Life With Friends

Thunder

•••••Avalon•••••

I jolted awake, awoken by the loud sound. I looked out my window and saw a flash of lighting, with heavily pouring rain. I heard the massively loud sound again, and snuggled into Blakely, terrified. Then, the loudest thunder I had ever heard, make me break down. I was crying into Blakely's chest, waking him. Then there was another crack and I flinched, sobbing into Blakely's shirt, gripping it tightly. He put his arms around me, protecting me, covering me. Like my father did I thought. I cried harder, if that was even possible.

"Shhhh, it's okay baby" He cooed, trying to calm me. "Thunder can't hurt you. Nothing will, while your in my arms" He said, making me feel a bit better.

He rubbed my back, soothingly and hugged me protectively. This repeating motion made my drowsy. I nuzzled my nose into the crook of his neck, comfortably. The pitter-patter of the now, more calm, rain made me even more tired and I slowly dozed off.

I woke up again, this time peacefully. My eyes fluttered open to see a mad-looking Raquel. I nudged Blakely awake with my elbow.

"Hey babe" he said smiling, sleepily.

I glared at him, directing towards Raquel.

"Oh!" He said now fully awake "This is not what it looks like!" He said.

"So, you didn't do it?" She asked.

"Oh lord, no!" I panicked.

"Why is he in your bed then?" She asked, sounding suspicious.

"Uhh..." I tried to find an answer without just saying 'Oh yeah, he's my boyfriend'

"We met up last night?" I said, making it sound more like a question.

"Naw dip Sherlock" she said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Do I have to tell the whole story?" I asked, annoyed.

"Yes" she stated, with authority in her tone.

"I'm telling the short-one sentence version. I texted him, we met up, we kissed, he asked me out, I said yes, it was late, we watched a movie, he fell asleep in my bed" I said, telling the story.

"Dang it!" She said, sounding angry.

"What?" I asked her.

"I owe Lexi 10 bucks" She complained.

"Why?" Blakely asked, getting into the conversation.

"I bet you would get together after Christmas break. She bet you would get together over Christmas break" She whined.

"Oh well" I said, while hopping out of bed.

"I'm hungry" She stated, randomly, and left.

I chuckled and started looking at some clothes to wear. I looked through my closet to find a light blue/mint sweater. I grabbed a sort-of the same color tank top and a black pair of jeggings.

"I'm going to take a shower" I told Blakely.

"Can I join you?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"EW!" I yelled, throwing the nearest object at him, which happened to be hanger.

I connected my phone -using Bluetooth- to my water proof speaker and suctioned it to my shower wall. I played my favorite list on Apple Music and turned the shower. I undressed and hopped in. I didn't need to let the water get warm, because I took cold showers. I washed my hair and did my stuff.

I turned the shower off and hopped out. I grabbed my towel and put my hair up with it. Then I grabbed another towel and wrapped around my body. I reached to where my clothes were, to feel nothing. I actually looked at where I was reaching and saw nothing.

"BLAKELY!"

•••••Blakely•••••

She threw the hanger at me and I dodged it. I'm going to get her back for that, I just don't know how. I could put blue dye in her shampoo! No, she's taking a shower. I could put loads of balloons in her room! Wait, where am I even going to get balloons? Suddenly it hit me. I grinned evilly.

I slowly opened the bathroom door and heard her singing. Her singing it amazing. She voice is so beautiful and- No! You can't fantasize about your girlfriend right now! You must put your plan into action! I shook my head. I grabbed her clothes and slowly closed the door. Success! Now what...

"BLAKELY!" She yelled my name.

Uh oh.

I ran out of her room, taking the clothes with me. I ran in the kitchen, to see Raquel making breakfast.

"Hey" I called, out of breath.

"Oh no. What'd you do?" She asked.

I held up the clothes, making her chuckle. I saw Avalon stomp down the hallway, straight towards me. She stood right in front of me, with her arms crossed across her chest, wearing a towel on her head and around her under arms and below. I towered above her, me being the taller one.

"You look at hot in a towel" I said, winking and pointing (finger) guns at her.

"Give. Me. My. Clothes. Back. Right. Now" she said gritting her teeth.

"Awww, you look hot when your mad though" I said.

She growled at me. Okay, I'm not going to lie. When she does that, it scares the crap out of me. I shoved her clothes at her and ran away, hiding behind the couch.

"Blakely?" Raquel asked me.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Do you want waffles?" She asked.

"HEL- uhh... yes please" I said, catching myself.
