Jeremy came screaming in the room
«AAAAAAHHHHHHH»he hide behind Tyler
«What? Why are you screaming» the latter asked
«A GHOST! »Jeremy screamed
«Where? »
«There! » Jeremy said, pointing to a certain girl
«Oh, her? She's not a ghost, she's the author of this story»Tyler said, nonchalently.
Jeremy looked bluffed «What? But it's been so long. I though she was dead? »
Tyler chuckled «Of course not. But I want to know why it's been so long»
The girl took a microphone (out of nowhere?) and started to talk
«My dear readers...»
«Who is she talking to? » Jeremy asked
«No idea» Tyler shrugged
«I'm really sorry for the time it took to update this story. I hope you'll find the kindness to forgive me. My story is almost over now. I decided to wait to update it so once I start updating, it will be constant. From now on, I will update every week or so. Please, forgive me» *put the microphone away
Tyler smile «It's alright. I understant. But, I'll only forgive you if you make me have sex with Jeremy»
«Wait, WHAT? »

Thanks: I would like to thanks all of my (still) readers. I would also like to thank my precious primavera15 for her amazing work and support. She'll no longer be able to be my beta reader, so here's the deal
I usually speak and write in french, so it's possible that my story contains mistakes
I need to find a new beta reader. Anyone who's up for the task, just tell me :)
Jeremy was washing the dishes. Tyler took him home after the party. Both boys had stayed silence through the drive, only saying goodbye when they reach Jeremy's home. The teen couldn't take the picture of Tyler's face out of his mind when he came into the room back at Caleb's house: the look of pure anger and hatred plastered on his face. If Jeremy had been at Caleb's place, he would probably have shit his pants. Those eyes! I'm glad his anger weren't directed at me. His thought was suddenly interrupted by the looked at the clock: it was 23:15. Who would come at this hour?
«Jeremy, could you go answer the door, please? » his aunt asked from upstairs.
«Yes, Aunt Jenna» He screamed back.
He dried his hand then went answered the door. Immediately, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around him and crushed him in a bone-breaking hug.
«You, dipshit, how come you didn't call me sooner? » the intruder said.
The newcomer let him go and he could see who it was: Bonnie Bennett, his best friend. She looked exactly the same: her hair were black, falling at the middle of her back. Her skin was dark and smooth. She was wearing a yellow jacket with a white shirt underneath and a pair of faded blue jeans ripped at the knees. She was the only friend he had kept from San fransisco. When he moved from there, she was really sad and he hasn't call back since then.
«Bo...Bonnie? What are you doing here? » he asked, stunned.
«Well, your aunt invite me to visit us for a few days» She said, smiling. Then, her face turned serious and she crossed her arms.
«Jeremy, why didn't you call me since you moved here? I though you didn't want to be friends! »
Jeremy scratched the back of his head and guilt was apparent on his face.
«I...I'm really sorry, Bonnie. Since I moved here, my life has been like a rollercoaster. I just didn't find the time to talk...and...and»
The poor boy was searching his words. Actually, no reasons were good enough. He should have called her back.
Bonnie's face softened «Don't worry, I'm here now, and I'm not gonna leave you anytime soon. I'm even going to school with you»
Bonnie was home schooled by her grandmother since her mother went missing and her dad was an alcoholic. So, she has never went to school, except for extracurricular activites, since her grams made arrangement with his old schools.
«You're going to school with me? » he asked
«Yes» she said «My grams called the school and told them I would attempt classes to ''familiarize'' with the programs. So, I'm gonna take a few classes to learn the way of school. » she said, smiling «Now, are you gonna show me around or are we gonna stay at the front door? »
They went inside and he showed her around. After telling his aunt goodnight (and a flow of «thank-you-aunt-Jenna-you're-the-best), they went to Jeremy's room. His room was quite regular : the walls were dark grey with many sketched on them. He has a desk with drawers and a laptop on it. His bedding was beige with grey pillows. His room was also really clean for a boy.
Bonnie sat at the edge of the bed.
