Thanks to the people who reviewed. Here's chapter 2, enjoy.
Chapter 2
I was able to stop focusing on Christy, and think about Jeff. I was so excited for this date for some reason, even though I had just met the guy. There was just something about him…something that made me feel pretty. After all, he had found my necklace. What's not to like? Aside from his gorgeousness, he was amazing.
I looked at my phone and hoped that he'd call, but I couldn't wait that long. If only I had his number…then I would be the one calling him, obviously. There was nothing to do that would make time pass by, so I impatiently waited.
"Billie!" Someone called me from downstairs.
"WHAT!" I snapped.
Paige orbed into my room with a smirk on her face.
"What's up with you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just bored and I want Jeff to call…or at least text me. Guys should be able to tell that—"
"Jeff? Did I miss something?" Paige looked at me with a confused expression on her face.
"Oh…yeah…Jeff is the most amazing guy! I met him today, and he asked me out and the date is tonight—we're going to dinner I guess. I don't know where he's taking me, but he's a model so it might be fancy. Or it might not be anything special at all, but I don't know." I realized that I was babbling and I only did that when I was nervous.
"Wow. Be careful with him. I mean, you just met him today so you don't really know him."
"That's the thing. I feel like I know everything about him." I frowned at her reaction. I expected her to be happy for me like Piper was…only Piper was pre-occupied when I told her anyway.
"But do you? Sweetie, you don't know someone as soon as you meet them."
"Paige. Just don't. I was having a good day then you came along—"
Suddenly my phone finally started ringing, I reached for it but Paige beat me to it.
"Hello? Oh hi Jeff. This is Paige."
I didn't think what she was doing was funny.
"Paige, stop."
She made a guilty face and handed me the phone. I felt kind of broken inside, but I did my best not to show it.
Me: Hey.
Him: Hey, who was that.
Me: Just someone who I thought was my friend. No big deal.
Him: Okay…so for tonight, what do you wanna do? We could just hang out now, and then go to dinner.
Me: Yeah.
Him: So can I come there?
Me: Of course!
I hung up the phone and looked at Paige again.
"Billie, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were that serious about him."
"You didn't think I was that serious?"
"You're young! You don't need any of this."
"I'm 21! I have a driver's license, I'm legal to drink, and I'm not a virgin. So I've done it all and maybe I don't need this stuff, but I sure as hell want it." I didn't even realize that I was yelling, but it really seemed to hurt her. She probably didn't mean any of what she said the way it came out. "Paige—"
"I'll just go." She rolled her eyes and left the room. She walked down the stairs and I ran after her. I wanted to take it all back; I loved Paige like a sister.
"Paige. Stop!"
She swung open the door and there stood Jeff with his hand up getting ready to knock.
"Uh…Paige, right?"
"Yeah…I don't think you should go out with her." She whispered probably not meaning for me to hear.
I felt irritated, and sad. She was supposed to be my best friend. "Maybe she's right. Maybe you shouldn't go out with me." I quietly said. I walked away towards the kitchen not really caring about anything anymore. I looked back once to find that he had pushed her out of the way and was following me.
"No, no, no, no, no! Wait. I don't care what she says. I wanna go out with you."
"You should listen to her! I'm a bitch. I was so…so mean to her." I started hysterically crying. "No one ever liked me anyway…"
He wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest. "Well I like you. Does that count for anything?" He rested his chin on the top of my head and hugged me until the only thing I hear was the beating of his heart. I loved the sound of it, and the smell of him. We stayed that way for a long time.
A/N: Personally, I like the end of this chapter, lol. Please revieww :D
