Ciaran, Matt, Tavia, Ian, and I sat in my room as 'iris' by the goo goo dolls blasted through my record player. "I've always loved this song" ian said as he played with the corner of my sheet on my bed. "Me too" Ciaran and I said at the same time.

"Awwww" matt said and I shot him a death glare. "What you guys are so cute" He said. "Shut the fuck up" Ciaran said and I laughed. "Anyway let's go to a drive-in movie" I said. "What's even playing?" Ian asked.

"I don't know, lets find out when we get there come on" I said. "Ciaran and I are taking my car" I said and tavia gave me a thumbs up. I put my shoes on and grabbed my keys off of my dresser.

I climbed into the driver seat and before I started the car I sent the location to matt so he knew where to drive and then I pulled out of the driveway. "Hey marce?" Ciaran asked. "hm?" I said focusing on the road.

"Remember when we were 15 and I accidentally spilt the punch on you at homecoming?" he asked and I nodded my head. "I did it on purpose" he said and as a red light came into view I stopped the car. "Fuck you, I knew it" I said.

" I spent 3 weeks getting that out of that dress ciaran, why" I said. "No clue" he said and I chuckled. "You're horrible" I said. "That was our first fight" He said. I put my hand back on the wheel as the light turned green.

"Okay, remember my 18th birthday?" I asked and he hid his face in his hands. "Holy shit" he said. "You puked all over me" I laughed. "God, that's the most embarrassing thing i've done yet" he said, his face a light red.

I pulled up next to the ticket booth and rolled my window down. I looked at the list of movies playing and whispered to ciaran. "tag?" I asked and he nodded his head. "Can I get five tickets for tag please" I said pulling out my wallet to pay for the tickets.

"The car behind me is with us by the way" I said as he passed me the tickets. I drove off and found a nice spot to park and ciaran and I both got out of the car. "Movie starts in 10" I said handing matt, tavia, and ian their tickets.

"Im gonna go get snacks, what do you want?" I asked ciaran. "Ill go with you" he said. We walked over the the little shop. "Hi" I said politely to the employee. "Welcome, what can I get you?" he asked.

"Uhmm 1 large popcorn, 2 cokes and a water please" I said. I pulled my wallet out of my pocket and ciaran lightly hit my hand. "You paid for tickets, let me do this one" he said and I smiled. "$10.02" he said and ciaran handed him the money.

As I grabbed the pop corn off the counter he spoke again. "Hey uh are you two together?" he asked. "Oh- no. no no we're- we're just friends" I said. "Could I..you know get your number?" he asked. "The movie is starting marceline" ciaran said with a hint of attitude in his voice.

"She's seeing someone" ciaran said grabbing my arm softly as we walked to the car and I stopped him. "What the hell was that ciaran?" I asked annoyed. "That guy was weird" he said. "Literally no he was not what is wrong with you" I said.

"God just drop it marceline. Come on" he said as he took off walking again. I scoffed and walked behind him. I sat in the trunk next to him and sat with my knees against my chest as the opening scene played.

Why was he being like that? Guys have hit on me before but he has never done that.

About 30 minutes had passed and I guess ciaran had noticed my gloomy face and he tapped me softly. "You okay marcey?" he asked and I just nodded my head. "No you're not, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Are you jealous or something ciaran?" I asked. "No. Why do you think that?" he asked. "Every time a guy even looks at me you pull me away" I said. "Well I think that you should find someone good enough for you" he said.

"Then why can't you let me be the judge of that?" I asked and he sighed. "Can we just watch the movie?" he asked. "I never do that to you" I said. "What about your whole thing with mia?" he asked.

"Well mia is a piece of shit who treated you horribly" I said. "Well it's my job as your best friend to protect you" he said. "That's not protecting ciaran, that's possesing" I said. "Marceline can we please not do this right now?" he asked.

"Do what?" I asked. "this" he said. "No, it needs to be talked about" I said. He got up out of the trunk and went in the passenger seat. "Come on" he said and I scrunched my eyebrows before hoping out and closing the trunk. I got into the driver seat and he pressed the light to turn on.

"Marcey" he said nervously. "Yeah?" I asked.

"Im in love with you"

am I dreaming or something?

"What" I said. "I've been in love with you since 8th grade marceline" he said and I put my face in my hands, shaking my head. "No ciaran, we are best friends" I said anxiously. "And nothing has to change" he said. "Everything changes ciaran" I said.

"Well I needed to get it off my chest, ive been holding it for so long. If you don't feel the same th-" I cut him off by pressing my lips against his.

His lips were soft. He tasted of mint and cigarettes. The kiss felt like what I imagine heaven feeling like. His hand softly cupped my face and mine did the same with his.

I snapped back into reality and pulled away. "Fuck. Fuck Fuck oh my god. No ciaran we cant do this" I said gesturing between the two of us. "Marce-" "Can we just go please?" I asked and he nodded his head.

I started the car and pulled out of the lot. The ride was completely silent. Only an awkward silence was in the air.

I pulled into the driveway and ciaran opened the passenger door and went into the house as I sat in the car. Why would you do that marceline? I scolded myself.

I got out of the car and walked into the house. Throwing my keys on the counter and going upstairs to my room. I shut the door and changed into my pajamas. I looked over on my desk at a picture of ciaran and I at our senior prom.

I walked over to it and laid it down so the picture wasn't visible and laid down on my bed.
