Chloe, you are my best friend. Weren't you? You showed me some makeup tricks. For starters at least. Small light ones. Which was alright, I do need to learn it anyways. You said my tomboy side needed to let go a little.
No, Rikkun I thought that side of you was so cute. You were so outgoing and just you. That was you. I loved you even with no makeup. You were beautiful. You were always.
You wanted to change my attitude. My way of maybe expressing my anger.
"You get mad like in this silent way."
"OK and?"
"How mad do you really get?" You pushed.
"I don't really know.." I lied. I can get so mad easily. Depending of course.
"Alright, stupid." You marked.
"Huh?"
"Go on, get mad. Bring that little tiger out." You pokes my shoulder. You wanted to see me mad. So see who I was. "You snap at a boy, got your ass kicked, show me if that's true."
"I don't want to.."
"Then you're lying."
"I'm not!"
You pinched my skin, "Are too!"
Chloe you shouldn't have pushed it. Not like this.
"Well, Clay doesn't like you anyways. He's probably out at a strip club."
"He's not."
"Is too. I mean come on, he ain't text you in hours. Got a girl on him.."
"No!" I stand up.
"Yes!" You did the same, "He just couldn't wait, could he?"
I could..
"Can you just shut up?! You're wrong, he's not like that!"
"How would you know?"
"Because. I just do.."
"Liar, he played you stupid."
I grabbed your shirt, "He's ain't played me stupid because I know more than an average boy! You think I keep myself tide up in lady shit!? You think I have patience, too?! Don't you ever have his name on your lips! I'll stitch your mouth so tight you'd have to cut them open!"
"Oh, I'm so scared, pfft, he's family doesn't like you."
"So what? I'm not loving them!" I let go, "I don't care..I already warned him." Then why did I feel so jealous? Insecure? Lied? Angry? Used?..
"He still went."
The lamp broke. Chloe you got scared when that happened. I warned you, too. To not make me mad. "What the hell?!" You gasped. You look back to me, "Was that..you?"
I rolled my eyes not giving you an answer. I still won't. Never will.
"Well, you're still a lying bitch."
Slam! The door slammed shut loudly.
Chloe, the look on your face was priceless.
Was it Rikkun doing that? Does she have some type of gift?..
"Not cool, Rikkun!"
"What? It wasn't me!"
"Liar!!"
"It wasn't!!"
You walked at me with your finger pointed at me. Something I hate so badly. "You're a little fucking liar! This isn't funny! A sick prank!" I grabbed your finger and twisted it pulling your arm down. That happened to "normally". You shook my hand away holding your finger, "Ow!"
I didn't mean to. And I could've done alot worse.
Chloe, you sighed. You knew something. "Alright," you said, "No more. You protect. Warn. Then the attack. And if I go any further you'd end up killing me."
"Sorry?"
You hugged me, "My little latina!" You squealed, "oh I long for the day you do end up killing a boy haha!"
"K-kill?"
"Oh my god! I have a friend you HAVE to meet! She's the best! Come, we're going for a girl's night, baby!" You let go pulling my hand and self out the room downstairs. "B-baby? Wait what?!" I felt so embarrassed.

Hehe, wow, no wonder she blushed when I called her "baby."

I miss her. Her smile. Her voice. Her eyes. I miss everything about her.

Drove off to a new place. To meet someone named Abby, but everyone called her "Aubry", maybe it was a nickname or she just wanted that as her name. Kinda like JT. Anyways, we walked inside and was greeted with a shout of "What's up my favorite girl?"

Aubry looks to me and smiles, already knowing me. "Hello there, little one."
Those green eyes. Emerald green eyes. They looked like the real stone itself. Better than my brown dull eyes.

Green is alright, but I loved Rikkun's eyes. I didn't care if they were brown. I'd get so lost in them.

"Hi?" I greeted so shyly and maybe off. Loud thumps of footsteps ran down. You could feel it too.
Two older boys ran out of the living room. Aubry greeted them to me. They were cousins. Devon and Cody. Chloe asks for it to only be us three. So we head to Aubry's room.
