School Mates

Chapter Sixteen

"Clara how are you feeling?" I asked as she fluttered her eyes open.

"Sick" she replied.

I sighed nodded.

"why did you save me Shawn? I took those pills for a reason" she said angrily.

"Because you're my bestfriend and I can't live without you. if you were to die I would kill myself because you're my everything. you're not just the girl I like, you're truly are my bestfriend" I said passionately.

"I'm gonna try again you know?" She said pulling down her sleeves.

"No you're not cause I'm gonna spend everyday with you until you're okay" I replied hugging her shoulder.

"Oh god no Shawn" she whined.

"Yes, I already packed a bag to stay for the week while your mom is out and she knows too" I replied blankly.

She moaned covering up her pale face.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

"No" she replied coldly.

I ran downstairs to make us some food for dinner. She was not down with me staying with her tonight. But I don't blame her, she doesn't want to be babysat by her bestfriend. She walked down wearing a new pair of clothes looking all snazzy.

"Where are you going?" I asked setting the ingredients on the counter.

"With Evan?" she replied in a sassy tone.

"Why?"

"Because I can" she replied pulling her jacket on. "Later"

She slammed the door behind her making me jump. I rested my face against my palms I moaned in agony. Instantly after I ate she came walking back in.

"Hey" she greeted me.

"How was your date?" I asked.

"It wasn't a date Shawn" she mumbled.

"Okay" I replied sarcastically.

she sat down next to me taking one of my cookies.

"I'm going to the gym" I said setting them down.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well whenever you're at the gym you're usually pissed" she finished.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"I'm not mad this time" I said grinning.

She smiled and nodded. I grabbed my stuff and headed out to my car.

I lifted the heavy weight past my shoulders. a couple girls were staring and giggling at me. but oddly enough, I didn't want to socialize with any one, any girl. when I finished up I headed back to Claras house to take a shower. I walked in a found her asleep on the couch. I walked up to her and felt her wrist looking for her pulse. thankfully it was there. I covered her with a blanket kissing her forehead.

"Shawn" she moaned still asleep.

I chuckled shaking my head. she moved back in forth scrunching her nose.

"No!" She yelled.

I held her hand sitting on the table next to her. she fluttered her eyes open as tears fell.

"Shawn"

"Clara, you okay?" I asked.

She sat up and wiped her eyes.

"I'm fine I just had a bad dream" she replied.

"Clara I've been doing a lot of thinking, I love you so much and not just as a friend. you mean the world to me. and I just want you to be mine already" I said squeezing her hands.

She smiled. she pecked my lips holding my shoulders for balance.

"I love you too Shawnie"
