My Best Friend || Joel Pimentel

Chapter 12

"Zandra, are you okay?"asked Francine.

"Um yea everything's fine. Go back to sleep I'm fine."

"If you're fine then why are you crying?" She turned on the light and put on her glasses.

"Don't worry about. I promise you I'm fine." I put the blanket over my head.

"Zandra every girl knows that the word 'fine' doesn't mean your fine. Come here." I sighed and went on my bed with her. She pulled the blanket up to our chest. "Now tell me what's wrong?"

"Remember Joel? My best friend who I talked about on Monday?" She nodded, "Well I told him about Zachary asking me to homecoming, at first he didn't seem cool about it but later on he was, and then I told him how Zack kissed me and-"

"Zack kissed you?!" She yelled quietly.

"Yes but I didn't kiss back though. And he got so mad and he was being too over protective and I got annoyed and yea you know how I get when I'm in a bad mood. And now I regret everything, I honestly feel like everything is my fault. Everyone keeps on saying to give each other time, but I miss him a shit load."

"Zandra nothing is your fault, Joel is just over exaggerating. And yes everyone are saying that because it is the best option. He will realize soon that no one will love and support him like you would. And plus I'll help you get through this." She hugged me.

"Thanks Franny." I hugged back and went back to the floor, "Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight."

.

Its now December! My favorite month. Homecoming was amazing with Zack. He was such a gentleman. He helped me off the limo, open the door for me, pulled the chair for me, danced with me, showed me off to his friends, it was a really nice night.

I haven't talked to Joel for over a month now. Am I still upset about it? No. Do I still miss him? Of course. But it's his lost right? Today is December 13th. My friends and I decided to go to the mall and go catch a movie. I'm currently at the food court with Zach Lizzy and Mathew while Heather and Franny are still waiting to order.

These group of guys came over where we were sitting, one of them got close to me, he is a dirty blonde with green eyes, "Hey cutie, I'm no weatherman, but you can expect a few inches tonight." He said and wink at me. I rose an eyebrow.

"If you don't go away right now, you'll regret it once your on life support." Lizzy said looking straight at him.

"Ha what are you going to do? Blow your sparkles all over me?" He said.

"If I were you I would run before the three of us attacks you." Matthew said. He took Matthew's advise quickly and ran away.

"Thanks guys." I told them.

"Anything for our friend." Lizzy said.

Zachary then got our food. We all ate up and head to the movie theaters. We all decided to watch Kramps. Yes a horror movie.

During the movie I screamed, jumped, and cried. Everyone was recording me. Finally the movie was over.

"So Zandra, how was the movie?" I looked and saw that Zachary was recording me. I looked at him and covered his camera. I grabbed his phone and stop recoding.

.

The day has gone by really quickly. Zachary is being really kind to take me home. Over the past three months we have gotten closer and closer. He's such a gentleman, he has defended me when guys try to hit on me and protected me when some girls wanted to fight me. Yea long story short we we're fighting about Zack.

"And here we are Princess." Ugh that word hurts my soul.

"Thank you Zack." I said as I got out.

"Um Zandra could I ask you something?" He said nervously.

"Yes of course whats up." He got out of the car and went to his truck. He grabbed the guitar and help me up so I am now on the car looking down at him.

He started playing which sounded like the intro for Truly Madly Deeply.

" Am I asleep, am I awake, or somewhere in between?
I can't believe that you are here and lying next to me
Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught on a vine?

Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this,
I'm just the underdog who finally got the girl
And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world

Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you
In love with you

Should I put coffee and granola on a tray in bed
And wake you up with all the words that I still haven't said?
And tender touches, just to show you how I feel
Or should I act so cool like it was no big deal?

Wish I could freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this
I'll put this day back on replay and keep reliving it
'Cause here's the tragic truth if you don't feel the same
My heart would fall apart if someone said your name

And truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you

I hope I'm not a casualty,
Hope you won't get up and leave
Might not mean that much to you
But to me it's everything, everything

Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy deeply in love with you ,
In love with you
In love with you
With you, oh!

Zandra you make me feel like I'm the happiest guy in the world when I'm with you. And without you I'm literally nothing. You make me laugh on my down days and you make me smile when I'm serious. The moment I saw you I knew there was something special about you. So Zandra will you be my girlfriend?" He said.

Whoa he asked me out, I honestly don't know what to say. I have strong feelings for Joel but now its kinda disappearing and heading to Zachary. And honestly I love Zachary also.

"Zack-"
