     ITS NOW EIGHT OCLOCK AND everyone went out except me and chris. i've been here for three days and i haven't talked to chris since the other day when we got into it. i feel like i should go to talk to him.

i lean against the door frame and knock. "chris?"

"hm?"

"can i come in?"

"yeah." i push open his door and see him laying on his bed under the covers.

"hey." i say as i lay down on the bed next to him.

"look i'm sorry about yesterday. i overstepped some boundaries."

"no chris. i overreacted. i got mad because you didn't tell me about leah but it doesn't matter because you're right, we're nothing more than friends."

"emory, i don't want to be just friends."

"well i guess it sucks you have a girlfriend then." i say finishing it off with a sigh.

after a few minutes of silence chris speaks up. "can i talk to you about something?" he ask looking over at me.

"sure." i say nodding my head.

"so leah has been mentioning hooking up. we've been together for a year now. she however already lost her virginity and i haven't. i just feel like i'm not ready enough for her." he says.

i just nod and pay attention. i've never had sex. i don't know what the hell to do.

"what do i do?"

great.

"i'm a virgin." i just shout it out. he looks at me. i look at him. this is awkward. say something, say something.

"can i kiss you?" he ask. i pull my eyes brows together. i thought we've talked about this. "you're with leah. no you can't kiss me."

"why?" he leans in closer. why? what is wrong with this man. obvious reasons why. my heart starts racing the closer he gets to me. i shouldn't do this. i really shouldn't. this is going to be bad. really really bad.

i push his face away with my hand. "no chris. i'm sorry"

he throws his hands up. "i respect whatever you want, and i'll wait until you're ready."

he grabs me and pulls me down to him.

i curl into chris and he wraps his arms around me. and start to think. he's not mine. he's my best friend. "what do we do christopher?" i trace shapes on his stomach.

"i don't want to talk about it emory. let's just enjoy our time together before they all get back." he squeezes my shoulders and kisses the side of my head.

i know what we're doing is bad, but right now it feels good. it felt like hours went by before i got a text from paytyn letting me know there on there way back. i slip out from under chris's arm wrapped around me. he looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.

i head back to my room and pull on pajamas. i run downstairs and sit on the couch just as they start to unlock the door. perfect timing.

everyone walks through the door drunk except leah. "no leah?" i ask hugging my knees to my chest.

"no she stayed behind to help clean up. she said she'd be back over later." nick says.

i nod my head and press my lips together. after a few minutes everyone piles back into the living room to watch a new scary movie. i'm not sure which one but one. paytyn curls up with matt and nick curls up with me. he's definitely my bestie.

chris comes down immediately after in just black sweatpants with no shirt.

he smirks at me and slightly grazes my arm. the power this kid holds over me. i roll my eyes and tell pagie to shut the lights off. which she does. as nick curls up to me i curl up to chris. it's dark and the cover over us really helps.

it seems like it was only a few minutes before the door opened revealing leah. i jump up off chris and put all my weight on nick causing him to laugh. i punch his shoulder to shut him up and he gives me the "what the hell" look. i point my finger at him and narrow my eyes.

"sorry i'm late baby. it was really messy at the house. they needed help picking up." she says going and sitting on chris.

"no it's fine. i missed you." he says kissing her. i squeeze my eyes shut and look away. i knew he wasn't going to leave her or lose his feelings for her.

he just told me he'd wait for me and how he wanted to kiss me.

but he misses her.

i roll my eyes and open up my phone snapping a picture of be and nick captioning it "friday night frights with my fav sturniolo" and post it on snap. my phone goes off and i open it to a text.

thicky nicky

thicky nicky

i shut my phone off and shake my head. only nick would know.
