A Year With Williams

Chapter 34

Day 293

"You know Emmy, the road you are walking on has a dead end." Ramona's voice break me out my daydream.

Wait was I day dreaming about again?

"What do you mean?" I ask her while copying the notes.

"You know, Max....."

"Ramona....." Mrs Smith's warning tone makes us go back to work.

"Well you can't like him." Ramona whispers.

"And why is that?"

"Because Rachel loves him."

I ponder over that statement. Love has always been a big word for me. I only say it when I mean it.

I wouldn't ever be able to say that I love Max. Simply because I don't. Yes there is an undeniable attraction and maybe a little bit liking. But love is something I haven't felt in a long time.
And I don't know if I want to and if I will.

"You should stop. " she suggests.

"Don't you think it's tad a bit late for that. In addition to this how can you be so sure that Rachel loves him. Last time I had asked her she told me she adored him as a friend. Why wouldn't she tell me otherwise if she seriously loves him?"

"Well if someone asks you would you go claiming your love?"

"First of all, I do not love him. Get this fact clear. Love is a big word and a big emotion. Don't use it so casually. It's a big deal. Secondly, if someone asks me if I like him, I wouldn't play-pretend. I would quit openly admit it."

With that I stand up to submit my notes.

Handing my notebook to Mrs Smith and come back and sit.

"Well, if she tells you the truth. Would you back down."

Well if she really does love him and he has some feelings for her. Then why would I be the third wheel.

"Very well, then I will."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You are crazy." I comment.

"Hot crazy." Max corrects me.

I scoff.

"Don't be so full of yourself now."

"You like me anyway." He says.

For a moment I think he knows but the mischievous look in his eyes gives it away.

"HA HA Max. Keep dreaming."

"Emmy" Rachel's high pitched voice cuts of his reply.

"I'll catch you later." I say and walk to Rachel.

"What is it?" I ask her on reaching her.

"I know what you are doing." She says putting her hands on her waist.

"I know what I am doing too. I am making a conversation."

She rolls her eyes being the dramatic ass she is.

"That is not what I meant. I meant I know that you like Max."

"Well Damn, I am so proud of you Sherlock. Case closed." I say clapping my hands together.

She narrows her eyes at me clenches her jaw. I think I touched a nerve.

Well good I did.

"You know that I love him. Stay away. Max anyways like girls who come falling at his feat. Stop being so desperate. He is my man. Back off."

For a moment over here, I am taken aback on her sudden outburst.

But instead of answering back, like I should, I nod and walk off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I really don't know Penny. I don't think it's right for me to fight. She loves him." I mutter on the phone

" That bitch just called you desperate for attention! How DARE she called my best friend that! Are they both dating? No they aren't! Then she gets no right to tell you to back off. Even if they were dating, she can't tell you that!" Penny almost screams back.

"But Penny, I am extra. I just came and he barely knows me. They have history together. I don't think I should continue with this."

"Emmy, if at a job interview there is someone who loves the job and you have applied for the same job, would you back out because they love the job?"

"No... I want the job too."

"Exactly. Maybe you deserve it more than they deserve. Then why are you giving up?" Penny asks me in a soft voice.

"I like him Penny. I really do. But the problem is I can't picture myself with him in future. I don't love him. I don't think I can love him."

"Is he what you want? What you need?" She asks.

"Yes."

"Is he worth it? Worth you? Worth the friendship?"

"I think so."

"Is he worth fighting for?"

"Yes."

The line gets quite for a moment.

"Then fight for him." She says.

I think for a moment that how could I live without this girl in my life. Like I appreciate you bitch. I love that you handle me. I love you

"Okay. I love you girl."

"I love you too." Penny says and I could sense the smile in her voice.

"I'll call you tomorrow?" I ask

"You better do."
