If I Was To Join Them

Chapter 10

Ch. 10

I walk in and notice that no one sits on the couch. I shrug it off and head to my room instantly. I lay down on my bed and start thinking about the bad thing that might happen, and I feel it now worse than ever.

The feeling starts to eat me away, so I stand and head towards Hoody's room, hoping to have something to take my mind away from this. I walk in and see that he hasn't came home yet. I sigh, but make my way to Jeff's room instead. I notice that he's not here either. I'm staring to get aggravated.

I walk towards Sil's room, hoping he hasn't gone off the kill someone. I mentally breathe a sigh of relief as I notice him sitting on his bed. I walk in and sit with him, hoping I can get a full on conversation with him. But I can't talk about that feeling I have. Or Hoody. Maybe I can talk about Hoody.

"Hey, Sil! It's been forever! Not really, just earlier today. Anyway, how are you?" I say, starting it with whatever that was.

"You seem hyper," he says, eyeballing me curiously. I nod, and he looks down at his hands. Hmm, wonder why...

"Do you have a secret?" I say, determined to figure out whatever is up with him. He nods slightly.

"It's about one of my guy friends," he says, basically kicking me out of the picture. And Sally.

"Who?" I ask, suddenly more interested than before.

"Let me ask you something. If your friend came to you and told you they had a crush on someone, what would you do?" he questions me. I suddenly feel like I'm being interviewed.

"Hmm, I would probably cheer them on. Why?"

"What if it was someone you had a crush on as well?"

That's a tough one, because that's never happened to me.

"Umm, tell the person to back off I guess..." I say, looking at the floor. I have a feeling my best friend has a crush on someone!!!

"Who is your guy friend?" I ask, hoping I can figure something out from that. He shakes his head.

"I shouldn't tell you. He told me to not tell anyone or he would kill me."

"Jeff?"

"You weren't supposed to guess..." he says.

"So I got it right?!" I blurt, feeling excited. He continues to stare at his hands. I sigh, feeling aggravated. I get no response. I sigh again, louder this time. Still no response. I sigh even louder, this time falling into his lap. He just looks me in the eyes, a light blush present on his cheeks.

I just sit there in his lap, remembering the crush I had on him a while back. I almost blush thinking about it. He never looks away from my eyes, then starts to stand. I almost fall to the ground, but catch myself and sit back up.

"I can't be your friend anymore. It hurts to much," he says, then walks out.

Hmm? What was that about?
