Bed of Roses - Finished

Chapter 2- Friends Forever

Once we got to my house we both get out of the car and walk to the door. I walk in first and as usual, my parents aren’t home, not that I expect them to be. They usually come home about once a month for like 3 days and then they are gone again. I walk to the front room and turn on the lights and Nick follows behind me, he knows that as much as I hate to admit it I really wish my parents were home more. I really appreciate all the work they do to keep a roof over my head and food on the table but what is the point if I never get to see them. Nick sits down on the couch and smiles at me, “so what movie do you want to watch tonight?” “I don’t care, whatever you want to watch will be fine,” I shrug my shoulders. He turns on the TV and goes to the movies, and picks up ‘Tommy Boy’, which is one of my favorite movies! I smile at him as he puts it in the DVD player.  I get up and walk into the kitchen and make some popcorn and grab some chips and drinks, me and him both like Pepsi so I grab 2 and put it on the counter as I wait for the popcorn to finish.

The microwave beeps and I grab a bowl and dump the popcorn into it, my parents put money into my account while they are out of town so I can buy food and other necessities. But most of the time I but things that are easy to cook, like frozen and box meals, and junk food. I grab all the snacks and make my way to the front room. While I was in the kitchen Nick got the movie set up and made the couch comfy with pillows and blankets, he obviously knows where everything is because my house is like his second home. He even has a room at our house where he had some clothes for when he stayed the night. I put the snacks on the coffee table, and ran to my bedroom before we watched the movie so I could change into my pajamas. When I was done changing, I went back to the front room and sat down next to Nick. We sit back and watch the movies while munching on popcorn and chips.

I don’t know when, but sometime during the movie I fell asleep, I felt myself being picked up and brought down the hall to my bedroom. I knew it was nick carrying, he was really strong.  He put me in my bed and covered me up I heard him walk out of my room and I fell back asleep.

That night I had a dream, and it was really weird, I dreamed that me and nick were dancing and then something, or someone ran into me and I couldn’t get up, I was stuck. And I saw someone grab nick and start to pull him away from me, and at first he just went with them, and my heart broke. But then when he was almost to a door, that seemed to just magically appear, he started to fight them and ran towards me, and it felt like forever before he finally made it to me. And when he got to me he knelt down next to me and picked me up and just hugged me,  and when he did I felt complete.

I heard my alarm going off, and rolled over, and hit the clock until it turned off. I looked and it was 8 am, and I just had to ask myself, why do I have an alarm going off on a Saturday morning? I have no clue. I looked around my room, I had tan walls, and dark brown carpet, and dark brown curtains. My bed spread matched and we brown and tan along with my pillows and sheet. Then I remember the weird dream I had last night, well part of it at least. I remember I was dancing with Nick and fell, and he came to me and hugged me. But that’s all I remember, I don’t know how I fell, but it doesn’t really matter, it was just a dream. I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen, and decide I am going to make breakfast for me and Nick, I know he will sleep until I wake him up with the smell of food.

I made eggs, bacon and pancakes.  I put it all on the table and walked towards Nick’s room and knocked on the door. Of course he didn’t answer, so I opened his door and walked in, the room was pretty plain, white walls, brown carpet and black curtains, his bed had a white and black color scheme. I started walking towards the bed and tripped over his shoe and fell onto the bed. Nick’s eyes popped open and he look at me. I could tell I was blushing, I was pretty embarrassed, I mean, I just fell into bed with by best friend. I could imagine the rumors that would start if the girls at school heard about this. Not that they ever would, because I sure wouldn’t tell them and neither would Nick. I got up really fast, blushing as I stood up dusting myself off. “What, are you afraid you’re going to get cooties from touching the bed or something”, Nick said with a sideways grin as I dusted myself off. “Of course, I don’t know where you have been”, I said teasingly. “Well, you shouldn’t have jumped onto the bed if you are afraid of my germs”, he said with a full smirk now. “I didn’t jump onto your bed, you sabotaged me! You probably did it on purpose too! You stuck your shoe in the middle of the room so I would trip on it.” I said embarrassed that he thought I tried to jump onto his bed while he was sleeping. I mean, sure we have been friends for years, but I still get embarrassed sometimes. “I was just kidding Abby” he said with a full smile. “Psssh, I know that”, I said with a full blush, “well come on, breakfast is ready.” That got him out of bed really fast. He jumped up and ran toward the kitchen, he is such a goof!

I walked to the kitchen and saw Nick making himself a plate of food; I sat across from him at the 4 seat table and made myself a plate of food too. “So, are we going to play games or watch a movie first”, Nick asked me.  “I was thinking about playing games, and then watching a movie, but it doesn’t really matter to me, whatever you want to do. Are you spending the night again tonight?” Saturdays, are our day to watch movies and play games and just have best friend time, he usually goes home around 9 at night, but sometimes he spends the night again. “I wish I could, but I can’t mom and dad want me home by 9, because we have to go to a wedding in the morning. My cousin Angie is getting married, and her wedding starts at 11, but we have to leave at like 9.” “Oh, ok. Well that sounds fun,” Nick’s Family is super close, they all have Birthday parties together, and weddings. It’s really nice. I don’t really have any extended family, I think my dad has a sister, but I have never met her. They don’t talk to each other, so I never met her. “I wish you could come, but we are riding with my cousins and there isn’t enough room in the car, and it’s probably going to be boring anyway.” I could tell he felt bad that I couldn’t come with; he is always worrying about me. “I will be fine, I will probably just play video games or something, maybe order a pizza and have a party without you!” I said teasingly, I hated and loved when he worried about me. I hated it because he shouldn’t have to worry about me, but at the same time, I loved how he cared for me so much. It felt nice to have someone who cared for me. “Ha ha,” He said sarcastically. He tried to keep a straight face, but I knew he was joking by the smirk that was coming through.  I couldn’t help but laugh at him and once I started laughing he started laughing too.

The rest of our breakfast went on like that, just having fun and joking around with each other. Once we finished eating, we cleaned all our dishes and went to the front room. We played video games, and watched movies and played board games. I felt so happy when Nick was around me, and I just hoped we could be friends forever.
