Chapter Two - Surprise

it was raining when I reached my house. I clenched my fists, to stop the shivering I had started five minutes ago. My teeth were chattering as I entered my house, but it couldn't overcome the betrayal and anger I felt for Clapton. 

I remember when we made a promise to always stay together no matter what, but I guess he has grown up and doesn't believe in silly things now or he just doesn't remember.

I opened the door and slammed it closed, fuelling my anger towards the doorknob. I turned around expecting my mom to run down the stairs and give me an hour lecture on how doorknobs have feelings and why we should care for them, but no pattering of feet came or frustrated sighs, not even whispers. I looked around to find the house empty and the lights turned off, making the room dull and gloomy, just like me. 

I sighed and walked into the kitchen to find some food for my demanding and rude, growling stomach. I started to make myself a sandwich, before washing all of the dirty plates. My mind kept going back to that conversation between those two girls.

Is it true? did he ditch me for Ione? 

I didn't realise that I had created a huge water mess on the floor and cursed. Not only could i possibly be losing my friend but I am losing my mind. I am judging my best friend before I even had the chance to talk to him. But there is a tiny voice in the back of my head softly whispering the worst...loneliness. 

I walked towards a towel to dry the dishes when I slipped over the puddle of water and landed on my leg. I heard a crack in my leg and screamed at the unbearable pain the surged through my ankle. I laid down flat on the ground, finding ways to lessen the pain but it only seemed to burn even more.  My breathing started to quicken as the pain became numb. I looked up at the ceiling, thinking of ways to get help. My parents weren't home and stupid Clapton left me, so I did the only thing I could do...I closed my eyes and thought about who I should include in my will. 

To my dear mother, I give you my earnings I have hidden in my small compartment behind my sock drawer. There is about $15 - Sorry I'm broke. I also give you my paintings and portraits I have created of the whole family.

To my dear father, I give you my permission to take care of my dog, Mitzy. Please remember to feed her at 6:30am and at 6:00pm, or else she gets angry and starts pooping all over the floor. 

And to my dear little brother, I give you nothing. You are annoying and retarded. But I give you my love, which probably won't mean anything to you.

Suddenly a smash noise came from the living room, making me jump and clutch my leg. I tried to look at what was happening but I couldn't see past the kitchen table. I suddenly felt cold and scared. Clicking footsteps from a distance were coming towards me. Louder and louder they came, until no noise was heard. I held my breathe, not wanting to give the intruder a clue to where I was hiding. 

I opened my eyes to look at my leg and was surprised at how swollen it was. I also noticed an extra foot that was next to my leg. My breath was caught. I froze, staring at the pair of feet that came into view and slowly lifted my head to the stranger. I gasped and covered my hand over my mouth. A mask of bandages were wrapped around securely around its face, leaving the mouth, eyes and nose exposed and her face was dripping with blood from its drenched blond hair. A tiara was placed on the side and tangled within the bloody hair. The eyes had a crazed look and it smirked.

"Well. I seem to have taken the wrong turn to the prom" a familiar deep voice whispered.

"What the f-"

"SURPRISE!" the stranger took off the mask and wig, revealing Clapton. Anger consumed me as he started to laugh, flailing his arms around. His laughter came to a complete stop when he noticed I was staying still with my elbows supporting my weight and staring at the swollen lump on my leg. He slowly walked towards me and saw my painful bruise. He gasped wrapping his arms around the small of my back and gently touching my leg. I sucked in a breath and closed my eyes as a painful stab washed through my leg. He looked at me, tears threatening to break surface. "Riles. What happened?" he whispered wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a tight hug.

i laughed bitterly. "you know. You don't have to pretend you care." I pushed out of his grip. He kept protesting, but I ignored him and grabbed the bench for leverage as I forced myself to get up. Every step I went, made me cringe with pain. But nothing was more painful than a friend not telling me he's dating the cliche cheerleader.

I limped towards a chair and carefully sat down on the ground. I looked around and spotted a phone. 

"get it for me will you?" I point towards the phone. He walked over and advanced towards me. i reached  for it but Clapton pulled the phone before I get it back. i grunted, folding my arms and looking away from him.

"What do you want Clapton?" I say angrily.

"I want to know why you're so angry" he said softly and folding his arms across his chest. I scoffed at his remark and laughed silently.

"Like you don't know. Don't pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about" I whisper the last sentence. I looked down unable to face my best friend, but a large hand gripped my chin and forced me to look up. 

"Tell me what I have done wrong! I won't know if you don't tell me." He said roughly. I smacked his hand away, but he gripped my shoulders and tightened his hold. I widened my eyes at this new side I haven't from him, but it only seems to make me angrier.

"You're going out with Ione" I blurt out. He releases me from his tight hold and steps back a little. He looks confused and then shows a look that I haven't seen in a long time, guilt. He never has been guilty of anything towards me except when I broke my arm because he accidentally pushed me off the tree we were climbing. 

"Riles-"

"don't Riles me. You're dating my enemy and you didn't tell me. Not only that but I find out from a group of stupid gossiping girls!" I shout at him.

"Riles i was going to tell you, but I caught a ride with Ione and I kind of forgot about riding with you" He said while looking at the ground. Hatred for Ione was increasing, but I was so confused on why Clapton would forget about our friendship for a girl in one day. 

"Well why don't you forget everything about me" I grunt before getting off the chair. i ignored the pain, not bothering to lean on my good leg. 

"Riles, please. i've liked Ione for a long time and I am happy with her" he pleaded while walking towards me. I was surprised at this comment. He never told me anything about liking my enemy, but then again he probably wouldn't want me to get angry for liking the person I hate the most. I stepped back and couldn't stand much longer. I fell to the ground, eyes closed and hands clutched to my side. My head hit the corner of the chair and I landed on the floor with a thump.

My leg was now burning and my eyes were clouded with black spots. I was becoming dizzy, so Clapton moved me onto my back and played with my hair. i smiled at this moment, enjoying every minute even though my leg looked like a balloon. 

My eyes were getting heavier and it was harder to move my arms. My breath was getting faster and i was losing consciousness. He called the ambulance and came back to my side. I looked up at Claptons face and forced my hand to move to his right cheek. I knew that I was in love with him. i was in love with my best friend and I couldn't deny the strong feeling in my heart. His face came towards me, too close. 

We were inches away, his eyes on my lips and his hot breath fanning across mine. I lifted my head a little, looking at his eyes. Our noses were touching and we paused at the moment. i closed my eyes, drifting a little into unconsciousness, but I forced myself to stay awake. I wanted to feel his lips on mine and savour the moment.

But it never came. I didn't open my eyes again.
