"Okay," was all John said before it became quiet once again before he broke the silence. "So now what? I mean, where does that leave us?"
Lita shrugged. "I don't know. I really don't know. Like, I'm just so over that whole bet shit and I'm glad we finally talked about it- do something foolish like that again and I will have no other option to kill you- but it's not... it's always going to be there John. I don't... I don't know."
John nodded."You're right, we can't change what happened so it's always gong to be there. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. And you just said you're over it so why are you letting it effect us now?"
"I don't know," was all Lita said as she shook her head.
The brunette stayed silent for a speaking up. "Lita... I want to be with you. Maybe it's a mistake to jump back into it right away because of what happened and what was said after it all-"
"You were kind of harsh these last few days. Like the way you spoke to me and what you said," the redhead cut him off.
The brunette teen nodded. "We both were. I was so angry and I just thought that was the best way to create some distance between us. Like, for you to back off and it would be easier to let it go or something.. I don't know." John shook his head as he got back to his main point. "Look, I don't care if I'm being stupid by straight jumping back into this because of everything these past couple of weeks. I don't want to do the whole 'let's just be friends and see where it goes' bullshit. That's such a waste of time because I know I want to be with you, I don't just want to be your friend, and I know you want the same. Maybe it won't work, maybe it will. Maybe we'll break up in a month, maybe we won't. We won't know that unless we give it a chance." He paused for a brief moment before continuing. "I said it before and I'll say it again because I still mean it, I love you."
Lita didn't say anything as she decided to look away from John at the moment while she thought about everything he just said. She knew she didn't want to do the whole 'friends' thing with him either. She felt exactly the same he just expressed, so what was stopping her? "Nothing," she muttered under her breath.
"What?" John asked. He wasn't able to hear what Lita said, but he heard her say something.
Lita looked over at John and shook her head. "Nothing. Um... you're right. I want to be with you too John. It sounds so funny just saying it because not even a year ago, I wanted to kill you," she said which earned her a chuckle from John. "I never thought I would actually fall in love with you and fall into some sort of funk because of our stupid issues. I never thought I would be that upset because you weren't talking to me because that's like something I wanted many times before. But here we are." She smiled before continuing. "I love you."
"You two are so disgusting," Trish said one morning as she watched her bestfriend and her bestfriend's boyfriend who were standing a few feet away from where she was standing next to Lita's car. "You're going to be gone for only two weeks. Like, just say goodbye so John can get lost and we can the show on he road!"
The redheaded teen rolled her eyes as she looked over at the blonde. "He's only been here for like two minutes. You need to relax."
"Two minutes too long. It only takes one second to say goodbye. He already monopolized enough of your time this last month and let's not forgot the fact that you didn't go to prom and you totally ditched me for him-"
"Wasn't gonna go either way," Lita shook her head with Trish continuing like she hadn't just gotten interrupted.
"-so you owe me-"
"Ugh!" Lita groaned as she cut her friend short. "Are you always going to use that against me?" Trish simply nodded in response. "Well, it stopped working like two weeks ago so get over it. You can't always say 'you didn't go to prom, so clean my room' or something stupid like that. Get over it."
"Damn it. I should've gotten you to pack for me," Trish said only to be ignored by Lita.
"Plus, I'm only stopping by for like five minutes," John began to say as he broke his silence much to Trish's chargin. She had something against him lately which he wasn't too sure about, not that he really cares, but he did find it hilarious. "She's going to be with you for the next two weeks so stop acting so possessive."
Trish didn't say anything for a moment, simply looking away for a moment as she looked back over to John and walked towards him.
"Okay, this is happening?" John tried to take a step back as a way to create some distance between himself and Trish who only closed the distance yet again.
"Listen up here Johnny boy. Lita is my best-friend, okay? You are just a little boy and as one Brooke Davis would say, 'hoes over bros' and in this scenario, you are a bro. I don't care how short or long you last, but I come first, she's mine. The sooner you accept that, the better." She shot a glare the redhead's way when she heard the other teen laughing.
