Just Friends

Chapter 19.

Chapter 19



I picked up my books. Finally school was finished for a while. Winter was coming in and that meant our school had a small break for a few weeks. I was starting to become worried though. I hadn't seen Cole since the last time we spoke which I was starting to get suspicious about. I missed his blonde hair and blue eyes. I'd seen Justin today flirting with some girl which I could care less about.

I walked out of the school that was rather quiet. I had stayed a little late to study and the sky was getting dark. I walked over to my car, chucking my books inside.

"What are you doing here?" A voice asked causing me jump.

I saw Justin standing there and I rolled my eyes. I had been trying to avoid him since our last incident in the hotel.

"I could ask the same about you." I replied, raising my eyebrow at him.

He chuckled leaning against his car that was only a few metres from mine. Of course we ended up meeting each other again and it kept seeming to happen.

"I needed to finish an exam I'd missed. I'm pissed that it's 5:30 and I'm just leaving school, but it had to be done." He shrugged.

"I was studying." I replied bluntly, opening my car door.

There wasn't much else to say. I knew that there were a few other students here. I didn't want them to hear Justin probably bring up the hotel night. Like they needed to know I'd spent a night in a hotel with Justin.

"Before you go. There's one thing I need to ask you." He told me, walking towards me and stopping.

"Hurry up." I mumbled.

"Do you not miss what we had?" He asked me, running his hand through his messy hair.

"Yeah. I do. But it's over and I've forgotten about it and I'm trying to forgot about you. You're making that very hard though." I said, sighing.

He half smiled and grabbed my hands, pulling me close to him and then leaning me up against the car pressing his body against mine. A small smile formed on his lips as he eyed my expression, which, however, wasn't a happy one.

"Ariana. You say I don't care about you're feelings but I do. You're the most important person to me in the world. I don't know what you're doing to me but I can't stay away from you." He said, growling on his last sentence.

I bit my lip as he pressed my hands up against the car, next to my chest. He held them securely as he gently pressed his lips against mine. Every time our lips touched, it seemed to get better. Our lips moved in sync as a small moan came from my mouth making him press against me harder.


Just as our kiss got rougher, someone cleared their throat causing me to push Justin off me. I turned around and saw Liz and Cole standing there. Cole was looking away but a smile was on Liz's face. I wanted to cry. Cole had just seen me kiss Justin.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt," Liz said, trying to hold her laugh. "But we were meant to take a ride home with you."

I completely forgot and I covered my hands over my face. I was embarrassed. I wouldn't have mind if it was just Liz but Cole had seen me. God. He probably hates me so much. Liz put her thumbs up to me as they both went around, sitting in my car leaving me and Justin alone.

Here I was again. Feeling stupid. Justin looked entertained. I looked embarrassed. Liz looked excited and Cole looked heartbroken. I raised my hand and slapped Justin's cheek, hard.
I don't know why I did it, but I did.

"Stop kissing me." I told him before I turned to the car. "Just leave me alone."

"Don't kiss back." He winked and walked towards his car.

I sat in the car that was full of awkward silence. If only I could be anywhere but here right now. Liz sat in the passenger sit while Cole sat in the back. I turned the car on as no one said a word. I was happy to see Cole but I could tell the feeling wasn't mutual. I suddenly felt horrible. Cole basically wasn't even my best friend anymore.

I mean, it sure didn't seem like it.

I stopped in front of his house and he quickly got out before he mumbled a thanks. I watched him walk away and I couldn't bear it. I quickly opened the door and ran up to him.

"Cole, wait." I breathed out, grabbing his arm.

"What? What do you want Ariana?" He asked, turning around impatiently.

"I want to talk to you."

He laughed cruelly which surprised me. He was never like this. Cole had obviously had enough of me.
"What do you want to talk about? How you and Justin were fucking making out on your car." He growled, pointing his finger at my car.

"Look, I know that you-"

"Ariana. I don't care anymore. Do what you want. Go fuck Justin if you want. I don't care anymore." He calmly said.

I felt tears fill my eyes and I tried shaking them away but they stayed right where they were. At least they hadn't fallen out, yet. I wouldn't cry. I can't cry. I don't cry.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked him, my voice slightly trembling.

He breathed and looked at the surroundings around us. I could tell by his expression that he was trying to think of what to say. He could tell I was about to cry, I know that.

"I'm saying that I don't want you in my life anymore." He said, almost a whisper.

What was I expecting? It's not like he was going to say that he loves me and wants to be best friends forever because in all reality, he looked at me the way I looked at Justin. I slowly turned around as Cole waited for me to say something. But I didn't. I just turned, walked away before he could see me cry.

---


Saturday morning had came leaving me alone in my bed, half the day. I didn't ever want to get up. My parents thought I was sick. That's what I told them when they asked me what was wrong.

I missed Cole. I missed Justin. I just wanted to lay here forever. Ever since that horrible day, everything has just gone down hill.
But what was really getting me down was the fact that Cole wanted me out of his life. It's a horrible feeling, but I'll respect it.

My door flung open and Liz walked in. She pouted when she saw me and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I'm so sorry, Ariana." Liz said as she continued pouting. "He didn't mean what he said. I think he just got angry when he saw you and Justin kissing."

"I just want to stop thinking about it." I replied hopping out of my bed.

It's no good sitting here in a bad mood when I can just forget about all my problems by doing something fun. It was winter break, after all.

