"Done!" Ethan said as he closed my laptop. "The report is done. It sucks, but it's done."
I giggled as I layed back onto my bed. He jumped on top of me and I screamed.
"You jerk." I said laughing. He leaned down and kissed me.
"Wait." I said, turning my head.
"What?" He asked.
"I've been thinking about this a lot. About us." I said.
"Okay. . ." He said sitting up.
"You and Joanie like JUST broke up." I said.
"I know." He sighed.
"So, is this wrong?" I asked.
"No. . ." He said.
"She's my best friend, Ethan." I said.
"So, she probably met someone this summer." He said.
"She comes back tomorrow." I said.
"We'll tell her at Jason's party tomorrow." He said. "Everything will be fine."
"She was so heart broken when you broke up with her." I said.
"Hey! She broke up with ME." He said. "If she is heart broken, it's her own fault."
I sighed.
"Everything will be fine." He said again.
"I hope you're right." I said.
"I AM right." He said smiling as he jumped back on top of me tickling me.
20 comments:
"What is all this comotion?" My mom said, and opened the door. Ethan flew off of me.
"Young lady!" She scolded. "You know the open door rule when boys are over!" She proped open the door, and I tried not to giggle. Ethan looked embarassed.
"She gave me a dirty look." Dinner is readin in five. You better be downstairs." She said.
"Fine." I said. She left.
"I better go." Ethan said, and stood up.
"Wait! Not so fast Mister!" I said, and pulled him back down on the bed. I kissed him one more time before he left. I sighed as I walked to the bathroom to wash my hands before dinner. I really liked Ethan a lot. I couldn't stop thinking about him, and his smile. I felt guilty about being with him, but I couldn't imagine not being with him. I just had to hope Joanie was okay with it. I washed my hands, and stared at my face in the mirrior. I made a mental note to pluck my eyebrows and use my face mask that night.
"DINNER!" My mom shouted. I went downstairs to the kitchen.
I got the table and sat down accross from my dad. My mom was bringing the food to the table. She seemed a bit angry.
"Please stop letting boy in your room wtih the door closed. How many times do I have to tell you that." she said angerly.
My dad looked at me with disappointment.
"Sorry, dad. I just wanted a little privacy. You guys don't need to hear everything we talk about." I said nicely and gave him my innocent smile. The one smile he can never be mad at.
"So, this Ethan guy. Is he a good guy?" Daddy said.
"Yes dad, I really like him. He is so sweet." I said.
"That's good to hear." Daddy said.
All through dinner we talked about Ethan. We also couldn't get through dinner without my mom giving me the sex talk. She gave me the same talk everyday.
When dinner was over, I went up to my room and my phone rang.
"Lizzy!" Joanie screamed as soon as I answered the phone.
"Joanie!" I said excitedly.
We both laughed.
"I am so glad to be back." She said. "I missed all of you so much!"
"We missed you too." I told her.
"I realized so many things too." She said.
"Oh yeah?" I asked.
"You have no freakin' clue how much I missed Ethan." She said.
"Oh."
"I know, I know. Don't give me the Ethan lecture again." She said.
"I wasn't going to." I giggled.
"Maybe he's grown up." She said.
"It's only been three months, Joan." I said.
"So." She said. "What are you dating him now?"
"Yeah right." I laughed.
She laughed. "I still love him, Liz. Pretty dumb of me, hu?"
"No, it's not dumb at all. . ." I said. "Are you busy right now? I need to talk to you about something."
"No, Billy!" She shouted to her brother. She started yelling at him about a mess he was making or something. "I gotta go. See you at Jay's." She hung up.
"Great. Just great." I said. I looked at myself in the mirror. "You make THE worst decisions." I told my reflection.
My phone wrang again, and I answered it. It was Ethan.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." I answered.
"What is it?" He asked.
"We can't do this. I mean, Joanie is my best friend." I said. He sighed.
"She broke up with me. Remember? After she kissed Chris. I think this is okay." He said.
"She said she still loves you." I told him.
"No she doesn't. We were never that serious." He said.
"You dated for two years!" I shouted.
"Lizzy. I'm happy with you. I'd never get back together with her. I always liked you anyway." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"I always liked you. But I didn't meet you until after I started dating Joanie." He said. I didn't know what to say.
"Come on, tomorrow is Jay's party. We'll all talk and it will be cool." He said.
"I hope so." I told him.
"So, can I sneak over tonight?" He asked.
"NO!" I shouted, trying not to laugh.
