Friends Forever or More? (Wayhaught)

CH 4

POV Waverly

As I walked to school my mind was racing. I had so many questions I wanted to ask her, and I would've stayed home, but I couldn't let Claudia present on her own just because Nicole decided to show up out of nowhere. I mean why does she think she can just show up after all these years of basically ignoring my existence. She promised we'd be best friends forever but broke that promise a long time ago.

I got to class with a minute to spare and sat down next to Claudia. Claudia turns wide eyed and says, "what took you so long?!"

"I'm sorry but this morning has been a bit of a shit show, more of a shit show than it normally is."

Claudia gets a worried look in her eyes, "are you ok, what happened?"

"I'll tell you about it after this presentation, I don't want to get in my head too much before this. In all honesty I don't know if I'm ok, but I just want to ace this presentation right now."

"Whatever you say Waverly."

We have to sit through a few presentations before we get to ours and I somehow pull myself together enough to execute the presentation as planned. My first class is finally over, and I can't get Nicole off my mind. I think it might be best if I just ditch school and go home so I can talk with her.

I tell Claudia everything that happened from us being best friends as little kids to her showing up on my doorstep this morning. Claudia agrees with me that Nicole needs to provide a really good explanation for herself showing up after all these years. She agrees and tells me to go home early and that she appreciated me even coming it at all to do the presentation.

I somehow sneak out of school without getting caught and start walking back home trying to come up with what I want to say to her.

POV Nicole

It's been almost two hours since Waverly left and I've just been sitting at her desk in her bedroom trying to think of the best way to go about explaining myself to her. I hear the door open and start to get extremely nervous but think it's weird that Waverly would be home so soon. I get up from her desk and make my way downstairs, but it's not Waverly it's another girl that looks slightly older.

One of the stairs makes a noise under my foot and the girl jumps "holy mother of god, you scared the shit out of me. Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my house?" She looks me up and down at least four times "holy shit, Nicole is that you? I haven't seen you in years."

I start to piece together who this could be and all of the sudden it strikes me "Wynonna is that you?" Wynonna and I were never close because she was always hanging out with her older friends and found Waverly and I quite lame when we were younger.

"Yeah, it's me...you've gotten, uh, taller" she says while smirking. She shakes the smirk off her face, "but what are you doing here, alone, in my house and does Waverly know you're here?"

"Well I actually ran into Waves this morning before she went to school and she's the one who let me in and told me to wait until she comes back so we can talk."

Wynonna starts to walk towards the door, "well I was just stopping in to grab food before work, but we should for sure catch up later. Oh, and be delicate when talking to Waverly."

She almost walks out the door, but I am able to stop her, "wait what do you mean by that?" Wynonna turns to me and says, "I mean she was devastated when she lost you as a friend all those years ago, so don't fuck it up again." With that she closes the door.

I stand there in the living room and now my mind is racing even more. She was devastated? I begin to think back to how everything ended and realize that I really am an asshole. We promised to be friends forever and I just ditched her. Now I am really starting to think that coming here was a mistake, but before I can do anything else the door swings open and Waverly walks and we make eye contact. I wonder why she is home already, but I can tell that she is just as nervous as me.

"Nicole we really need to talk." She lets her eyes drop to the ground as I respond, "yeah we probably should do that." She walks past me and heads to her bedroom and make my way up right behind her.
