FRIENDSHIP Is Forever

The promise

*Lola POV*

I sit by Elms side, full of worry. The boys all sit patiently and Deina is by my side rubbing my back comforting me. I've been crying waterfalls since he passed out. I flipped when I saw the blood, lucky me though, it was just a cut on his lip...well I might've overreacted. Okay yeah, laugh but if you saw your crush bleeding and passed out I bet you all my savings you'd do the same. Anyway, I'm holding his hand and I feel a wave of relief as he groans and opens his eyes.

"What the-"

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN YOU JERKTARD!!" I scream and I pull him into a hug and let my tears run freely.

"And here I thought you'd never give me those teddy bear hugs again" he chuckles as he hugs me, slowly stroking my hair.

" I'm sorry princess, I didn't mean to scare you"

I feel my heart skip a beat and my puzzle pieces fall into place, all my questions are answered.

"I know this is hard to take in-"

"What took you so fucking long Trevor" I say as I pull him into a kiss

"Best fucking day of my fucking life" he says between our kiss.

Smiling big I look into his eyes "I love you"

He looks at me and has a Cheshire cat grin plastered on his face " I waited 6 fucking years to hear that"

I found my happily ever after.

I snuggled closer to him before we were interrupted by Leslie clearing his throat.

"I don't mean to be a party pooper but ain't he supposed to be resting, besides we all gotta go write out our statements for-"

"Wait what?" Elms looked at me in disbelief

"I...er...um" I stammer as my eyes avoid him

"Maybe you should go, I promise I'll be here waiting for you" Elms says as he kisses my forehead

I hug him tight. "Dae, can you make sure my princess is okay?" I smile at the pet name.

"Yea sure thing, I'll cut anyone that tries anything funny" Deina says with a smile.

*Deina POV*

I walk with Lola down the hall to the detention room. The boys all follow, including Elms who has now gained back his brain cells (laughs).

"So what's up with you and Louis?" Lola whispers only enough for me to hear

"Gah, uh..I...um...we...I, wait what?" I stammer as I look at her wide eyes, feeling the heat in my face. Damn you genetics!

Lola reads me like an open book because she knows me better than anyone else, even my own parents.

"Come on Dae, don't look at me like that" Lola says as she pokes my side

"Ouch, hey! Okay, okay whatever..." I say rolling my eyes as I mock pain

"Okay what?" She says as she smiles wide

"Uh...that thing you said earlier..." I mumble

"Dae, if you feel that way why can't you just tell him?"

"Lolo we've been friends for years and it'll be a tint bit awkward, don't you think?"

"Sweetheart, it's only what it is if you make it look like that"

"I guess...maybe it's just the hormones" I shrug

"Uh huh...I've heard that before, in fact I invented that excuse" she says laughing

"How do I tell him?"

"I don't think it's the how, I think it's the when"

I look at her baffled. What did she mean by that?, obviously seeing my confusion she tries to explain

"You know the new girl in chemistry that he sits with?"

"Uh yea, sort of I guess"

"Well...as his best friend I have that obligation to always check his phone"

I grumble, yea it's true. She does have his trust and they're complete perfection when it comes to best friends. I admit I do get a tad bit jealous but now that she's with Elms it's all good. But she knows about how I feel so she never did anything funny around him, I trusted her with my life and she has not once ever broken my trust.

"So I saw this text-"

" You saw what?!" I screeched as she flinched at my sudden outburst

"Calm the hell down drama queen" she says as she puts a hand over my mouth.

"It was just a few messages about some stupid Sodium and chlorine reaction or something"

I look at her with the 'yea-I-totally-believe' you look.

She smiles as I calm down a little.

"Beba I don't know if you see it but he loves you and he always has"

I look at her, this time I'm gaping like a fish out of water. He loves me?
