Stand By Me [Fanfic]

The Breakup

"What?" I asked my friend Kylie rather offended.

"I'm just saying you, a sixteen year old, dating him, a twelve year old?" She asked me.

"He's almost thirteen" I mumbled under my breath.

"And your almost seventeen" she said.

"I'm not seventeen for another nine months" I corrected her.

"Oh come on tris, get your head out of your ass and open your eyes!" She yelled. "It is weird, and in few years it'll be illegal, and honestly if people find out they're gonna start calling you a cougar!" She said.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled back.

"I'm just looking out for you" she said to me. "Your a very popular girl and so am I everyone loves us, but frankly your popularity is gonna go down the drain if you don't get your shit together!"

"Oh thanks mom!" I yelled at her getting up and storming out of the diner. Yet maybe she had a point. I climbed the hill leading to the tree house, but i couldn't bring myself to knock. I sat myself down on the hill and looked at the small town i lived in.
Maybe this Gordie thing was getting weird, even if I did truly like
Him. I stared at the clear blue sky, trying to clear my mind. I heard the door to the tree house open. Gordie sat beside me.

"Hey" Gordie said to me.

"Hey" I replied back. "I gotta talk to you," I started.

"About what" Gordie asked, pulling out a few blades of grass from the ground.

"Us" I said. He stopped what he was doing and stared at me.

"What about us" he asked.

"Well" I started.

"You're gonna break up with me, aren't ya?" He asked me. I was speechless. He knew? "It's fine, I guess" he said, pulling out blades of grass again.

"No it's not" I said. 

"Just tell me why. " Gordie said cutting me off.

"Gordie, this is weird. Us. It's weird. Your twelve, and I'm sixteen" I said to him.

"So, I don't think that should effect much" Gordie said to me.

"Gordie, that never happens" I said.

"What never happens?" He asked me.

"You never hear about a couple being married and the woman is four years older" I said to him.

"Are we talking about marriage?" Gordie asked me.

"No" I said.

"Your breaking up with me, because of my age?"

"I'm so sorry, Gordie" I said to him.

"You have no other reason?" Gordie asked me.

"Gordie"

"Just answer my question" he said.

"Yes, I can't do it" I said looking down at my hands.

"Okay, if that's what you really want, was it fun?" He asked.

"Was what fun?" I asked confused.

"Playing Girlfriend" he said to me.

"What?" I hissed.

"You didn't really like me did you?" He asked.

"Of course I did" I said offended.

"Whatever, just don't talk to me, you dig?" Gordie asked.

"Gordie" I started.

"Save it" he said walking away. The world started spinning. That's not how it was supposed to go. I didn't lie to him. I love him. Did he know that? Why wouldn't he listen.

I heard the tree house door slam open, and turned to see Chris walk towards me. I waited for him to yell at me, or be pissed that I just kind of crushed his best friends heart, but he didn't do that at all.

"Can we take a walk and talk?" He asked me. I was confused. Why wasn't he mad, why wasn't he about to punch me in the face, and then I realized. He wasn't like that. Not at all.

"Sure" I said standing up, and we walked towards town. "If you came to talk about me and Gordie, forget it." I said to him.

"Then how are you?" He asked me, changing the subject.

"I'm fine" I said sourly.

"Tris," he said, as he stopped walking.

"What? I'm fine!" I hissed.

"No your not" Chris said. "You've been hunted down by the leader of a gang, someone has been brainwashing you to break up with Gordie, and your parents don't give a shit about you, that gives you every right to not be okay" Chris said. I sighed.

"Your right I'm not okay" I admitted. I looked at him in reliefs that he understood. Of course he understood. He was a chambers kid that's all they even felt.

"Doesn't that feel better?" Chris asked.

"No it doesn't" I said. "That doesn't help at all, it doesn't fix anything either"

Then I stared into those deep sea blue eyes. Maybe it was the pain, maybe it was lake of sleep, but I just couldn't help myself, and apparently neither could he. Suddenly I felt warm soft lips on mine, and I wasn't going to pull away.