"Please?" He asked.
"NO!" I said again, this time laughing.
"I'm so sneaking over toniht." He said, and hung up.
"OH great!" I said to myself, laughing.
Later that night, I lied in my bed listening to some soft alternative music on my mix cd. I would always draw pictures that made no sense to others but had a deeper meaning in them to me. Doing this and listening to music helped to make me feel relaxed. This whole dilema kept running through my head; two sides of me just arguing back and forth. One would be saying, "You can't do this to Joanie. She still has feelings for him and it would be wrong to just take away someone from her life that put in a great meaning, especially since it lasted two years." The other half saying, "Just follow your heart. You can't help the way you feel, and if Joanie is your best friend, she would understand that. SHE is the one who broke up with HIM anyways..." In the middle of my arguement with myself, I heard a little tap that came from my window. I turned down my music but heard nothing. I ignored it the first time but then I heard it again. Walking towards the window a little scared, I opened my curtain and saw nothing but darkness from the night. Out of nowhere, Ethan popped out. I squealed a little from the fright. I opened my window just a enough to hear him.
"You scared the hell out of me!" I said.
"Shhhh! Your mom is going to hear. I told you I would sneak over."
I opened the window more so that he could sneak in.
The moment he was finally in my room, he pulled out a flower he was holding behind his back and gave me a kiss that just blew away all my thoughts from before.
We layed in my bed for hours just talking.
"I ran into Joanie earlier." He said.
"What?" I asked. Why hadn't he brought this up sooner?
"At the Jewel." He said. "We're having dinner tomorrow to talk. She said she had something important to talk to me about."
"Oh. . ." I said.
"I don't know what I'm gonna say." He said.
"We can't do this." I said jumping up. "It's so wrong on so many levels. She really loves you, Ethan."
He sighed. "Okay."
"That's it? Just okay?" I asked.
"No, not just okay. But everytime it's brought up you say we can't do this. It's a little frustrating, thats all." He said.
"Frustrating?" I asked, annoyed. "Fine, what do you think about this whole thing?" He just shrugged.
"I just know what I think about you." He said. He was turning on his charm.
"Go and talk to Joanie tomorrow. See what she has to say." I told him, already knowing what she was going to tell him. "Don't tell her about us, just say you met someone else. See how she reacts."
"Why can't I just tell her I've been seeing you?" He asked.
"Ethan, come on! Just see what happens, okay?" I asked.
"Fine." He said.
"Thank you." I told him, and kissed his cheek. He tried to get more, but I just pressed my finger to his lips.
"See what she says." I told him, and he rolled his eyes. I hugged him then told him he should probably go. He just looked annoyed and left back out the window. I was wide awake, and went back to drawing. My cell phone buzzed, and I jumped. I had a text. I picked up my phone and read it. "I love you." It said, from Ethan. I smiled, despite my mixed feelings. I didn't write anything back. I needed to see how things played out with Joanie before I got too attached to him...if it wasn't too late for that.
I woke up at noon the next day. It is 4 hours until the dinner with Joanie. I still wasn't sure how I was going to tell her or if even was going to. I could feel my stomach starting to ache, so I went down stairs to grab and snack and then went right back to my room. My phone rang. It was Ethan. I stared at the phone for a little while, letting it ring and ring until it went to my voicemail. Immediatey after, I got a text from him say, "I need to talk to you."
A half hour went by and I finally called him back.
"Hey Lizzy! Where were you?" Ethan said with frustration.
"Calm down, I was sleeping, did you talk to Joanie?" I asked.
"Yes, I did. She was upset when I told her I was with someone else. She asked me who it was and when I didn't tell her, she started guessing. Lizzy, she knows!"
I sat in silence on the phone with Ethan. I didn't even know what to say. I was more caught up in thinking of what Joanie was going to say to me, or what was going to happen. Is she mad at me? Is this going to influence are frienship in a bad way? Should I talk to her now or later, or should I wait for her to come to me..."
"You still there?" Ethan said.
Getting back to reality, I responded.
"Yea sorry. So was that it? What did she say after she found out?"
"Well, it was an awkward silence after that and she told me she had to go. Lizzy, I really think you should talk to her about this. She's heard it from me, but I think it would be better for you to just come out and tell her. I mean, you want to be with me don't you?"
I felt like I was just under unfair pressure; like I had to make a decision now when really, I didn't have the answer yet.
"Ethan, I really like you. I want to be with you, but I think I need to talk to Joanie. Please, just give me time." I said.
