Wild Summer

Chapter 14

An hour later

Wak! Wak! Wak! Wak!

"Ouchhhhhh!", Lila screams. Yes I am currently sitting on top of my dearest best friend and abusing her with a folded magazine. Her favorite one too. Wicked I know.

Why? Why you ask! Well because this little devil thought it was better if she fed me to the dogs. Nah, not dogs. Wolves! Well just one wolf.
Fine I'm being overdramatic but so what!
She shouldn't have left me.

"You". Wak! "Little". Wak! "Devil!". Wak! Wak!
"Heyyyy! I was doing you a favor. I mean come on. Rome's hot. Your hot. I know you like him. I know he likes you. So I thought I would give you some alone time. You know?", she tries sounding reasonable peeking up at me through her eyelashes. 'I know he likes you'. That's all I kept hearing over and over again. Wait. Focus Skii.
Wak!
"Ouch!".
"No I don't know. You shouldn't have left me. Why couldn't you attack him or something? You know do one of your warrior cries and bam! Attack! Why couldn't you save me", I ask pouting like a five year old.

She laughs at this. What a fabulous friend. Rolling my eyes I get off her still pouting. The boys were somewhere in the house so it was just Lila and I in her room.

"What happened anyway?", she asks looking at me curiously.
"Isnfifnndnd", I say. What was wrong with me? I keep on babbling like a toddler.
"What!", she burst out laughing.
Clearing my throat I try again.
"He um...I...we skxjjsdbbx", I fail again miserably.
This causes Lila to laugh even harder, she even go as far as falling off the bed. Now rolling on the floor.
"I've never seen you lost for words my dear bestie", she says in between laughs.
"We kissed!", I shout. Finally I said it. What a relief. Ha I can talk. Take that Rome.

"You did, did you?", she was now calm and came back towards the bed , sitting in-front of me.
"Yes. Yes we did", I say carefully examining every inch of her perfect face.
"Well that's great ", she exclaims.
"I mean, I knew it would happen sooner or later so I'm not surprised", she says shrugging. Not surprised! This monster! This little- this little . Witch!

"What do you mean 'happen sooner or later'. Lila I want to be alone. No relationships. No ties. No attachment.", I say slowly hoping she understands every single word.
"Skii", she starts off softly. Seriously.
"What if he's what you need? What you've been searching all this time for? What if he's the one that can possible fill that hole in your chest?", she whispers.
My eyes start to sting. I will not cry! I can't.

"What if he leaves? Then what? What if he is the one that makes me feel whole again? That's the problem you know. What if he actually is the one? Then he leaves. Then he hurt me. What'll be left of me Lila? What will I have left? I can't like him. I can't", my voice breaks at the last sentence.

"Oh Skii", she whimpers her eyes now teary. She pulls me in a tight hug.
"But what if he stays", she whispers.
'What if he stays?' Those words kept repeating in my head over and over like a broken record.
'What. If . He . Stays'
A tear roll down my cheek. I can't like him. I can't allow myself to fall him. I can't.

Pulling away slowly, my best friend wipes away my tears and smiles softly.
" I think you should give him a chance Skii", she says softly.
"It's your choice. But I'm just telling you as a best friend . I think you should put your self out there. Stop being so afraid", she continues looking into my brown orbs.
I nod. Maybe I will.

"Hey lovebirds! Are you gals making out in there? Come on open up I wanna see", Ofcourse this was Jake. We quickly clean our selves up. Then we hear kissing noises.
