Chapter 8: This is over!
I slammed the book shut, shoved it back into its spot and buried my head into a pillow. She... loved me? Why didn't she ever tel- well of couse Endymion you fool, she didn't tell me with me and my stupid speeches on how useless love really was. How I'd never find it. How no one would love me as me. Serenity didn't want to loose my friendship when I was yelling out stupid stuff like that! Serenity you're a dolt! Why did she have to fall in love with me? How am I supposed to act now that I know? What if she gets the wrong idea!? Damn it! This was confusing~ And to top it all off, I was starving! I sighed heavily before crfawling out of bed and snuck down the stairs past the lit study. Wait.. lit? Why was the light on? Wasn't Serenity asleep? That workaholic. I peeked inside and saw Sere sitting at her desk talking on the phone. She was in a fluffy bunny bathrobe talking on her office phone. There was a pen behind her ear which surprisingly hadn't been lost yet in the mussed up hair framing her face. She was playing with a small little Dalmation McDonalds toy, spinning it around and watching it crawl around her desk.
In that moment I realized how beautiful she was. She sparkled like a vision that was teasingly placed before my eyes, one I could never touch. I could picture a small gold band around her naked ring finger. See myself kissing her, marrying her, loving her. Hell I could imagine how she'd shove cake in my face at a wedding reception. I could see the house filled with children racing around its cheerful halls. I shook my head and just caught the last few sentences of Serenity's conversation.
"The news wouldn't want to use that in any story, its too.. happy. A print out in the papers might be in order.. " She laughed at something the person on the line said before she hung up and stood. I scampered off towards the kitchen, leaning against a wall in the shadows.
Geez Endymion.. first you read her most private thoughts, now you evesdrop on her telephone conversations. I quickly snuck into the pantry, looked on the top shelf, and grabbed a plastic jar that was filled with hershey chocolates. I snuck back to the bed to pig out before I slept.
That morning, SErenity was still sleeping (The slacker) and I was drinking my daily coffee watching the news. Or, pretending to watch the news. I was actually staring at a picture behind the tv. It was of Serenity and myself. She had managed to get a santa hat on my head, and was sitting on my lap, a pair of antlers on her own head. We were both smiling and our heads were pressed together. It was one of her ultimate favorites. What was she thinking about in that picture? What was she thinking whenever I told her any of my rants on girlfriends. Good god I wondered how bad it hurt when I actually went out with people. How could she manage to act so normal around me? Like nothing was ever bothering her? Oh Sere I'm so sorry...
"And in other news, rumors are flying over the new woman, or shall I say stunning Goddess Endymion Shilds was seen with last night. But, luckily last night a caller confirmed the two are madly in love and engaged.." WHAT? Rewind Rewind!! What was that? Called in confirmation.. Serenity was talking about the news and the papers... she could have.. but why? Why would she... jealousy? A way at getting back at me for never knowing her feelings? Were there some evil thoughts under those innocent blond curls? Damn her! I slammed my coffee onto the table and charged into her room. Serenity moaned and turned over, trying to bury her head under a pillow. I grabbed her shoulders and hauled her up. She blinked blearily at me, and yawned. At any other time I would have thought it adorable.
"So.." I hissed, barely controlling my rage, "thought you should tell everyone we were madly in love and engaged did you?" Her eyes snapped open.
"What?! I never-"
"SAVE IT! I know you called them up last night! I heard you! They even said a caller confirmed it in the news today!" I bellowed into her face.
" What the hell? I was talking to-"
"I thought you were my friend! but to go so low as to.." I couldn't finish, I walked out of that room in a huff. Serenity leapt out of bed and folowed.
"Please tell me whats going on?" she begged, her voice filled with hurt.
"I know about your crush on me" I spat, "read about it last night."
" .. you.. read my diary?" she asked, crestfallen. Her eyes were dull and sad.
"Yup. Now this low blow to me. Couldn't deal with competition could you? couldn't deal with me wanting to be a bachelor.. " I shouted before jumping into one of her cars and pulling out.
"I'll return it later, don't worry. Wouldn't want you calling your precious media and saying I was a thief." I drove off, glancing once into the rearview mirror to see my ex-best friend crumpled on the ground sobbing.
