Fast

Chapter 2

Ellie's p.o.v. :

Dang it. Why couldn't I just tell her? I tell her everything, why not this?

I lay in my bed thinking about how I'm supposed to tell my bestfriend that I am in love with her.

I'm not sure what time it was but I finally fell asleep because now I'm being shaken awake by Kacey.

"Ellie! Wake up" she exclaimed carrying out the 'u'

"I'm awake" I groaned pulling the blanket over my head.

She pulled the blanket off the bed "Ellie Moore it in ten in the morning and we have things to do today. Wake up, woman!"

"Okay, Okay" I got up walking to the closet to get a change of clothes. Kacey was already dressed and clearly already had her morning two cups of coffee. I had grabbed a pair of black leggings and a light pink hoodie and went in the bathroom to change and brush my teeth.

Five minutes later I had changed and brushed my teeth, I walked out of the bathroom and Kacey was sitting on the side of her bed with her shoes already on her feet (not on the bed) scrolling on her phone. I went back to the closet and grabbed my shoes, slipped them on, and we were out the door on our way to our first arrand of the day: the grocery store.

At the store we got mostly snacks and ramen since we both got meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner through the school. We headed back to the dorm to drop off the food then headed back out to the Target to grab some last minute school supplies and dorm essentials since we will be busy with school work and jobs throughout the week.

While we were in Target I told Kacey I was going to go find a certain blanket for my bed while she was getting some notebooks and a binder and I would meet her in the isle with the writing supplies.

I walked over trying to think of a way to tell her I love her. I passed the flowers and chocolate and thought about doing something like that but it felt to cheesy. I continued walking until I got to the candles and saw one that said 'I love you' that also felt a little cheesy but I got it anyway and hurried to pay for it before I meet her at the pens.

As I was walking over to meet her, I was thinking how I was going to talk to her, I decided I would talk to her tonight for sure since tomorrow is Monday we have all different classes so I would be able to avoid her during the day until we go back to the dorm in case things do go as plan.

"Oh whatcha got?" Kacey asked as I walked toward her

"Nothin'" I shrugged "I'll show you later"

"Oh alright" she went back to picking out her pens. That's one thing I've always liked about her, she is so picky about what pens she gets. I guess growing up drawing all the time does that to you.

"Got 'em" she interrupted my thoughts and we headed to pay for out supplies.

We got back to the dorm and quickly got our things in our bags and ready for tomorrow. After I finished getting my things done, Kacey still working on hers, another thing about her, she likes to have her things perfectly organized just for her to mess it up within a few days. I go over to the kettle and fill it with water to boil so I can just make us ramen for dinner.

Ten minutes later we are once again sitting on the floor on top of a blanket eating our food, only thins time it is silence, but not awkward just comfortable. I sit there eating with my hands shaking thinking about how after we finish eating and take out trash to the trash cans, I'm going to finally tell her how I feel about her.

I have felt this way for her since highschool. I, aswell as our other friends and my parents, thought it would just phase out. Nope. Here I am four and a half years later with the same feeling about to tell her how I feel.

We finish eating and it is my turn to take the trash so I take it outside. Thankfully the trash is only a couple feet away from our dorm so it doesn't take long. I walk back in the dorm and Kacey had folded the blanket and put it back under my bed and she was now laying in her bed reading 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban' a book she has read a thousand times, she claims that it is her favorite.

"Kacey" I say getting her attention and walking to the middle of the room "Can you come here a second?"

"Yeah sure" she stands up next to me "What's up?"

"I need to tell you something and I don't want to to freak out or run" I say knowing when she gets scared she runs, disappears for a bit.

"Is this about groceries again?" she laughed

"No" I whispered, she stopped laughing and got serious

"Are you okay" she asked concerned "What happened?"

"I've known you since.. well forever" I started and she looked confused to I quickly continued before I backed out again "I can't imagine my life without you"

"Me either" she said slightly smiling but I could tell she was still confused on where this was all coming from.

"Here it goes" I took a deep breath "I'm in love with you, I have been for a long time and I understand if you don't feel the same way I-" I was cut off with a kiss. I was soft, something I had always wanted. After what felt like forever of just taking each other in, she broke it.

"I love you too, Ellie" she breathed 

We each took a turn in the bathroom to change and brush our teeth. We set out outfits for tomorrow and layed down for bed, both on her small bed and soon fell asleep in each others arms.
