Just friends (Sammy Wilk)

III

-Anastasia_ Sam's smile faded away and I stopped laughing
-Haven't heard from you in a while_ I poked his back so he would put me down which he didn't
-Didn't feel like talking to you then_ he shrugged and I just wanted to turn invisible_ and now, so, if you don't mind, I'm leaving_ he said pausing and I widened my eyes when he slowly walked out
-She's gonna hate me_ I whined resting my forehead on his shoulder
-Oh come on_ he finally put me down and turned to look at me
-And now you decide to put me down_ I slapped his arm and we got back with the guys
-So, your best friend is here_ Aaron said and I nodded
-That must've been weird_ G said drying his hair with a towel
-We might compete to find out who was more uncomfortable_ I said putting my sandals back on
-You'd win by far_ Sam said and gave me a wink
-She probably thinks we've got something Samuel_ I said mad at him and the guys started to laugh
-And who cares?_ he said
-Don't you guys like her?_ I tried to get some help
-Look T, we just stand with our bros_ Johnson explained
-So if I dated one of you guys and then broke up, you'd stay with him?_ I was clearly indignant
-That's different_ Aaron said and we reached everyone's cars
-You guys are unbelievable_ I just got into Johnson's car and heard them talking outside
-She's mad_ G said sadly
-It sucks when T is mad_ Aaron said and then the guys said goodbye and made sure we were going to meet up at the Jacks
(...)
  Once we reached their place, the guys didn't even try to talk to me, I just went home to take a shower and get changed.
  I put on a light denim pants and a military green t-shirt along with a light pink pair of shoes. I blow dried my hair and put on mascara before grabbing my cellphone again and heading back to the Jacks.
-Sorry about earlier_ I heard Aaron's voice once I stepped out of my room
-I just can't believe you'd do something like that!_ we started to head out
-You know I'd never leave you babygirl_ he hugged me from behind when I opened the front door
-But what you guys said was so sexist!_ I turned to face him and regret was stamped on his eyes
-I'm sorry_ he lowered his head and I kissed his cheek
-Come on_ I pulled him outside our house and locked the door_ race?_ I asked before starting to run
-Cheater!_ Aaron screamed coming after me while we ran up 2 houses in our street
-You should know that by now_ I jumped on his lap and we got in with him holding me
-Thank God, she's in a good mood_ G said as I laughed
-You're still jerks_ I jumped off of Aaron sitting next to Gilinsky
  There was Swazz and Johnson playing videogames, Gilinsky watching them, Aaron went into the kitchen, Sam was probably with his brother since he called and I deduced Taylor and Dillon weren't here and if God wanted to be good to me they weren't going to show up.
  When Aaron came back with two water bottles, handing one to me, the guys stopped the game and opened Netflix.
  We voted to decide the movie's genre, and as usual, horror won. We picked one and then before playing it, the discussion of what to eat started.
-Since it's 5pm, I think we should eat some popcorn and then order some pizzas_ I suggested while they were looking through every delivery number we had
-But I'm starving_ Johnson whined and G rolled his eyes
-I'll make the popcorn you crying baby_ Swazz stood up and headed towards the kitchen
-Can someone just please go help him before he burns our house down?_ Gilinsky begged and they all looked at me
-No! No, no, no! I'm not going_ that's the last thing I said
-Not me_ Johnson said being followed by Aaron and G
-You guys suck_ I then got up and ran into the kitchen when I heard the corn falling into the pan
-Thank God you came to help_ John was terrified with a glove and covering himself with the pot lid
-Just leave the goddamn lid over the pan, dumbass_ I took the object off of his hands and put on the stove_ grab the butter_ I asked while the corn was popping
-There you go_ he handed it to me and continued to watch my every move_ I missed you T_ he whispered behind me leaning on the island
-I missed you too J_ I smiled at him rapidly right before taking the pan off the stove
-But I mean it_ he came in closer while I poured the popcorn into two big bowls
-Well, hey guys_ Sammy's voice saved me from that awkward situation
-Samuel_ I smiled at him when he came in closer to give me a hug and greet Swazz
-Samantha_ he made fun of me and who I figured was his brother came in_ that's my brother Ben, Ben that's the girl who answered my phone_ I smiled at him stepping away from Sam's hug
-It's nice to meet you Ben_ I grabbed the bowls
-Sorry for yelling at you earlier_ he said casually as we made our way back to the living room
-Don't mention it_ I turned around to respond to him and handed one of the bowls to Johnson and the other one to Aaron
-Sorry to be a party boomer but I better get going_ Swazz said putting his phone inside his pocket
-You live here, you don't have anywhere else to go_ Gilinsky said with his mouth full being punched by Johnson
-I've got some things to deal with_ he waved goodbye and opened the front door
-Hey Swift_ I ran after him in the pathway and he stopped to turn around_ are we cool?_ I asked worried biting the inside of my cheek