John stayed silent for a while as he thought about what Tristan just said before he completely burst into laughter, joining Lita. "You were right," the brunette said after he and the redhead were able to calm down a bit, "she is even more crazier now that she broke up with Jeff."
Trish scowled at the duo who were back to laughing at her. "I hate you both." She was about to walk away, but stopped as she focused her attention to Lita. "We have to pick up Victoria and Stephanie before we can finally hit the road so if you're not in the car within five minutes, I will leave you."
"I'm pretty sure that's my car we're taking."
Trish shrugged. "Don't care. You're getting on my nerves and John is an asshole so you now have two minutes," she said before sending one dirty look towards John before finally walking away and getting inside the redhead's Jeep.
"Not long ago, she threatened me to speak to you and now she wants to kill me," John said once Trish was out of sight. "There are some few loose screws in that brain of hers."
Lita nodded. "Told you she's crazy," she said before changing the topic. "So what are you up to these next few days?"
John raised a brow. "Is this your way of checking up on me?"
Lita rolled her eyes. "John, just answer the question. It's not that hard."
John shrugged as he began to do just as he was told. "Nothing really. Not a two week road trip that's for sure. But my brothers are home for a while so we'll probably make a trip to Ocean City or something. I don't know. They said they wanted to go somewhere new so we'll see."
"Are you going to behave?"
"And now I know for sure you're checking up on me. Is someone jealous?"
"Shut up. What the hell do I have to be jealous of?"
"I always behave."
The other teen opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when she heard the sound of Trish honking the horn. "It hasn't been like even a minute. I'm going to commit murder in this trip. Yea, I can see it now. Not hard to imagine."
"You sure you wanna do that? I probably won't visit you in prison."
"Well that's mean."
"Just the truth babe."
Lita scowled. "I told you not to call me that. I'm not a pig. You might be, but I'm not. Oh my God, trish!" Lita shouted as she looked towards where Trish pressed the car horn yet again. "Learn to be patient."
"Two minutes are up," Trish shouted back as she stuck her head out the window to look over at the other two. "We're going on five!"
"Just shut up!" Lita shouted once last time before turning her attention back to John who couldn't help but laugh.
"You have fun with that one. I'm thinking I'm going to have more fun at work the next few hours than you are with her and Stephanie in one car."
"Headphones and books are going to be a savior for when those two- especially blondie- annoy the hell out of me in the car. My escape plan."
John rolled his eyes when he saw Trish now standing outside the car, her eyes focused on the duo as she tapped her foot impatiently. "You should probably go before she gets all up in my face again," he said to Lita who didn't have to turn around to know that Trish was not sitting in the car anymore.
"She's going to drive me crazy." John smirked and was about to say something, but Lita beat him to it when she knew exactly what he was about to say. "Shut up," she said as she leaned it for a kiss. She was going to make it short, but of course her boyfriend had other plans, but she didn't mind at all. But there was one person who had an issue with it.
"Ugh. Get a room!" The redhead wasn't able to verbally respond to the blonde because she was a bit preoccupied, but she did send her friend a not so friendly gesture. "Oh real classy Li. You're lucky your parents are at work and aren't seeing this show you have displayed for your neighbors." With that said, Trish hopped back into the car.
"See you in two weeks?" Lita said after the two pulled apart after a while.
John nodded as smiled at his girlfriend with her returning the gesture. "I love you."
"I love you too." With one last quick kiss, Lita finally walked towards the car and joined Trish in the vehicle with the duo driving off a couple of moments later with John getting into his own car so he could head to work.
It was pretty weird for the both of them to think about how they weren't a fan of one another less than a year ago. They had been pretty much enemies for the last few years. There wasn't a day they wouldn't go without throwing insults towards one another. Hell, they couldn't stop doing that now either. Some thing would never change, but now they were actually a couple who didn't totally hate one another. And to think this all started off as a bet.