"Fine. Just do what you need to. Are you still going to the party at Jay's?" asked Ethan.
"Yea probably."
"Okay cool. Well I'm going to get going. Love you Joanie. Don't stress out over this too much."
I thought to myself saying, chyea, like that was going to happen.
"I won't..." I lied. And we hung up.
That's it. I need to talk to Joanie whether this turns out good, or into big mess.
I took a shower and got dressed. I put my hair back in a tiny bun and rushed to Joanie's house. My heart was racing. I had no idea what I was going to say to her. I was out of breath when I reached her doorstep. I knocked on the door as I tried to catch my breath. No answer. I knocked again and the door flew open. Joanie's Mom was standing there with an evil look on her face.
"She's in her bedroom." She told me.
I nodded and she opened the door wider. I walked in and made my way up the stairs. I knocked on her bedroom door lightly.
"I said I don't wanna talk!" Joanie shouted over her music.
"It's Me." I said loudly.
I heard the music get quieter. She opened the door. Her eyes were red and puffy. So were her cheeks. She looked like she had been crying for days.
"I am so sorry." I said. I felt a lump in my throat and took a deep breath. I didn't want to start crying.
She shrugged and forced out a smile. "No, you're not." She said wiping her nose with her sleeve.
"I am." I said. "And I'm not going to see him again."
"Yeah right."
"You mean more to me than a stupid summer romance." I said.
"Romance?"
"More like a fling." I said. "I guess. . ."
She just stared at me.
"I don't know what it is, what it was. . ." I tried to explain. "But you are way more important to me, Joan."
She sat down on her bed and I sat next to her. "I swear curiosity just puts you in a hole full of shit."
I looked at her. The hurt in her eyes crushed me.
"You liar." She said.
"What? I'm not, I swear!" I insisted.
"Ethan is totaly in love with you." She said.
"He is not." I told her.
"He is. And this was more than a fling, admit it." She said.
"It's not." I told her, and she just stared at me.
"Okay, it was. But I'd give it up if I could make you feel better." I told her.
"I can't believe you stole my boyfriend." She said, turning away from me so she could stare at the floor better.
"Joanie, I didn't steal your boyfriend. You broke up with him."
"I KNOW! Everyone breaks up over the summer! Especially if you are going on a trip. Then when you get back you get back together." She said it like I had no clue how relationships work.
"That is rediculous." I told her.
"I know it's stupid. I knew it was stupid as soon as I broke up with him. I wasn't expecting you to move in." She said.
"I'll end it, I promise." I told her.
"Fine." She said. I ignored the tone in her voice that said she didn't believe me.
Fast forward to the party at Jay's. Not too much happened until then...
I was running late and hoped the outfit I picked at the last minute was cute. Actually, I was nervous. My plan was to break up with Ethan at the party. I hoped maybe then Joanie and I could hang out and have a better time. My heart was beating so fast and every thing I rehearsed in my head sounded like crap. I pulled in front of Jay's house and parked. I saw Ethan's car, and sighed. Joanie's wasn't there yet.
"Liz!" Jay shouted, when he saw me walk in.
"Ethan?" I asked him.
"He's in the back." Jay answered. I walked into the back yard, found Ethan, and pulled him inside.
"Is everything okay? Did you talk to her?" He asked.
"Yes." I told him, and ducked into a bedroom.
"Well, is she okay with us?" He asked.
"No. Ethan, we can't see each other anymore." I told him.
"What?" He asked.
"Come on, admit it. It was just a dumb fling." I told him.
"No it wasn't. We seriously have something here Liz." He said.
"No we don't. I'm sorry, but I can't do this to Joanie." I told him. He just shook his head, then took me by surprise and kissed me. I pulled away, and glared at him. He just raised his eyebrows like he was trying to say, come on you didn't feel anything? I tried to say something, but I couldn't. I really did feel something with Ethan. I wanted to cry. I ran out of the room, and right into Joanie.
"What were you two doing in there?" She asked suspiciously when she saw Ethan step out of the room.
"Breaking up." I told her.
"We didn't break up!" Ethan said.
"Yes we did!" I shouted. Everyone in the house looked at me.
"I'm dating Seth now!" I shouted, grabbed Seth's hand, and walked outside, dragging him along.
"What is going on?" Seth asked.
"Just pretend We're dating." I told him.
"I don't date anyone." He said.
