Her World

It was quite overwhelming to hear that you saved your best friend life when she was eleven and you weren't even a day old. How could she not tell me about this? I've been in her life since I was three. Why wouldn't she tell me that I saved her from getting killed? I didn't know anything about this. Of course she would have to be the one to tell me. She was the only one who knew about it since she was the one who lived through it. I doubt she told anyone about what happened.

But I was her best friend. It didn't make sense to me, at least she decided to tell me period though. She could have just kept it to herself and never told her. I don't know if could ever forgive her if she did that to me.

I'm in biology right now but I can't focus. All i can think about is this stupid situation with Whisper and Idris. I didn't even notice that the bell rung until I hear him.

"Echo? Hello?" Idris says dramatically when he notices he finally has my attention he smirks, "You okay?"

"Haha. I just zoned out. I'm fine." I lie, but he can read me like an open book.

"Hey, I know this really cool little diner we can go to if you need to clear your mind a little bit."

I smile, "Yeah, I think I'd like that."

He gasps, "Think? I am deeply offended."

I roll my eyes, " I know I would like that. There better?"

He smiles at me with straight, white teeth "I guess."

When we get to the diner  Idris gets out and rounds the car. He opens my door for me and as I get out of his car I thank him for actually having manners. I'm nervous as my shaky hands hold on to the door, ready to go into the small, retro, diner. Idris seems familiar with the place and people, which is weird since he hasn't been here long at all.

We sit down in a small booth in the back of the diner. A short, elderly lady comes up to the booth to take our order. I get a vanilla milkshake, while Idris gets a chocolate shake. We sit in silence for the next five minutes. When the lady brings our shakes, Idris breaks the silence.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

I look up at him, "Um, well I just can't stop thinking about what Whisper told us. I saved her life and I didn't even know her. It's just overwhelming, I guess."

"Yeah, I get it. I mean not the 'saving-someone-who-you-didn't-know-who-would-become-your-best-friend-years-later-when-you-were-a-baby' thing but I get the overwhelming part."

"Yeah, and I just can't focus on school as much."

"Well I'm here if you ever need me." He reaches across the table and takes my hand in his. For the first time though I don't really care about if someone sees us or if they think something is going on between me and the boy in front of me. For the first time I realize that nobody controls my life except for me and from this point on I don't care about what people think of me.

Me and Idris stayed at the diner until they closed. It was around eight-thirty when we pulled in front of my house. We both got out of the car and walked up to my door. I turned to him before I went inside.

" Thank you for doing

"It's really no big deal."

" To me it is. I don't really have friends here, so thank you."

He pulled me into his arms and then kissed the top of my head when i hugged him back.

"Your welcome."

And suddenly I found myself wanting to stay int this moment forever.

Hey guyss!! If you are reading this thank you for sticking around. I haven't been updating much because I haven't had access to my computer but I'm back!!!!

I know this was a short chapter but I wanted to give you some type of content and this chapter was really just to focus on what is happening between Idris and Echo so it was more of a filler chapter more than anything.

Should i do a chapter in Idris' POV?

Please don't forget to vote if you feel the need to it would mean a lot thankss!!!!
