Stevie
What? Boyfriend? By the way she looks at me, I thought for sure she was into me but she has a boyfriend! I thought I had a pretty good gaydar. I really want to tell this girl that she is gay but thats probably crossing a line.
After school I followed Ally hoping to see what was going on between them. she got into her car. I got in my car. She started driving away. I followed her.
We got to his house but I stayed far enough away that no one could see me. She walked up to his door and rang the doorbell. All I could see was the door opening and someone reaching out to grab her hand. The hand pulled her inside and they disappeared.
Ally
Max pulled me inside and brought me into his dining room. He pulled out a chair for me and gestured for me to sit. Then he took the seat next to me. He grabbed my hands with a sad look on his face.
Stevie
I was waiting for Ally to leave Max's house when I saw a moving truck pull up right next to his house. Then men came out of the truck and went into his garage. They started pulling out boxes and loading them into the truck. I wasn't quite sure what was happening.
Ally
Max asked me about my summer and told me about his and what he said next shocked me. His family had such a good time on vacation in Hawaii that they were moving there. "What? When are you leaving me?" I asked. "I'm so sorry Ally. I'm leaving tomorrow. There's a moving truck scheduled to come any minute to get our boxes." He told me checking his watch. It was then that I looked around and realized that the house was empty and that table was the one piece of furniture left in their house. I was so mad! I started screaming without even knowing what I was saying, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Is it because of some other girl? Well you know what, I'm a lesbian so it doesn't matter anyway. I met a girl too!" I stormed out of the house with tears streaming down my face.
The tears weren't even because he was leaving me. They were because i finally admitted to myself that I liked Stevie and I had a feeling that she liked me too. This whole situation just scared me so much.
Stevie
Ally ran out of his house crying. What did he do to her? Without thinking I ran out of my car to see what was wrong. "Ally," I yelled from two houses away, "Whats wrong?" She looked at me with a confused look on her face. She stood there just looking at me for a while, then she started running towards me. She hugged me and told me what happened. I drove her to the hollywood sign.
Ally
Stevie made me feel better, strengthening the idea that she liked me back. But I was still scared to tell her about the last things that I told Max. If I was wrong about her being gay and If she was homophobic, I could ruin a potential new friendship and I could probably use a friend, seeing as I have none. So I decided that I should probably keep that to myself for now.
She held me in her arms, sitting next to the hollywood sign, slowly rocking me back and forth to calm me down.
"Guys are assholes" she said in a supportive tone. "Yeah," I agreed. "So umm? Why were you even at Max's house?" I asked her. She looked kind of scared. "Do you like me? I mean in a more than friends kind of way?" Was I really that obvious. "Would that freak you out?" I asked her. "No actually. I wanted to know so if the answer was yes, then I could ask you out." she said as she gave me an innocent look. I smiled and said, "Yes and yes."
We sat there in the same spot until it got dark. Then I realized that I left my car outside of Max's house. Stevie drove me back to get my car, then escorted me to my doorstep.
Stevie walked me to my door and whispered,"Maybe he's gone, but now you have me." She slowly lowered her lips to mine and I actually felt something. I felt fire on my face and butterflies in my stomach and it was nothing like I had ever felt before. It was amazing. Our lips slowly parted and she walked back to her car. I watched her drive away and then slowly opened the door to my house and went inside.
