SALLY
I woke up with eyes staring at me, and a body sitting on my bed. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked. I winked to get my eyes opened. “I told you I would pick you up sometime, and I told you to be ready!” he whispered almost laughing back. I winked plenty of times again and looked at him. I looked at my phone to check the clock. 2:04 AM. “You’re crazy!” I said a little louder and drowned myself in my duvet. His hand slowly got under the duvet and I pulled it away and jumped out of the duvet and ran to the bath. I looked in the mirror. What the actually fuck was going on with my face? And my date just saw that.. wow, couldn’t be a good start. I pulled on skinny jeans and a dark grey hoodie with The Beatles on. What more could he expect? It was in the middle of the fucking night! Quickly I put on a little make-up and moved my hair in a possession that didn’t look too bad. I got out of the bathroom and ran straight in Zack. I pulled my hood back on my head and looked at him in silence to tell him I was sorry for running him down. But as I looked at him he suddenly came closer and put his one hand on my cheek moving me closer to him. Slowly his lips touched mine. I recalled the memories of failing last time and pulled back. He looked sad at me, before I quickly nodded against all the sleeping people.
He moved down the stairs but stopped as I stopped. He looked asking at me and raised an eyebrow. “You’re late though” I said and acted like I was mad. “Pretty, please.. Busy week, I’m super sorry!” he said and reached out his hand to grab mine, but I turned around and put my arms in a cross. As I was supposed to start walking up again he grabbed me by the waist and lifted me down the rest of the stairs. I stared fight against it but I only laughed. It was tickling, and I couldn’t stay ‘mad’ when I was so tired.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out after him. He dragged me out the door and stopped in front of the car. “Ready for your best date ever?” he smiled. He sounded so confident around me. I never thought he was the confident one. “You don’t even know your competition” I lied to him and faked a grin. He didn’t have any competition.. This was the first date I’d been on ever, and I couldn’t even understand why he wanted to do it. And why the fuck did he kiss me again? I mean.. I failed totally and I didn’t even reply it properly. Suddenly he looked not confident and stared at me for a while. “If you don’t want to it’s totally fine..” he said. He looked at the ground and I could see he felt uncomfortable. I took a step closer to him and waited for his face to turn up. Slowly I took my one finger and moved his cheek so he looked at my face. I locked his eyes, and I felt myself shiver as I stepped another step closer to him. I still locked his eyes, and uncomfortable; I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him. I felt his hands on my waist and I could stand back down on my feet cause he was now looking down at me instead. He pulled me closer and kissed me more passionately than ever before. The amazing feeling that someone actually kissed me.. wow, that was something I had waited for. That was something I wouldn’t let go. That was something I would remember forever.

The light from my nightstand clock was mocking me and I turned form side to side. I stood up for twenty-second time and pulled the curtains closer together, even I already knew that wasn’t the problem. Every second felt like years and I wish I just could disappear to another world. To not sleep in the night was the worst thing, when you weren’t with your friends and got drunk. That was something I did pretty well too though. Again I jumped out of my bed but this time I threw on some pants. The house was empty. Alex and Rian was out with some girls, and Zack.. I don’t even know. Or I had a thought where he was, but I didn’t even want to find it out. I took out my phone and looked at it. A picture of Sally and me, wow; she was pretty. And such a great friend. Well, at least she was before. My stupidity probably ruined it all. I should never have read her diary. What was I even thinking? Now I didn’t care what was up between Zack and Sally. I never thought I would say that, but I really just wanted my friend back. What ever that would cost.
I went my fingers through my messy hair and closed my eyes. What a messed up crap I was. I stood up and went to the window. The rain was splashing down outside. My eyes started closing more and more often, and I thought I should get back to bed, so I could get some sleep, and hopefully not be awake when Rian and Alex got back home. Just in the second I thought that, a car turned in to our house and it’s light hit me straight in the eye.
SALLY
Zack opened the door for me and leaded me out of the car. I knew I was going to talk to Jack sooner or later. That was why Zack brought me here. He took hold of my hand and smiled at me. I wanted to say something, or act rude like I normally did, but I was totally changed. I mean, not totally, but with him I was more confident and I didn’t need to hide behind rude comments. I had a lot of stuffs to tell jack though. I had rude comments, and hurting facts, but everything just disappeared as Zack smiled at me. He got me relaxed and I thought maybe Jack was still asleep so I wouldn’t have to care.
The door opened and I realized that my thought was just a dream, cause he was standing in front of me. His messy hair to every single direction and his tall body only covered in some sweatpants. Flashbacks got into my head and I just wanted to turn around and go home to Milly and Frank. As I obviously shivered and made a gesture to get out of Zack’s hand, he just tingled his fingers with mine and hugged my hand harder. I smiled weakly to Zack and got in. Jack didn’t say anything. He only stood there, looking at me like I was the biggest ghost ever. I jumped out of my shoes and stared at the messy head. “So.. What’s up?” he suddenly said. I stood there with wide-open eyes and words and flashbacks kept coming up in my head. Zack squeezed my hand as I didn’t speak, but he was going to regret that. “What’s up? What’s up? That’s what you could come up with?” I started. I could se Jack’s eyes getting bigger as I started yell at him. “If you don’t have anything else than that to say, I won’t say anything either. This is just all stupid” I continued in a hope that he would speak. I wanted him to talk to me, to fix up in these things. I needed him as my friend again. I tried to think like that, that I needed him in my life. I tried to think about every positive thing to keep the flashbacks away, but nothing worked.
Anger and sadness spread through my veins. I shook my hand out of Zack’s to keep tears inside. I knew how I was reacting with Zack beside me, or when he was touching me. I was being emotional, and I couldn’t be. I needed to stay as the strong person I used to be. Zack had seen some tears stream down my cheeks, but no one else were going to. No.
