Breaking Free (Smut)

Chapter 6

After Cole and I had pulled away from our embrace, we had continued to look through our old pictures. The oldest picture of us was when I was 3 and Cole was 4. We were laughing with each  other, probably something stupid since we were babies. The next one pictured us on my old swing set, we were holding hand as we were being pushed by each of our mothers. Others were just like this, we would hold hold hands and be laughing. It was like we were inseparable, yet there was one picture that stood out to me. It was Cole and I sitting in sand in front of the ocean, I was looking out at the ocean Cole on the other hand, was kissing me on the cheek. 

"Awe, Cole look at this one!" I said in awe. Cole smiled at me as he took the photograph from my hand and examined it carefully. 

"I wish I didn't have to move back then. Maybe if I didn't move we would have stayed friends. At least we would have known each other, instead of being complete strangers."  He told me, I could tell he was imagining what life would have been like if we stayed friends. 

"Yeah, me too. But as crazy as this may sound, as soon as I saw you I knew you were familiar. I had this gut feeling, when Kendall told me to look at you on your first day at Brent wood  I got this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I knew you, or that I have seen you before." I told him, he looked at me with a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Wait, you had that feeling to?" Cole asked me, I saw the shock that was placed in hie eyes once before turn into some type of reassurance.

"Yes, and next things you know fate pushes us together and we find each other again." I say happily. It's the first time in the past couple of days that I am truly, genuinely happy. I just wish I could thank my mother helping me find out who Cole was. For the first time in my life, I can look back into my past and remember something good happening. A cheerful, happy memory, in which a regular, normal person's past are filled with. 

"I'm just so happy to be here with you, Lily. I don't ever want to lose you." Cole said sweetly, I could feel myself blushing and my smile had grown larger. I gave him hug from  where we were sitting on the floor and checked the time. It read 12:10 p.m. Friday, September 6, 2017. Cole and I had decided that we should head back to my house, he practically begged me to let him drive my Tesla, so I let him. As we pulled away from my mom's old house I stared at it from the car window. I was unsure when I would see the house again so I looked at it trying to replace all of the bad memories from my past with the good ones from my past with Cole and from today, it worked. Of course I am still aware of what had occurred at the house when I was younger, but now when I look at the house it reads a better, happier aura. I turned my attention to my phone where I was checking Snapchat, that's when I saw I had a text from Kendall.

-Text Conversation with Kendall-

Kendall: Hey Lily.

Me: Hey, are you okay?

Kendall: What do you mean?

Me: You have been distancing yourself from me ever since I left to go into the hospital with Cole. You didn't even text me after school to see what happened, or if I was okay. So, I know something is wrong, so what is it?

Kendall: Yes, Lily, I have been distancing myself from you, but I texted Cole to see what happened.

Me: But you didn't text me, Kendall. So why have you been distancing yourself from me, I miss you like crazy.

Kendall: Because, Lily, I have to be supportive, or I have to learn to be. Even though it hurts. So until I learn how to be supportive when it hurts me I will be distant. I will not hang out, talk, text, or look at you until I can, I don't trust myself enough yet. I'm sorry.

Me: But what do you need to be supportive of? 

Kendall: You and Cole! He's obviously in love with you and even though you put up a lot of walls when it comes to people, he's starting to break them. You are starting to fall in love with him too, Lily. It's obvious. But I like Cole and I don't want to get in the way of the relationship. If I let myself hang around you and Cole, I am almost one hundred percent sure I would try to get in the way of the relationship. I'm sorry, I love you. But I don't know if I will even get over him at all. I've never felt this way before, so this might be the last time I talk to you. I'm sorry, and just remember. I love you.

-End of Phone Conversation with Kendall-

 I was in complete shock of what just happened, I might have lost my best friend due to Cole. I felt like I should feel anger towards Cole for putting me and Kendall in this situation, but yet, when I looked over at him I could feel the love that was displayed in my eyes. Which is when I came to realize, Cole really is breaking down all of my walls, one-by-one and slowly, but he is breaking down every last one of them.