«So, I assume that if you haven't call me sooner, you should have a lot of things to tell me. So, spill it, model boy! »
Jeremy chuckled. He sat with her on the edge of the bed and started to tell everything that happened since he moved in Seattle. Once he was done, Bonnie looked at him with sparkling eyes.
«So, this Tyler guy! He seems interesting. » She said, with an hint of ''I know something you don't''
Jeremy blushed «Well, yeah, he's a nice guy. He likes to draw too, and he's good at it. He's a good friend» he said.
Bonnie' smile grew even wider «Jeremy Gilbert, if I didn't knew you, I'd say you have a crush on him. »
Jeremy's eyes widened «Euh...well...I...I think he's handsome and good looking, but...but» he stuttered, than close his mouth.
Did he had a crush on Tyler? Sure, he was nice and all, but to have a crush on him. Then, he thought of his smile, the way his mouth twitch when he laughed, those dark eyes that looked so intensely at him sometime, those strong muscles underneath his shirt...Yes, he had a crush on him.
«I...I do» he said
Bonnie squealed like a fangirl «Oh, Jeremy, that is so cute. Will you tell him? » she asked
Jeremy looked panicked «NO!...I mean, not now. I'm not ready yet.» Plus, what if he don't returned the feeling?
«I will tell him someday, but not yet. » he said
«That's your choice, Jer» she said, with a little disappointment in her voice «However, you'll definitely needs to introduce him. I need to know whom I'm gonna fight for you attention! » she said, throwing a pillow at his face.
That's what Jeremy liked about Bonnie: she never pushed. They passed the rest of the evening talking, Jeremy showed her some sketches he made. He really missed her. When Bonnie said that she was tired of all the travelling, it was 2h00 in the morning. He took her to the guest room and went to bed.
I do have a crush on him. But how should I tell him? And what if he don't like me? I don't even know if he's gay. This is so confusing.
Jeremy drifted to sleep slowly, his though jostling in his head.
Jeremy woke up to the smell of bacon. His eyes slowly opened and his stomach growled.
He dressed himself and get downstairs. His aunt was making eggs and bacon and Bonnie was sitting at the table.
When she saw him, Bonnie smiled «Well, if it isn't Sleeping Beauty who deigns us with his presence» she said smirking
Jenna looked and smile «Hello, Jeremy»
Jeremy grumble and sit at the table «What time is it? »
«It's 9h in the morning» is aunt said
Jeremy hit his head on the table and moaned
«Uh...not enough sleep»
Bonnie chuckled «Of course you have enough sleep, darling. You wouldn't dare let you best friend miss some precious with you»
Jeremy moaned again «How come you're so chirpy in the morning? »
She shrugged «I don't know. I've always be a morning person»
Jeremy raised his head «Well, I'm not. But I'll do an effort for you» he said, smiling.
His aunt put a plate in front of him and he started eating. With his stomach full, he felt a little better. He took his plate to the sink and stated washing the dishes. Bonnie stood up and came help him.
«So, what are we going to do today? » the dark girl asked.
«Well, I don't know. Maybe we could go to the mall? »
«Sure, why not? »
They finished washing the dishes and Bonnie went upstairs to get prepared. Jeremy went to his room. He took his cell phone and saw he had a text from Tyler
Hi, what r u doint 2day ?
I'm going to the mall with a friend
He waited a little until his phone ringed
Oh, ok. Have a nice day.
Jeremy bit his lip
Do you want to come with us ?
I don't know...will your friend be ok with it ?
Jeremy looked at the bathroom door and smile. He texted back
Of course she'll be ok with that
Alraigh then, when?
Jeremy's heart fluttered
In an hour ?
Fine, see you soon
Jeremy smiled and went to Bonnie who was now asking him to help her with her choice of clothes.
Author's note: I'm soooo sorry for the long wait. I have lost my computer (it was stole), school was hell and I lost the motivation to write. After reading my story and the reviews a few months ago, I decided to continue it. However, I decided to finish (or almost) the story before updating it. So, here's the next chapter. Thanks for your support folks.
