The Friend Boundaries

Chapter 6 Unexpected Guest.

*Trey's point of view*

(After expressing my feelings ,I took a deep breath. I finally lifted that 100 pound confession off my back,but now I can only hope for a positive response.)

Chanel:...Im happy that you're telling me this,but..im just not ready for this right now. Every since my last relationship you know Im not the same girl anymore. I don't know if i can trust another-...look.im just not ready ok.

(I can hear her voice shaking and eyes watering. I can remember back when she was in a relationship with Drew. I never liked that kid but Chanel was so in love with him. I can remember seeing cuts on her wrist and she'd only lie about them. I can remember how angry I was at her for hiding the fact that he beat her and never told me. She knew how much I cared for her even though she was a friend. That was 4 years ago but clearly it still haunts her. I want to be the one to get her passed it,but how can I get her to trust a guy like me?)

Trey: Don't cry. *squeezing her hand tighter* Im sorry for rushing it. I want to make you forget that that ever happened to you.

Chanel: thanks, *smiles* these tears are taking the flavor out of my ice cream *chuckles*.

Trey: once again,I apologize..let me get you home.

(Through the whole ride,I never let her hand go until I pulled up at her house.)

Chanel: I guess this is another night to remember.

Trey: Im sure you've noticed by now that like spending time with you. You bring a different vibe.

(I slowly leaned towards her but she put her finger on my lips preventing the kiss. I figured she didn't want me to,but then she leaned in and slowly kiss me. I was slightly surprised she did that,but It made my blood rush in a good way.)

Chanel: Thats for being a good friend.

Trey:anytime..can you do something for me?

Chanel:what?

Trey: I want you to think about us tonight and everything that I do that makes you happy.will you do that?

Chanel:..I can do that.

Trey: Alright. *hugs her tightly* see you soon.

The Next Day(Saturday)

**This part is told from Lisa's point of view**

(As im laying in my bed listening to some Aaliyah,I started to think of Trey and how he's kinda been ignoring me lately. I knew I shouldn't have slept with him that day cause now I feel so used. I can only guess he's ignoring me cause of that skank Chanel. Ugh,my damn head still hurts from the fight. I havn't been feeling good at all lately. My parents are stressing the hell out of me about these colleges;especially my dad. Him being a pastor at my church,he expects me to be his perfectly smart daughter with a bright future. Ive always had to live up to these high expectations by him and thats why I hide almost everything from them.In the end,I don't wanna let them down no matter how miserable I am. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach,I felt something to come up like I had to go vomit. I sprinted out of my bed into my bathroom. My face was buried into the toilet.What the hell has gotten into me?! I heard my older sister Tiffany come into the room.)

Tiffany:Lisa guess wha-...lisa?

Lisa:Im in here!*wipes mouth*

Tiffany: Ew...you ok?

Lisa: Im fine. Its probably something I ate.

Tiffany: well watever it was,don't eat it again. Anyways,I got good news.

Lisa:what is it?

Tiffany: Guess what college I got accepted into...Harvard!!

Lisa: Wow sis. Thats great,im sure dad is gonna be so proud of you.

Tiffany: As hard as he pushed me,he better.

Lisa:Im happy for you.*walks into bedroom.*

Tiffany: Are you sure?You don't sound so happy.

Lisa:..Don't you think dad expects a little too much? He wants everything to go his way when its our lives.

Tiffany: Yea but its only for the best. He's pushing you cause he wants you to be successfull.Don't stress.Goodnight.

(As she left my room. I layed thinking of all the things ive had to hide. I just know my dad would have a heart attack if he found out I went over trey house. It did cross my mind if he's the reason why ive been feeling ill lately. Theres no way.its impossible because im on the pill. Just in case, im wrong. I know tiffany has some pegnancy tests in her room,but I cant just ask for them. Looks like im gonna have sneak for them.
