Emotions
Emily's POV
"Who was that," Paige and I left the party a while ago. Part it was because Paige wanted get out of there and she wanted to see if I wanted to come also which lead to another which was I didn't want to come face to face with Maya.
She turned around with my cell phone still in her hand. She looked panicked for a brief second but her face relaxed soon after giving off a soft smile.
"It was your mom she was just asking where you were at," I looked at her for a second but waved it way.
She handed me back my phone as I took a seat next to her on the couch in the living room. We sat there for while in comfortable silence not really knowing what to say to the other. I mean we swam on the team and played for the same team if you catch my drift, but other that we didn't really have that much in common.
Eventually Paige turned the flat screen on in the room and we started watching The Perfect Host. She moved closer to me as the beginning started playing. I didn't think anything of it until she put her arm around me.
"What are you doing," I ask a little too quickly making both of us jump out of our skins.
"Um sorry I was just," she said removing her arm becoming quite.
I didn't say anything after that all I did was swift my body back toward the movie pretending the suction didn't occur.
While Paige got into the movie, my mind drifted off to a different setting. Back into the party to be more specific; where I watching Maya perform up on stage. When she made eye contact with me I felt my heart skip a beat. When she sang to me it felt everything around me seemed to freeze (though I'm ignoring the part where she sang I don't need you part).
However, now that I think about it whenever I see her I feel like Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She makes me angry, annoyed, disgusted, and pissed off all at the same time. Than another moment I feel nervous, happy, jealous and lightheaded. It was like someone drugged my emotion and causing them to go every which way.
It's ridicules really. I've never meet anyone how made me feel so many different emotions at the same time. It's seriously confusing to be truthfully honest. It's also not like I can talk to anyone about either. My friends all think I'm in love with her which I'm starting to question. My mom doesn't approve of her and she still kind of adjusting to the fact I like girls not boys, I don't want complicate things even more than they are right now.
Ugh! This is giving me a migraine. Slipping out of my spot next to Paige I move to the kitchen not saying anything to the girl. Pulling the fridge door open I grab a pitcher of water and close it only have my heart jump out of chest with a little water slipping when I find Paige standing behind it.
"Fuck, Paige you scared me," I tell her placing my hand over my chest trying to clam myself down.
"Sorry are you okay," she asked crossing her arms over her chest staring me down.
"It's nothing," I lie to her not wanting to explain what was buzzing through my head.
She raised her eyebrow at me watching me as I moved over to the island receiving a cup from the nearby shelf. I try to avoid eye contact knowing what she was trying to do. Although that doesn't last because feeling her eyes' burning themselves into my skull forces me to give up.
"Can I ask you a question," I keep my voice low even though we're the only two in the house.
She nods her head resting her elbows on the kitchen island with an intense look in her eyes. I think about what I want to say for a second but quickly stop realizing I'm putting too much thought into it. Licking my dry lips I push a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Have you ever had someone make you feel all these different confusing feelings? I mean one moment they can make you feel pure hatred than the next they can make you feel completely happy and make you feel like you're the only person in the world," looking up I see nervousness and joy running through her eyes though I just ignore it.
"Um... yeah I think I knew what you mean. They can make feel happy and in love than they next you want to kill them right then and the ere," she moved a little closer to me but I didn't put any thought into it at the moment.
"Exactly, it just that whenever I'm around this person I feel like that and I don't know how to act on it."
"Well I think you sound listen to what you heart is telling you to do instead of fighting these feelings. Who knows maybe this person may feel the same way about you."
I thought about for a second. Paige was right maybe Maya does like me. I mean ever since she's come here she has seemed to change but one the other hand I did make that bet with her. She may just be doing this so she can get with me. But then again she could have really changed. Fuck, why is love so confusing?
"Em," I snap back out of my thought and looked back toward Paige remembering where I was at and who I was with.
"Yeah sorry I was just thinking."
"About this person we're talking about whose name you have yet to mention?"
"Yeah that person," I tell her feeling sheepish about this whole conversation.
"I think you're right though I should tell this person I like them. Like you said they make like me back."
Without a second thought I through my arms around her neck engulfing Paige into a hug taking her by surprise. With a little hesitation she eventually hugged back pull me close. I pull back only to have my lips caught by hers. It through me offs a bit but I quickly regain myself and push Paige away.
"What the hell Paige we did you kiss me," I shout angrily without really thinking.
"What? I thought that you were talking about me. The person you were talking about earlier, that was me wasn't," she took a step toward me but I moved back.
"No I was talking about Maya."
"Maya, why do you like her she's a huge slut," my brain suddenly went into over mode a upon hearing that.
"Don't call her that," I snap at her even though I know it's true.
"Why not she is one Emily, look if you think she likes you make she doesn't she just wants to get in your pants that all. She could give a shit about you. While Me one the other hand," I cut her off by sending my hand across her check as hard as I could.
It sent everything around us into silence no one dared said anything even though it was only the two of us.
"Don't you ever call her that again you know nothing about her," I point out.
"You don't either," she throw back which was true. I guess she realized that because she smirked and took advantage of this.
"What do you know about her anyway? Do you know where she grows up? What school she went to? When and where she was born? How many siblings she has? If she has any? Her middle name at least? Anything about her," all her questions I just shook my head no to.
I didn't know anything about her. I just know what I know by what I hear over the radio and on those celebrity gossip shows. My head drops down to my feet while I lean back against the table. Neither one of us says anything to the other. We just stand there waiting for the other person would start.
"Look forget Maya just give us a chance we could be like a power couple at school," I didn't say anything instead I just quickly exited out the house and started making my way back to mine.
I had rode to the party in Spencer's car with the girls and left it with Paige in her car. I didn't mind walking though it was a cool night out and just the right temperature to help me think.
I already knew there was a chance Maya is just screwing with my emotions just to get with me. Though hearing it from someone else just makes me more wary of her. Come to think of it I could talk to her friends about it and mine. Maybe they can help get some advice on what to do. But I could also try talking to Maya about it however she could just be lying.
I shake my head trying to forget the whole thing it was starting to give me a head ache. Sighing I continue my way down the street listen to t he crickets chirping and the few cars driving past.
My thought was introspected by car a slowing down next to me. I quickly pick up my pasted knowing perfectly while to stay clear of cars that just suddenly slows down beside you. I cross my arms over my chest ignoring it hoping it will vanish. No such luck, when I peaked from the corner of my I could still see them.
Great, I was about to take off when the window rolled down revealing the girl that was mixing everything up.
"Hey Em do you need a ride," I stop in y tracks and look over at her.
Pressing my lips together I nod my head yes heading over to her dark blue Lux. Jumping inside the car I put my seat belt one and slid back into the car seat. I could feel the car start to move under me as we were on our way.
"Are you okay," she asked me sounding genuine.
"Yeah I'm fine just tried," I lied yet again tonight.
"Oh okay, is that why you left early," she asked me yet another question.
I didn't answer and she did pressure it. Turning my head slightly I looked over at her. The moon casted a perfect light over her face making her look like someone out of a dream. I swore it made my heart melt.
Guess I'll just have to admit it. I'm in love with one of the biggest players in Hollywood and I might just be her next victim.
Okay sorry for the long wait but I don't what I did but I messed up my elbow more it was before (long story) and it was hurting like hell to the point it was deflect to type. It still hurts but my mom is seating an appointment for to get it checked out. I really wanted to get this out though so there might be a lot of be errors because of this. So again I apologize for the long wait for my stupidity for seeing how much I could hurt myself.
