"MOOOOOM, Stacy's picking on me" I yelled to my mom in the front seat. Stacy said "I was not, you big baby. Mom, she just doesn't know what a joke is." God she can be so annoying. She turned 13 today and because it's in the teens she thinks she's all that. Psh, please. My dad looked back at us like he was going to yell at us.
Then I heard a loud noise and felt jolted forward. Glass shattered and cut me. My whole body hurt but was soon numb and the cold air rushed into the car freezing me to the bone. My seatbelt cut into my neck and my whole head was thrown back against the head rest. In a brief moment of consciousness I was aware that I was the only one wearing a seat belt. The jolt gave me a headache maybe a concussion, I was not sure. My surroundings began to blur and I suddenly felt tired and cold... I just want to go to sleep. Mmmmm, sleep, I think I'll try that. My eyes fluttered close and I just let go of consciousness.
(Today)
"Henry, truth or dare?" I asked him. He knew me and he also knew what I knew so he said "Dare." I smiled. "I dare you to kiss Will." I said and then started laughing. Will, Henry, and I were celebrating Will's birthday. We set up a movie and snacks in his basement.
Their eyes were so wide that I couldn’t stop from laughing. After staring me down they started staring at each other, then to me, and then back again. I couldn't help but laugh at the expressions the pair was making. Will's face looked like he would have said "you didn't say what I think you just said, did you?" and Henry's face looked like he would have said "best friends do not go there" if they could have spoken. I still couldn't stop laughing.
When Henry finally calmed down he whined "no; never mind. I take it back, I pick truth. TRUTH!!!" I just shook my head no and said "you know the rules. Go on. There is no turning back now."
A few more minutes of complaining, refusing, and blackmail and then he finally sighed "I don't have a choice, do I." I answered with a simple "nope."
He crawled over to Will and cringed after securing his seat. I smiled at my best friends and said "oh don't be such big babies, it's just one kiss." Their faces were priceless. Will looked like he was debating on which would be faster: running to his closet or running up the stairs. After a little more procrastination Henry quickly tapped his lips to Will's. The both jumped apart so fast that Will almost knocked over the coffee table and Henry hit his head against the wall. In no time they both looked like a Mr. Yuck sticker as they were wiping their mouths off.
Suddenly Henry had a devious smirk on his face as he proudly announced "my turn." Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap, crap, crap. What was I was thinking? He had dirt on me! Will could not know so I only had one option to pick. "Dare" I had stuttered. What was the worst that could happen? He will probably make me eat dirt or something, right? I thought. Wrong.
"I dare you to play 7 minutes in heaven with Will." Now it was my turn to panic. I like Will. No one else knows except Henry and I don’t plan on anyone else knowing. He also knows I've never kissed anyone also but that is no secret. I mean, I've tried but I kept getting interrupted and after a while I just blocked boys and friends out. Now only these two boys in front of me matter. They are my family. I used to bounce from one place to the next so I didn't see the point in trying to get to know people; in the end it only hurts you. I don’t want to have anyone to miss. The exception is Henry and Will only because I could not help myself.
Will and I glared at Henry. Will looked mad but I also saw some other emotion he tried to keep hidden. He whined "dude WHY are you doing this to ME!!! I didn't do anything to you." Henry apologetically said "sorry man but I want to get back at Grace and you're the only person. Well besides me of course."
Then Henry looked back over at me and laughed wickedly. "Payback is a bitch. Right, Grace?" I wanted so badly to wipe the smirk off of his face.
I looked over at Will like he was a foreign object that just dropped from the sky. Henry laughed again and said "oh don't be such big babies, it's just one kiss." He was mocking me for when I had said it earlier and it brought back my regret.
I stood up but my legs were shaking. Henry came over and literally pushed me in the closet. I caught myself on the back wall.
"Well, at least it wasn't messy in here" I thought sarcastically. Will put up a struggle against Henry and it looks like he lost. He was pushed in and he accidentally knocked me down. His weight was crushing me. Will sat up and brought me up with him. He stood and flipped the light switch on but the light he craved never came.
"So" I said, looking at the floor. Will was avoiding eye contact also. He mumbled "ya."
After standing there awkwardly for what felt like forever, Henry banged on the door making both Will and I jump. Henry yelled "it doesn't count if you just stand there." How did he know we weren't kissing? I didn't want to know.
Will looked over at me and said "you shouldn't be pressured to do this." I took a step closer to him and said "well, it's only fair." I chuckled and said "I mean I made you and Henry kiss."
He looked. Well, I can't actually describe it. He looked not like himself.
Suddenly, he pushed me back against the wall. His hands are resting on my hips and his chest was pushing up against mine. He leaned in like he was going to kiss me and seductively whispered "payback time." In this dark cramped space it was hard to tell but I think I saw a smirk on his face.
He placed his right hand on my left cheek and cradled my head securely. After what felt like forever he crushed his soft, warm, pink, delicious lips to mine. At first it was extremely awkward and I didn’t know how to react but then I gained courage and started kissing back. My hands went in his hair and I couldn't help but lightly pulled it. He let out a soft moan that sent chills all through my body and made me moan in return. He licked my bottom lip and I let him in. His tongue massaged mine. It felt so good and natural, like this was the way it was meant to be between us.
Then I remembered the arranged marriage my family wanted for me and I thought about how Will would never feel that way about me. I came crashing back to earth with the realization that to him we were just friends. Even if he did like me what would happen if I were to get transferred again? In the long run we are probably not going to end up together, so why even try? Like they say 'You don't miss what you never had.'
Will started kissing down my neck to let me breath. With shaky hands I.........
