Fourth Chapter. Good one.. I think :)!

That day me and Emily sat in my rooom, on my bed, talking. We talked about a lot of random stuff. Then she asked me a question. "What was your life back in Minnesota?" I didn't want to tell her, I did drugs, I drank while sleeping with random girls every night. I'm not good at opening up. I have to trust them a whole hell of a lot to even tell them I have a problem with girls, and sex. I told Julie because she is my 'mom'. I looked at Emily with a weird look. I was judging on if I should tell her, or If I shouldnt. So I decided to lie to her. I use to lie. Not since I came here. "It was boring. Um, I never had anything to do." I said lying through my teeth. I know I shouldnt lie to something that makes me feel so good, so important. But I did and it's over with. She just looked at me. I hope she couldn't tell that I was lying. We just talked somemore. Then when we ran out of things to say or tell eachother, we played 360. It's a surprise to me that she's never played 'Just Dance'. Best game ever. We danced to it. Then it was time for Emily to go home. Erica came into my room after she left. "I knew you liked her." she said standing in the doorway. "What?" I said, to hide my feelings. "I do not. She's cool to hang out with." I said, trying to sound convincing. She walks over and puts her arm around me, as I sat on my bed. "Just admit it, dude." I looked at her and smiled. I didn't want to admit it. If I did, that would be another thing that would make me vulnerable to the world. "No, I'm not going to, because I don't like her anymore more than I like you or Keith." I said trying to get her off my back. "If you say so." she said getting up and walking toward the door. Before she leaves she says to me, "If you really don't, don't play her. She doesn't deserve that." Erica walks out. I close my door, and lay on my bed looking up at the ceiling, thinking. Soon, I drifted off to sleep.

Saturday morning came. I woke up came downstairs. I must have been the last one up, 'cause when I came downstairs, everybody was eating lunch. "I slept through breakfast?" I asked, grabbing a piece of pizza that Erica had made. "We didn't want to wake you, so we left you sleep." I sat down with everybody else. "What's going on today?" I said looking around the kitchen. It was cleaned. A lot cleaner than what it usually is on a saturday. "My sister, her husband and 3 kids are coming over for a visit." Tom said, taking a drink of his coffee. "Oh, should I leave and come back later?" I asked. "No, sweetie. We want you here. You're part of the family too." When she said that she had this big smile on her face. Tom walked into the living room to watch the 12:00 news. "Besides, I need someone here to keep me company." She whispered to me as she got up and followed Tom into the living room. "Let me guess, your aunt doesn't like your mom?" I said, looking at Erica. "Actually, the whole side of my dads, doesn't like any of us." I was shocked. I couldn't believe what she was saying. How could anyone not like a nice enough family that would take in a drug, alcoholic and sex addict. "Why?" I asked. Erica said in a hush tone, "They don't think we're good enough." Oh was all I could say. "Do they have 16,17 year old daughter?" I asked with a smile on my face. Erica just shook her head. "Yeah, her name is Ashley. She hates me with a passion. Everytime they're here, she trys to make me look like an idiot." I sat there thinking, this could be super fun. A couple hours later, me and Julie were making lunch when Tom's sister came in with her two kids and her husband. They introduced me and they all went into the living room. Ashley was tall, skinny body, tan, with blondish brown hair and green eyes. She wasn't bad looking. She came in and stood next to me. I glanced at her. She was smiling like a 7 year old on christmas day. I asked her what she was looking at, and she said me. That was kinda awkward. I walked over to the sink to get a towel and wipe up the mess me and Julie made, making cookies and lunch. When I turned around she was like three inches from my face. I stared at her. We stood there for a minute just staring at each other. Than Emily and Erica coughed really loud and I pushed Ashley out of the way and walked over to the cookies. Ashley walked past me smiling. She gave Emily a mean face and walked in and sat next to everybody on the couch. "You can't keep it in your pants for a minute can you?" Emily asked. I looked at her. "What do you mean? She came onto me. Thank you for coming when you did." I said putting the food in the stove. "You like flirting with my family and friends?" Erica asked as a joke. "Ha ha. Not very funny, do you want to like go somewhere?" I asked toward Emily. She nodded and me and her walked up to my bedroom. I could hear Tom's sister's husband, Joe, ask Tom, if it was okay for us to go up there. I didn't even wait for a response. When we got to my room, we both layed on the bed. "How are you doing?" I asked her. She looked over at me and smiled and said, "I'm good, what about you?" I sat up and looked down at her. "Perfect, now." I smiled, as she sat up and kissed me. I wanted to let it lead to a make-out, but I know that I shouldn't do that when at any moment, somebody can walk in. And someone did. Ashley. She walked in pertending to be confused about where her room was. I didn't think they were staying here. Was they? When she walked down the hall, I went down stairs and asked Tom and Julie, "Are they staying here?" they looked at eachother and said, "Yes." Great. Now I'm stuck with that crazy girl. She don't even know who I am, and she's trying to be all touchy touchy. I went back to the room and Emily and Erica was playing just dance. "Come on, turn it on three players. Play with us." Emily said. "No, I rather sit here and watch you guys shake your ass." I said, laying on the bed. That night, I called Emily and we sat on the phone with eachother as I watched T.V, she did whatever. "What are you doing?" I asked her. "Sitting here on the phone with you, why?" she asked. "No reason, just wondering." I said. "Oh alright. Think it's weird that we talk like this, and I'm Erica's best friend?" she asked me. "I don't know. She seems okay with it when we go upstairs and make out." I said with a little joke in my voice. "Yeah, we do do that huh?" she said giggling. I laughed, "Yeah, but it's okay. If she didn't like us to talk, than she'll tell us." I added. "Do you like Ashley." she asked. "Hell no, I don't. why would you ask that?" I asked with a nasty face. "You almost kissed her in the kitchen." she replied in a low voice. I could tell this bothered her. "I wouldn't have kissed her." I told her. "Even if she did kiss me. I don't like her. I can promise you that." I said. It was quiet on the phone for a couple minutes. Then I had to make sure she was still there. "You still there?" I asked and she responded quickly. "Yes I'm still here." She said, kinda mumbling. "If your tired.." I tried to say but she interupted. "I'm not tired okay." Emily said it in a harsh mean voice. "Okay, damn. You don't have to be a bitch about it." Then I heared a click. I looked at my phone and she hung up on me. So I went to bed.

