Three

I woke up to loud terrible music blaring through my ears. "Cause your hot and your cold, your yes and your no-" "If you don't turn off that music I'm gonna shove that phone so far up your a-" "ah, language" a deep and familiar voice says. After a minute I realized who the voice belonged to and just who was blaring the awful music in my ears. Danny. "Danny, get out. Don't come back until hell freezes over" I state harshly. "Come on, Elizabeth Spencer Berton. I'm bored" oh. he. shouldn't. have. said. my. full. name. I jumped out of bed and tackled him onto the ground. "Don't ever say my full name again" I say as I punch him over and over again. "Get off me you heathen!" he says as he flips me over, reversing roles. He pins my wrists to the ground and I struggle to get out of his iron grip. "If you don't get off me now, I will scream rape. Then you'll really be in trouble." "you're bluffing" I squint my eyes and jut my head forward, leaving a small space in between us and I say "Try me" he opens his eyes wide and jumps off me as quickly as one could. He reaches out his arm to help me up and I gladly accept. "So, what do you want to do today?" I look at him and narrow my eyes "Sleep, sleep, and oh that's right SLEEP" "You're no fun, dude" "and you're immature" I say as I brush through my thick dark brown hair. "Get out. I need to get dressed." He nods and scurries out of my room. I slide off my shorts and put on my black ripped up skinny jeans, then I throw on my over sized sweatshirt. "You can come back in." he opens the door and I noticed the wide smile on his face, but before I could say anything he beat me to it. "you know, your mom is great!" he laughs "Yah, I know.  She gave birth to your best friend" he smiles a bit but the smile fades when he says "I wish my mother was as open and as hilarious as yours" he says as he plops down on my bed next to me. His mom use to be like my mom before her daughter Melody died and her and he husband got a divorce. Due to the fact that Melody's death was Mr. Grays fault. He had been drinking an driving with Melody, their 4 year old daughter in the front seat. He was pretty banged up, but not as bad as Melody was. only 1 hour after being in the hospital Melody passed. No family or mother should have to go through that kind of loss. "Your mother has had it rough this passed year, Danny. Also, you know you are always welcome to stay here if you cant handle staying with your mom" Now I know what you're thinking, . Who in their right mind would let their daughter spend the night with a guy? Well Danny and I have been the best of friends since kindergarten, and not once have we had any feelings for each other regarding love, and we are currently Juniors in High school. Therefore my mom trusts Danny and I. "But I've had it rough too, I lost my little sister. My dad. And on top of it all, I found out I ha- could have had cancer. Not once have I let myself fall into a depression like her" his eyes began to flood with tears. He's right though, he's had it rough this passed year too. "Look, I agree with you. You've had a rough time as well, and it sucks. But you cant compare yourself to your mom. People handle things differently. You cant judge your mom, she lost her daughter, and her husband. Of course she is going to shut down" he looks over trying not to look at me and says something, so quietly I almost missed it. "She still has her son" Instead of replying with words, I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I loved you, Liz" he whispers quietly in my ear. I'm used to him telling me he loves me, but something about this was different. It was almost as if he meant it in a different way. I pulled away from the hug and looked into his eyes. Trying to see how his meant that, but he had already put strong barriers up. Blocking me out. "I love you too" I smile slightly. "Can I stay the night?" I nod and clap my hands "Yay, sleepover!" I yell and then hit him in the shoulder with a pillow.___________________________________________
