Best Friends... Always?

New Start

:Monae's POV:

It's been a whole week since the funeral and I haven't seen or talked to anyone. Dre, Christy, and other people I haven't talked to in a while have been blowing up my phone. I don't even cry anymore I just lay here, emotionless, and torn apart. I believe it was 12 in the afternoon when I actually got out of my bed and took a shower. I brushed my teeth looking down and just walked out after I was done. I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. I was eating cereal when the doorbell rung. I got up and walked over to the door I was in a such a terrible mood I just opened the door. "Dimples?" Why is Dre here isn't school still in? I just stared at my feet when I felt his arms embracing me. I felt like this is what I needed, I hugged him back and laid my head on his chest. "I told you I wasn't leaving. That also includes when I know you need someone." he kept holding me. I wanted to start over I couldn't do this forever. "Thanks." I spoke for the first time since the funeral. "You can't keep doing this Monae I mean it I'm not trying to be harsh, but life goes on. Your life goes on. he closed the door and I walked to the living room. I didn't want to hear what he had to say I knew he was right I just didn't want to admit it. "Are you listening to me Nae?" Dre asked grabbing my hands and staring into my face.

:Dre's POV:

I couldn't stand to see so much hurt in one person. It's to much and no one should have to go through things like this. "Are you listening to me Nae?" I grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes. "Yea I hear you I'll go to school tomorrow." she mumbled pulling away from me. "Ok good." I smiled.

-Last Day of School-

"I need a ride home." I glanced over at Monae. "I need gas so I guess we'll both be sitting here huh." she smiled and took one of my oranges. "Uhm excuse you Dimples that's mine and mine only." she laughed and peeled it. " Well may I have it then Bubby?" she smirked "No, but thanks" I smiled and she scrunched up her face. "For what?" she looked at me." For peeling it." I snatched the orange and ate it. "And for that you're walking home." she smiled this time and grabbed my other orange. "You two should just go out already." Christy said smirking. "Nah that's my Bubby I can't date him." Monae smirked. "And I don't date Dimples." I smirked. "See perfect couple just wait you'll be together" she got up and walked over to where Hakeem stood.

:Monae's POV:

I didn't look at Dre I just ate my orange and got up. "You coming?" I asked getting my stuff since we could leave school early. "As long as you don't leave when we get to my house." Dre looked up at me. "Okay" I shrugged and walked towards the exit. "Well if it isn't the tramp or is it orphan?" I turned to be met with Lea's stomach then face. A shame. I sighed. "What do you want Lea?" "I want Dre" she narrowed her eyes. "Uhm I'm not dating him I'm his friend "best" friend." I put quotations around best. "Well as long as you're around he won't talk to me." she glared at me. Is this chick really that dumb. I didn't even waste my breath on her I just turned back around and walked out of the school. Where was Dre? And that's when I saw him walking out the other side of the school. "Finally" I glanced at him. "You should let me drive." he turned to me. "Ah no I got it." I started the truck and pulled off. These past weeks have been really hard for me, but I've had Dre to help me through it all. I feel like I'm putting to much on his actions. What if I do have feelings for Dre how would I tell him or would I? My thoughts started to gwt carried away, so I was glad when I pulled into his driveway. "My parents are gone for the summer." Dre sighed. "Why didn't you go?" I asked "It's a two month couple's vacation and they told me I needed to be.." he stopped and got out. "You need to what?" I asked getting out behind him. "Nothin." he rubbed the back of his neck. I knew it was something because of him rubbing his neck, but I just dropped it. "Okay" I walked into the house behind him. "So there's a party coming up and I want you to come with me." Dre looked at me as I sat on the couch. "Uhm who's party?" I raised my eyebrow. "Matt's but he knows people from our school and Christy, Adrian, amd their boyfriends are gonna be there." he sat beside me. "How do you know that?" I asked. "I invited them." he smiled. "I guess I could go then." I gave in. "Great, but it's a pool party." he smiled again. "Oh so that's why you want me to go huh."I shook my head. "Noo I want you to go so you'll have something to do next weekend." he bucked his eyes. "Mhm ok I'll still go I guess."