"And I said PRETEND!" I shouted, and he jumped. I couldn't help but laugh a little bit. I looked inside, and Joanie and Ehtan were talking. It looked like everyone else had forgotten about what just happened. Seth sat down in a chair, and I went to sit next to him.
"I don't think so." He said, and pulled me into his lap.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Hey, you made me pretend date you, so I'm making the most out of it." He told me, then took a sip of his drink. I just sighed. I looked up and I saw Ethan take Joanie's hand and walk out front. I almost wished Jay didn't have a sliding glass door. I didn't want to see them walk off together. The door opened and a few people walked out. Someone handed me a beer, and I chugged half of it.
"Whoa, slow down." Seth said.
"I need it." I said, and drank the rest. I never drank, so I figured this would be interesting.
"I need another drink. Someone get me another," I shouted.
"What is going on with you." Seth said.
"I don't want to talk about it." I snapped. "Am I going to have to get another drink myself?" I yelled.
Just then, Jay came out with a couple of beers in his hand. I jumped up and took one of them. Jay looked at me very strangly and turned to Seth and pointed at me.
"What's up with her." Jay asked.
Seth shrugged, "I don't know, I'm just her boyfriend,"
Jay made a weird face at him and walked away.
"You dork! Why would you say that?" I shouted as I took the last gulp of my beer.
"What, are we not still pretend dating?" Seth asked sarcastically. I glared at him then glanced at the sliding door and saw Ethan was coming out here.
Our eyes met as he started opening the door.
I sat back on Seth's lap and turned to him, "Kiss me."
"Huh? what? why?" Seth looked over at the door.
"You want Ethan to see us kiss? I thought Ethan was with Joanie. Oh, I get it. Ethan likes you?" He said as though all the pieces were coming together.
I looked over to see if Ethan was near. He was standing right in front of me.
"We need to talk. Can you come over here with me?" Ethan said.
"There's nothing to say." I said.
"Just come over here. I need to talk to you." He said with frustration.
I stood up and looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I don't want to be with you so get away from me. You should be with Joanie right now. "
Seth got up. "I'm gonna go get a drink. See you later." He headed toward the house.
Ethan took me in his arms and kissed me. I tryed to push him away and he pulled me closer. I felt so happy and angry at the same time. I had so many thoughts passing through my head. I loved him so much. All I wanted was to be with him. What was I going to do about Joanie? She would never forgive me if I stayed with him, but this felt so right.
"I told Joanie that I wasn't going to get back together with her and that I didn't have any feelings for her anymore. She was really upset, but she needed to hear it." He said.
His words never felt so meaningful to me. All the things he was doing just to be with me. By now, my head was spinning from all the drinks I chugged but the feeling felt so good. I just did not care anymore. Being in Ethan's arms and feeling Ethan's kiss made me feel so helpless. Then again, I was already feeling helpless from all the drinks. I gave in. I pulled him close and kissed him passionately. Then I took his hand and dragged him with me.
"Where are we going?" Ethan asked.
"To my car so we can be alone." I said.
"Weren't you just telling me to get away a minute ago?" Ethan asked.
"Do you want to come or not?!" I asked with a little giggle.
I was stumbling over myself trying to get to my car. Before we got in, I chugged the drink I had in my hand that I was spilling everywhere. We went into the backseat and when we were finally in, I pushed him down and made out with him. I could not control myself. In my head, I knew everything that was happening. I knew that everything that was going on was no good at all but I could not stop. I've been wanting to be with him so long, and he was right there. Then Ethan pushed me back a little.
"Woah, hold on... Are you okay? I mean... this is great and all but..."
"But what?" I asked kind of frustrated.
"You are just confusing me. And your here drunk. And I don't want you doing something and finding out the next day that it wasn't what you wanted."
It took me some time to process what he said.
I knew Ethan wasn't like most guys, being just in it to win it. He really did like me if he was actually caring about what I was doing.
Just then my friend Amber opened the door. The car light turned on and blinded me and Ethan. She pulled me out and said she needed to talk to me. I followed her out. Amber was one of my friends that I grew up with. She was always there for me even if I needed her at two o' clock in the morning. My appearance looked really bad. My hair was all messed up and my shirt was crooked.
"Amber, you saved me! My hero." I said stupidly drunk.
"Lizzy, you have to stop. You are so gone right now and you aren't seeing what you are doing."
"He's so amazing Amber." I said.
"Yes but what about Joanie?" She asked.
"She is already hating me. I tried to talk to her, and she didn't even listen." I said.
