I Was Here All Along. (Lisa Cimorelli)

Friends Forever

Lisa's POV

Ty was coming over. This was my chance to fix everything. To put everything right and to get things back to normal again with Ty. I had honestly missed him a lot but I had never felt it until now because I had Matt to fill in for him.

Would I call Matt one of my best friends? I don't know. We aren't exactly as close as me and Ty were, but we have been hanging out a lot over the past few weeks.

Matt wasn't my best friend though. Ty was. Ty was the one who had been there for me when I broke my arm at 13. He was there for me when I hated myself at 15. He was the first one I gave my number to at 16. And he was the first one I drove around when I got my full license at 18.

Ty had been there through the various stages of my life. Matt was just a friend. Matt was a crush. I couldn't let a crush come between a friendship.

I had to keep this thought mentally in my head for future reference. After tonight, I wanted me and Ty to be friends forever. I didn't want another fight or argument.

I looked over at the clock. I didn't know what time Ty would be here, but I hoped he'd get here soon. I wanted to put everything right as soon as he got here so we could enjoy the rest of the night and make up for all the times we've missed in the past few weeks.

"Hey Lise, you alright?" I heard Christina ask as she came into the room interupting my thoughts.

"Oh yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked her casually

"Well, you were kind of staring at that wall for a while. I don't know what's so interesting about a blank white wall but if that's how you like to spend your time, so be it!" she said sarcastically, "Seriously, what's wrong? And don't lie to me and tell me nothing, because I can tell!"

I sighed, there was really no point in lying to Christina. She could read my face like a book.

"Alright," I began, "I'm just kind of nervous about what's going to happen with Ty tonight. He's coming over and I haven't really spoken to him in a few weeks so I don't know how it's going to go down. And I also think he's angry at me for that night I ditched him; which I realise was wrong now but I guess I can't change what I did. I just want to be best friends again, but I don't know if he'll want to, or if he'll even forgive me for leaving him."

"Lisa, of course he'll forgive you. You're his best friend! Of course he'll want the friendship back just as you do. Don't worry about it, it'll be fine. Just act like you always do around him" Christina said casually. It was as if those words came right out of her mouth and she didn't even need to think about it!

Just then there was a knock at the door. I stood up, but I was hesitant to go down and open the door. Christina gave me a look.

"Act like you always do. You always run down and open the door for him. Just act normal, it'll be fine." Christina said to me

With that, I decided to run down the stairs and open the door.

"TY!" I yelled when I opened it. I went to hug him, and to my surprise he hugged me straight back!

Maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as I thought it would be. But then he pulled away, and looked me straight in the eye.

"Lisa, can we talk please?" he said

I knew what he wanted to talk about but I was still scared and worried. But then I remembered what Christina had said. Just be normal.

"Yeah sure, let's go to my room" I said as we walked up the stairs.

We sat down in silence for a while until it got awkward. I was expecting him to say something since he was the one that wanted to talk. But then, I decided to make things normal and started the conversation.

"Ty, I'm really sorry about ditching you that night. I really can't say sorry enough for it. I feel so bad. I just got caught up in the moment and I forgot. I'm really sorry Ty, I truly am." I looked at him sincerely

"You've mentioned that." he said laughing at himself.

I was just glad that he could make jokes and that we were happy again.

"Lisa, let's just forget about this. I don't need an explanation or anything We're best friends. Never forget that. And I realise Matt wanted to hang out with you. I mean, who wouldn't? You're a great person! I know you won't always be available for me. I realise that, and it's completely fine!" he said smiling at me

"But Ty, I want to be here for you. Forever. I'm always here for you. I'd cancel anything to be with you for something important. I'm sorry about everything and can we just move on to the next chapter and forget this bump?"

"That's exactly what I intended to do Lise." Ty said

The rest of the night was just us hanging out and doing normal best friend things. I was glad Ty was back in his place and I was so grateful he understood.

I only hoped that he wasn't jealous of Matt. Matt was a good guy, and I hoped Ty could see that. Maybe one day I could have a day with both Ty and Matt and then they'd get to know each other!

Yes! That was a great idea! Maybe then, we could all be friends and everything would be cool!

(A/N Sorry this was really boring ahha.

Um I have another Lauren Cimorelli story called "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" so if you could go read that and vote on it and add it to your library or whatever that would be pretty cool! Um, thank you for everyone that's reading this and also ANMHE. Yeah, thank you <3 xx
