Bromance

Satisfaction

"Soooo?" My mom asked eagerly as soon as I walked into the room.

"Whaaaat?" I groaned in frustration.

"How was it?" She grinned.

"It was fine" I mumbled and made my way to my room, my mom not getting the message I want to be along, followed me.

"And how was Alistair?"

"He was fine" I said walking into the room and closing the door on her.

"Kyler. Why don't you like him?" her voice muffled through the bedroom door," He just seems so nice and kind and so sweet and understanding" She cooed," He's the nicest acquaintance of yours that I've met since Rita" As she said that, I started to feel a little bit like a dick for my attitude towards him.

"I...don't know ma" I sighed," I'm just not used to him okay? He's not the type of guy I would usually hang out with" I began taking off my clothes and changing into my pyjamas.

"Okay" She sighed,"I'm sorry I keep pressurising you to spend time with him when you don't want to. He just needs a friend, and I know you can be a great one when necessary"  she said tiredly," Oh well. Sleep well my love" I heard her shoes clinking away from my door.

I waited until I heard her footsteps fade away laid my head on my pillow. She honestly thinks I'm going to be a great friend to Alistair? What makes her think that I, of all people, am going to be a good friend to him? If anything I've been a total dick to him and that kind of made me feel bad.

I felt a bit mushy inside when she said that I could be a great friend when I wanted to. I don't mind being friends with him, but I don't want to, yet I kind of already am.

I went to bed feeling all mushy and confused.

I hadn't spoken to Alistair the rest of the week. I kind of felt bad about it but soon shrugged it off whenever Sean or Rita wanted to spend the day with me. I snuck out to a colour festival with both of them and it looked really awesome. Locnvil were performing their latest hit single as people threw handfuls of coloured powder at each other, painting our white shirts with streaks of multiple colours.

The bass vibrated through the night sky, shaking the grass underneath us as everybody jumped up and down. Flashlights hovering over the crowd, girls in mini skirts and booty shorts swaying their hips deliciously and their model like boyfriends with their hands on their hips so people are aware they're taken, and the deafening screams of the crowd singing along the popular tune.

But it just didn't feel the same.

It didn't make me feel on top of world, didn't give me the satisfaction it used to. I didn't feel as excited whenever a hot girl walked past and flirted with them, in fact I didn't try socializing with anybody; just stood by the bar by myself and stared at the performers on stage. Locnvil had just finished their last song and a there was a new performance to follow shortly afterwards, but I didn't pay attention.

Rita and Sean would come back from the crowd every now and again to make sure I didn't piss myself drunk but I barely touched my drink. I Just stared blankly at the band performing until I started to feel pissed off and confused about why on earth I wasn't enjoying myself, it was supposed to be even better than usual because I snuck out but instead I felt out of place.

I sighed in defeat and just decided to go home. I called Sean to let him know I was leaving, he bid me goodbye with a concerned look on his face telling me I looked like I was out of zone.

When I got home I snuck into my bedroom immediately pulling off the dirtied clothes, I decided to wash them myself so my mom wouldn't get suspicious. I was too lazy to put anything on and just jumped into bed with my boxers on.

I went to bed that night feeling confused, unsatisfied and just really sad.

"Hello?" An anxious voice answered.

"Hey" I chocked out," Its Kyler"

"Oh" Alistair said sounding pleasantly surprised," Its been a while since we talked. I had a feeling you didn't want anything to do with me"

"I'm sorry that you felt that way. I was just...busy" I lied suddenly feeling nervous.

"Its alright"

"I just wanted to say thanks for inviting me over. I had a good time" I lied. I just needed a good excuse to hear his voice," So what are you up to?" I cleared my throat.

"would you like to come over?" He ignored my question.

"Uh, I guess. If you want me to" I coughed.

"You may come over whenever you feel like it" He suggested.

"Oh, cool. I-I guess I could come over now" I stuttered, suddenly feeling nervous.

"Okay. Let me know when you're there" His tone seemed a little happier.

"Sure" I said before hanging up on him and having a bit of a panic attack.

"Boy, what's wrong" My dad walked in concerned.

"Alistair asked me if I wanted to come over to his house and I accidently said yes"

"Accidently?" He frowned," That's a bit mean don't you think?"

"No, no its not" I argued.

"Why did you even call him in the first place? I thought you wanted to go" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Because-" I growled at him, "I don't know!" I shouted," Fine! I'll go to his house"

" I didn't say you had to Kyler. I was just askin-"

"And I'll tell him you said hi" I spoke over him before taking my jacket and walking out the door confused with how I was acting.

A/N: So sorry I took so long. My laptop has been in repairs for I dont know how long, so I've been living off other people's laptops and even going to internet cafes. Might take a while for another update, but until then please comment xx