"That's why, I've organised something for, uh, you and I to do." She stated nervously.

I stared at her for a while. She looked so nervous. She was hiding something, I could tell. She gave me a reassuring smile before gesturing me to get ready.

Once I got dressed, she drove me to the diner I'd been to many times before. Well, that wasn't so bad. I was pretty hungry. Having some food really wasn't a bad idea at the moment.

We hopped out the car and walked into the diner. Liz walked past all the tables and I wondered why, but still followed as she walked up to the counter and whispered something into the mans ear.

She made me follow her a little longer until we reached a small door. I looked at her confused but she was slowly unlocking it.

"This diner has some new seating areas." She said as she opened it slowly.

I walked in before her but she pushed me in harshly, before shutting the door. It was pure black and I felt myself fall over on something hard. My legs were wrapped around something, with my body pressed right against it.

This wasn't a seating area. She tricked me. Ugh. But what even for? I stopped when the thing I was laying on moved. What the hell?

"What the fuck?" It was a males voice that sound so familiar. There hands reached up and felt around my body. First they touched my stomach, then my breasts. I quickly jumped away too scared to say anything.

Then I realised who's voice it was.

Justin.

I heard him groan as he stood up. Liz fucking set this thing up. She did this on purpose. I ran to the door trying to open it but it wouldn't even move. I groaned as well, leaning against the wall.

"Who's here?" I heard Justin speak out. "Can you please fucking tell me? I've been in here for half an hour."

Was this even legal? To lock two people up together in what seemed to be a small closet.

"I know it's a girl. I'm sorry for feeling your boobs. They felt good though, on the brighter side of things." He said out of no where again.

Would right now be a good moment to cry? I think so. My phone got a message making it light up. I quickly covered it up before Justin could make out my face. There was no way I was going to let him know it's me in here.

Liz.
Have fun. Don't be too naughty in there with him. xoxoxoxoxoxox

"You have a phone. Thanks for reminding me that I have one." He mumbled as he pulled out his phone, obviously seeing the flash of mine.

I panicked as the light flashed on towards me and I quickly moved to the darkness. The light followed me until I stupidly bumped into Justin and he grabbed me, holding my waist firmly.

He shone the light in my face and I looked away as it blinded my sight. God, he's such an idiot. The flash hurts my eyes.

"Ariana?" He said confused.

I squirmed out of his grip and I searched for a light that might possibly be in here. My hands ran all over the wall and they stopped on a small bump. I flipped it and a dim light turned on. It was a very dark light and showed barley any of the room but it would do.

I saw Justin against the wall eyeing me and I did the same to him. I don't care how long we were going to be stuck in here, I didn't want him to be near me.

"How'd you get in here?" I asked him.

"Probably the same way you did. She said that we were going to get food and she pushed me in here." He sighed, sitting down on the floor.

I sat down to and laid back on the ground. I'll just fall asleep and hopefully when I wake up, Liz will be letting us out.

"Why do you think she locked us in here?" I asked him as I stared at the small light.

"I don't know, probably wants us to be friends again."

I sighed, turning on my side so my back was facing him.




J u s t i n

Her back was faced to me and I leaned my head against the wall. She was so fucking frustrating. I never got her. Maybe that's why I like her so much. Normally with girls, I have a different one each night. When she was my best friend, that's all that was to it.

Then that night we kissed and made love. I don't know. She's just had an effect on me. I fucking hate it. But I miss her. I hate thinking about her being with other guys. Especially Cole.

She turned around and faced me. Our eyes met and we stared at each other for a while. I wanted to grab her right now and kiss her senseless. She slowly bit her lip. Her lying on the floor either wasn't helping either.


A r i a n a

I bit my lip as I eyed him. I couldn't bear it. I couldn't bear being here with him. Why did he do this to me? He made me crazy. He made me feel so stupid and weak.

He stood up, walking over to the shelf and looking on the small objects on it. He ran his hand through his hair and that got me. I quickly stood up and grabbed. I wrapped my hands around his neck, kissing his perfect lips softly.

"I want you." I whimpered into his ear.

He spun me around, sitting me on the shelf that knocked everything off. He laid me down and crawled on top of me. He hungrily pressed his lips on mine as I gripped onto his shirt, pulling it off.

He continued kissing down my neck, softly licking my sweet spot. He moaned quietly as I whispered his name in pleasure.

He gently bit my lip as he pulled me closer. His soft lips on mine made me loose absolute control.

"I love you." I moaned out.

I stopped.
Shit.
Why did I say that?

I quickly pushed him off me, making my way to the door. I kicked it open running out of the small room. No one sat in the diner. It was quiet. I ran so far that I was only about 10 metres from my house. The rain started pouring. How ironic.

"Ariana, wait, stop." I heard Justin's voice behind me.

I turned around and he was way more wet than I was. The rain fell of his soft hair and he quickly pulled me towards him.

"Wait." He repeated again.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because I love you. I fucking love you Ariana. I just didn't realise it but I really fucking do. I love the way you laugh when you hear someone make a cheesy joke and how strong you are. I love your big brown eyes and how they twinkle when you smile. How you do so much for everyone and you're full of so much love. How you always brush your teeth before breakfast or when you try not to cry in sad movies. Everything, Ariana, about you is perfect. And I love you. I just can't believe I didn't realise it."

Before I could say anything, he cupped my face and pressed his lips roughly against mine.
