Summer made us

Chapter 18

Lily's POV

I haven't seen Cole since morning and I miss him. When I first met him, he irritated the shit out of me with his cocky attitude but when I got to spend time with him, he warmed up to me and now I don't know what it is I feel for him.

I wanted to tell Tasha about this whole fling thing but I don't know how she'll react to it.

I was in my living room watching 'Wild n out' with Mason and DC young fly has been making me laugh since with his funny wild styles. At first I didn't really like the show but Josh would always make me watch it.

Josh has been my best friend since about the same time I met Tash but ever since he left our school we never spoke to each other again. I think he changed his number cos I haven't been able to reach him.

Our friendship was weird at first because he had this big crush on me but when we got past that, everything became normal for all three of us.

I remember how we'll all cut class and go see a movie then get in trouble for it later or the sleep overs we had at my house. I smiled at all the memories. I really missed them a lot.

But ever since he left, its always been me and Tash and as much as its been fun and all it'll never be the same without him. A tap on my shoulder cut me out of my reverie.

"You seemed so deep in thought. What you thinking about? " Mason asked.

"I just remembered Josh and old times. " Mason knew Josh well too and I could see it in his eyes that he missed him too because Josh was like a brother to him, the only friend he had.

"He left without telling us and it hurts." I said wiping the only tear that escaped from my eyes.

"Things happen for a reason Lils. Don't stress about it too much. " He said to me and continued watching the TV.

Josh was always the secretive type. He didn't talk about himself much or the things he was going through, he kept it all to himself and one day when I went to school he didn't show.

I thought he was sick or something so I didn't put mind to it. A week passed he didn't show up at school. Me and Tash went to visit him but there was no one home. We called his phone but no answer. We even called his parents but they didn't answer too.

I cried that day because he left without informing us but after some time I learned to live with it. So watching this show right now just reminded me of him and the times he'll force me and Tash to watch it with him.

I needed a breather. "Mase I'll be back okay? I want to get some fresh air. "

"Okay. " he said and continued watching the TV.

I stood up from the couch and went out of the house. Its been a while since I last sat under the tree. So I went there and sat down just staring blankly in front of me.

I was crying and I don't know why. I haven't cried like this since Micheal broke up with me and now I'm crying because I remembered Josh.

I was full blown crying now when a pair of hands engulfed me in a hug. The scent of the person filled my nose and I knew who it was. Cole.

"Lils why you crying? Did someone hurt you? Tell me who did it and I'll make sure the person pays for it. " he said. I couldn't say anything, I just let him hug me till I was done crying.

I pulled away from his embrace and wiped my face with the handkerchief he handed me. It made me remember the first time he gave me this.

He was sitting beside me and I rested my head on his shoulder.
