Wesley

You

Aaliyah

"Answer!"

"Why don't you just go to his house?" Parker turns to me. "Besides standing by your phone waiting for him to call"

"What if I did something wrong?" I frown. "I miss him... or, what if somethings wrong with him?"

"Go see him" Lorenzo rubs my shoulder.

I look up at him and sigh before standing off. "Okay" I grab my keys. "I'll see you guys in a little bit"

They wave and I jog out of the house, getting into my little car and driving to Wesley's house.

I'm worried...

His phone's been off since yesterday and I miss my friend...

Did I do something?

Why doesn't he wanna see or talk to me?

But at the same time, we know Wes. Every little thing can set him back.

I pull into his house and knock on the door, in which Devin opens.

"Aaliyah!" he greets me with a cheerful voice and smile. "It's so good to see you! How are you feeling?!"

"Sure" I chuckle. "Do you know where Wesley is?"

"He's up in his room in his pity party" he sighs. "He needs someone, but apparently that someone isn't me"

"May I-"

"Go see him"

I smile and walk into the house, going up the stairs and opening the door to his room.

He turns to me, eyes widened. I run to him, jumping on his bed to hug him. "Wes!"

"A... w-what are you doing here?" he pulls me back.

"I've missed you... why have you been ignoring me?" I frown.

"I'm not"

"You are"

"Ple-"

"Wes..."

He shakes his head. "It's my fault-"

"It's not-"

"It is! I sped up and I went over that hill. It's my fault, I did all of it. And I hurt you..." he looks down.

I lift his chin up. "Bubba, I don't blame you for anything! Accidents happen, it's inevitable! I would never, ever, blame you or hate you!!" I hug him tightly.

"Are you sure?" his huge arms wrap around me.

"I'm a thousand percent sure!" I kiss his cheek and pull back. "How do you feel?" I rest my forehead on his.

I looks down, silently chuckling. "I should be in a sling" he pulls back, showing me his scarred elbow.

My eyes widen. "I have the same scar!!" I show him mine on the same elbow. "It's meant to be!!" I say and he bursts out laughing. "And look!" I show him my ring finger. "It's still on!"

He plays with the ring. "I'm glad I have you, A"

I smile. "I'm glad I have you"

His eyes have that little sparkle that I've noticed for awhile now.

Oh he's a cutie.

"Missed you, brother" Parker pats Wesley's back.

"Glad you're back" Lorenzo adds.

"Me too... sorry for bailing on you guys" Wesley tugs his lips to the side.

They shake their heads. "You're family now, we're gonna separate from each other at least once in our brotherhood" Lorenzo shakes his shoulder.

Wesley smiles and I look up at him. "Well, wanna get our milkshakes?"

"It's an Archer tradition!" Parker and Lorenzo run in.

Wesley and I walk in, laughing. "I don't know, I don't want a lot since I'm on a diet" Wesley looks at the types of milkshakes there are.

I laugh. "Wes, baby, you don't even need a diet! You're ripped as fuck!"

"By being on a diet" he winks.

"Oh whatever! Fuck the diet!"

"Kids in the premise!"

"Yeah, Parker"

"I'm not a child! I'm an adult!"

"Then act like it"

"You know wha-"

"Why don't we split one, yeah?" I turn to Wesley and he shrugs, indicting he doesn't care. "Vanilla?"

"Oh come on! Let's have a flavor!! Like... Oreo?" he smirks. Oh that gorgeous smirk a girl will fall for and he doesn't even know!

"Ewww" I look at him in disgust.

"What can I get you guys today?" a waitress smiles,
looking at Wes.

"Peppermint milkshake!" Parker says in excitement.

"Birthday cake" Lorenzo kicks his lips.

"Va-"

"Oreo milkshake" Wes cuts me off.

The waitress blushes and nods. "And you?" she turns to me.

"I'm sharing with him" I say to make her angry.

"Oh... okay" she fakes a smile and walks off.

"She's hot!!" Parker nudges Wes.

"She's obviously hitting on you!! Smash it!" Lorenzo ruffles Wesley's hair.

I roll my eyes and Wes looks at me then back at the boys. "You two are annoying"

We all sit and talk for about ten minutes before the shakes came out.

"I got you a separate shake, on me" the waitress, named Shariah, smiles as she gives Wes his.

My eyes widen, even after she hands everyone theirs.

"Now you totally gotta bang her!" Parker gasps, wiggling Wes.

Wes fakes a smile.

I look down, frowning as I drink the oreo shake, eating the oreo pieces.

"Hey, you okay?" Wes takes my hand.

"Yeah" I return the fake smile. "Just burnt out"

He shakes his head. "A, I'm not gonna be like every cliche dude and believe that bullshit of a lie. What's wrong?"

"Nothing-"

"Come on now," he gets out of the booth and takes my hand, dragging me outside. "You were fine fifteen minutes ago! What's wrong?" he asks and I pout, causing him to make an O shape with his lips in realization. "That waitress, yeah?"

"She's all over you" I sigh.

"What's wrong with it? I obviously wouldn't go for her, A. You know that. My insecurity around you guys are just about over, I wouldn't go after a hoe" he kisses my forehead, hugging me.

"I love you, Wes. I just don't wanna lose my best friend to another group of people" I pull back.

"You won't. It's always me and you, A!" he kisses my cheek before tickling me to death.

"HEY!" I run in the parking lot, until his long legged ass catches me and picks me up.

"No running in a parking lot to high" he says and we burst out laughing.

Fuck.

Feelings.

Feelings.

Feelings.

I'm catching them.

Hardcore.

And I haven't known him that long.

Fuck me.
