Broken inside

Chapter 5

Lizzy POV

        I woke up to the sounds of an x-box. I open my eyes and I see Daniel sitting on his bean bag chair, his x-box controller in hand. He was playing GTA 5. "Ugh, aren't you ever going to get old of that game," I say. He jumps, startled, and drops his controller. "Hahaha nope, you wish. And good you are awake, " he says . I sit up and stretch. I hop off Daniel's bed and I sit next to him on the floor. "Come on up on my bean bag chair with me, I don't bite," says Daniel laughing at his own joke. He moves over so there is room for me.

      "Why thank you M-lady," I say with a devious smile. "M-lady? Woman, as you can see I am a man, says Daniel. I roll  my eyes and say, "No, a boy. Not a man." "Haha, would a boy have a body like this," asks Daniel. He stands up abruptly and pulls off his shirt in a blink of an eye. His ripped, toned body startles me. I jump back and fall off the bean bag chair. "Well um...," I say. That's all I could get out of my mouth. I don't understand why his six pack always startles me. He's been my best friend for years.

       He walks over to me and bursts out laughing. "Don't judge me," I say with a red face, "And put your shirt on." "What if I don't want to," he says with the biggest smirk ever. "What if I want you to," I say. He just still has that smirk on. "So I guess I'll keep my shirt off," says Daniel. I just roll my eyes and say, "Ok then, I'll get you to put your shirt on."

    I try to get up but my hands slip on the wooden floor and I fall hard on my back. I hot my head on the floor and say, "Ow, shit." "You need some help princess," asks Daniel. "Maybe...," I mumble. He grabs my hands, pulls me up , and places me on my feet. "Thank you," I say. "Well I just wasn't going to leave you there," says Daniel with a chuckle. I look at him for a moment. I'm not looking at him in a sexual or greedy way, but just to observe them. His brown hair, his green eyes. They just fit so perfectly together.

    That's why he is my best friend, he's perfect. I love him, that's all I really have to say about Daniel. Since my parents ignore me and his parents are never around, that really means that I'm his family almost. He's my family too.

     I snap out of my daze and realize that Daniel isn't there. I take a look around but I don't see him. I quickly turn around and he's right there. Our faces are only inches apart. That smirk is on his face again, staring me in the face. I turn back around, I actually got scared. I felt his breath on my neck which sends shivers down my spine. He puts his hands on my shoulders and turns me around so I'm facing him. He stares deeply into my eyes, but he looks away. The he looks back and asks, "You want to play GTA?" "Sure why not," I say.

      We burst out laughing because that was such a stupid question to ask, especially right now. I don't really know what that moment was. I bet he doesn't know either. It wasn't awkward, but it wasn't ok either. There was something that we both felt, but I don't know what it was. Well maybe I'll find it out, maybe he will. Or maybe we just need to forget about it. I'm not going to talk about it though, now that would be awkward.

    I go over and sit in the bean bag chair. But as I'm about to sit down, Daniel slips in between the chair and I. So I now sit in between his legs. I just roll my eyes and as I grab two controllers. I give one to Daniel. I look up at him and he smiles warmly at me. I smile back at him. "I bet I can beat you high score," I say. "Haha in your dreams princess."
