Him & Her

Chapter 8

Maddie's POV

As I drove away a tear streamed own my face. Why did I do that, I liked him so much. I thought about it for a moment. He was right! He was right about me being scared of a relationship. It all made sense now, I didn't want what happened last time to happen again.

-At School-

As I walked down the halls I saw my Ex-Boyfriend and my Bestfriend holding hands. That's right, after all this they hooked up. As I saw them I was about to cry. No one understand how painful this was. I still loved him but I just had to face that it wasn't going to happen, so I had to let go of him. Why was this so hard? Why? As I was about to walk into the bathroom to calm down, someone grabbed my arm before I made my way in. "Emma!" I said as she pulled me into the janitor's closet next to the restroom.

"Why did you do that to Josh?" She asked, she had caught me! But I had a very good reason for all of this. "Look, I didn't want to talk to him because he wants to make a relationship, but I don't." I spoke very calmly and nice. "No Maddie, your scared, we all know you like him and he likes you so why can't you just accept that. We have had this conversation before, and we probably shouldn't have, so get your butt out there and work your Maddie magic!" She said encouragingly. "No I'm not going to do that I'm done, I give up!" I shouted

-At Home-

I like Josh so much, but I don't want to. I'm just done with guys. "Hey Maddie, wanna go to a party?" OMG yes this will help me meet new people, not guys, this is what I need! "Yes!" I yelled. Emma had an excited expression on her face. I then started to get ready for tonight. I figured I would wear a white lace skirt that kinda poofed out, an ocean blue tank top, and some brown flats. It wasn't too revealing, right?

So when we got in front of the house, Emma and I got out of the car and casually walked inside. The first thing I heard was booming music. But then I walked to the sofa after talking to many people from my school, but Emma left with one of her friends for a couple minuets to talk, so it was just me. Then this guy came and sat down next to me. I was about to shove him off, until I saw who it was. It was a drunk Josh. Oh gosh, what am I supposed to do? Well I just did what i thought a responsible girl would do. I stood up and took his hand to lead him upstairs. As we arrived at the top of the stairs I started to look for Emma, but I couldn't find her. So I just called her to tell her I was gonna leave early. As I buckled up Josh he whispered "Can I tell you a secret?" "Ya Josh you can tell me anything" I spoke playing along.

"I like you" he whispered. "Ya Josh, I know that" I whispered in his ear before closing his car door to sit in the driver's seat. The rest of the ride home we just talked about life. As we arrived at my house I opened the front door. My parents were gone for the weekend to go to a convention. As we stepped inside, I locked the door then prepared the couch so he could sleep on it.

When I was done I told him to go to sleep on the couch, so he did as I told him. So after that I went to take a shower. When I left the bathroom I saw him standing there waiting for me. As I just stood there I froze. He was nude. Like only boxers. It was weird. I thought he fell asleep on the couch. I tried to walk past him in my Spongebob pajamas, but he stopped me and made me look in his eyes. Then he pressed his lips against mine. I figured I would kiss him back because, ya know he won't remember. So I just let it slide. When I tried to pull back he wouldn't let me. He was so muscular from playing Soccer. I got so lost in the kiss that I hadn't noticed we were on the couch. How did this happen? I just pulled as hard as I could to escape his grip, but it was worthless.

-The next Morning-

I woke up with Josh by my side, his arms around my waist. I first made sure all my clothes were on. Yes, I had everything on, so I tried to free myself from his grip but it was so difficult. He was so strong. When I finally did I went down stairs to make breakfast. But then I herd footsteps coming down the stairs. This was now my time to explain.
