The Other Team

treehouse

I'm able to wiggle out of Clarissa's grip. I look at the time, 6:32. Good, that's a reasonable time to leave the house. I tie my vans, and sneak out of the room. Then an idea comes to head. Me and J Jane found this old 'treehouse' in the woods, granted it was like a foot off the ground but i liked to call it a tree house. Jane said it was a shack. We kinda made it our 'clubhouse' per say. That's where we would hangout most the time. I haven't been there in so long, I might as well check it out see if the weather had gotten to it yet.

Walking outside at 6:30 in the mourning isn't that bad. It just feels so wrong to be outside this early and not be going to school. No one's outside everybody sleeping. It's really quiet but i enjoy the quiet. But the quiet isn't that nice in the middle of the woods, then I see it. The treehouse! It's completely fine? Even the blankets are clean and there is a bag of Doritos opened.  "what are you doing out here" a voice says behind me. I turn around surprised. It was Jane? Why is Jane out here. "Oh my fucking god Jane, don't sneak up on me like that." I turn around. Why is everyone always scaring me. 

"Just wanted to be alone I guess" I say while looking back into the shack/treehouse. "really, thought you could go hangout with your girlfriend." Jane says sourly, while walking into the treehouse. I ignore the comment, "why do you come out here" I ask. "nostalgia? reminds me of you" she replies and lays down on the blankets in the fort staring at the ceiling of the fort. "aww, you like to think about me?" I ask. I sit down next to her on my side of the blanket here i used to sit. "shut up" Jane says. "why aren't you spending time with Clarissa though, thought you were head over heels for her." Why is she acting so different, she sounds mad at me. "why do you care so much, also why are mad at me I didn't do anything." i ask her sitting up soon she follows. Now she's facing me directly. "I just think you can do better, maybe date someone who knows you better." Jane looks away. 

I finally realize, she's jealous. "No way... you're jealous" I say smirking. "okay yeah maybe i am jealous" Jane admits. "Why are you jealous, do you like Clarissa?" i ask her. "No. Max, It's you! It's always been you!" Jane yells. She stands up. "Max, how have you not realized yet!" I stand up to meet her eyes. 

"I love you! I have since I met you!"

"I've love you since we were friends since we weren't. Then you go get with some random ass girl that you don't even know, and ditch me again and again to go hang out with her. What does she know about you? I know you so much better, I've been in your life we grew up together. I even watched all of your football games just to see you again. I even joined some stupid ass football team to be able to see you again. I was there for you when your mom overdosed, I was there for you when you fell off that damn skateboard... 

"Max, I just love you!"
