"i wanna be close to you"

-------------------------

"WE LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR ONE DAY AND YOU GET RIZZED UP BY WALKER FUCKING SCOBELL?" sabrina screams to the whole neighbourhood. isabella pushes away that familiar feeling as sabrina brings up leaving her alone so casually and laughs at her friends' vividly shocked reactions. felicity watches both surprised and amused - isabella doesn't know which is aimed at her.

"oh my god sab," she giggles and fixes the drawstrings on her pj shorts so they're level before looking back up. "it's way less cute when you say it like that." isabella continues to rant about this boy. "he's actually funny, he asks about my day, he tells me everything that's happening at his school. it's so much fun to talk to him; he's made the last three weeks feel like three minutes."

lissy sighs with a smile, "this is so adorable, i loved this stage with me and taylor, it's so nice when you actually connect with someone."

sab joins in, nodding her head. "preach! kieron was, like, the only other person in the world who understood my humour." isabella sighs quietly, smiling briefly. she knows it's selfish, yet she can't help but notice how quickly the conversation turned to their boyfriends once again. "i remember thinking it was the best thing in the world."

"i remember you telling us about him!" felicity adds. "you were like i MeT tHiS BoY wHo AcTuaLLy gEtS mE and me and bella just laughed at you."

"well it's true!"

bella shoves her thoughts away and laughs, "well now i get what you mean! it's actually fun to talk to someone who isn't a perverted teenage boy." to which felicity and sabrina laugh at her after looking at the other briefly. isabella smiles, contemplating to just pretend to get the joke, but she quickly ignores that idea. "what's funny?"

they look at her like she's some stupid innocent puppy. sabrina speaks up "bella girl, all boys are perverted teenage boys." isabella feels a pit in her stomach. that's so not true. walker isn't like that. "that's just the way it is, just the generation we were born into."

felicity notices her friend's now-dull face and throws an arm around her shoulder. "i know it's shit bella, but if walker makes you happy, you shouldn't let that put you off. keep talking to him if that's what you want to do."

"i don't-" bella sighs frustratedly but noticed the calm atmosphere of the room and her friends before continuing. "i don't know if we're talking." she looks up. "i don't know what we are." the two girls beside her give a knowing sad smile.

"so ask him." sabrina suggests. "you won't know if you don't ask."

isabella looks at both her friends before sighing and replacing her frown with a smile, not wanting to dampen the mood of their first sleepover in ages. "ugh, i wish he lived here. i wanna meet him so bad." bella shakes lissy's shoulder jokingly but she knows she isn't kidding.

her heart cracks a little more every time she realises how many thousands of miles away this boy is.

"i'm sure you'll meet up one day, don't worry about that." sabrina adds with a knowing smile. "i would be worrying about the fact you've left him on opened for fifteen minutes now." she smirks at isabella's guilt-ridden face as the girl picks up her phone and is immediately letting her thumbs run the marathon for her again. she types out a quick apology and reads his reply with a sigh of relief before putting her phone down and talking to her friends.

not long after, two of the trio are passed out asleep on the sofas (after both calling their boyfriends at the same time while isabella just ignored the disgustingly cute words and reluctant good nights exchanged) and the last one remains wide awake watching the movie they put on.

noticing the soft snores of her friends, isabella opens up her messages with walker. those cracks in her heart grow as she types out a text she really didn't want to. but she has to know, so she does anyway.

isabella's fingers hesitated over the keypad and she felt her breathing quicken in her chest slightly. she panicked and sent the message urgently, trying to get this conversation over with as soon as possible.

and with that, isabella shut down her phone and tossed and turned until her body finally caved in and her mind grew tired of thinking, dreaming of a certain blonde boy. she slept with the same thought racing around her head.
