Somethings are Meant to be Saved

He's sitting on the couch but he looks like
his blood is boiling. When I look at him a flash of memory goes through me, OH MY GOD I KISSED HIM LAST NIGHT. That's why he was asking me if I remembered anything. SHIT. Oh...oh no...it was a good kiss. Great kiss, oh my god you idiot. I try not to freak out "I'll be back"

I don't even wait for him to respond, I run
upstairs to Flynn's room and barge into it, closing the door behind me. "What's wrong?" He knows it's me because I never knock. He's sitting at his desk in front of his PC. "Flynn, I did something really stupid" he puts his headphones down and swivels his chair to look at me. "Oh god- did you kiss Mark?"
This time he's not wrong so I can't even be mad at him. I pinch my lips together and run to his bed belly flopping onto it. "Oh shit- you did?! You finally did it?!" I lift my head and look at him. "One issue.." he gets out of his chair and sits on the bed.
I sit crisscross in front of him. "What's the issue? Was it bad?! Was it gross?!" I laugh a little and then groan, putting my head in my hands. "No- it was really good...like probably the best kiss I've ever had. But I was drunk.." he blinks "you drank?!" He says, looking at me. "Yes idiot I drank, don't tell mom and dad please." He nods "ok, so you were drunk, does he know you remember it?" I shake my head "no I literally just remembered it" he takes a breath. "Well, do you think you like him?!" I don't know...he's my best friend. "I don't know, and I don't want to ruin what we already have" he groans.
"Mazie- listen to me" I straighten up and look at him. "Listening" he takes a breath. "That guy down there, he's been best friends with you since you guys were 3. He's been with you through everything, I don't think a kiss will change that. I'm going to tell you something and I don't want you to freak out ok?"
I nod slowly, he puts his hands on my shoulders. "I'm pretty sure that dude is in love with you. Have you seen the way he looks at you?!" I drop my head and groan. "No Flynn he does not..." he drops his hands from my shoulders "DUDE!!!! DID HE KISS YOU BACK?!" I put my pointer finger to his mouth. "Shut up- and yes he did, and then he pushed me away because I was drunk. He said he didn't want me doing something I would regret later." He grabs my wrist and pulls my hand away from his mouth. "Ok so can you please just talk to him! I'm 13 and I'm not your therapist" I sigh "yes you are you're the best therapist."
I smile and riffle his hair. "Shut up, just talk to him, please- I'm begging you" I roll my eyes. "Ok ok fine I will... at some point." He groans and gets off the bed going back to his PC he puts on his headphones, one of them off his ear and then looks at me. "Just- don't be scared about how you feel, figure it out and then just accept it please." He turns towards his screen and starts his game back up. I lay on his bed for a couple seconds and think about everything. Shit I still need to fix my necklace.
