Dan and Phil's Daughter

Chapter 8 - Those Three Words

Those. Three. Words. James says those, three, words.
"I love you Chloe!", he says after I make funny joke. I ponder the meaning of those three words. I remember I have to respond with something or he'll know I'm spacing out again.
"Hm? Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking.", I say a little frantically. "What were you thinking about?", he says very questioning and interested. I'm annoyed by this. "I was thinking of the words 'I love you'.", I say slowly piece by piece. "Oh. I'm sorry if I offended you by saying I love you, I didn't mean it like that.", James says really quickly and nervous. "It's fine. I just don't like Those. Three. Words.", I say really slowly while still thinking. "Why, May I ask?", he says looking concerned for some reason. "I just never say those words, I'm uncomfortable with how someone might take them. They could think I really do have sentimental feelings for them, or they could think I'm just saying that because they make me happy. It could be interpreted into a way I look up to them in admiration. I just don't say I love you to people irl.", I say trying to explain my feelings but still trying to sound joyful. "Oh, I see. I really do have sentimental feelings for you but not like mushy feelings of love, y'know? I mean  I love you as a friend and I wouldn't want you sad or hurt. I'm protective over my best friends. Especially when they're weak." , he says with a friendly tone then a joking smirk. "I AM NOT WEAK! I can stand up for myself, thank you very much! I love you as a friend too, just remember to take it easy on those words. You never know how people will take them."
We talk while playing Mario Kart 20, well more of 'no no no! Move! Out of my way sucker! Darn it! Yes yes yes! I've got it! Almoosst theerree!!! Yes! Hahaha I beat you! You lose, I win!'. Chris and PJ leave. We play this game called catchphrase with my dads, Bear and I win. We eat chicken quesadillas with sour cream. We still film for the diol video, we end it by an outro where James was in it with us. James' moms come and pick him up, they thank us and give hugs. I think my dads will befriend them.
Yo, TO BE CONTINUED...
Okay, um I'm sorry this is really crappy, and I mean REALLY CRAPPY. I can't think of what to write but I wanted to talk about the words 'I love you' because I personally don't like to use them for relatives or anyone dear to me. I'm saying phan's kid so I had to improvise with where I live and a random kid and storyline. I am gonna do fast forwards through like weeks because as you can tell I try to go too deep into detail of a day. I literally have 8 chapters now on only one day. So let's just skip some. Thanks for those that actually put up with my crappy writing and crappy storyline. Btw you should listen to Melanie Martinez's new album Cry Baby, it's really good. That's what I listen to when writing this. Thanks for reading and giving feedback. Kay bye chloecats! Lol no.
