Addicted to you. Hosie / Hizzie

I've just fucked up

I rush after her, checking everywhere... of course she wasn't in class.

Eventually shooting up a quick locator spell, I was hoping to god she hadn't gone anywhere.

It pointed to somewhere I hadn't been in a while... the treehouse.

Instantly changing direction and dropping everything to go find her, I know I'd fucked up... but I was determined to make this right no matter how long this took.

I didn't want Josie... that time had passed.

And sure enough moments later I hear a crying sound coming from the distance...I knew Josie meant no harm... but it sure as hell meant something.

Walking past a couple trees as I stand there, arms crossed as I set my eyes upon Lizzie, crying, head in her hands as she continuously lighting a stick on fire.

I hated how I'd done this... I knew I was bound to get a detention for skipping, maybe multiple but I'd do that time and time again.

"Lizzie" I sigh as I greet her.

"Oh fuck off" Lizzie's first words entertain.

"Why are you crying" I ask, taking a seat next to her... not to close as I'd be the next thing she'd set on fire.

"hmm I don't know... the girl who I've uprooted my school life for... ditching my boyfriend of nearly a decade for... I just found out slept with my sister. So I don't know, I'm kind of pissed" Lizzie harshly responds.

I totally agree.

"I'm glad it happened" I say out of no where.

The way she looked at me like she wanted me dead.

"Are you serious" Lizzie stands up ready to leave.

"No... no not for that reason... Look. It was obvious from the beginning how I felt about Josie... I was in love with her for a while... but then I met you... the real you. Yeah you're right... I fucked up, I slept with her. But in the end up it clarified something for me" I begin to explain.

"And don't get me wrong... it was nice. But it was missing something, something felt off about it. I just figured it was the awkwardness... but it wasn't. It really just summed up the fact that whatever I felt for Josie is gone. And you know why that is"

"Because every time you look at me, I feel like a kid again with a new crush, Every time you kiss me... it feels electric... I crave it... And when I saw you in tears today... I can only explain what I felt as ..true pain... I've come to realise that its because I'm so into you that everyone and everything else that happens is meaningless..."

"Its like Josie was saying... I can't get YOU out of my head. No matter how hard I try, everything I do, you're there and you're not going away" I finish off.

There she stood, speechless, almost about to cry once more.

I grasp her hands in mine as I finish it off.

"I'd be lying if I said that last night I wasn't wishing I was right there with you. Its you..." I reply out of breath, becoming a little teary myself.

"I hate you" Lizzie chokes on her tears.

"I know you do".

Resting my forehead on hers as I look into her broken eyes.

"So what... You come apologise to me and go back to sleeping with Josie?" lizzie hisses.

"Right after I get back, I'm going to go to Josie's room and tell her I can't do whatever this was... Tell her that I'm falling so hard for a girl that the thought of her doesn't even cross my mind" I whisper.

Lizzie was the one to make a move, bending down a little to swiftly connect her lips with mine.

"I won't mention you... as thats your decision... but I sure as hell won't let you get hurt" I speak up.

I begin to walk off.

"Hope" Lizzie's voice calls out.

Twirling me as our bodies are pressed against each other.

"Good luck" Lizzie whispers softly.

To which I nod... I was about to make everything right.
