Izzy's POV
"You just had to accept the offer didn't you?"
"Hey, you need to make a move, you finally see her again after ten years, TEN!" Kenny yells as she continues driving.
"I will not make a move, it's scary, plus you don't even know if she likes me or something" I say and she sighs.
"Just be yourself"
"Yeah that's what I've been doing my whole life and it's gotten me nowhere"
"Don't stress okay? I'll be with you through everything and anything" She says and I smile.
We pulled into Christen's house, it was beautiful. We all got out the car and I grabbed my bag as Kenny was well being Kenny.
"So follow me" Christen says.
I walked next to Kenny, who was telling me to calm down. But I couldn't.
We walked into her home and it was just as beautiful.
"Welcome and I'll show you guys where you'll be staying"
"I'll gladly sleep on the couch" I say and Christen looks at me.
"Nonsense there's room for all of us" Christen says.
"A-are you sure? We don't mind. Isn't that right Kenny?" I ask and I don't get answer. "Ke-"
"Tobin leave me alone! I said I was kidding!"
"Kids" Christen and I both say and I laugh.
"Kendra! Leave Tobin alone"
"Sorry" She mumbles and I shake my head.
Christen finally showed us to where we would be staying and I set down my bag down. One problem, we didn't bring clothes to change in. How stupid of us. Great I'll just ask Tobin.
"Tobin do you have any clothes I can borrow? Kenny and I didn't bring any" I say.
"Sorry I just gave my extra clothes to Kenny" Tobin says causing me to groan.
Great just great!
"You could ask Christen, I'm sure she'd let you borrow some" She says.
"Um yeah sure" I say.
Christen's POV
"Okay Christen, deep breaths, it's just the girl you've liked for over ten years, she's just spending the night" I whisper to myself.
I took the suit off but at the same time thinking about well everything, I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. I quickly put some sweats on and walked to the door.
"Tobin I've told you, you don't need to kno- oh hi I'm sorry, is everything okay?" I ask and Izzy just looks at me.
"I um, I asked Tobin for some clothes because Kendra and I didn't bring any extra clothes, but she didn't have any because she gave them to Kendra. So she said that maybe I could ask you? You don't have to I just tho-"
"Hey it's okay, yeah of course I can let you borrow some clothes" I say and she smiles.
"Thank you" She says and I nod.
"You can come in" I say opening the door.
She walked into my room, as I went to my drawer to get her some of my clothes. She could keep it if she wanted to, no complaining from my part.
"Here you go, you can change in my bathroom if you want" I say and Izzy nods.
"Thank you" She says and I nod as I lead her to the bathroom.
I waited outside on my bed, I was scrolling on my phone when Izzy's voice caught my attention.
"Christen?" She asks and I quickly get up from my bed.
"Yeah?"
"Could you call Kenny please?"
"Is everything okay?" I ask and there was a moment of silence.
"Um yeah I just need her to zip down my dress"
"I can help you if you would like" I say.
"Um yeah I would appreciate that" she says opening the door.
She turned around and if I wasn't already in love with her then now I'm definitely in love with her. I slowly zipped down her dress. Many things going through my head.
"There you go" I say and she smiles.
"Thank you" She says and goes back into the bathroom.
A million things going through my mind, but then I remember, she doesn't even know I have a dick and that just makes me feel unworthy of her love.
"Christen?"
"Huh? Oh hi" I say and she slightly tilts her head.
"Are you okay? I've been saying your name for a couple minutes now and you seemed out of it"
"Oh um I'm okay" I smile at her but she doesn't seem phased.
"I don't believe you, but you won't talk about it if you don't want to so there's a reason. Anyway thank you for this, have a good night Christen" Izzy says as she walks out my room.
"Yeah, you too" I say and she walks away.
Kenny's POV
"I don't understand why you won't tell her" I ask as I lay on the bed, but also as I hog the blanket.
"First give me some of the blanket, and second I won't tell her because no" Izzy says.
"I've known you my whole life why won't you tell me why you won't tell Christen how you feel!"
"I'm scared! I'm scared to tell her because all my life I've been let down! You and Tobin are the only people who have stayed despite anything. I'm scared I tell her and she'll think I'm a weirdo for liking her for over ten years. TEN!" She yells and tears start streaming down her face.
"Hey hey look at me" I whisper as I wrap my arms around her. "I love you, and I know for a fact that you are such an amazing, wonderful, kind, generous person and if she thinks you're weird for that, then screw her!"
Izzy looks at me with wide eyes and I laugh.
"Not that kind of screw you beautiful idiot" I say and she laughs.
"Thank you"
"That's what best friends are for" I say and she kisses my cheek.
Tobin's POV
"YOU SPACED OFF?! Christen tell her!" I yell.
"Stop yelling Tobs, I'm not going to tell her"
"But why not? You've liked her since high school! I bet all the money in the world the feelings are reciprocated"
"So I ask her out right? Then we got out on some dates, then I'll want to ask her to be my girlfriend but right before I ask her to be my girlfriend I'll tell her about my friend down there because no secrets and then when I tell her she'll think I'm a freak because I have a dick! And then she'll leave" Christen says as she looks down at her lap and plays with her fingers.
"Chris she's not like that, she has the heart of gold, and she would definitely love you either way" I say and she sighs.
"I know but I'm scared"
"And I totally understand that, but if you don't try you'll never know"
"I guess so" She whispers.
"Just think about it okay?" I ask.
"Okay"
"Alright goodnight"
"Goodnight Tobs, and thank you" Chris says and I smile.
"Anytime" I say and walk out the room.
