Becoming Us Again

Chapter 15: Best Friends

The next week, now, my period finally finished. Seth has been going left and right, trying to cater to all my needs. I try not to whine or make any sounds of pain, but whenever I do, Seth freaks out.

It's cute how he worries, but I wish that he'd just try to relax. I'm not dying here. Plus, it's a part of the cycle of a girl's life, it's not the best part, but we have to deal with it.

The whole time I was on my period, Seth wouldn't let me got to school because and I quote 'What if you suddenly feel pain and end up crouching on the floor and you die???'.

I told him it was utterly ridiculous he'd think that, but he didn't accept my answer so that's why I haven't been to school in a week and same with Seth. He wanted to take care of me.

His parents covered for the both of us and now it's currently Thursday. I started school on Monday, but it was just the same old till today.

Since the whole period fiasco, Seth has been driving Max and me everywhere. If we needed to get to school, Seth would drive. If I needed to go to the grocery store, Seth would come right away. If I had to take Max to the park so he can play with his friends, Seth came.

It was nice of him. I really appreciated it, but he even did it after my period ended. His excuse was he wanted to protect Max and I. We're really important to him. I get that. My parents aren't here as much or even at all and Seth just doesn't want to seem like he's abandoning us. But I wish he'd just realize that I, as well as Max, could never feel that way.

Though, Max loves that Seth is over more. They're always playing games and hanging out. It makes me love Seth more. You know what they say, a man is more attractive when he's good with kids. It's true. Knowing Seth gets along with kids, definitely makes me think about our future and I know he does too.

Seth is currently next to me, chatting with Damien while I'm taking my books out for next class. One more class before lunch. I can do this.

"So what are we doing tomorrow?" Damien asks.

I shake out of my thoughts. "What?"

"What are we doing tomorrow? It's Friday, remember?" Seth repeats.

"Oh, um... I never really thought about it. I kinda forgot we were all hanging out." I chuckle.

Damien shakes his head playfully. "Your head always in the clouds." He teases.

"Ha ha ha. You're one to talk, Mr. I'm obsessed with Penelope that I can't stop staring at her." I tease.

"Hey, you have to admit, my girl is fine." Damien defends.

"That she is. She's excited for your date on Saturday." I smile.

Damien smiles. "Really?"

I nod. "Well yeah. She really likes you."

"Good, I really like her too." He sighs in relief.

"You sound like a pussy." Seth teases.

"You're one to talk. 'Oh Angelika, Angelika, Angelika. I miss my beautiful girlfriend. I love her so much. Blah, blah, blah." Damien mimics.

I laugh while Seth turns into a tomato. "That's so cute baby." I coo.

Seth frowns. "I don't sound like that."

"Yes, you do. You talk about how you love and miss her and you literally just saw her before you drove over to my house last night." Damien says.

"Okay, but is it so wrong to love and miss your beautiful girlfriend?" He winks at me.
