One, Two, Three

Chapter eleven

"One,

Two,

Three."

I whisper to myself. I'm alone. In the woods. What could possibly go wrong? How cool would it be if a psycho killer comes out of the tree house and slits my throat. That would be pretty bad ass. Sadly it seems like that's not happening. I walk around the tree house to the tire swing. I sit down and a million memories raced through my head. It's like they all tried to get out at once. The first time I met Jack was here, we were playing superheroes and we heard someone crying. So we went to check it out and there sat lil' Jacky because he lost his mommy. The time when Jack pushed me off the top branch of the tree and I almost died because of blood lose and a concussion. I was stabbed by a broken log. It had a branch sticking out of it. I fell right on top and it stabbed through my leg. I get off of the swing and walk over to the log and sit down. The time I knocked Romeos teeth out with a basketball. It wasn't my fault. He had really slow reflexes. I look at a patch of Lilly's. I planted them there, just for my mom. Lilly's were her favorites. She died when I was 7 years old. I cried for months, and Romeo was right by my side the whole time. She died of breast cancer. My thoughts were interrupted by a voice and a shadow. "Hey." Is all it says. I look up from the leafy ground. I see Romeo. I stand up and give him a hug. "I've missed you. I know it's only been like three days but that's the longest we've gone without talking." I say to him as I let go of his neck. "I know. I missed you too."he says pulling my body close to his." I never wanna go that long without talking to you again." I push him away before something starts. Just my luck Jack comes on time for once and sees us. "What's wrong?" He asks me pushing my hair behind my ear. I look down the street to see if Jacks coming. Nope. "Nothing, what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask trying to change the subject. "Oh, umm... well I wanted to talk about us." He says as his face gets red and you can feel him getting warmer. "Oh. What about us?" I ask leaning up agents a tree. He puts his hand around my waist and pulls me in. I look down the road and just my luck Jack is coming up the road. But he hasn't seen us. So I push Romeo of and shout out for Jack. "Hey, Jack." I say running up to him and grabbing his hand before he could turn around. I drag Jack over to the log and sit him down. I push Romeo down on the log too. Jack try's to get so I sit of him. I know Romeo won't leave but Jack is a shot in the dark. "Get off of my baby." He says trying to act like he doesn't enjoy me sitting on his lap. "No, I love you guys and I can't stand it when you two fight. So no one is leaving until you two make up. Got it?" I say crossing my legs. No one talks for the first couple minutes. But once I kick Romeo in the leg and get him to talk. "I'm sorry, man." He says still looking at the ground. "Porsche can I leave?" He asked. My mouth dropped. That's the first time in forever he has called me by my name. It's always babe or baby. "Did you just say what I think you said?" I ask. "What? I said your name." He says giving me the weird look. Like I was the one who did something out of the ordinary. "Yea. That's not ok. I'm babe or baby. You haven't called me Porsche for like years." I say turning to face him. "But anyway. Jack why won't you forgive Romeo and me?" I ask. It's the big question that I wanna know. "I'm not mad at you Porsche-"I cut him off. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I yell at him." I'M FUCKING BABY/BABE!" I get off his lap. I start moving my hands around and waving them around. "Why won't you forgive him?! Really Jack! You two are like brothers! You have known each other forever! We have all been friends nothing is gonna change that! Please Jack ju-" Jack cuts me off by grabbing my wrist. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to get rid if my bracelets. He pulls me over to where there is sun light and takes a long hard look at them. I'm fucking busted.
