Different

Chapter 22

Heaven's P.O.V

Today is the day. My friends are leaving. Yesterday we spent the day just chilling at the house. We were watching movies and shows, and we watched the video Kayla got me of pictures of all us throughout the years. It was the greatest thing ever. And Taylor, Karlie, and Cara left us for the day, so we could spend our last day together by ourselves. We just ate popcorn and candy all day. It was the best.

I was up making breakfast for everybody before we leave for the airport. I let out a small squeal when I felt hands snake around my waist from behind. "Hey," I heard Will say from behind me without turning around.

"Hey, you scared me," I answered while cutting up some sausage.

"I didn't mean to. I'm sorry." In the middle of my chopping, Will turned me around making me chuckle a little.

"What's up?" I asked. Then, he kissed me. I mean, he just laid his lips right mine. He didn't go any further, like he was waiting for me to make a move. So I did. I pulled away. It felt like I was kissing my brother, I guess. I've known Will since pre-school and I love him to death, but I've never thought of him, like that. "Will..." I started but could not finish.

"I know, I'm sorry, but Heaven, I think I like you," he said. "And I know I'm leaving back in a couple of hours, but I just had to tell you. I guess you really don't realize what you have until it's gone. I didn't have you, and we all felt like something was missing. I felt like something was missing, and that something was you." He grabbed my hand and looked at me expectantly, but I was speechless.

"Will, I don't know what to say. This is coming out of nowhere. Of course I missed you, but I never thought of us more than friends," I said looking down at the floor.

"So you'll think about it?" He asked, his face lighting up.

"And then what, Will?! I'm everywhere. I'm in Rhode Island. I'm in New York. I'm in L.A. Then when Taylor's new album comes out, she'll undoubtedly go on tour. Who's to say I'll ever see you again?" I shot at him. I can't freaking deal with all this. I'm starting to get irritated, but I just gotta keep that inside.

"We can try. Please just tell me we'll try," he begged with his eyes becoming soft.

"Will, I don't know. There's a lot going on right now and-"

"Please," he begged once again. Reluctantly, I nodded. He hugged me tightly before I pulled away and just looked at him.

"What's going on in here?" Monei asked coming to sit down at the table.

"Uhm, Will was trying to help me make breakfast, but is like Taylor and is no help to me when it comes to cooking," I lied pretty good.

"Um, I resent that," Taylor said coming into the kitchen. "I am a good cook."

"I didn't say you weren't good. I said you're no help to me when I'm cooking because we don't cook the same way," I explained. She rolled her eyes and just sat there as I continued cooking.

Soon everyone was up and waiting for me to finish cooking. They were deep in a conversation about whether you can put bacon on everything I think. I don't really know. I was more focused on the fact that one of my best friends in this entire world has a crush on me. Yeah a few of us have dated each other, but I never did. Maybe, I like Will too, but I don't now. And then to complicate things even more, he kissed me! He. Kissed. Me! I don't know if I felt anything. I don't know if I should. I'm just so confused. And why all of a sudden did his feelings start? It just smells like trouble. Wait! Actually it smells like burnt bacon. Wait! What's happening?!?

"HEAVEN!! Heaven!! Heaven the bacon is burning!!" Taylor yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Shit," I shouted and turned off the oven, and started opening windows to get the smell out.
