Friends?

7

Lilly's POV

I messed up.

I should have thought this through.

I shouldn't have propped myself up.

But the one thing that I just shouldn't have done was kiss Dom.

I messed our friendship up, and now I'm afraid to open my eyes.

"I'm sorry," Dom whispers.

"No, it was my fault," I say.

I felt an electricity between us that was pulling us closer together when we kissed.

The electricity was real, but it shouldn't have been so. Since The day in 10th grade, I had always told myself not to fall in love. Sure I had crushes here and there, but I knew I would not fall in love. But... but now I messed up.

"I'm really sorry," Dom said as he opened his eyes and I opened mine, and both of us turned different ways to leave.

I got back home and tried to pretend to be my happy self. Usually, it was hard to trick Anoshinie when I was sad, but this time she didn't suspect I was sad.

Maybe it's because there is a part of you that IS happy.

When my lips connected with Dom's, I felt an electricity running through my veins and reaching every part of my body. It was unlike anything I had felt before but I couldn't fall in love, I just COULDN'T.

Dom's POV

I shouldn't have kissed Lilly.

We were best friends, it was after so long that I had found someone I related to so much, and... and I just ruined it.

I go to bed and try to sleep but barely get any sleep, and before I know it, it is time to leave for college.

I stay back home instead of going to college to avoid having to meet Lilly. Right after what happened last night, I couldn't face her, I just COULDN'T.

Instead, I decide to go to the park nearby to get some fresh air.

Lilly's POV

I decided to not go to college since I couldn't collect myself to talk to Dom after what happened last night. Instead, I head to the park.

The park is huge and there are small hills that you can climb. The hills are mostly covered in dense, green trees and all you hear is the soothing chirping of birds. The mini forest smells like it has just rained, which is a smell I love. Spending time here should give me a better idea of how I could go back to being friends with Dom.

I slowly climb up the hill and go sit up on the edge of the cliff with my legs dangling off. Well, let me rephrase this. It isn't the kind of cliff you see people sitting on in fancy photographs. This "cliff" is just the edge of the hill. And because it is so short, falling off is the equivalent of making a short jump.

Dom's POV

When I reached the top of the hill I saw a person already sitting on the rock. It took me two seconds to realize it's Lilly. Not wanting to disturb her, I started to head back down but then she turned around and saw me.

"Oh, hey Dom. I thought you were in college" she said.

"No, I need a break for a while" I replied.

I went and sat down next to Lilly. We both stayed silent for a few minutes and the chirping birds filled the silence in between us. I was lost looking at the beautiful and tall, green trees when Lilly said "Dom," she paused "I really hope we can be friends, I shouldn't have kissed you last night".