The next morning, I woke up with 8 missed calls. They were from Emily. I didn't even call her back. I just went downstairs ate breakfast. After lunch, Erica and I were planning on going to the mall. When we were getting ready to go, Ashley invited herself there. Also, we had to pick up Erica's boyfriend. So soon arrived at the mall. I wouldn't have went, if I would have known that Emily was going to be there. We walked over to her, I kept on walking. As we started walking, I tried to ignore her. But we kept doing stuff that made us talk to eachother. Ashley was getting on my last nerve. She kept rubbing all over me, and talking to me. It was getting very annoying. It kept Emily from talking to me, so that was the only good thing. We ended up going to a moive. After the movie, we drove home. We all ended up on Erica's bedroom floor. Ashley didn't want to lay on the floor. So she laid on the bed. I layed between Erica and Emily. Erica's boyfriend layed on the other side. After the movie I went outside and Emily followed me. "Why didn't you pick up the phone last night?" Emily asked. "'Cause you hung up on me and I fell asleep." I told her. "I didn't hang up on you." she said. "Really, it seemed like you did." I told her. She didn't say anything. She just stood there, staring at me. "Whatever." She mumbled and started to walk away. "Yeah, whatever." I mumbled back, she turned around. "How am I suppose to believe that you like me, when we fight?" she asked. "What does fighting have to do with my feelings for you?" I asked her. She thought for a second. "Because you say mean things to me." I thought of what I said to her. I did call her a bitch. I appologized and she just continued to walk away. I didn't understand why I called her that. I would never in my life, call Emily a bitch. She wasn't a bitch. She was probably the most coolest girl of Erica's friends. I ran after Emily. I caught up to her before she unlocked her car door. "I'm sorry." I said grabbing her arm. Emily turned around and shoved me. "What did I do?" I asked. "Your not aloud to touch me." She said in a harsh voice. It didn't scare me. "I'm not aloud to touch your arm?" I asked smiling. "No your not. You are an asshole." she kinda yelled. I walked up to her to where I was three inches from her face. "I'm not an asshole. I just can't stand you." I walked away. I know I didn't mean that. I love being around Emily. But I just wanted to hurt her feelings. And before I shut the door, I seen her crying as she drove off.
