Trying, Failing, and Fighting (YumiKuri/YmirxChrista)

Chapter 6

I knew Christa was upset. I knew I had hurt her. Why didn't I tell her? I was really kicking myself for it. I had a hard time figuring it all out. Where could she have gone? I knocked on her door. No answer. "Christa! Please open up if your in there! I need to talk to you!" No reply still.

I went inside my house and slung my back pack on the floor. I needed to find her, but I had no where to look. My phone was buzzing. It was Christa's ring tone. I nearly lept out of my skin. "C-Christa?!" I hesitated. No reply. "Christa, I-I know your mad, but I need to talk, so we can work things out." "Ymir," She whispered. I paused. "Where are you?" "Ymir, I don't want to see you." My heart skipped a beat. I felt it sink into my stomach. "C-Chri-" "Ymir, you don't know how much this hurt me. You should've been honest." I could hear her crying softly. "Christa," I hesitated. "I didn't tell you right away because, after I was put in the hospital, you didn't seem like you could take anymore 'hurt' at the moment."

"I-I'm sorry I freaked out on you." she sighed heavily. "I'm going to meet you at your house... If that's okay?" "Ye-," She hung up.

I had a soft knock on my door. She stepped inside swiftly. "Y-Ymir." She looked at me with a serious look on her face. I wanted to kiss her. I knew I couldn't. That would definitely jeopardize our friendship. My palms were sweaty. She hugged me tightly. She looked up at me. I could feel her minty breath. I put my hand on her face softly, cupping it. Her expression softened. I was scared. I didn't know what to say or do.

Kiss her.

My head chanted. I stepped back a bit. Christa looked confused. We stood there in silence. She sighed and sat on my bed. I heard my doorbell go off four times. I only knew one person who did that.

I swallowed hard. My hands were sweating as I approached the door, swallowing hard. Christa followed me to the door. Who knows? Maybe someone did that on accident? I narrowed my eyes.

I opened the door slowly.

"Long time no see huh?"

It was my ex girlfriend. Lena Adkins.

Sorry this is later than usual. I appreciate the support! Thank you for 200+ reads! I had an exhausting vacation in Ocean City MD US. I'm going on another vacation for another week with my best friend that I dedicated this to. I just want to let her know that she means the world to me and I don't know what i'd do without her. (I'll have the next chapter before I leave!) Sorry for the SUPER short chapter!

Have a good fathers day! -Kat (Fatal Habits)
