I woke up and felt someone next to me. I was confused, but everything from the night before started coming back to me. I turned and realized that Greg was sleeping. He looked so peaceful andcute that it was sorta unreal. I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up. It was gonna be hard cause Greg had one arm under me and one around my waist. Also, I realized that we were holding hans. I smiled an decided not to get up, as not to wake him. I turned the TV on to watch cartoons. Yes, I was 15, but I loved watching cartoons, especally "Hey rnold." After about half an hour "Hey Arnold" ended and "Spong Bob SquarePants" started. I rolled my eyes and changed thechannel. I HATED "Sponge Bob." I turned around to see if Greg was awake, to my surprise he was. "Morning sleepy head" I said as I ruffled his hair "Morning" Was all he said before he yawned. "How long have you been up?" I asked noticing that he looked pretty awake "Oh I woke up right after the first commercial" He replied smiling "And you forgot to inform me?" I asked sarcastically "No, I just like the show, and you look cute when you watch cartoons" He replied truthfully "I guess we fell asleep during the movie" I said knowingly, considering the position we were in. "Yeah. You fell asleep before me, but you looked so peaceful I didn't have the heart to wake you up" He said and pulled me closer. I realized what was happening and got up quickly. "Where are you going?" He asked as he got up in a sitting position. "This is wrong. We can't be together. Forget anything that happened" I replied as I headed towards the door. Before I got the chance to open it, he grabbed me by my hand and made me face him. "Why?" Was all he said "Greg, don't you remember what Frankie said last night? Most of all don't you remember what you said at the beach?" I asked sadly. "Yes, I do remember what Frankie said last night, and yes I do remember what I said at the beach." He answered looking me straight in the eyes. "There's your answer" I said as I looked down. He made me look him in the eyes… "You didn't let me finish. As I was saying. Yeah I remember all that, and as for what I said on the beach that was before I got to know you. I wanted to get to know the real you befor I jumped into the whole liking thing, but I'm glad I waited. Cause now I know what a great person you are" He replied and moved in closer. "Yeah what a great person I am, I can't even talk to my brother without having a fight with him" I said truthfully. "So you have a few fights with your brother and you make mistakes. That's what makes you real" He stated "Ok so let me get this straight, you like me?" I asked smiling "Only if you like me, if not this conversation never happened" He replied giving me the same smile "Well Mr.Raposo I like you" I said "Well then Miss. Kennedy I like you too" He said and wrapped his arms arond my waist. He moved in closer and was about to kiss me, but I turned my cheek just to see what he wuold do. He had his eyes closed so he didn't see me do that and ended kissing my cheek. He opened his eyes, just as I started laughing. "Oh what you think this is funny?" He asked and pulled away. I just nodded my head "Well, then you can't kiss me today. How's that for revenge?" He said "I can survive, can you?" I challenged. "Is that a challenge?" He asked raising his eyebrows "Oh yeah" Was all I said before I walked out. Just as I walked Frankie climbed out of his bunk. I hope he didn't see me and Greg. I thought to myself but smiled. "Hey Frankie, about last night" I started but he cut me off "Forget about last night. It's not like you and your boyfriend actually listened. Also, I would appreciate you at least being truthful and not hide behind my back" He said before he stormed off. I sat down in the near bunk which was Jesse's and put my head in my hands. He saw us was all that kept floating through my head. I felt someone put their hand around me, to find out later to be Greg. "What happened?" He asked seeing that I was crying "Nothing. Everything is just peachy. Couldn't be better" I replied "Wait, why are you mad at me?" He asked "I'm not, but we can't be together. Forget everything that happened and forget about me." I said and ran out of the bus. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I couldn't stay on the bus anymore ~Gregs POV~ What just happened? I must have missed something. She was all into the idea of us going out and now she pulls that. Wait did she talk to Frankie when she walked out? Ugh, I gotta catch her. I started running after her but stopped when I came where the other 4 guys were. Frankie looked pissed while Chris, Jesse and Matt looked confused. "Did you guys see Emily?" I asked looking at Chris, Jesse and Matt. I knew not to ask Frankie. "She just ran out. Do you wanna tell us something?" Chris asked looking from me to Frankie. "I dunno what happened but she just ran out" I replied "Maybe if you didn't go with my sister behind my back none of this would have happened" Frankie replied, more like growled. "Look, I like Emily and if I want I can go out with her. That should be decided between the two of us, not you. And Emily is a big girl she doesn't need you to stick up for her" I replied mad. He got up and stood right in my face. He was about my height so height was not a problem. "I said it before and I'll say it again stay AWAY from my sister." He said and started walking away. "Wait? Are you jealous that she actually talks to me and not you? Maybe you hate the fact that she actually stands up to you. Or maybe you actually figured out that she doesn't like you. As a matter of fact she doesn't want ANYTHING to do with you" I replied. I knew the last thing was not true, but I was mad. One thing I wanted and he was ruining it for me. He didn't say anything, except turned around and plunged towards me. He tackled me to the ground and we started wrestling. He threw the first two punches before I threw him on his back and punched him. Chris, Jesse, and Matt came over and pulled us apart. Chris was holding me, while Jesse and Matt held Frankie. I looked at him and couldn't believe that he would act like that. "You know what? The time I spent fighting your sorry ass, I should have been looking for Emily" I said before Chris let go off me, and I went to look for Emily. "Frankie what the hell is your problem?" Chris asked. "Why are you yelling at me? He's the one who started it" Frankie replied "He started it? For gods sake your almost 17 years old, who the hell cares who started it. The point is you threw the first punch" Chris as the other two let him go. "Fine take his side" Frankie said "Were not taking anyone's side. But why can't you just be happy for them, insted of punching your friend and making your sister cry? I thought you were better than that. Guess I was wrong" Jesse said and gave him a disappointed look. "What do you know?" Frankie asked looking at him like his thoughts or ideas didn't count. Jesse just shook his head and laughed. "You may be older and stronger Frankie but when it comes to friends, you sure as hell don't know shit" Matt said as he walked out, followed by Chris and Jesse. "Great just great" Was all Frankie mumbled before he slouched down in a near by chair. He rested his head on his hand and touched his eye. "Damn that hurts" He said and walked over to the bathroom to see how his eye looked. He looked in the mire to see a shiner already forming on his left eye. "Mom's gonna be happy about this" He said to his reflection before taking an ice pack and putting his on now black eye. |