"Lizzy, listen to me. You do not want to lose Joanie as a friend. I know you like Ethan, and I know you and Joanie are awesome friends. I can't tell you what the right thing to do is. But I do know that being drunk is not going to make it easier. Don't be doing something stupid and think it will all be okay tomorrow."
I looked at her and knew she was right.
She guided me back into the house with her arm around me.
"Kevin?" She called out.
I closed my eyes and rested my head on her shoulder.
"Hey." I heard Kevin say.
"You ready to go home?" She asked him. "She needs to get to bed."
That was the last thing I remembered from that night. I woke up in Kevin's bed and my head was pounding. I closed my eyes and threw the covers over my head. I heard the bedroom door open slowly.
I peaked out from under the covers. Kevin was tip toeing around his room. I sighed and he looked at me. "Morning." He said softly.
I just smiled.
"Here." He said handing me a towel. "You can take a shower. I'll have some water and toast ready for you when you get out. Amber had to go into work, but you can borrow any of her clothes."
"Thanks." I said.
I got up and went to the bathroom. I threw up as soon as I reached the toilet. I then took a long warm shower. I felt a lot better after that. I went to Amber's room and dug through her drawers. I put on a pair of her sweat pants and a t-shirt.
I went back to the living room and Kevin was laying on the couch watching TV. He jumped up right away when he saw me. "Sit." He said pointing to the couch. I giggled and sat down right where he told me to. He came back with two peices of toast and a big glass of water.
"Thanks." I said.
"No sweat." He said. "And I can take you home whenever."
"Okay."
"So, Ethan hu?" He asked.
I just nodded as I took a small bite of toast. "Well, kinda. . ." I said.
"He's a nice guy and all, but I think you could do a lot better than him. Any guy who could be in a serious two year relationship with someone and then go after their best friend sure has a lot of guts. It's just not cool." He said.
"I know."
"Just my opinion." He shrugged.
"I think I'll just have to avoid his calls for a while." I said. "Joanie is too important to me."
He nodded. "Most definatly."
"Should I call her?" I asked.
"That's probably a good idea." He said.
"Mind driving me to my car first?"
"Absolutely. Come on." He said.
Kevin dropped me off at my car and I got in and drove home. When I pulled into the drive way, I was glad nobody was home. I didn't want to hear it about not coming home the night before. When I got up to my room I picked up my phone and called Joanie.
"What?" She asked.
"Joanie, I'm sorry. I'm not seeing Ethan anymore." I told her, even though saying it hurt.
"I know." She said.
"What?" I asked.
"I know. He came over last night after the party. We're back together." She said.
"What?" I shouted.
"Did you sleep with him?" She asked.
"No." I said, still taken aback from the fact that Ethan was kissing me only hours before, and now he was back with Joanie.
"Good." She said. "Are you still there?"
"Huh? Yeah, sorry." I told her.
"Do you want to see a movie or something later?" She asked.
"Um, maybe another day. I have to...to...Help my mom in the garden." I lied.
"Okay. Well, I gotta go. Ethan and I are going to lunch." She said, and hung up. I wasn't sure what to think.
I know I should have been so happy to hear that Joanie was back with Ethan. She was so happy. I couldn't help but feel sad. How could he move on so quickly after last night? He seemed so into me. Why would Joanie even take him back after what he did? My head was still pounding so I went to the kitchen to get some kool aid. It always made me feel better after a night of drinking. I went to my room and turned the t.v. on. Four hours later, I woke up to knocking at my bedroom door.
"Liz, you there?" My mom shouted.
"Yes mom." I yelled back.
"Where were you last night? I waited up for you until 2am. I was worried. Could you open the door?"
"Yes mom, I know." I said as I opened the door. "I was with Joanie. She just got back from vacation."
"Alright, next time call me." She said as she walked away.
I went back to bed and looked at the t.v. The Real World was on. One of my favorite shows and I still couldn't get my mind off Ethan and Joanie together. I picked up my sketchbook and pencil and started drawing. As I was drawing my tears just started pouring out of me. I promised myself to never date a friend's ex again. I had forgotten what made me do it in the first place. I took all feelings out on my drawing.
"Still nothing." I said to myself.
