Chapter 3
I woke up with the worst hangover, but smiling because I remember the ambulance came last night to get Hannah who I knocked unconscious. She deserved it to the bitch, say your my friend then dry hump my ex who only just broke up with me. Nuh-uh shit doesn't work that way in this house. I went and had a nice warm shower and got into a pair of jeans, a skelanimals shirts and my purple converse and walked down stairs. I could smell the bacon and eggs cooking and knew Troy's Nan was home. I turned into the kitchen and there she was, smiling away. I looked around the house and seen it was a mess, so I returned back to the kitchen.
"Hey Nan, sorry about the mess from last night."
"It's okay Isabel, I'm used to it now. I had to come home when the ambulance was called last night, thanks to you knocking out Hannah last night little miss." Blushing, I felt bad about Troy's Nan having to come home early. She plated up some bacon and eggs for me which I gave her a thankful smile.
"Morning guys, sorry about the party Nan I'll clean it up later.” Troy was always thoughtful like that. Cleaning up after his mess. The mess between Troy and I now though, well I don't know if we can fix that. Troy is my best friend and last night we almost, well you know. With clouded thoughts, the smell of a delicious breakfast swept them away.
Standing in the hallway, I could hear Troy cussing about something and my name mentioned a few times. I decided now would be best just to knock on his door and talk about it while we were sober and not drugged up. *Knock, knock*
"Come in, it's open."
"Hey Troy, we need to talk about last night." I was so worried about what he was going to say.
"I think it's better if we just pretend it never happened."
"No, it did happen and I want to know if it meant something to you or not."
"Izzy, of course it meant something to me. I took it to far though and I'm sorry," he looked so innocent.
"What did it mean to you?"
"Um, well. Isabel. I love you. I hate seeing you with Liam, all he did was treat you like shit." Those words certainly were a shock to hear. But the funny thing was, I was glad to hear them.
"I love you too, I don't know when, where or why. But I do." It was the weirdest feeling, I was in love with Liam, but I'm in love with my best friend. What the hell is going on.
He got up off his bed and walked over to me, wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. As soon as our lips touched tingles shot up and now my spine, and we were the only two people in the world. I could feel my whole body tingling, and next thing I knew we were on the bed again. Clothes were coming off layer after layer. Then, well you can guess what happened.
....
We were cuddling each other under the sheets, Troy lightly kissed my forehead. He felt so warm yet just beyond the wall it was 3 degrees Celsius. Nothing could make me want to change this moment, nothing at all. It was pure perfection, minus the part where I was thinking about Liam and what he would do if he found out. You know what I couldn't care what Liam thinks clearly he wants Hannah and not me. He probably likes Karoline too. Honestly, right now Liam is just a waste of my time. There is was, laying in my best friends bed, in his arms with the biggest smile on my face.
I gave him one last kiss and hoped out of bed and into the shower. The tap was cold, but the water was so warm. Almost as warm as Troy, I finished having my shower. Got dressed and looked in the mirror, I had the biggest hickey I have ever seen. I could hear Troy moving around in his room, then I heard his stereo turn on and I heard the song 'Sure Thing' by Miguel come on. It was an amazing song, when I came out, Troy was dressed and sitting on his bed playing with a blood red rose. He looked up at me with those big brown eyes that have brought me comfort for years and smiled that beautiful smile that made every day so much better. He patted the empty spot next to him, so I went and sat down next to him. He took my hand in his and kissed it lightly, it sent tingles up and down my spine. Why didn't I feel like this when I was with Liam, it was just pure perfection. I loved my best friend, out of all the people, my best friend! There has to be a law against this somewhere, surely.
I walked down stairs, saying a quick goodbye to Troy nan, and I was out the door. Walking along 5th avenue I was in a pickle, I just had sex with my best friend the day after my ex boyfriend dumped me. I could hear someone walking toward me, looking up all I seen was someone with a black eye and felt a sting on the side of my face. It was Hannah, with a huge black eye, and she just slapped me. Well, I looked back up aimed right for her nose and with all my strength punched her clean in the middle of her face. I felt the crack and the warm fresh blood pouring out her face, and heard the thump off her landing flat on her ass. With that I turned around and stormed off in the direction of Troy's house. Anger and relief flooding through me, with a smile on my face and most likely a hand print I walked up his driveway and through the door.
