Alexandria And Ezekiel

Ezekiel

I paced in my living room. It had been 20 minutes since Alex sent me that message. Calm down keep it together! I was very nervous about what would happen tonight. If she even shows up. I didn't know if she would back out or not. Sometimes her nerves and anxiety cause her to do that. I was about to give up on the hope that she would come over when I heard the doorbell. I quickly walked over to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it. There she was. Same clothes she had been wearing at school, slightly messy hair, and a bandage around her right hand. I'll ask her about that later. "Well I'm here. What do you need to talk to me about?", she asked. She made no move to come inside, so I stepped out of the way.
"Come inside and we'll talk.", I said. She hesitated at first then walked inside. She stood in front of the love seat as I sat on it. "Please sit down.", I asked. She sat down and stared at the floor.
"Now can we start?", she mumbled.
"Of course. First off, I had you come over because I wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry I freaked out and got jealous. I didn't know Jeremy was gay. I thought you two were back together. That was my bad. Second, I wanted to tell you that I don't hate you. I know you probably think I do but I don't. I hope you don't hate me though. I feel like you don't like me now.", I stated as I lightly grabbed her hands. She looked up at me with a little shock on her face. I guess she never thought I'd apologize.
"I never thought you'd be jealous. Honestly I am hurt. Not just because of what happened at the park though.", she said as she pulled her hands away.
"Tell me why you're hurt and what hurt you. Tell me everything that's on your mind. Please tell me Alex.", I asked.  She didn't speak. She only stared at the floor. "Dammit Alex talk to me!", I raised my voice a bit. She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
"Fine. I'm hurt because you called me you're friend earlier today and all I could think was "oh I'll forever be just a friend to him!" Then you go and kiss Elizabeth after she hurt me. After all the things you told me about how much you hate her! I feel so lied to and deceived! And to top it all off you go off on me and Jeremy like we're doing something wrong! It wouldn't matter if we were dating though since I'm just your friend! Why does it matter to you anyway!?!?", she yelled. I stared at her in shock. She's never yelled at me before. I guess this really means a lot to her.
"Alex Elizabeth kissed me. She did it to hurt you. I hurt her after she did it. I promise I would never hurt you like that on purpose! And honestly you're more than just a friend to me.", I stated.
"Let me guess I'm just best friend.", she said through gritted teeth. I got up and went to my room. I quickly grabbed the taffy, bear, and rose. When I walked back into the living room she had her face in her hands. She wasn't crying though. I noticed a little blood coming through the bandage.
"Alex?", I said. She looked up at me. Her eyes looked a little pink. She was crying not too long ago. She noticed the stuff I was holding and looked confused.
"What's all this for?", she asked. I walked over and sat the stuff next to her.
"Its all for you. All of your favorite things. I got them for you so you would forgive me. And to show you how i really feel. Jeremy told me to explain how I feel, but the only thing that comes to mind is......I love you....", I whispered. She stared at me in shock. Her mouth was hanging open and her hang was covering it.
"Do you really?", she asked.
"Yes I definitely do. I have since the day I met you.", I answered. She looked down sadly.
"You wouldn't love me if you knew what I did.", she whispered while a tear rolled down her cheek. I knew what she was talking about so I grabbed her hand. I put her palm up and slid her sleeve up. Her eyes went wide and she tried to pull away. I held her hand tightly though.
"Just wait don't freak out yet.", I stated. I pull up her other sleeve and then pulled up both of mine. "See I do it too. I still love you. I hope you can still love me.", I whispered as I looked at the floor. She stood up and stared at my arm. Her small, slender fingers ran delicately up and down my arm. Then, she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.
"Of course I still love you. I'll never stop.", she promised. I smiled and hugged her back. When we pulled back from the hug I laid my hand on her cheek. I lightly grabbed her chin and pulled her face close to mine. The kiss was short but felt like it lasted forever. Her lips were so smooth and soft. We pulled away and smiled at each other.
