Best Friend's Sister

Are You Crazy?

Dani's POV
I freeze as I stare into Lisa's brown eyes unable to discern if she is disgusted or mad, the two emotions I feel towards myself. At least I didn't kiss Lauren on the lips like I wanted to. The voice in the back of my head was able to contain my impulsive self.

She opens her mouth and I don't know what to expect since it probably looked different from her angle.

From mine I felt like I was acting like a caring girlfriend not just a friend. Maybe that's because it was the way I wanted to be seen in Lauren's eyes. It's easier to act this way when she is sick because I'm scared of Lauren. Not of her attacking me but of my feelings for her.

What would Lisa think of me?

More pressing think of her little sister?

I don't want to ruin their closeness if Lauren and I broke up. I don't want to ruin Lisa and my closeness. The rejection of Lauren's love doesn't scare me either because I've been rejected and cheated on more times then I care to admit. I would love to have her love me back but that isn't what usually happens, at least for me.

I wait for some indication of emotion to prepare myself and her eyes finally show me emotion, disbelief, "Are you crazy?" She yells and I shrink into myself.

Kinda, I love your younger sister.

I open my mouth to admit my guilt and shame but she interrupts me.

She comes closer to me, is she going to hurt me, "The flu is very contagious." I quickly close my mouth realizing she just thinks I'm stupid not thinking I'm in love with her sister.

She steps past me to sit at the end of Lauren's bed, "I don't want both of you sick. It already hurts to see Lauren so miserable." She puts the back of her hand on Lauren's forehead, "Still burning. I'm going to get a towel. Don't get yourself sick." I nod too scared to give myself away. "If she wakes up before I'm back call me."

I look at her confused, "Are you going to be gone for long?" She shakes her head a soft smile on her face.

"No I have to come back so you can get started on her soup."
