Sophomore Year, At PDH [Phoenix Drop High Fanfic]

Hanging with Laurance Pt.2

Ugh, Gene... I rolled my eyes at his words and I heard Laurance growl, "What do you want Gene?" "Hahahh, what do I want? Hahahah!" I stayed silent, "You." He said grabbing my waist and pulling me against his chest, right when Laurance noticed this he was about to punch him when, he kissed me, Gene kissed me... "GENE!!" I yelled wiping my lips, "Calm down baby, you know you missed this?" "YES, I DO!! I MISS MY GENE, NOT THIS GROSS, PUTRID, PIG THAT NO LONGER HAS A PURPOSE IN MY LIFE!!!" His eyes widened hearing my screams, "Im sorry, do not give me that look, I'll lower my voice. Gene?" "Yes~?" "I am going to be completely honest with you--" "Proceed?" "I loved you, I did, I'll admit that, but I didn't love YOU, I lived MY Gene, the old Gene, the one that loves his brother and wanted to be a good role model for, the one that MY sisters loved, they looked up to you and always told me 'Terry, I wish I had a great boyfriend like Gene.' Now you are just a piece of shit that is no longer an obstacle in my course." With that I grabbed Laurance's hand and left those rotten 'Shadow Knights' with their jaws on the ground. We continued to walk, barely talking. After that long and very, very, tiring walk around the entire park, we stopped at this bench for a break I guess. "How was that for a workout?" I asked patting his back, "Very tiring, I have had practices that last an hour and a half, but not two and a half!" He said panting, "Here." I said opening my Gatorade and holding it out to him. "T-Thanks." He said gulping half of the drink down, "Wow, slow down!" "Sorry. Here you go." "Thanks." I gulped down about a quarter and stopped, when I heard the most amazing music in the world! I gasped the longest gasp and squealed: "OH MY IRENE!!! LAURANCE ICE CREAM!!!" "LETS GO!!" We ran to the ice cream truck driving by, "What can I get for you two?" "Ooh, May I have a Pepsi, and a War-Head Popsicle." "Yup, and you?" "May I have a Jolly Rancher Popsicle." "Here you go, that will be $1.50." I looked at him confused, wait a second!? "W-Wait, d-do I know you?" I asked tilting my head, Laurance looked at me strangely, "Sort of...here. Just take them." We grabbed them and I stayed there lost in thought, who was that man? Do I know him? I sat back on the bench and held the two items in my hands. "Do you know that guy?" He asked turning to me while opening his Popsicle, "I-I think so, b-but I can't make out his features, I don't know who or where I know him from, he just looks strangely familiar..." "Whatever, here, let's take a picture to remember this day!" He said taking his phone out. "Ok!" "Here you take it!" He said handing me his phone, I set it up at the 'perfect angle' with the 'perfect lighting' and said "3" he followed with "2" and I said "1". Right there something happened, I'm not sure if it was a good or a bad thing, Laurance, he kissed me. My eyes widened when I felt his lips press against mine, but few seconds later I melted into it, we pulled away, him biting his lip, so cute... I stared at him admiring his features, he scratched his neck and I went back into reality,

"L-Laurance...W-Why did you do t-that?" "I-I'm sorry, I should have known you didn't like me, I'm just your friend..." He looked down playing with his fingers, "N-No, I-I, Laurance... I love you, you know this, I-I don't know what I feel, I don't want to be put through the same thing again, I-I---" "Stop. I would never do that to you, ever." "Laurance... C-can I show, or tell something?" "Y-Yes, anything." I pulled out my phone pulled up a picture,

"H-Hollow took this picture the day I was absent last year, he kissed Lillian..." "T...I'm sorry, it's too soon, I shouldn't have done that! I'm so stupid! I'm sor--" I shut him up by pulling his head towards mine as we stood up, put lips crashed together and he held my face, I haven't felt this way since Gene... "Laurance, I love you, maybe more than I thought I did, I just can't, This picture killed me, when Hollow sent this to me I stormed off to Gene's house and showed him it, in shock he tried to shut me up with a kiss, I punched him twice in the face and left running home. Recently I found out the Will protected me, he got him in trouble, but I just can't start anything new, I promised that I would never fall in love again, out of fear, and I just---" "T, you don't have to explain all of this to me, I just want you to be happy, I understand you don't want to be ready, but really, I can tell you are, you are the strongest and most loud mouthed person I know, Gene will always be a douche bag, but I am not goi g to be like him, I want to be able to hold you and be able to kiss your lips like I've wanted to." "I want that to, just I-I... I'm scared..." I looked down at the ground, I love Laurance, yes I want to be able to kiss him again, but what will everyone think? For the first time I am actually thinking about what other people think... "Don't be, that is why I am here...Terry, do you want to be my girlfriend?" "Laurance...I-I, yes." I saw a smile spread across his face as he came closer, he leaned in, and once again our lips connected, this day did not go the way I expected it too. He walked me back to my place, we talked about a lot of things, I knocked on the front door and waited by Laurance's side. Mom answered the door, "Hey mom..." "Hey honey, Laurance." "Hey Sabrina." "Thank you Laurance, for everything." I said walking inside, "Heh, bye T, Sabrina." With that mom closed the dire and I threw myself on the couch and sighed. "What happened?" Mom asked smirking, "I have a boyfriend now..." "ANNA!!! GIGI!!!! YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!" Mom. Screamed, my eyes widened and the girls came running downstairs screaming with excitement, "AHHHHHG!!!! IS HE A GOOD KISSER!!?!" "HOW ARE HIS LIPS!!!!?!" "HIS ARMS???!" "HIS HAIR!!!?!" The girls squealed jumping up and down, "Everything about him is amazing...I've always known that, just now I am noticing them a little more..." The three girls smile and I walked up to my room, goodbye single life, sorry Zianna... And Beyoncé, I have betrayed you both...
