Best friends (WATTY 2013)

Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve

It's been three days since I found out the news.Good thing our school was retarded and didnt care if I skipped school.I haven’t talked to anybody but my Dad.I haven't talked to anyone else.I needed time to myself.the only reason I had talked to my Dad was because he was calling to check on me .That's when I cut my phone completely off .I haven't talked to my mom because I was so mad! I don't know how to explain how angry I am.

I just can't shake the thought of my father dying. I mean I will NEVER get to talk to him EVER again!What am I supposed to do about that? Oh I forgot ,Im not God! Ugh this is so frustrating .I wonder how my Mom feels.Now I feel very selfish about blocking everybody out.They will probably only comfort me when I tell them.

I went to go get my phone when ,

knock knock knock

I glanced at the door.

Who could that be?

When I got to the door there wasn't anyone there.So I just shrugged it off. Trying not to get to scared that there was a mysterious knocking at my door.

knock knock kncok

Where was that coming from?

Then I noticed that there was something moving at my window.To my surprise it wasn't something ,it was someone and that someone was Joey.

I ran over to the window.My house is two stories so this was very dangerous.

"Joey!What are you doing on my TWO STORY HOUSE?!"I yelled at him

"You know you have a ladder on the side of your house right?"he said casually

"That dosen't explain why you didnt come threw the door"

"You're acting like you would've answered the door-anyways that's not the point! I came because I was trying to make sure you were okay.We haven't gone this long without saying at least 'hey' to each other"He said

"Hey now bye"

I closed my window in his face.Behind the window he looked so hurt.

knock knock knock

"Fine come in"I said pulling him in my room

"Okay what did I do to you?"he asked taking a seat next to me

"NothingI just....nevermind I was being rude Im sorry"

"There is something  you're not telling me "he said as his eyes searched mine.

"No there isn't "I isisted.

To stop that conversation from going any further I jumped up and turned the TV on.

"Stop,come sit back down and tell me what's going on"He insisted

"How do you know me so well?"I asked

"You're my bestfriend"

"Okay okay okay,"I shifted on the bed"Joey do you think it was selfish of me to block everybody out?"I asked

"No,you need time to think.You needed to cope with yourself because you don't know what to do.You're father is dying and that is something to grieve for three days about."He said

"I just cant shake that thought!"by now the tears had fallen.This was my fourth time crying today.

"Listen,would you be mad at me for not talking to you after I found out my dad had cancer and he was going to die?"He asked

I wiped my tears and sat up."No but you hate your Dad"I said

"I don't hate my Dad I just don't like the fact that he is never there...Don't tell anybody but I actually love both of my parents I just wish both of them were here with me  and cared about me"He said and his own tears.

I wiped his tears away."You're parents are just going to miss what a good person you are,but you have to know in the end they are still your parents.Okay?"I said wiping my and his final tears.

"Okay Mandie Thanks"He said and smiled weakly at me and he hugged me .

"Okay we have to be happy for the rest of the day okay?I really don't want to be unhappy because I don't like being helpless and stuff so can we but this in the backburner for right now?"I asked

"Okay Mandie I really needed that"He said

"You're welcome and you aren't the only one!"I giggled

"Hey!Do I still get to pick the movie?!"He asked

"Sure Joey go ahead"

"FAST FIVE!"He yelled like a little boy

He put the movie in and came to sit beside me and we watched the movie.

*Joey'sPOV*

I felt so sorry for her.I don't know what to do .She has NEVER cried like that.She always held her composure and she the count to ten thing and while she did that ONE tear would fall.I really don't know what to do. Considering that I had my own problems.All I knew was that I had to stay there with her through this and forever.

I glanced down at her,she was sleeping soundly. Her face was red and puffy from the crying.My shirt was completly wet and it felt like when we were pre-teens and her Dad left.She would sllep over at my house and she would have night mares about her Dad and she would wake up screaming.The only thing that seemed to stop her from crying was me.

Could it be that she loved me?

No that's insane.

But she blushed when I sung that song to her.

That's because the song is true.

But when Adam got her a card that sung that song she acted goofy

So?

Soo...

Am I really having conversation with my head?

I tried my hardest not to wake her up as I got up toget another shirt.When i finally got up to got to her drawer I seen a picture of us.All of us.My family her family.Those were the good times.Nobody cried unles they got a boo-boo on their knee.No worries.

I got a tee-shirt and some gym shorts.I also noticed that there wasn't anything else in the drawer for in the morning .When I got back Mandie was stretched out and I couldn't even get in.I scratched my neck.

How am I going to do this?

I picked her up bridal style as softly as I could.Then I laid her on the other side ,then I got in.She snuggled up against me.I couldn’t help but think that we should be WAY more than just bestfriends.Then I thought about the kiss she gave me.I REALLY wanted to tell her.I was so hurt when she said it was just a dare.

If only we could be more than bestfriends
