Chapter 4:

Katie's POV:

The thought of Freddy kissing me kept replaying in my mind over and over and over again. It could have went on and on. And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted more of it. Freddy was my best friend and I've liked him since I could even remember and sometimes there we're times we would never get along. But if he and I hooked up, what if all that would go away? I'm too scared of losing him. Losing him in a sense that if ever we broke up, what if we never got to be friends again? It's so complicated.

Freddy's POV:

Kissing Katie might have been wrong but it felt so right at that moment. I mean, not just that moment... Until now it felt so right. I've known Katie since forever... And we're huge opposites. Eleni says that opposites attract, but we don't really attract. if we did then she wouldnt react that way when I kissed her. I know I should take chances but... what if I lose her? What if things don't work out and we'll never be friends again? I dont want to take that risk... I don't want to lose her. Why is it so complicated?

"Freddy, honey! Come down!" My mom screamed from the living room. I got up from my bed and went to the living room. My parents were both dressed up and had their luggage beside them.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Your mother and I have to leave on an emergency business trip... We'll be back in a day or two... For the mean time... I want you to stay here... Invite your friends to come over... Katie's just down the street so you invite her. Just dont stay at home alone." My dad said as he fixed his coat. I looked over to my mom.

"I gave Katie's mother a call and asked her if Katie could come over..."

"You did what?!"

"What's wrong, honey? Katie's your best friend right?"

"Uhm... yeah... So she's coming over? Why not just Zack?"

"Zack lives down the street! and he's out with Summer..." My mom explained.

"Don't worry son... You'll have a great time with Katie!" He said. I rolled my eyes at him. "Maybe you'll even score!"

"Dad! she's my best friend!" I said surprised.

"Not from what I see, Freddy!" He said and opened the door and went out. My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and said,

"Take care, Honey! I left some money on the kitchen counter... We'll give you a call, okay?"

"Okay... Bye, mom..." And with that my mom and dad had left for their business trip. I was left alone in the house. All alone. Oh, wait... Forgot. Katie's coming over. Dang it!

I ran up to my room and as I entered my room I saw a big mess.

"Darn... I havent cleaned my room much..." I said as I started tidying up.

Katie's POV:

"Katie! Freddy's mom called!!" My mom screamed. I went inside my room from the balcony and found my mom by my bedroom door. She had a smile on her face.

"Mom, what is it?!" I asked a bit annoyed by her smile.

"Freddy's parents are leaving right now for an emergency business trip and his mom wants you to accompany him tonight at their house. I said, yes you would."

My eyes widened. Oh no she didn't!

"You said yes without asking me first?! Mom!"

"What? You love staying over at Freddy's house!"

"Chyah.. I do.. But.. But.."

"But what?"

"Nevermind... The point is you should have asked me first!"

"Well too bad! Because I thought you love staying over there! I didn't think I needed to ask you!"

"Next time, mom, ask me first!"

"Oh okay..."

"Why do we sound like were fighting as mother and daughter?"

"Because we are mother and daughter..?"

"No I mean... You're the daughter and I'm the mother..." I said pointing to each on of us. My mother though for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"Oh, honey! You're hilarious! That.. That was funny!" She laughed even more. I laughed a bit then stopped.

"Mom.. Mom... MOM! ... you gotta know when to stop..."

"Hahahaha-oh-haha-yeah... Sorry about that... Uh, go pack your things now... and go over to Freddy's..." She said then disappeared. I took a deep breath, slammed the door and started packing my stuff.

Freddy's POV:

Ding-dong

Oh crap. Katie's here. I better go open the door. I ran downstairs and before opening the door I looked at myself in the mirror and made sure i looked okay.

What the hell am I doing?? This is just Katie!

I took a deep breath and opened the door. There stood Katie forcing up a smile.

"Hey, it's me, your babysitter for the next few nights..." She said in a deadpan tone of voice. I chuckled. I felt so tense.

"Hey, Katie-kay! Come on in!" I said in a cheery voice and trying to break the ice. She gave me a deadly look. Okay, I shouldnt have called her that.

"Frederick!" She said stepping inside my house makig me step back. She handed me her heavy bag as she gave me a scary grin. "Dont EVER call me Katie-kay." She said giving me a serious look this time. I nodded.

"So, where did your parents run off to?" Katie asked suddenly becoming herself again. I mean, she has always ben herself but as if there wasnt anything wrong going on.

"Ah, this business trip. Not exactly sure where... They just sort of left..."

"Yeah, and got me to babysit..." She said going over to the couch and sitting down.

"Hey no one wanted you to 'babysit' me..." I said making quote marks when I said babysit.

"Your parents did... And so did my mom... So I've got no choice..." She said switching the channel. "What are we going to do for the rest of the night?"

"I dunno... I was just going to practice my drums..." I lied to her. She gave me a look.

"Freddy Jones... You do not practice your drums! That's a lie!"

"Yeah I do practice!"

"Oh yeah? Since when?" She asked.

"Since-- Since now..?" She gave me a chuckle. She looked cute when she did that.

"We have to do something fun... To get rid of this awkwardness between us..." She said looking around. She noticed the awkwardness between us! Woah cool!

"Let's go out..." I blurted out. She looked back at me.

"Out? As in... Out out?"

"Yeah out..."

"Where do you suppose we go?"

"Anywhere but here, thats for sure..." I said putting my hands inside my front jean pockets and raising my eyebrows.

Katie's POV:

God. He looks so cute when he does that. And I'm so glad everything's like... Sort of normal between us...

"Is it okay if we leave your house... all alone?" I asked.

"Yeah well... Its not going to run away..." Freddy said scratching his head then shrugging. I gave a little laugh.

"Okay, let me just change into somehting more comfortable..." I said getting up.

"Alright... I'll go help you with your stuff..." He said following me oer to my bag. He took it and went upstairs and I followed him.

"You'll be taking the guest room.. And I'll be in my room..." He said. (A/N: They're 16 and smart enough not to stay n the same room at their age!) I gave a nod and went inside the guest room to settle down.

"I'll be downstairs..." He said then closed the door as he left. I took off my shorts and put on my faded jeans and kept my tight spaghetti strap on. I didn't think I needed to dress up that much since we were just going out. After I changed I just applied a little lip gloss and was out the door.

"You ready to go?" I asked as I walked down the stairs.

"Uhm... yeah.. One question..." He said opening the door.

"Uh-huh?" I said looking at him.

"Is that lipgloss you're wearing??" He asked looking at my lips. I smiled.

"Uhm, yeah..." I replied walking out the door. Freddy followed me then locked his house then we started walking.

"So... Where are we going?" I asked. "How about Hipster?" I asked right away before letting him answer.

"Uh... naaah... I don't really like it there... Too much people..."

"Okay.. How about that park right around the corner of Rocker Road?" I asked. Freddy looked at me and smiled.

"You mean the park where we used to hang out a lot?"

"Yeah... I mean, we havent been there in years... We should go visit it... you know..."

"Yeah... sure.. Okay!"

Freddy and I took our time just walking to Rocker Road park... I put aside any more thoughts on the kiss and as much as possible never thought of it. And Im guessing he did the same since we started talking and joking around like old times. I missed moments like this. Moments where we'd have a fun talk then it would turn into a serious talk then into a minor argument then into a joke then back into a fun talk. It was like a cycle. And it was like old times. I wanted it to stay like this forever. So I guess, I'm not taking the risk of telling Freddy whatever it is I'm feeling for him. For the mean time, we're both staying this way.
