"Just Friends"

Oh shit

"Dana!" My mom calls from downstairs. I take out my earphones and and walk down the stairs to see my mom in the kitchen making chicken and macaroni and cheese. I literally love freaking cheese.

"Hey Danny, how the hell are you?" Well damn mom. Why you gotta be so... Harsh.

I laugh quietly and smile at my mom. "Hi mommy. I'm great how about you?" I can feel that she is about to ask me to go do something.

She looks around for the spoon that she was just using for the macaroni and finds it in my mouth. She sighs and laughs a little as she takes it out. "It's good?" She asks. I just nod and giggle.

"Now here's what I need you to do. I need you to take out the trash then go to Ms. Erma's house to give her some of the cheesecake I made. I just nod because I don't want to complain to my mom because it's just to much work. I nod and grab the trash and the cheesecake.

When I walk out the door I see my mom's "boyfriend". I do not like him at all because he is just abusive and a little bitch because he complains about everything.

"Hi Dana." He says. I walk past him not saying a word because you know...If you don't have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all. And frankly, I have nothing nice to say... bitch.

After taking out the trash, I go to Ms. Erma's house and knock on the door. When she opens it, she smiles widely at me then at the cheesecake. "Oh! Honey come in, come in! I'm sure that Nicholas would like to see you! He's upstairs. And tell your mother I said thank you." I smile and nod. If your wondering, Ms. Erma has a grandson who is the same age as me but older by 2 months. I will admit that Nick is handsome. He stands at 6'3 with beautiful black hair that is always messy but it fits him and oh my gosh. Those. Eyes. They are such a beautiful piercing blue. Me and him have been friends for a while now. How always kept to himself after his mom died and I was always there comforting him until one day he just stopped talking to me. Now I only see him at school or when he is taking out the trash.

I walk up the stairs and knock on the door lightly. "It's open." He says and I walk in. He was just in basketball shorts and that six pack was just, oh my.

"Hi.." I said shyly. He stands up fast and looks at me confused. "Hey Daniella it's been a while...Why are you here?"

"Wow you are literally the only one who calls me by my actual name." I laugh nervously. He motions me to sit and I sit down next to him on his bed.

"I know." He smiled, "I just don't like being the same as other people." That's what I always liked about Nick, he isn't like the others. He's different in his own way.

"It's been a long time since we talked...Why Is that?" I ask and he sighed. "I just felt as if you were getting tired of me and so I wanted to give you space."

I smile at him and look at the clock on his night stand, it read 9:38 pm. "Well I think I have had enough space. We should hang out more." He chuckled and nods.

"Alright Daniella."

"I should be going now." I say and get up from his bed. "Let me walk you out." He says as he opens the room door for me. I walk down the stairs with Nick following behind me and I wave to his grandma.

"Do you want to go to dinner with me on Friday?" He says. I smile and nod. He smiles and kisses my forehead. "Goodnight Daniella. Be safe."

"I will. Goodnight." I walk down the street and smile to myself because 1. Dinner is probably ready and 2. I am going out on Friday.

I walk into the house and into the kitchen to see my food still hot and in the microwave. I grab my plate and head up the stairs back to my room. I look at my phone and see that I had 15 texts and 22 missed calls. From Tyson.

Oh shit.