-We're cool, James_ he smiled and continued his way to his car
-What was that all about?_ Aaron asked looking at me when I closed the door
-What?_ I pretended to not know what he was talking about
-You and Swazz_ Johnson said with his mouth full and this time G punched him
-Are you guys a thing again?_ G asked and suddenly they were all staring at me
-We were never a thing G_ I laid between him and Sam
-Yeah you were_ Aaron continued with that
-Fuck Aaron, we weren't a thing!_ I hated to talk about it and the Jacks widened their eyes at the way I spoke to Aaron_ I'm sorry baby_ I reached for his shoulder since he was sitting on the floor_ it's not my fault his crush on me never went away_ I crossed my arms and leaned on the couch
-So you guys were a thing..._ Sam was still not understanding a single shit
-For fucks sake, me and Swazz were never, we are not and never will be a fucking thing, got it?_ I started to yell at them when John came in the door soon to be exiting again_ I'm not going to deal with this_ I pointed my hand at the door and Gilinsky got up
-That's why we don't stay friends with the exes_ Johnson said shaking his head and so G went after John
-What just happened?_ Ben asked completely shocked
-John is into T for as long as we can tell_ Johnson explained
-Don't you think that's my fault!_ I told the Wilkinsons
-I haven't said a word_ Sammy said focused on the movie
-Sucks to be me_ I laid my head on Sammy's shoulder
-I think that's your ass' fault_ Aaron tried to make a joke
-Let's not talk about it_ Sammy said and everyone except for Ben started to laugh
(...)
-The pizza's here_ Johnson screamed from the front porch
-They're on me_ Ben ran and paid the delivery guy
-Is Gilinsky never coming back?_ I asked the guys
-He's probably talking Swazz out of you_ Sam put his arm around me and I sighed
-That's not fair at all_ I whined and he tightened his grip
-Don't let this get to ya babygirl_ Aaron tickled my leg
-Let's eat!_ Johnson and Ben came back in with two pizzas
-Who the fuck ordered pineapple and bacon?_ Sammy asked loudly opening one of the boxes
-That's mine shithead_ I punched him lightly and he made a face expressing disgust
-I'm never going to kiss now_ he said and grabbing a pepperoni slice
-Not that you were going to before that_ Johnson said jokingly and we all laughed
-The pizza's here!_ Gilinksy screamed opening the front door by himself_ where's my pineapple?_ and so a handed him a slice and he sat next to me
-Cheers!_ we touched slice and then ate
-Is Swazz coming back?_ Aaron asked and Gilinsky just shook his head
-Are you gonna talk to him?_ it was Johnson turn
-I didn't do anything!_ I played the victim
-That was pretty harsh what you said, T_ Ben said before taking a sip of his Dr. Pepper
-I'd be crying my eyes off if the girl I liked said stuff like that_ Aaron said and I rolled my eyes
-I'm leaving, I'm not gonna stay here listening to you sexists talking about me as if I'm not here_ I got up_ thank God I never dated any of you
  And so I slammed the door behind me and went down to my house again, after a few seconds looking for the keys in my pockets, I managed to open the door and get in.
  Me and Aaron might have some competition that I'm not aware of because I did laundry two days ago and there's plenty of clothes to wash, and so I did it and put it to dry too because I'm not in the mood.
  I organized the living room and put away the blanket Sam used last night. Went up to Aaron's room and made his bed and so I went down and did the same with mine.
  I needed to practice some songs and share it on my social media. I recorded "Fall" by a band called The Vamps and once I was going to upload it, I tagged them in every social media.
  It was almost 9pm when I got off the second shower of the day, I put in the same nightdress as last night and took off my makeup once and for all.
-T?_ I heard Sam knocking on the front door and rolled my eyes
-What?_ I unlocked and opened it seeing him with a red rose bouquet on his hands
-I came to apologize_ he stepped in and even confused I closed the door
-For what exactly?_ I asked as he handed me the flowers
-For being a jerk_ he shrugged and followed me into the kitchen
-That was sweet of you_ I looked through the cabinets_ can you get that for me?_ I pointed a vase up high
-Sure_ he came from behind not letting me move_ there you go_ he gave it to me leaning his mouth against the back of my neck
-You're close_ I turned my head a little bit to look him in the eyes
-Yes I am_ he didn't move
-Samantha, where are you?_ I heard the Jacks and Aaron screaming what scared me and made me drop the vase
-Nice guys_ Sammy said stepping back as they approached
-Sorry T_ they spoke in unison
-Wait, come here_ Sammy opened his arms so I could jump in them_ you don't have shoes on dumbass, you're gonna get hurt_ he didn't give up and so I did what he wanted me to do
-You guys are adorable_ Johnson said when Sam put me carefully on the island
-I'm adorable_ I snatched back and G laughed
-We wanted to apologize for being assholes to you_ Aaron said as I slid to where they were and Sam did the same thing sitting next to me
-It's whatever
