Forever

Chapter XV

Hazel’s Point of View

 I haven’t talked to Chresanto in a week. I’ve also been in the house for a straight week because I don’t know what to tell him. I have talked to Princeton and he told me Chresanto has been asking about me. I grabbed my TV remote and changed to Moesha. Someone knocked on my bedroom.

 ‘’Come in.’’ I shouted. I seen the familiar short curls. Chresanto walked in, looking around my bedroom.

 ‘’Why is it so dark in here?’’ He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and got back under my sheet. I faced away from him, closing my eyes.

 ‘’What’s wrong, Haze?’’ He asked. I felt my bed dip down and someone touch my side. I shook my head and looked at my painted wall. I felt him get off of the bed. The light came on and blinded me. I clapped my hands and the lights went back off.

 ‘'Hazel, you are usually happy, now you’re depressed. What’s wrong so I can make you happy.’’ He begged.

 ‘’There is something but I can’t get it out.’’ I mumbled quietly.

 ‘’What is it? I’m always here.’’ He said rubbing on my arm.

 ‘’I don’t want to say it.’’ I said.

 ‘’I’m not pressuring you but this is not healthy.’’ He said.

 ‘’You want me to stay?’’ He asked.

 ‘’I don’t care.’’ I said closing my eyes. I felt a arm around around my waist. I sighed deeply then looked at the wall. Why does he have to be so fine? I heard a light snore, meaning he was asleep. I got out of my bed and walked into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth then looked at myself. I looked like a hot mess. I brushed my hair back and put it into a messy bun. I walked back into my bedroom and got back into bed.

 Why do I feel this way? He is just my best friend. Could we ever be together? He’s only here for the summer and I’m here every day. I don’t know why this happening to me? I just need to say it while he asleep. Maybe I’ll feel better.

 ‘’Okay. I really like you. I just don’t know how to say it when you’re awake. I want you to be my boyfriend but I know it’ll turn long distance because you got on tour and shit. I don’t know what it is but you make me feel exhilarating. Even though you’re asleep, I just had to get it out.’’ I said. I let out a breath in relief. I felt better now.

 I walked downstairs to the kitchen. My mom was on a business trip, my dad was doing business and Adrian is with my grandmother Joyce. I grabbed a bag of Hot Cheetos. I walked back upstairs into my bedroom. I opened the back and ate some. I grabbed my remote and went to Let Me Explain.

 ‘’Hazel.’’ Chresanto said in a raspy voice.

 ‘’Yeah?’’ I asked.

 ‘’I heard everything you just said.’’ He said. He got onto the floor next to me.

 ‘’What do you feel about it?’’ I asked. He grabbed my face and turned it. He looked me into my eyes then kissed me passionately. I pulled away and smiled.

 ‘’Let me take you on a date.’’ He said.

 ‘’Okay, but to let you know. I want to be wooed or you’re going back to being my best friend.’’ I said.

 ‘’Okay, well I have to go. See you tonight, beautiful.’’ He said kissing my cheek. He put on his Jordans and walked out. I grabbed my iPad and messaged Princeton.

 Prince: I told Chresanto and he is taking me on a date!!

 I locked my iPad and cheesed hard. I’m going on a date with the boy of my dreams. I got off of the floor and jumped onto my bed. My iPhone vibrated on my nightstand. I grabbed it and put in my passcode. It went to Chresanto and I’s messages.
