Chapter 21
The Kiss

Tears spilled once more. I couldn't handle this. The emotions were too much.

I needed him. Now.

I got on my bike and sped to his house. By now I had where he lived memorized.

The yells of Stan and Richie echoed behind me as I gained speed.

The silhouette of his house began to form, and my heart skipped a beat.

I threw my bike against the brick wall of his house and picked up pebbles.

I threw them as hard as I could. Nothing happened.

I quickly gave up and yelled.

"PSSST!!! HELLO!!! UP THERE!!"
I yelled in a hushed tone.

The window slid open to his supposed face.

"Why are you here?"

I shook my head.

"Open your door."

He nodded and sprinted down the steps to his door. He unlocked it soon after.

I took a deep breath and opened it.

His red cheeks were the first I noticed.

His eyes ran over me, almost inspecting me.

My emotion became too much.

"S-Sar-"
My lips smashed against his in an awkward kiss.

His eyes widened with surprise, but soon gave in.

My heart fluttered and butterflies sprang to life in my stomach.

I let go and smiled as I placed my forehead on his.

"I missed this."

We both spun around as the door opened once more.

Beverly.

It was easy to tell we had kissed, since my light pink lipstick was all over his lips.

She gasped.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"
She burst into tears and threw fists at me.

I had forgotten completely.

"Beverly, I hate to tell you this-"

"I DONT CARE ANYMORE! YOURE TRYING TO STEAL HIM-"

"IM IN LOVE WITH HIM GOD DAMNIT!"

There was silence.

"I'm in love with Bill."
