Kiss me in your dreams

Chapter 8 " the best of friends"

P.O.V Nichols

We walked over to the couch and set down , I looked at Amber nervously before trying to muster the words, but before I could Zach cut me off " look I only ever bullied you because that day.... We stopped being friends, I wasn't mad we kissed, I was upset I liked it... And at the time I didn't know how to process it, but I do now, I wanna be with you more then anything else in the world right now. I know I fucked up in our past but I wanna really make it better, if you'll let me. The room then got silence for a few minutes before Amber broke it, " you can't honestly be buying this bullshit are you Nick?" I set there thinking about it before finally responding " your right, after all the shitty things you've done to me, and how you made me feel for all these years, I didn't have much respect for myself then so I know why it was so easy for you to disrespect me, but I'm over that, I love and respect myself enough? I'm to say no. He then got up and was about to try to hug me but I blocked it, " I think you should go now". Amber then got up and walked over unlocking the door as she gestured for him to leave, " so that's how you feel Nick, fine I give you time but I'm not giving up he said as he left. Amber shut the door then turnt to me " what the fuck, you got a lot of explaining to do.

30 minutes later

After telling Amber everything I collected our plates as I took then  to the kitchen as Amber followed, " so what are you gonna do?" I set there washing the dishes thinking before letting out a deep frustrated breath "I don't know". We then walking back up to my room where I threw myself on my bed " my life has never been this complicated, I actually miss my simpler days at this point." Amber simply shook her head as she laid next to me, " yeah babes I don't know, but I do know your gonna have to make a choice Ed or Zach." I knew she was right it just was to stressful to think about at the moment. As I laid there I ended up falling to sleep, once I had awoke Amber had left and it was late, it was like 2:30am. I rubbed my eyes as I looked around my bed until I finally found my phone, as I hit my button I realized I missed 43 calls. 10 from Amber, 13 from Ed, and 20 from Zach, I rolled my eyes as I dropped back on my bed as I locked my phone back and sighed, it was so much easier being nobody I thought as I drifted back to sleep.

The next day I got up a bit drowsy still wipping the sleep from my eyes as I checked my clock which read 10:30am, I yards and stretched a little before getting up and getting into the shower. After about 10 minutes I was out and checking my phone to see a had a text from Ed.

Ed: We still on for tonight?
Me: Yea of course😊.
Ed:Great I'll see you around 8😚.

I laid back on my bed as I thought to myself " what a complicated web we weave for ourselves", I was then pulled out of my thoughts by the doorbell which made me jump a bit. I put on my robe not feeling like putting on clothes as I lazily made my way to the door, I finally opened to see Amber with a McDonald's bag " hungry? I brought breakfast" she said as she showed herself to my room, I just followed. Once in my room she plopped down on my bed as she opened the bag and pulled out her hash brown taking a bite before speaking, " so you going on the date tonight?", yeah I already told him I would and I'm actually looking forward to it. "I'd be to if I had tall dark and sexy", Amber said as she winked at me causing me to roll my eyes." So what about Zach?", honestly after wanting him when being abused by him I think I'm finally over him and his bullshit, and I'm gonna tell him that when we go back to school I said firmly now taking a bite of my hash brown. "That's good, I'm proud of you finding your own voice and shit, you like it don't you?" She asked as she eyed me, yeah I do, it feels empowering. After spending the morning with Amber she finally left to go to the mall and I began cleaning the house, about 2 hours passed of me cleaning and I was finally done, and it was around 5:30 and I went up to my room to take a nap before the date, but before I did I picked out my outfit. It was my long sleeve crop top with hole in it with my red leather skinny jeans with my black leather zip up biker boots, after picking out my outfit I went and laid down and drifted into my sleep. About 2 in half hours later Ed called to let me know he was running a bit late so we were going to a later show time, which I had no complaints about I over slept anyway. After getting myself together I made my way to the shower, and after about 15 minutes I was out and getting dressed. By the time I was done Ed was texting me he was outside, I left out and got in his car and her smiled at me cheesely before pulling off. Half way into the ride Ed turn down the music before making small talk, so how was your day?, it was good I spend most of it with Amber my best friend. That's good, isn't she the chick with the purple hair? He said cutely with his country accent, it was so cute I don't think could ever get tired of it, I was snapped back to the conversation by Ed Uhm? Yeah that's her. How long you two have known each other? Well we actually just met this year but our connection is the most genuine thing I've felt in a minute yah know? Yeah I get you guy he said flashing me his pearl whites one more time before pulling into the movies parking lot. We then walked into the movies hand in hand, it was a wonderful feeling, we walked over to window and purchased our tickets to insidious chapter 2 until I heard my name. I turned to come face to face with Zach, I sighed deeply subconsciously but just turned back to pretend I didn't hear him until he came over.

Zach: So you just let me pour out my feelings to you yesterday to be on a date with him today?

Me: I told you I didn't wanna be with you and I can see who I want.

Zach went grab me but Ed stepped into the middle.

Ed: He said it's a no go buddy, kind I think bets mosey elsewhere.

Zach: I think you bets mind your business pal, Zach said pushed Ed, I tried to step into to stop it from escalating but before I knew it they had broke out into a full fist fight.

Hey guys I know I've been slacking big time but I've been working on another story but I have a bunch of chapters coming up😉
