Sorry for the wait. I haven't been on top of my game lately.
Chapter 7
I sighed walking to Reid's room. I stood outside the door for 10 minutes procastinating and decided that chinese food souned better.
"Bailey," I turned seeing Reid coming down the hall.
"Hey, can I talk to you?" I asked
"Go ahead." He said opening his door and entering his room, I followed him.
"Hey, Baby Boy." I said.
"Oh, hi." He said surprised "I'm just gonna...jet." He said before darting out the door.
"Look I know you're probably gonna laugh and not take anything I say seriously, since its what you do. You are Reid." I said nervously.
"You know I can take things seriously." He said.
"Yeah, well. You don't take things seriously when you're mad at the person. And I'm sorry. I just...I missed you." I said
"I'm sorry I missed that last bit can-"
"I said I missed you." I said speaking over him.
"Come here." He said holding his arms out a little, I walked right into his arms looking up at him.
"You know you're my best friend." I said to him.
"Yeah. What would I do without you and Baby Boy?" He asked as I lightly pulled away.
"You'd be more reckless than you already are." I said with a smile.
"I'd probably be addicted." He muttered.
"You haven't been using alot, have you?" I asked concern lacing my tone.
"Don't worry about it." He said as a high pitched voice broke everything, "REEEIID" Oh god. Rachel.
"What is she doing here?" Rachel asked him once she opened the door.
"Shit," He muttered.
"Look, I'm sorry about everything and that I didn't have faith in your relationship with Reid. I realized now that I'm wrong and just sorry...OH and if you break his heart, I'll break your face...again." I said watching her get more and more pissed.
"You're unforgiven. Look at my face." She yelled in a bitter tone.
"I know its very well improved. I should get payed for that shit." I said in a opptimistic voice, is she was going to be a useless bitch. I guess I would have to leave it up to Reid to decide what to do about our so called 'friendship'.
"Bailey, I'll stop by later. I got some stuff to do." Reid said causing me to internally smirk, I knew exactly what that mean. I left the room hearing her whiney protests. I ran back to my room pouding on the door.
"I come bearing good news." I cried, I hear Jessa approaching the door to unlock it, I jumped on her when she opened the door.
"He is so dumping her right now. He said he'd see me later and that he had some stuff to do. He said that right infront of Rachel after I said I thought I had improved her face." I said quickly in excitement.
"Bails, what if that doesn't mean anything?" Jessa asked
"Are you trying to be a kill joy?" I asked
"I just don't want you to get your hopes up, in case its something else. You know." She said
"I guess, but I have a good feeling about this." I said smiling.
After 4 hours of angsty waiting a knock finally came at the door, Jessa left with Baby Boy wishing me good luck. I got up to get the door and opened it. Something I never do, with Reid anyway.
"Since when do you not come in on your own?" I asked
"You could've been naked." He said coming in
"That thought never crossed your mind in the past?" I asked
"It has, I just didn't care enough, then. But I am trying out the whole relationship thing so-"
"You didn't break up with her?" I asked dissapointment shooting through me.
"No. I just told her if she want anything between us, then she needs to get along with my friends." He said and then looked confused. "Was I suppose to break up with her?" He asked
Yes. "No. I just didn't think...never mind." I said looking down at the ground.
"What's going on with you?" Reid asked looking concerned and so maybe I should just let him in. Just a little.
"It just...this doesn't seem like the Reid Garwin I know and I guess I miss you." I said trying not to sound completely hopeless and whiney or just plain needy. Which I was. I needed Reid more than ever and I didn't know how to tell him that or if I even wanted to tell him.
He was smirking at me with his eyes squinted. He started laughing a little.
"Reid, this isn't funny. I'm being serious." I said trying not to sound too snappy.
"Wow. I never expected this." He said shaking his head with a smile.
"Well, I never expected you to have a serious relationship, and that shit backfired in my face." I said instantly regretting it, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and I didn't know why.
"Are you mad that I'm dating her?" He asked slightly surprised, this is that time when I don't be selfish and say yes, now dump her. This is when I was suppose to say no and play the whole thing off but I found myself saying fuck that.
"Yes. I'm ripped shit, I'm jealous, I'm dazed and confused. For the past few weeks I've been bored out of my dome. Will you just break up with her?" I pouted feeling like a little kid begging to go to Disney Land.
"Wholy shit. I had no idea you felt this way. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He asked.
"Because I wanted you to be happy, but I've finally cracked and I can't take this anymore because you're dating a bitch. Who I hate by the way and I already told you I miss you." I said feeling like I was breaking down in the process of what seemed like an ongoing rant. Reid looked out of place and I was hating myself more and more for doing this as time passed.
"Okay how about you and I go to Nicky's like old times and you can calm down. Have a few drinks, play a round of pool and then come back and play Guitar Hero or something." He said bringing me over to the door.
"You don't understand." I said
"Understand what? You're not letting me-" I stopped him and guess how. Yeah all that lust I ever held for Reid Garwin was now being revealed. I had him up against the wall, kissing him like my life depended on it. He seemed hesitant at first but soon responded and was pulling me towards him, after a few seconds he pulled back looking pissed. He stormed out without a word and I felt broken and useless. What was I thinking? Why would Reid Garwin want anything from me but frienship?
