Proving Our Love

Chapter 5- You dont know me

I immediately stopped talking, giving my attention to Emily. I looked into her eyes, to make sure she wasn't lying. And by what I could see, she was being everything but untruthful. I looked at Dave to see if he would give me any kind of explanation with an expression, but all he did was look down at the bed, scratching the back of his head. I closed my eyes, trying to take what Emily had just blurted out in.

"You what?", I said, making sure I heard her correctly. She sighed, getting ready to get the words out.

"Jordan and I kissed." I let out a breath, while I sat there looking at her, seeing if she would tell me this was all a lie and she was just fibbing, but I know she wasn't. I rubbed my forehead, still trying to get what she said around my head.

" When?", I said shaking my head." Wait , how? How did this even happen?"

" It happened about two weeks after you broke up with him." I was walking down the street, heading over to your house and he was skateboarding on the sidewalk. He saw me and stopped, then we just started talking. And before I knew it, he was kissing me. I pulled back, telling him it was wrong, and he apologized, saying that he just missed you and he was trying to distract himself from what he was going through . And I didn't tell you because"- her voice trailed off, almost starting to break as she began to cry. I looked down, feeling bad that she had so much trouble confessing to me.

" It's okay Em, Issy's listening", Dave said reassuringly to her as I nodded in her direction, waiting for her to continue with her explanation. She wiped her eyes.

" I didn't tell you because I was so afraid you would never trust me or talk to me again, I was so scared that I would loose you as a friend. And Jordan regretted doing it too, I know it. He still has feelings for you. Plus if it makes you feel better, the kiss wasn't even good." I laughed as Emily said that last part of her sentence. I hugged her, and she quickly hugged back, tightly,

"Issy I'm so sorry, it was a mistake please don't hate me." I rubbed her back, while pulling back from our embrace.

" I could never hate you, it's alright he kissed you. He's the one who put you in that situation and you were just trying to protect me , it's not your fault. And it was after we broke up, so technically you didn't do anything wrong Em. I don't want you to feel like you have to hide stuff from me just because your worried of how I would react. The point is, I know you didn't mean for it to happen, and you told me, so that's all that matters." She looked at me, smiling as she wiped the few tears that fell from her cheeks.

"So your not upset with me?", she asked with a surprised tone. I shook my head.

" No, we broke up for a good reason and you both know why." Dave shook his head,

"Issy, don't you don't have to talk about it-

" I wasn't going to", I said interrupting him.

" But he hurt you so bad and I felt terrible that I was a part of this", Em said with sadness full in her voice.

" Stop worrying about it okay?, I completely understand and I don't want you to blame yourself." She nodded while smiling,

" I'm so lucky to have a friend like you, I don't know what I'm gonna do without you", Emily said. I smiled,

" I don't know what I'm gonna do either."

" I don't mean to make this situation worse, but uh Em i don't know if you remember but after we kissed, you said I'm good but Jordan was better. I looked at her with a confused face, as she looked down.

" I only said that he was better because, she paused, - her cheeks suddenly becoming red.

" Because I didn't want you to know that I liked our kiss." I covered my mouth in surprise as she spilled. We both looked at Dave as he smirked, looking at Emily.
