Chapter 7

-matt

She put her headphones in I guess she's not gonna talk to me. I thought to myself. I was kind of a jerk back at the hotel. Maybe I can talk to her at the rest stop. I look over and she's fast asleep I wonder who she was just texting. I just turn the radio up and drive. The next sign showed two miles to a rest stop so I got over to the far lane so I could pull in. When I parked the car all I could do was shake her awake and tell her where we were. I couldn't talk about last night yet. I still couldn't believe I had told her I was in love with her. It was definetly the truth she's all I ever thought about day and night but I wasn't going to tell her at least not like that. I knew it'd ruin our friendship and I'd rather have her as just a friend than nothing at all. I got out the car and headed in I was going to wait for her but I still needed to clear my head. I went to the rest room then to look around. I spotted her on the phone and seen tears in her eyes. I wanted to so badly run to her and embrace her tell her everything would be ok but she probably hated me now.
I turned and went to grab food by the time I got it and started to head back to where I saw her she was gone so I texted her

-hey where are you

-im in the car I've got coffee just waitng on you- was the reply I got

I put my phone away and went back to the car. I had bought her some more cigs I didn't know if she needed them or not so I handed them to her. "Did you get something to eat?" I asked her and she just shock her head no. "Why not you haven't eaten since last night your gonna make yourself sick" I said as I turned to look at her. "Oh that's what you want to talk about right, btw thank you for the smokes I was almost out" she said before turning away. "How can we talk about anything if you just keep putting you damn headphones in and ignorning me" I managed to say before getting back on the highway. It took a second but she finally looked at me with shock on her face. "Are you fucking kidding me right now? You basiclly snub me when we leave the hotel and when we stopped all you did was shook me then basically ran into the rest stop to get away from me. Sorry for thinking you didn't want to talk to me." She finally said well screamed at me. I didn't realize it until I felt the wetness on my cheek a single tear had fallen. "Look I'm sorry I was still pissed off from last night. I didn't mean to snub you in anyway and I didn't want to hurt you in anyway" I said. "Matt you didn't hurt me. I'm the one that has done nothing but constantly cause you pain. I don't see how you could be my friend let alone love me" she said struggling on the last part.
"Damn it Izzy we have been friends since kindergarden how can I not love you in every way possible. You know everything about me and more. We have been through the hardest stuff and easiest stuff but no matter how hard it got for either of us we were always there for one another. Whenever I had a girlfriend I always compared her to you. In my eyes you are absolutley perfect." I finally said and as I glanced at her I could see tears in her eyes. "Izzy please don't cry" I say as I reach over and wipe a tear away with my thumb. "Matt I wish I could say I feel the same but I don't know what real love feels like. I know I love you as a friend but I don't know how to tell if I love you as more than that" she said.
We fell silent until we got to the next rest stop. I pulled in and parked the car and Izzy started to get out before I knew it I was grabbing her hand to keep her there and using my other hand to keep her facing me as I slowly moved in and kissed her. It was a soft gentle kiss at first but it only took two seconds to heat up. One min we were kissing both still in our seats then the next she was in my lap and increasing the passion of the kiss. When we finally broke apart she was smiling and so was I. "If you didn't love me you wouldn't have kissed me that way" I said and then we realized we weren't alone we both looked out the window and started laughing and both of us turned beat red. We both clumsily climbed out of the driver side and readjusted everything. Izzy started to laugh "what? What's so funny?" I looked down and cursed and turned even brighter red. She kissed my cheek and went inside to go to the restroom.

-izzy

After we got caught and got out of the car I noticed something happened while we were makeing out, and I couldn't help but laugh. When Matt finally realized what I was laughing about he turned the brightest red I ever seen. I kissed his cheek and ran inside I had to text Cody and let him know he was right.

-cody

As I sat on the bus thinking about what I told Izzy I couldn't help but hope I gave her good advice. I don't normally get this into helping someone even a fan but there was something different about this girl. She was special and going to do amazing things if she got her life on the right track. I started to dose off when I heard my phone buzz. It was a text from Izzy

-hey cody I just wanted to tell you that you were right. We talked everything out he does love me and I love him. Thank you so much.

-no problem Izzy I'm glad things worked out. But hey I still want us three to be friends I didn't wanna just help with one problem. I want to be there for the both of you when I can- I replied makeing sure she understood I was serious about staying friends.

-thats freaking awesome. I hope sometime we can all get together and hang out.- she replied

-thatd be great. Well I'm gonna try to get a few zzzzz's in before we hit our next town.- was all I said before I shut down my phone.

I put my phone next to my pillow in my bunk and tried to sleep but of course I was to wired. So instead I pulled out a book and decided to read until I fell asleep which didn't take long.
