Best Friends?

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - New Beginnings

Brett's POV

"Popcorn?" I shout

"Obviously!" She replies. Grabbing popcorn and throwing it in the microwave. Walking into a dark room the only light is coming from my brand new 52 inch flat screen. Christie spread on the sofa, the light from the TV makes the purple and red highlights in her hair stand out more.

 "Which movie do you want to watch I've got Land of the Dead or The Exorsist or ..."

 "The Exorsist!' Christie screams cutting me short

"You sure it's pretty scarey?" I ask

 "Meh, I've got you to protect me." She says grabbing me and pulling me down. We stare at each others eyes I felt strange like my heart was beating faster than it should, I could feel Christie's breathe on me, her breath smelt of cherries.

 Ding.

 "I should go get the popcorn." I say getting up off her.

"Yeah... Erm, right popcorn." She mutters. Walking into the kitchen I think about what just happened and what thoughts I had. It felt wrong to think it Christie and I have been best friends since we were 3 and here we are 12 years later still close but now are we getting too close. Shrugging off that thought, what was I thinking we just stared at each other that's it.

 Christie's POV

Sitting on a comfy leather sofa which is located in front of a massive TV.

 "Popcorn?" I hear Brett say from the kitchen breaking the silence.

 "Obviously!" I reply. I can hear Brett grabbing the popcorn and throwing it into the microwave, then walking into the lounge. Goes to the DVD rack at inspects it.

 "Which movie do you want to watch I've got Land of the Dead or The Exorcist or..."

 "The Exorcist!" I scream.

 "You sure it's pretty scary?" He asked did he think I was a coward.

 Just to tease him I say "Meh, I've got you to protect me." After I say it I pull his hand but I pulled too hard and he fell on top of me. He was heavy! I kinda thought it though with him being a sporty guy but he had more muscle than I though. I stared up at him, no longer bothered by his weight crushing me, his sea green eyes staring back. Since when did he start looking fit. That weird though made me feel sick, it felt wrong to feel that way we've been best friend since like. Forever! Then I had a thought that disturbed me most. I wanted to kiss him! I tried to resist the temptation but couldn't, pushing up my head breathing deeper then...

 Ding.

'I should go get the popcorn." Brett says quickly getting off of me. Just as Brett got off me, so did the thoughts of kissing him. I couldn't beleive waht I was just about to do!

"Yeah... Erm popcorn." I mutter still confused and disturbed. Brett left to get the popcorn, 'What were you doing! He's like a brother!' I thought to myself 'Yeah but he's not." Another part of me replied. I'm so conflicted. In a state of rage, in myself, I get up find a pen and paper write a note saying:

'Sorry, had to go. Mum texted telling me to get home. xxx'

I was about to leave when I turned back and crossed of the kisses in the note.

I cried all the way home, I don't know what to do; this was really confusing. I don't want to destroy me friendship but if I tell him he might feel the same way.

 When I got home, I ran upstairs rushing past mum asking me if had a good time then by the look on her face she realised something was wrong.

 "Are you okay?"

"I don't know. Leave me alone!" I shout. I don't normally shout at mum but I was upset. Getting into my room, I lock the door and go under the covers, crying myself to sleep...
