Friends Forever or More? (Wayhaught)

CH 5

POV Waverly

I can hear Nicole's footsteps as she follows me up the steps and into my bedroom. I let her walk past me before shutting the door and sitting down on my bed. She stands awkwardly leaning against the wall. "You know you can sit down at my desk."

She responds, "oh ok, thanks."

We are now just sitting there in silence seemingly looking everywhere, but at each other. I finally decide to speak up and ask, "so...I don't want to come across as rude, but why are you here? I mean it's been 10 years."

"Yeah, so it's a little complicated, but long story short I told my mom that I like girls and she got all upset and mentioned some kind of therapy, so I just had to get out of there. I was trying to think of places I could go and the only person I could think of was you Waves."

"It's crazy that you even thought of me at all to be honest."

Nicole's head snapped up, "huh, what do you mean?"

"I mean you promised before you left 10 years ago that we would be friends forever and as soon as you found new people you just fully forgot about me. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you by saying that didn't hurt."

"Waves, I want to say sorry because I am, but I know that won't fully make up for it. I was an asshole and I didn't realize at the time how lucky I was to have to as a friend. I wish I could go back in time and fix it all and not because I just feel bad, but because I miss you. I never fully forgot about you I guess I just thought that because I moved our friendship wouldn't work. I know that's a stupid excuse and I'm an idiot, I know that, but I guess I was hoping you'd let me stay here until I can figure something else out and I can try my hardest to make it up to you."

Wow, as much as I want to be as mad at her as a was when she first showed up, that little speech lessened the blow significantly. I can't just kick her out and I'm sure my parents wouldn't care if she stayed since it is Nicole after all.

"You can stay here...BUT that doesn't mean everything is magically better."

"Waves, thank you so much. I really don't know how you are like this."

"Like what?"

"So kindhearted. I broke our promise and neglected our relationship for all these years and now you're letting me stay here."

I didn't really know what to say to that, I just kept looking down at my hands. "Well, I have to make sure it's ok with my parents but, you can put your stuff in the guest room for now."

Nicole starts to walk out but turns back to me, "Thanks again Waves, it means more than you know." With that she makes her way to the guest room.

A few minutes passed and I just stay sitting on my bed thinking about everything Nicole had just said. As much as I want to act tough and put up a barrier between Nicole and I after the things she just said and how grateful she seemed I think it's going to be hard to be really mad at her.

My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the front door open and hear someone place their keys on the key hook. Nicole must have heard it too because as I walked out of my room to go downstairs, she was doing the same. I turn to her and tell her to stay up here for now because I think it could be my Mom and I'm about to ask if Nicole can stay here. I take a deep breath and walk down the steps.