After looking at my phone, I threw it on the floor. I kept looking at it every twenty minutes thinking that maybe I have recieved a message from Ethan or a missed phone call, something. How could he just move on in less than a day and not even tell me one thing about it? That one thought just hovered in my mind and would not go away. It was five in the afternoon, and I had been letting myself be chained up inside the house. I got my keys and decided to get out. This was the perfect time to go out and get ice cream because that is exactly what I needed to stop my laments. As I started driving, I turned on the radio; it seemed like every other song related to my situation in some way and it just depressed me more. Of course, the depressing songs always play whenever I have problems on my mind. When I got to the Coldstone down the street, I noticed Ethan's car parked outside a restaurant that was right next door. I kept wondering if Joanie was there with him.
I quickly got my ice cream and drove to the park down the street from my house. I layed back in the grass and stared at the sky.
"Hey, stranger." I heard a deep voice say. I turned. "Oh my god." I giggled.
"What? No hug?" He asked. "Too good for me now?"
I stood up and wrapped my arms around him. It was Kip Snow. We dated for two years in high school, then he moved. I couldn't beleive he was there!
"You never called me, you assface." I said.
He laughed. "You never called me."
"I didn't have your number, numbnuts." I said.
"Well, you should have looked me up, shithead." He said.
I started laughing really hard. He took my ice cream cone out of my hand and took a big bite out of it.
"Hey!" I said. I couldn't stop laughing. He took another big bite out of it and held it out in front of him. "You can have it." I said.
"Really? Thanks. You're so kind." He said.
I couldn't get over how great Kip looked. He was thinner than before, yet his face was slightly rounder. He looked really cute. He was dressed kind of dorky, but I liked it. He was wearing long black shorts with a white button up shirt and a Marvin The Martian tie. "You still wear those damn shoes?" I asked when I looked down and noticed he was wearing his old dirty dark blue Converse.
"Like I could ever get rid of these." He said.
"Are you back for good?" I asked.
"Afraid not." He said. "Just for a couple weeks. You wanna come over and watch movies with me tonight?"
I gave him a strange look.
"Come on." He said.
I shrugged.
"Please? I'm suddenly really missing my little Lizard right now." He said.
"Don't call me Lizard." I giggled. "And I'm not that little anymore."
"Yes you are." He said smiling.
I sighed.
"Guess I should have known." He said. "You've got a whole new life now. Probably ten times better than mine. . . I'll see ya." He said. I watched him walk down the sidewalk in the middle of the park.
"Dangit." I said to myself. I started walking back towards my car, then stopped. I looked back at Kip.
"HEY KIP!" I shouted. He turned around and looked at me.
"WAIT UP!" I yelled, and ran to him. He laughed and we walked to his car.
"I can't believe you are back." I told him as I buckled my seatbelt.
"Yeah, me either. My brother is getting married, and I'm in the wedding. I told him I'd stay with him and his fiance for a few weeks to help them get ready."
"How cool! Which brother?" I asked.
"Which one do you think?"
"Adam?"
"Yup. We havn't heard from Steve in months." He said.
"Really? He was so smart." I muttered.
"Yeah, I know. He's an idiot now. But enough of that! What are you up to? And why do you look so down?" he asked. I sighed, and told him about Ethan and Joan.
"ETHAN? I leave and you date ETHAN?" Kip said, looking horrified.
"Oh shut up! He's a cool guy." I told him.
"Not as cool as me. And I hate Joan, so don't let her get to you." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Oh come on, her and I never got along, you know that." He said.
"Anyway, that's why I look so down. But to be honest, you have brightened my day a little bit." I told him, and he smiled.
"Thank you. Well, here we are." He said. He pulled into a driveway and parked.
"Dude! Wait until Adam see's you." He said.
I followed Kip into the house kind of nervous but excited at the same time. Adam walked out of the kitchen and saw Kip and I standing there.
"Is that Lizard?!" Adam asked with a surprised tone in his voice.
"I can't believe both of you still call me Lizard..." I said shaking my head.
He smiled, "Wow! It's been awhile! How did Kip find you?"
"I was walking, and I saw her laying in the park," interupted Kip.
"That's pretty random, but cool. What are you guys up to now?" asked Adam.
"We are just gonna catch up and watch a movie in the room." Kip said.
"Watch a movie in the room, huh? Sounds fun," Adam said with a sense that we would be up to no good. Adam was always cool with us hanging out alone though. I was always his favorite out of Kip's girlfriends.
After Adam walked away, Kip and I walked over to the back room. I sat down on the couch that was very familiar. Back when Kip and I were going out, we made a lot of memories on this couch, starting from the first time I went to his house to the times we had some arguements. He walked by and sat next to me.
