Makenna's POV

I am an idiot. I have decided that. I am officially so very beyond idiotic. Why did I run? Why, why, why? Isn't that what I wanted? To have him feel the same about me? I guess I was just scared. I mean it's a lot to take in.
I should apologise. I mean I haven't talked to him in about two days. I'm just sitting in my room having a mental breakdown and cursing myself. I haven't had the guts to call or text him. I just can't face bhim. I don't know how he'll react, I don't know if I should tell him anymore. I just don't know.
A knock on my door breaks me out of my trance.
"Come in."
In popped my mom's head. She smiled a bit empathetically. She sat down next to me on my messy bed.
"You should talk to him," she said quietly.
"I know," I said after a pause.
There was just silence. I didn't know what to do.
"Don't call or text him, you need to talk to him face to face," she said giving my hand a squeeze.
I nodded before getting up and getting dressed.

I pushed the doorbell and nervously shuffled my feet. Robbie's mom answered the door and I looked up at her with a small nervous smile. She smiled back at me with pity on her face. Oh god, don't pity me. I'm not the one who should be pitied.
"He's upstairs," she sighed. I walked in, took my shoes off and hung my jacket on the hook. I took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. I stopped at his bedroom door and hesitated, but knocked three times.
"I told you mum, I'm fine! Just leave me alone now please!" He yells from inside the room. I hesitantly opened the door and stuck my head inside.
"Um actually its me," I said quietly.
His head shot up from the floor he was staring at. He stood up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. I noted they were a bit red and he had bags under his eyes. Guilt made a weight in my stomach.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I thought I should explain." Robbie nodded for me to continue. I didn't speak though. I didn't know how to say this.
"I gess I was just scared. It's a big thing to drop on someone," I said not making eye contact in fear of breaking down myself.
"I understand that I suppose," Robbie sighed.
"So is it true?" I asked silently.
"What?"
"Do you... Really... Love me?" I said finally looking up at him. His eyes were glowing from the sunlight in the window. He looked at me with an emotion that I could not describe. Wonder mixed with contentment and affection. An emotion I don't ever remember reading on his face.
"Yes I do. With every fiber in me," he said truthfully looking me in the eyes. I made an on the spot choice.
"This might take some time to get used to," I sighed. "But I think our friendship will be okay."
Robbie had a look of such dissapointment and sadness. I had to look away because I desperately wanted to tell him and hug him and apologise for everything. But my brain knew that I couldn't. So I looked away and sat on his bed.
"Right," he said kind of zoned. "Our friendship."

Robbie's POV

Crushed, disappointed, those words did not begin to describe how I felt. I thought maybe she might feel the same. But of course not. I don't even know why I had hope. At least I have her for now as a friend.
I hesitantly sag next to her on the bed. There was a long silence. It was sort of awkward but I was just enjoying her presence here right now.
"So what now?" I asked her.
"I don't know," she paused and trailed off.
"You wanna watch a movie?" I asked, desperately trying to break the sudden awkwardness. She nodded and I got up to set up the movie. I put in the hunger games and Kenna chuckles.
"Of course you would pick that movie," she said.
"Of course," I said obviously.
I sat down on the floor with one of my pillows and she followed. Whenever we watched movies as kids, we would always lay down with a fort of blankets and pillows on the floor. I miss those more simple days. When we didn't have to worry about things like love.
---
It was towards the end of the movie and it had grown dark. I didn't want the movie to end. I didn't want her to go home. But of course, all good things must come to an end. Once the movie ended, I shut the TV off and turned the lights on. Kenna stood up only to flop back down on my bed. I laughed and flopped down next to her.
"I guess I gotta go home," she sighed but didn't move.
"You could spend the night," I suggested. She paused for a moment.
"M'kay," she finally said, whiping out her phone and texting here mom. I internally cheered and stood up to clean the mess on the floor.
She stood up and rubbed her eyes.
"Uh, Robbie? Can I borrow some of your clothes to bed?" She asked, somewhat nervous.
"Yeah, course," I laughed and tossed her my blue Batman T-shirt and a pair of boxers. She walked out of the room so I got changed. I put on my white and blue plaid pajama bottoms with no shirt cause I usually sleep with no shirt. She came in a few minutes later with her hair down now.
Now I cannot explain what happened to me just then, but it was something about seeing her in my oversized shirt. She just looked indescribably adorable. She looked so perfect standing there in my American apparel underwear. The way her hair flows down her shoulders and back so perfectly. I couldn't stop staring at her.
"So you good then?" She asked bringing me back to reality.
"What- oh yeah. I'm fine," I stuttered out.
I climbed into bed like usual and waited for her to follow. She hesitantly came up to the bed but stopped.
"You're not gonna try anything right?" She asked sternly. I chuckled a bit.
"Of course not love. No means no. I would never want to hurt you," I said. She smiled before finally climbing in and rolling over.
I resisted the urge of wrapping my arms around her and turned over to sleep.
