"no i think you have it wrong" i giggle at jane who had a shirt on backwards. she turned to the mirror and her eyes went wide "yea..i do have it on wrong" she giggled and turned back to me.

"help?" she giggled.

after we left the store we went walking around the place. "so tell me about yourself" i said sipping on my drink. "what do you want to know?" she asked.

"why do they call you eleven or el?" i asked glancing over at her quickly.

she stopped walking and so did i. she sighed and lifted her sleeve up revealing '011' on her arm. "i come from an abusive father, he tattooed the number eleven when i was young because he would keep track of us like that" she shrugged.

"you have siblings?" she pulled her sleeve down and nodded. "cool" i smiled and began to walk again. "do you have siblings?" she asked back.

"i have an older brother, his name is tyler. biggest asshole i tell you" i roll my eyes. she laughs "he can't be that bad" she smiled.

"he can, on my first day of middle school he put blue food coloring in my toothpaste so when i went to brush my teeth my teeth were all blue" i roll my eyes. i could tell she tried to hold back her laughter.

i looked at her with no emotion, "im sorry-" she choked on her laugher "but that's funny" she laughed.

i groaned and smack her arm.

"richie really did that for you?" i asked her as we walked into our local library. "yea, he was super cute about it also, he gave me a promise ring and told me it was forever. it had our date on the inside of it and after that he-" she stopped talking.

"oh i'm sorry i forgot you two were dating" she frowned. "what no! we aren't a thing like at all" i fake smile. "wait really? you guys aren't dating?" she seemed surprised.

"nope i'm single" i raise my brows and we walk to the comic isle. "wow, i would of never even thought that" she giggled softly.

"lovely seeing you two here" we turned around and richie was on the other side of the book shelf. i rose my brow "what are you doing here?" i cross my arms with a small smile.

"it's his favorite place duh" jane crosses her arms. i look at her and laugh. richie puts the books back and walks around the book shelf so we are all in the isle.

"thank you jane" he smiled towards her, she laughed and shook her head. "i should really ask you why you are here?" richie pursed his lips.

"we needed to pick up something for jane" i said. "what do you need?" he turned to her. "just a book for my mother" she smiled softly.

"oh how is she doing by the way?" he asked her. "she's getting way better, she can finally speak full sentences now" she nodded. "the books help about with that" she grabbed her backpack strand.

"that's really good. remember when i went to your house and she asked if you got married already?" he laughed a bit. i felt kinda uncomfortable in this moment.

"oh yea, she was going to freak" she giggled and nodded. "you should come by one day i bet she'll love seeing you again" she once again smiled.

"yea sure, i missed her anyway" he gave her a smile that made me uncomfortable even more. "well i'm going to wait outside then" i smile quickly. they turn to me "oh you don't have to i'll be quick" she said letting go of her backpack strand.

she smiled towards richie and walked past him into another isle. richie turned back to me with a smirk. "answer me something" he crossed his arms walking towards me.

"what's the question?" i looked up at him.

he got really close and let his arms drop "you aren't jealous right?" he asked me. his arms wrapped around my waist slowly.

"please i could never, what's to be jealous we are just friends" i take his hands off my waist and press my lips into a straight line.

"not even the slightest bit?" he lowered his brows. "nope, it's not much competition" i smirk. he smiled and gets close to me. "i knew you were jealous" he laughed.

"ew stop" i roll my eyes. "i can't kiss you in public right?" he asked. "sorry buddy" i kiss his nose quickly.

"fine but you owe me. tonight my house alright?" he pulled away from me. "if i feel like it maybe" i shrug.

"i'm back" we both stepped away from eachother. "hey, you left me with this one" i laugh nervously. "yea....okay i'm just going to meet you outside" she passes a quick smile and walks away quickly.

"you suck at lying" richie looked at me in disgust. i roll my eyes and flick him off.

"i'd still fuck you" he shrugged. i laughed and roll my eyes "so it's a yes for tonight? he smiled like a little kid.

"i didn't confirm anything" he frowns. "but just know it's mostly a yes" i smile and get on my tippy toes placing a kiss on his cheek.

i wrapped my legs around his waist as he closed the door with his foot. he already knew i was coming, he's so dumb that's it's kinda hot.

he brought me to his room and slammed the door bringing me to his bed. i let my legs loose from his waist as he laid me down on his bed.

he got between my legs and took his shirt off leaning back down to connect his lips to my neck. i held his head down and leaned my head back.

but for some reason i couldn't get what jane said out of my head.

'wow i would of never even thought that' i bit my lip thinking about it and pushed richie off me. "i'm sorry did i bite to hard again?" he asked me quickly. i pushed myself up and crossed my arms shaking my head no. "then what happened?" he asked me.

i looked down but back at him. his facial expression actually seemed concerned about me it was kinda cute. "richie..do you like anyone?" i ask him.

"well...do you like anyone?" he asked me back and falls back and sits criss cross on the bed. "i asked you first" i felt like i was in first grade again. "i do like someone" i had a really bad feeling that he likes jane.

"i like someone too, i think" i bit my bottom lip. "can i know who?" he asked me. i looked up at him and shook my head no "why?" he rose his brow.

"because i-i just don't think you need to know" i shrug. "it's bill right?" he said right after. "what! no ew" i said loudly.

"who do you like?" i asked him.

he stayed silent for a bit, he pulled him self closer to me. he ended up next to me, i put my head on his chest. "oh baby you stupid" he said.

i lifted my head from his chest and lowered my brows "what?"

"hayley, i like you, fuck i fucking love you" he laughed. i felt my cheeks heat up very quickly. i got sudden butterflies in my stomach. i smiled to myself and laid my head back on his chest.

"you know what richie?" i said. he hummed a yes "that's the nicest thing you've ever said" i roll over and look at him. "oh come on...i've said way nicer things" he pursed his lips.

"who do you like?" he asked me.

"eh, someone named...." i lead on the D. "i get it you like dick but i asked who you like" he laughed. i smacked his chest and rolled my eyes.

"you'll find out sooner or later" i shrug.
