Give It A Chance

•11•

Me, Will, and Brayden walked into the kitchen. The other Cube members stopped their conversations and looked at us. Poke looked at me suspiciously, I needed to tell him something.

"Poke?, can I talk to you?" I asked sincerely.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" We walked away from everyone else.

"I can't, I can't go, I can't go out with you anymo-"

Bee walked in and cut me off. "What's wrong babe?"

What's.
Wrong.
Babe.
Babe.

"I can explain Lily, see, me and Bee create funky nicknames for each other, and mine is ba-"

"DON'T EVEN FINISH THAT SENTENCE" I screamed.

Will walked in and I looped my arm around his elbow.

"I have better things to do WITH WILL, then hang out with you. And Bee? How could you do this to me? I thought we were friends."

I kissed Will again, (just to make Poke jealous) and stormed into the kitchen.

"Heryee Heryee!" I said in a joking matter. "I came to declare that Loke is now a thing! Poke cheated on me with...Bee" It sounded even worse coming out of my mouth. Everyone cheered..except for Brayden.

•B R A Y D E N•
Will and Lily were now dating?! I couldn't believe this. I thought we had feelings for each other. I had been the one to comfort her when Poke cheated for the first time, and that must have meant something to her? Maybe? I wasn't mad, just sad, no wait, not sad..depressed.

***End of the day***

I had made up with Bee, but I didn't look at Poke at all since the incident. Brayden offered to take me out for dinner. I kindly accepted and went to get changed.

"Why are you so dressed up?" Will asked.

"I'm going out for dinner with Brayden!" I said excitedly.

"No you're not. You're dating ME."

I glared at him. "You think because we're dating, you get to OWN me?"

"I don't think this is a good idea, cmon put your sweatpants on, we'll watch a movie."

"Don't tell me what to do, I'm going to dinner with Brayden wether you like it or not."

"You are NOT going." He said, looking angrier than usual.

"Try and stop me." He didn't move, I walked past him and met Brayden outside.

"Hey! I don't want to be a problem between you and Will, if you don't want to go, you don't have to." Brayden said sweetly.

"No, I wan't to go, definitely!" I grabbed his hand and walked to the car.

***Arrives at Olive Garden***

"A booth!" I yelled and ran over to the table beside the window. I watched as Brayden tried to keep up with me.

•B R A Y D E N•

She was so cute, the way she smiled and laughed, everything! How could Poke have cheated on her? The way she ran was even cute. I just wanted to hold her hand, I wanted her to be mine.

•L I L Y•

I couldn't eat my bread sticks without thinking about Will. Why did he not want me going? Did Brayden do something in the past? Was he upset at Brayden? Or was this whole thing because of jealousy? I guess Brayden could tell I was upset.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"Yeah, yeah...I'm f-fine" I broke into tears. Brayden switched sides of the booth and hugged me. I dug my crying face into his chest. The tears would not stop coming, I knew for Brayden's sake, to keep my voice down as much as I could so no scene was made.

When I finally gathered myself together, Brayden was still holding onto me. I thanked him for comforting me, and we were ready to order, thank God I had no makeup on, or that would be ugly.

I ordered a garden salad and Brayden ordered a steak and cheese sandwich.
(or whatever those things are called)

When we finished eating, Brayden payed and we drove back home. I stepped out of the car and in front of the door, hugged him again.

"Thank you for a great night Brayden. I had fun..well except for crying..but after that it was really fun!" I started laughing.

"Anytime Lily, I'll always be there for you."

"Thanks, Brayden, love you."

•B R A Y D E N•

She said.."love you" !!! I know she didn't mean "love" but it was still a step up from "see you bro"

•L I L Y•

To my NOT surprise, Will was standing there with an annoyed expression.

"Did you have fun?!!?!?!" Will said in a mocking, and very stupid tone.

"I did!!1!2!" I replied back with the same tone.

We just stared at each other for awhile, I was letting him start the next conversation.

"Why did you do that to me?" Will asked. 

"You mean GO OUT WITH MY FRIEND?" Because I see no problem with that.

"Well, Brayden's a boy and I'm a boy so it-"

"ARE YOU SAYING THAT I CAN'T GO OUT WITH MY FRIENDS THAT OUR GUYS? DOES HAVING A PENIS OR A VAGINA EFFECT THE WAY I'M TREATED? NO, IT DOESN'T. I AM ALLOWED TO HAVE DIFFERENT SEX FRIENDS AND IF THAT ANNOYS YOU THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU."

"No, no Lily you can have guy friends, it's just I'm worried about you."

"Worried about what? That I'll cheat on you? Is that what you think I've come to?"

"Lily, I'm not gonna argue with you right now. Just know I love you. And by the way, you're cute when you're angry."

He smiled and walked to his bedroom. I rolled my eyes then went to mine. "oh God" I thought to myself then fell alseep. I was glad our argument was done with, but I was still mad, I can have guy friends.

I was glad that I decided to go out with Brayden. I had a good time.. and was..happy.
