Chapter 17
"Sach?" I heard while someone poked me on the cheek. Hard. "Sacha, Sachaaa.." I grab the hand quickly. "Dana frickin Vaughns. Do you really want this to be the last day you are a boy?" I say to him, as he pulls his hands from my face. "Thank you."
He groans. "I'm so bored." I laugh a little. "Go eat." "No, you entertain me."
"So?" I say to him. "So, entertain me." I laugh at him. Suddenly I get up. I head to my closet and reach in to find my guitar, hesitating on whether I want to show him what I do. I brush off the skeptical conscience and pull it out.
"Okay don't laugh..." I begin as I strum my guitar to make sure it's in tune. Once it's fixed, I hum to find my key. Then I take a deep breath and sing.
(For the sake of the story let's pretend I wrote some lyrics.)
I had my eyes closed so I wouldn't see Dana, in fear that I would mess up. I opened my eyes as I heard clapping tearing through the silence of the room.
"Sacha that was amazing! Honestly! Why haven't you sang before?" I shook my head, putting my guitar down. "Singing was always your thing, plus I never really discovered my voice. I just started writing my feelings one day, put them to music, then boom."
He raised his eyebrows. "Then boom? Wow. Just wow." I looked down as a blush hit my cheeks. I crawl back into bed next to him and pull the blanket to cover my face.
"Sacha, honestly, don't be shy. Your voice is amazing." There goes that blush again. I nod. "Can we just sit here and be together? I like being in your arms." He nods and pulls me close as I snuggle into the crook of his neck.
We stayed like that for a while, maybe an hour. I started to go to sleep when I realized what was happening.
"I just remembered," I told Dana as I slid out of his grip. "Chalyiaa wanted me to come over. You don't mind right?" He shakes his head. "I'll just sleep." I laugh at him as I head to the bathroom to get ready.

At Chalyiaa's house, I paced in her bedroom.
"Okay Sacha? Sit down. You're making me nervous." I complied as I ran my hands up my legs. "Don't do that either." She said. "Okay, so recap for me?" I sighed. "So, Dana woke me up and said he was bored, that I should entertain him-" she gasped. "Did you two.....do the nasty?" She said, covering her mouth.
"No! He just said entertain him so I went to my closet and I pulled out-" "Oh my God, you did frick frack didn't you!" I threw my hands up in exasperation. "Will you let me finish?" She shrunk. "Sorry."
"So I went to my closet and pulled out my guitar and I played him something. Then he said I sang good, and I got embarrassed and all the while I kept stinkin' blushing, and then we kind of cuddled."
She gasped again. "I almost fell asleep with him, and then I realized that I was laying in bed in the arms of my best friend, and I was liking it...." She shrugged.
"So, what's up with that?" She asked, sitting back on her hands, as I got up to pace again. "What's up with that is that he's my best friend! I can't have feelings for my best friend!" She giggled.
"Don't act like its a bad thing to fall in looove, with him." I whipped around and stared at her questioningly. "You did not just try to make me feel better by singing a Justin Timberlake song." "Sorry it sort of fit the situation..uh kinda. Anyways, why is it so bad if you're falling for him?" I sigh and sit down again.
"Because we've been best friends since we were little kids. I already lost him once and I don't want to do it again over some stupid crush." She smirks at me. "Oh so you do admit that you have a crush on him. Hm, hm?" She said. I smiled a little.
"No I didn't mean it like that I just..... Ugh!" She laughed and hugged me. "Not trying to serenade you, but what's the worst that could happen? I mean, everyone wants to be in love with their best friend. Lucky for you, yours already is." I shake my head, as she stared at me like I was stupid. "Sacha, that boy loves you. Whether you see it or not."
A/N: hope you guys liked the chapter. I'm gonna go cry because I have a really bad stomachache and I feel so sick.
Lately I've been thinkin',
Thinkin' bout what we had,
I know it was hard,
It was all that we knew
Have you been drinkin'
To take all the pain away?
I wish that I could give you what you deserve...
