I'll Wait For You

Your P.O.V.

Lately all i could think about was that kiss at the party, i was so confused about why he would kiss me, i mean we're BEST FRIENDS, why would he kiss me if he knew that? Does Calum like me? No, he wouldn't, we're just friends...or are we? I shook those thoughts from my mind as i fiddled with my ear buds, i wrapped the cord around my phone and put it in my back pocket as i leaned back onto my bed in my room, i sighed as i covered my hands with my face. Minutes passed by before a knock was placed at my door, i sprung up "who is it?" i ask "Raina...can i come in?" she pleads, i walk over to the door and open it revealing a teary eyed Raina, my smile fades "Raina, whats wrong?" i ask, she says nothing before tightly hugging my waist, i wrap my arms securely around her, i pull away "come sit on my bed and you can tell me whats wrong" i say, she nods and walks over to my bed sitting down, i close the door and walk over to the bed sitting next to her, most of the time me and Raina don't get along, only because she goes through my shit, typical sister stuff. But lately iv'e noticed a slight change in her demeanor, she has been a lot nicer to me, so as an older sister, i return the favor by being a better sister than i was to her. I wipe the tears that roll down her cheeks with the pad of my thumb "Raina, please tell me whats wrong..." i ask, she nods and sighs "well, iv'e liked this boy, trevor, for like ages now, i was going to ask him to girls choice dance, but he already got asked..." oh, no big deal, just a middle school romance problem, i can make her feel better, i thought to myself "well, he's just a jerk, you'll get over it Rain's..." i sat rubbing her arm in comfort, she sighed "that's the thing, i can't get over it, because i know the person who asked him..." i raised an eyebrow in confusion "what do you mean?" i ask, she sighs again "brianna asked him to go..." Brianna and Raina have had an on and off friendship ever since kindergarten, it was always Brianna who started shit, and she would always blame it on Raina, or they would get into a fight and it would be "Raina's fault" when it all started because of Brianna. Whenever they would fight Raina would just suck it up and apologize because she thought it was her fault, or because Brianna was pretty popular at the middle school she went to, all of the boys had crushes on her, i couldn't lie, she was really pretty for a 6th grader. When they would fight i would always tell her to end the friendship because she wasnt good for Raina anyways, but Raina, being the good person she is, would take the blame and go running back to her side, i could tell that this was the final straw. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly "oh Raina, i-im so sorry..." she takes a deep breath as another tear escapes her eyes "and that's not even the worst part...Brianna was the only person who knew i liked Trevor, so she asked him on purpose just to piss me off, then everyone started making fun of me, calling me a loser or a friendless lowlife...i-im just so done with everything..." i couldn't believe kids were so mean to her in middle school, yeah i got bullied in middle school, but i had enough confidence to flip them off or come up with a witty comeback, but Raina isn't confident at all, she is so shy, it is extremely hard for her to make friends. I pull her into a hug, she cried soft sobs into my shoulder, i felt tears build up in my eyes, yeah, me and my little sister fight, but she's my baby sister, and i love her no matter what, and nobody hurts her (but me of course, its the way it works) We pull away "did you tell mom?" i ask, she giggles a bit, i still know that she is hurting inside though "are you kidding me? you should know this Sam, having your mom get involved is like social suicide, i don't want to be known as the snitch who got everybody in trouble, that'll just make everything worse..." she says, i nod, she was right, i would rather get bullied every once in a while and not be a snitch, than have everyone hate me because i got them into trouble, parents just don't understand "i understand that...so what are we gonna do?" i ask, she shrugs her shoulders "i dunno, i guess i'll just figure it out, i mean how bad could it get?" she says, i nod, chuckling nervously "yeah, right..." i say nervously, she gets up as i walk her to my door, she suddenly hugs me, "thanks Sam..." she whispers, i am hesitant to hug back, but soon hug her back tightly as she loosens her muscles "anytime, now go do your homework before mom kills you..." i say, she nods and walks down the hallway to her room and shuts the door, i shut my door and sigh as i walk back over to my bed, more stress, yay..., i said in my head, i felt my phone buzz in my pocket as i took it out, the word ,Ash, appeared onto my screen, i smiled and read the text
