"merry fucking Christmas red," Craig greeted dryly as he lifted his middle finger. I steeped out of the snow and into his warm little house.
"happy holidays," I replied, shrugging off his impoliteness. My family is odd. Thank god I only have to visit my cousins on holidays. Ruby was sitting on the couch watching TV, as usual. I plopped down beside her.
"whatcha watchin' squirt?" I asked causally. I changed a lot since elementary school. Bebe and Wendy ditched our little group in our freshmen year of high school. Eversinse then Annie became the gossip girl (I tend to not tell her anything because of that) and Millie is the shy and sweet one. I somehow turned into the loud-mouth, uncaring, punker of the group. I guess when things started to change I started to either be myself, or maybe I even changed a little myself.
"not red racer," she replied sticking her tongue out at craig. In return, he flipped her off. You gotta love family time. I felt my leg vibrate, distracting me from whatever-the-hell we were watching. I pulled out my phone and quickly flipped it open. It was a text message from millie.
Red, I need 2 talk 2 u right now... meet me starks pond
-milly
I didnt even hesitate. I got up quickly, told everyone bye and got in my rusty pick up truck.
I wonder what happened. Did she get hurt? Raped? Who wouldnt ant to rape someone a pretty as her anyway? Did I just actually think that? The fuck is wrong with me? Somany thoughts started rushing through my head. They were driving me insane
I finnaly arrived there. Millie was tossing stones into the pond. She must've heard my foot steeps because she turned and faced me. Tears were streaming from her eyes.
She got up instantly, her arms spread out wide. She was runing to me...then..then she... practly fell into my arms. I could hear the sniffles escaping her mouth. Her tears were soaking my shirt but I didn't care.
"what's wrong?" I asked softly. She remained silent."Mill?" I tried. Still no response. I cupped her head in my hand carefully. "Millie, I think you have a lot to say, and I would like to hear it." I stated honestly. Suddenly, her arms were around my neck, and her lips were gently pressed to mine. When she broke the kiss she whispered," Rebecca, I love you." my face heated up.
"I love you too."
