. I like that." She said. Carter thought of his question. "What happened on your worst date?" Carter asked. "Oh so i was making out with Heather Fontenaly. We had dinner it was pretty good but she picked to go to wuthering heights and it was pretty pricey but i figured she'd let me kiss her a bunch later so i was okay with it. Then her boyfriend Rod Greyson shows up. Beats the crap out of me!" Zyler exclaimed.

                 "Wait is that why you had that black eye and busted lip in tenth grade?" Carter asked. "Yep. The old light pole story." We laughed. "Okay so i went out with the girl from camp. We realized outside of camp we had NOTHING in common. We sat there the whole date in silence then when she went to reach for some bread her sleeve got caught in the candle. The waiter even dumped ice water on my pants. But the meal was free so there's that." Said Carter.

                   "I went out with this guy from another school. My cousin hooked us up. When he came to the house my mom answered the door. He thought he was going on a date with her. The whole night he kept asking about her and when he dropped me off at the door he asked for my number which i thought was sweet. It was so he could call my mom later! I was mortified." Said Rosie.

                      "Mac, he should've called your mom. She'd be interested." Zyler joked. "Ew, no. Moving on. Let me see. Oh i went out with Devin Sawna and i got locked in the bathroom. The lock just came off in my hand. And nobody came into the bathroom. I swear nobody. He thought i had ducked out on him. He still won't talk to me!!" I said laughing as the others joined in. I let out a yawn.

                     "I think tired has hit. We should get some rest." Said Rosie. "Agreed, see y'all in the morning. Love y'all." I said. They all reciprocated and we fell asleep.
