True Love Will Survive

[ {:} Chapter Two {:} Everything is Not So Perfect {:} ]


David's unsure thoughts still rang through his head. He wasn't so sure that things would continue to be so perfect. He had to push those feelings aside for Miranda's party, though. Arriving at Lizzie's house around 8:00 that night, he rang the bell and waited. Soon the door flung open.

"So, going to let me in?" he asked Matt, who stood before him.

"I guess, but then again, I need $10 to do that." replied Matt, in his squeaky puberty-ravaged voice. Matt's voice had began to change in the past week, and it drove him crazy. All his female friends laughed every time his voice would quickly rise and lower.

"Ha-ha Matt, very funny." David pushed his way past the scrawny young man. "Is Lizzie ready?"

"I don't know, I'll ask." replied Matt, who stepped to the bottom of the stairs. "LIZZIE ARE YOU READY!? YOUR BOY-TOY HAS ARRIVED!" Matt turned around and grinned wickedly at David.

"Coming!" yelled Lizzie from her room.

"Matt, why didn't you just go upstairs and ask her?" asked David.

"I could ask you the same question." replied Matt.

"So, ready to go?" asked Lizzie.

"Yeah, let's go." replied David.

"See ya, freaks!" Matt yelled from the door, before quickly slamming it shut.

"God, I can't wait until his hormones begin to slow down." Lizzie giggled. "You should have seen him at breakfast this morning." She said, as they began to walk towards Miranda's house. "We had bacon, eggs, and toast and, I swear, he practically inhaled all the food." They both laughed.

"Yeah, I remember when I was going through that stage. We had to basically go grocery shopping 5 times a week." he laughed, recalling the awkward stage he went through just a few years ago. He loved to recall those times, even though they were quite hard to go through.

After an awkward few seconds of silence, Lizzie finally spoke.

"Are you okay? You're being kind of quiet."

"I guess, I just have a lot on my mind." he replied.

"Want to talk about it?" she asked, concerned.

"Not yet, maybe some other time. I just have to think it all over before I talk about it."

"Okay." Lizzie furrowed her brow. David had been acting kind of weird lately. She didn't really know what was going on anymore. She tried her best to ignore it, but lately it was getting a little worse.

The party at Miranda's was going on when they arrived. There was beer, loud music, drugs, and lots of hormones going around tonight, and unknown at the moment, this party may be the last for the 3 friends. A lot was going to be changing, and tonight was the perfect night for that change.
