As soon as we pull up at my house, I get out the car, grab my stuff and run inside up to my room and shut the door. I throw my stuff on the floor and I run over to my record collection. I quickly look through my records for the song. I find the disc and begin to play it. I lay on the floor and just look at the ceiling.
"I dont even know what to feel at this point, why am I even sad that he said friends with benefits. I just will ignore everyone, I wont answer their texts. I dont NEED TO." I say to myself.
I hear the door creak open and I look to see. It's my mom and stepmom. I move from the floor to my bed.
"So what happened at school?" Says my parents as they join me on my bed.
"Well... it's kinda hard to explain how I felt." I say.
"Its okay take your time, we will be downstairs when your ready." Says my mom.
They leave my room and shut the door. I lay on my bed and think about how I should tell them. Then my phone starts buzzing. I check to see who it is and its Oliver. I decide to pick it up this time and he sounds worried.
"What did this jerk do, are you alright, what happend?" He piles up the questions.
"Im alright and I'm pretty sure its my fault, he said that we should be friends with benefits." I say.
"See dude it's not all that ba-" he says.
"But I felt like I wanted to be more with him." I say.
"Oh shit, I'm pretty sure he does too, hes just probably not ready for a relationship yet." He says.
"Maybe. But I'm gonna get his ass back I'm going to prank his ass so hard." I respond.
"I texted my mom that I needed to come home and she got me and now I'm at home a emotional mess over some dumb football player." I complain.
"Well its alright tell me when your going to do that prank I'll research about some but, your parents are worried too they came calling me, I'll leave you alone for a bit but if you need anything, text or call me." He says as the call ends.
Not even 3 minutes after ending the call I hear footsteps running up. I hear my door open and tears fill up in my eyes. I turn to look and its my step mom.
"Hey, Adam I never knew you felt like that." She says as she sits on my bed.
"Yea." I say blankly.
"Wanna talk about it over some ice cream, its just me and you here I sent your mom off to go shopping." She says smiling at me.
I nod. We both begin to walk downstairs and she goes straight to the ice cream and hands me the tub and gets herself a pint. We sit and chat and cry a bit, she tells me stuff I've never knew before and I tell her stuff she never knew. It was basically a whole bonding moment,I walk back up to my room and I chill there until I hear some sounds from downstairs.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
3 loud bangs on what sounded like our door. I stay in my room and hear chattering. I dont make sense of it and go back to what I was doing. Not soon after that I hear 3 knocks at my door. I get up to open it thinking it's my mom but no, its Liam. He stands in front of me looking down on me. I look like a mess I got icecream on my face still, my hair is staticky and I'm dressed in no shirt and sweatpants.
"Hey um I would li-" he says as the door shuts in his face.
I am not going to do this today. I go to sit on my bed and my door opens again.
"I told you to leave me alon-" I start.
I turn to look and it's my mom.
"He came over here to talk to you, use this to tell him how you feel. I'm gonna leave the house to give yall some privacy. Just text me when to come back, and if you dont text me by 9:30 I'm just gonna come home." She says.
She leaves my room, leaving me stuck on that thought. Should I really tell him, what if he doesnt want to be with me, what if he lies to me? All of these questions start to go throughout my head. I hear a knock and he walks in.
"Um, hi again adam." He says as he goes to sit on my bed with me.
I dont even look at him, I cant it's too hard my little heart would break. Hes the peak of perfection, I mean all the girls like him.
"Hey so I'm sorry for whatever I d-" He starts.
"No I'm sorry. I shouldnt have ran out on you like a jerk. I was just being a little baby. My fucking emotions had gotten the best of me." I say.
I can feel the tears wielding up in my eyes, but I try my best to hold them back.
"Let me finish first." He says in his stern voice.
I realize I havent looked at him, I do a quick glance at him and I see him wiping his eyes.
"The real reason I came here was to actually say something big. I got the text from Oliver and your mom. If you would have just told me how you really felt at that point and time, I would have said yes. But you just let my opinion get to you, I never said I would just want to be that and that's it. I said it as a suggestion." He goes off.
I look so fucking dumb. My dumb ass didnt listen to a single word he said at the bathroom. All my ears heard was " I wanna be friends with benefits." And he didnt say that.
"Oh ok." I say, I dont like this I can feel him looking at me.
"Oh ok? That's all you have to say! I come over to YOUR HOUSE, to confess to YOU, to check up on YOU, and I get a Oh okay? Listen Adam, I may seem like I second guessed my self but I think I even fell in LOVE WITH YOU!" He says. I can hear his voice breaking.
I turn to look at him and see his head in his hands. What have I done. I've made the toughest guy in our school, the football captain, CRY. What. The. Fuck. I dont even know what to do. I guess its my turn now.
"Hey, Liam. Listen, I would want to be with you, I mean I love watching you play football, I love hanging out with you, I mean I took the time to crush on you. Well when you suggested how we could be friends with benefits, I just wasnt thinking I was making up my own shit in my head, what I had heard was that was all you wanted to be. Then I had called Oliver and told him and he said maybe you wernt ready for it, a relationship. I actually kinda believed it, because it seemed like you would think like that. I mean all your friends don't know your bi, your the captain of a football team. Like what else. This all wouldn't happen I wouldnt be a mess if I had just listened or confessed in that bathroom." I say.
Now we both have tears rolling down our faces. Then I remember him saying that he liked a song called, what was it, oh yea "Red means I love you." and I bought it a couple days ago because I wanted to listen to it. I run over where my songs are and I find it. I place it on the player and let it play as I sit back on the bed with him. He turns to look at me.
He sniffles and wipes his tears away.
"You remembered that old song?" He says snickering.
"Yea, I did." I say.
I check the time and its 7:30Pm. There's like a 2 hours left before my parents get back. I turn and hug him. I could feel his arms go in the air before he hugs me back.
"Wanna go finish that ice cream?" I recommend.
"Yea." He says.
"Okay, let me get some spoons and the carton." I say.
I run downstairs and get the carton and spoons. I get back to my room and see hes found a movie and is going through my closet. He didnt react to me walking in so he must have not heard me. I sit on my bed under the blankets.
"Come on, and stop being nosey" I say
He immediately noticed I've been here for a bit and he sits next to me. We sit down under my dim orange lights eating ice cream and watching a movie. We get done with the carton and throw it away. I lay down to watch the movie and soon after he follows. I begin to doze off and end up snoring and falling asleep. Next thing I know were under the covers fast asleep with the movie playing.
