Best friends or not

A Short Story

    She walked around the room, every time she took a step, she cried. Warm, satly tears ran down her face and onto to the floor. She thought back to what he said. ' We were friends until you stopped talking and hanging out with me!' She didn't stop talking to him on purpose. Her friends kept dragging her away from him. He never asked for her number, social medias, he would talk to her in person. Nothing more, nothing less. They would talk everyday. Her friends seen it, they wanted to stop it. Her friends would pull her away every time he and she would talk. Until one day they wouldn't talk at all.

   "My friends, oh my friends. They did this, they split us up." She thought to herself.

   She liked him. No, she loved him, but now. Now he hates her. She blames herself, she could have stopped it, but she didn't. She thinks he doesn't care, but he does. There is a knock on the door. He is standing there. Head to toe in water, he is shivering, lips are blue, skin is pale. He looks like he has been crying, his eyes are puffy and red. He looks her right in the eye. The 'I'm sorry' look is on his face. 

   " I didn't mean it. They pulled us apart, the girls, they did. I cannot be away from you any longer." He told.

  She still was crying, as she looked at the white wall and blinked. She turned her head and back to the door. He was not there. She had day-dreamed it all. As the door was slammed it made a 'whoosh' sound. She ran to her room, slammed that door as well. She plopped on her bed and cried even harder. Lying her head down on a pillow and crying, she slowly cried herself to sleep.

  She went to school with heartbreak, she seen him in the hallways. When they made eye contact, her eyes looked broken and his eyes went dark and cold. In class, she sat next to him and he wouldn't talk or look at her at all. As class ended, he walked right out. A tear ran down her cheek as she choked back a sob. The door was half way opened. She went right though the small crack of the door. She went right to the girls bathroom. Once again tear streaming down her face. They would always walk to class together, no matter how mad they were mad at each other. The bell had rang starting fourth period. She was going to skip class, she just couldn't see him. She was still crying when she heard a knock on the outside door of the girls bathroom. 

  "The teacher wants you to come out." A voice rung though the bathroom.

  "It's him!" She thought to herself.

  She was still crying. He heard a small sob, even though he is mad at her. He still cares for her, that's still his best friend.

  "Nina Rose Anna Hale. Either open the door or I'm coming in." He called.

 He counted to ten and Nina Rose still did not open the door. He told her that he would open the door so that's what he did. He pushed the door and walked in slowly. He looked around the bathroom for the closed door to the stalls.

  "The last one." He thought.

   He gently knocked.

   "Please, come out. You know I hate seeing or hearing you cry." The voice he gave was soft.

   Nina Rose still did not open the door.

   "Nina Rose open the door or I'm breaking it down!" His voice was demanding .

    Nina Rose thought he was bluffing. About ten seconds went by, he took his foot and kick the door in.

  She looked shocked.

   "Colby Kai Hunter, how can you brake down the freaking door!?"

  "You were crying. I couldn't let you sit alone and cry. No matter how mad I am at you. I won't let you cry." Colby gave a gentle look at Nina Rose.

   "I didn't want to leave you. They pulled us apart. I love you Colby! I am so stupid for loving you, but I am in love with you Colby Kai Hunter. And there is nothing you can do-." Nina Rose didn't get to finish. 

  Colby ran to her and kissed her. The kiss was so passionate, Nina Rose fluttered her eyes closed. The kiss they shared brought them closer. After ten seconds she pulled back for air.

   "I love you too. Always remember that. No matter what I love you."

   "No matter what?"

   "No matter what."
