Don't Dream It's Over

Chapter 5: I feel like Crap On A Cracker

Me and Cory haven't really talked after the whole "I love you" fiasco. Basically what happened was he kept saying sorry and that it was too soon and said he probably seemed like a crazy psycho. But the truth is..

I love him too.

I was just being a scared little bitch. I really do like him, I'm just so scared. I basically said I should be getting home and we said goodbye and all that. I texted him the other day that I would think about how I feel and let him know.

Hey it's me Cory,
Just wanted to say if you need more time that's ok. Take as much as you need.

I sighed and decided I needed to just say it. I needed to tell him I feel the same way. That I love him.

Hey,
I don't need more time. I know how I feel. I love you Cory. You are so important to me. We have been friends since the 4th grade and I know that I want to be more than just friends.

I sent it and suddenly got so nervous. It said he read it and I was bracing myself for what was to come.

I'm glad you feel the same way. Meet me at the gym after study hall today.😊

I smiled and responded..

Ok

########################
{After study hall}
I walked in to find Cory sitting in the bleachers waiting for me.
"Hey sorry I'm..." I started to say but I was interrupted by Cory's lips on mine. Oh my god! What's happening?! He's kissing me!!!
He pulled away a few minutes later.
"Sorry..that was way to soon wasn't it?"
He asked shyly. Now I don't know what came over me but all of a sudden I grabbed his face and kissed him. It was an extremely rough kiss. I could feel him smile through out the kiss.
"Does that answer your question?" I asked him. He smirked at me and responded happily.
" Yeah it did."

Then he got kind of nervous and asked
"So...does this mean your my..girlfriend?"
I smiled and said yes. His face lit up like a Christmas tree filled with lights. I have never seen him so happy. He kissed me again before we parted. Just as he was walking out I heard him scream "SHE SAID YES! HELL YEAH!" I laughed at how exited he got.

The next day I stayed home because I felt really gross. I had a horrible fever, I was sweaty, I was vomiting, I felt awful. I feel like crap on a cracker. I texted Cory and asked him if he could get the homework for the classes we had together.

Are u ok? Do you need me to come over? I'll skip school and come over if you want.

I smiled at how much he cares and said

Lol. Yeah I'm fine. I just got a stomach virus. No you don't have to come over. Your sweet though.

He quickly responded.

Ok babe. Feel better. I love you.😘

I froze. The term of endearment always seemed unoriginal, and was not that important to me. Suddenly it had a whole new meaning. An important and loving one.

Thanks my love. I love you too❤️

After I texted Cory back, I took a quick shower and went back to bed. A couple hours later I was throwing up in the toilet and sweating like crazy. It was the end of the school day so I decided I should have Cory come over. I texted him asking him to come by.

About twenty minutes later Cory barged through the door, his chest heaving from running. He had a folder and basket in hand.

"Ok babe I'm here where are you?"

"In here." I said. I was lying on the blue tiled floor of the bathroom.

"Aww, baby you really are sick." He said. I nodded and he picked me up bridal style and brought me to my bed.

"I brought your homework, some ginger ale, anti-nausea medicine and if you want I can make you some soup or something." He said.

I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair. "That would be great." I said.

He gave me a kiss on the head and faded out the door.

Later that night we were snuggled up together watching the notebook, which was my choice.

"Thanks for coming over to help me out. I love you." I said to him. He smiled and said

"No problem babe. I love you too." Then he kissed me. It probably wasn't the greatest idea when I was sick but it felt awsome so I didn't care.

So far so good.
