RollerCoaster Ride.

Chapter 5

I didn't know what to do.

I've never held a guys' hand.

Let alone my best friends.

"Babe, you okay?"

"F-F-Fine...."

"You don't sound fine," he stopped the car, "talk."

"I just.... I didn't think that you liked me and here you are ...

holding my hand, calling me nicknames .... you... is this just for pity?"

"Carlee.... NO. I honestly like you a lot. I just didn't know how to tell you!"

"Yeah... Okay Jaxon. Can we just get to school please?"

He removed his hand from mine, and was silent for the rest of the drive.

Shit....

Great job Carlee.

He stopped the car again.

"Ja----"

I was interrupted with his lips connecting with mine.

We moved in sync, his lips tasted like his chapstick that he INSISTED on using.

He pulled away and said, "I just don't want anything to go wrong with our friendship if this goes the wrong way...."

"So you kiss me and THEN tell me this?!"

"I-I should've thought this through Carlee."

"DAMN RIGHT you should've!" I yelled while getting out of the car.

It's not that I'm hurt .... It's that....

Well, I'm hurt.

And I know what you think, getting out of the car, forcing myself to walk the rest of the way in the rain, little dramatic.

But I can't stay in the car for much longer with him.

JAXON'S POV

.........................

"Dammit Jaxon!"I threw my hands against my steering wheel and mentally kicked myself for letting her get out.

"Carlee!" I threw open my door and ran after her.

"Come back please.... Carlee!" I yelled

She didn't respond, just kept walking.

"Please.... Carlee, just let me talk for two minutes..."

She turned around. C'mon Jaxon. You can do it.

"Please ... Come closer ..." I trembled.

"Two damn minutes, you ass."

Uh-oh.

"Carlee Hemmway, I have had the biggest crush on you since we were 5 and you came over to my house in your My Little Pony pajamas and we played video games until 9 at night and our parents had to force me to let go of your hand. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever layed my eyes on and I can't get enough of your beautiful baby blue eyes. I need a map because I get lost when I look in them. You are the perect girl for me. Short," she scoffed at me,"beautiful, funny, caring. You're the only girl I want and NEED. Be mine?" I gulped, hoping she'd say yes.

"Jaxon... Yes. Took you long enough!" She ran and wrapped her arms around me, and I swung her around... It was one of those movie moments that she ranted about how much she wanted when we were 14.

"Skip school with me?" I asked as I held her hands.

"But.... Where would we go?"

"My house.... Video games, and junk food till we burst?"

She laughed. God her laugh is adorable....

"Sure Jaxon. But can we stop by my place to get me some sweatpants please?"

"Or you can wear mine. I have at least 20 pairs," I overexaggerated.

She laughed once again, this time a little harder.

She nodded as we climbed back into my truck and she sat in the middle seat so she could lean against me.
