Just friends?

Chapter 60

Pierre looks at me. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it's okay, you can call them."

"Okay, do you want to stay here on the couch, while I restock some stuff?"

"Hmhm."

"Okay, I'll call Charles and Lando then."

I put on my music and lay down.

PIERRE POV

I just don't understand, how people can say that. Do they not see what Sky has been through. That what they say can really trigger people. I hear the bell ringing.

"Hey."

"Hey Charles, hey Lan."

"How's Sky doing?"

"She's asleep now." I start to cry. "I just don't understand."

Charles pulls me with him on a chair, while Lando hugs Sky and lays down next to her. "Nobody does Pierre."

"She almost killed herself! I came home, and the panic in her voice was so big. And she sat there, her gaze burned into the kitchen."

"It's alright Pierre, try to calm down a little."

SKY POV

I wake up, and I feel Lando next to me.

"Hey, are you awake?"

"Hm."

"I'll take that as a yes. How are you doing?"

"It's okay." I see Pierre with red eyes, and I shoot up, but Lando slowly pulls me down. "Are you okay Pierre?"

He nods. "Just curious, nothing big, but how do you notice the difference between me and Lando lying next to you? I mean you didn't turn and kiss him like you always do with me."

"Thanks for the details mate, I really needed them."

"Stop acting like a baby Lando. It's really easy Pierre, the difference between you and Lan. Your arms wrap around me more lovely, Lando is more friendship."

He walks to me, and gives me a hug.

"Don't pretend like you're perfectly fine Pierre."

"I am."

"Friends don't lie, I can see your legs shaking."

"Can I lay down?"

I look at Lando, who understands and walks over to Charles, so that Pierre can lay down next to me. I wrap my arms tight around him, and I feel his tears in my neck. "It's fine Pierre, it's all okay. Let it go."

"Why are people so mean?"

"I don't know Pierre, I really don't. But I'm alive and next to you okay? It's going to be okay."

In the meantime it got really dark outside, and we didn't notice. I look outside when I hear the big raindrops outside. "Oh I'm so sorry Charles and Lando, you should've been home."

"No it's fine, really."

I hear the thunder in the distance. Lando grabs my hand and pulls me outside. "I know what you want."

We sit down next to each other on the balcony, and later, when the thunder is close Pierre and Charles join too, with blankets and some snacks.

"You really enjoyed it outside."

"Yes, how do you know?" Me and Pierre lay down in bed, the thunderstorm is over, but it's still raining so Charles is on the couch and Lando is asleep in the guest room.

"I could see it on you, the way you were fascinated by it, why do you enjoy it so much?"

"There are people that find it scary, but I don't think that it is."

"Is there more?"
