I'm Happy Just to Dance with You

~Chapter 13

I just laid in my bed. My face is pressed against the pillow from trying to catch the tears. My eyes are all puffy from crying and I'm holding my teddy bear close to me to make me feel safe.

I just lost the one person I cared for most. Why couldn't he see that I like him? Him and him alone. Why won't he listen to me?

I tried thinking of ways to tell him I wasn't cheating on him. Why can't just go up to him and tell him the truth?

I went down stairs to get something to eat. I wiped away the tears and went to find a box of cookies. I really like cookies.

I didn't even notice that my mother was sitting there. As soon as she saw me like this she got up and went to comfort me. "Honey, what's wrong?" she asked sweetly. "Its nothing" I said quickly. I got my cookies and went up to my room.

While laying on my bed with a cookie box in my hand I realized something.

I was supposed to pick up my guitar at Paul's house. Crap.

I really wasn't in the mood to go but I had to. If I wanted my guitar back, I mean. I put the cookie box on my nightstand, grabbed my jacket and opened the door.

"Wait, where are you going" my mother stopped me. "I'm going to go see a friend." I told her. "Oh okay. Just don't be out too late" she said.

I nodded my head. "I won't be long" (See what I did there?)

I walked to Paul's house. I wanted to just get my guitar quickly and leave. I wasn't in the mood to talk to Paul.

I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and Paul's voice yell "I got it."

He opened the door.

"Hey are you here for your guitar?" he said as soon as he saw me. "Yeah" my voice was shaky.

"Julia, are you okay?" he asked. I could see the concern in his eyes. "I'm fine" I said cheery trying to hide my sadness. "No your not. You've been crying. Your eyes are all puffy. Now, what's wrong?"

"I-its nothing." I said trying to hold back tears. "Julia" said Paul, "No its not if you've been crying." I gave Paul a hug. It surprised him but he hugged back. There was a tear rolling down my cheek. Then another and another. He started stroking my hair and we just stood there.

He pulled out of the hug and looked at me. He wiped away my tears with his finger. "Now tell me what happened." he said.

~**~

I took a sip of tea about to tell Paul what happened. "So, you know how we were hanging out together yesterday?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Well George saw us and he got jealous. I tried explaining to him that I like him but he won't listen to me." I told him taking another sip of my tea.

"I can talk to him if you want" he offered. I shook my head no. "No thanks. If you do he'll get even more jealous."

"Mhm...Well why don't you try to get him alone and you can talk to him and try to explain everything." That wasn't such a bad idea. "I like that" I said finishing my tea. "Well I think I better get going" I said. "Wait, let me get your guitar" he ran out of the room. He quickly brought it back.

"I noticed that it didn't sound right so I tuned it for you" he told me happily. "Thank you" I replied. I gave him another hug. "Thanks for being there for me." I said in his ear. He hugged me back. "You're welcome. I hope George listens to you" he whispered back in mine.

I let go and said "Thanks for helping me find out a way to explain to George" I thanked him again. He smiled and blushed. "Your welcome. I hope it works."

I walked out the door and waved back to him and he waved back at me. I felt confident that I could talk to George.

Maybe Paul isn't as bad as I thought.
