Kimi wanted so much to tell Tommy how she really felt, but she knew she couldn't, not while his mood was so gloomy, and while Phil was here trying to get a spitball to stick on the ceiling.
Eventually they all drifted back home. 'I will tell him tomorrow!'
Lil cried into her pillow, why did she have to admit her feelings to Tommy, and why did that moron have to gulp!
It was midnight now, and she was still crying, 'not only did I wreck our friendship, but my fantasy on Tommy liking me back is…killed!'
Lil stiffened when she heard a knock, 'had some one heard her crying'
Lil dried her puffy eyes on her pillow, and slowly tiptoed to the door, opening it a crack, but was surprised to see no one. She heard more knocking and realized in horror, it wasn't her door… it was her window!
She closed her eyes shut, wishing that the knocking would stop. "Lil open it," she heard a voice hiss. Lil opened her eyes, 'what the hell…Tommy!'
She went over and opened the window a crack, "What do you want Tommy," she demanded.
"Lil open the damn window!"
"Go away, Tommy go home!"
"Lil I swear I'm going to fall,"
"That's why I told you to go back the way you came!"
"Lil I'm not leaving until I get to talk to you,"
Lil didn't speak.
"Lil I'm going to start yelling, and how will you explain having a boy climbing into your window in the middle of the night," Tommy challenged.
Lil signed and opened the rest of the window, giving him access to enter. Tommy fell in the room.
"This was easier when we were kids, I don't think that tree will be able to hold us for much longer!"
Lil rolled her eyes, and then quickly kicked one of her childhood teddy bears under the bed that was sprawled on the floor from when she got up.
Tommy then got serious, "Lil about what you told me this afternoon, well-…"
"Tommy just forget that please,"
"No Lil, I was to apologize for the way I reacted, and I want to say…" Tommy paused to look Lil in the eye, "even though at this point I don't care for you more then as a best friend…"
Lil felt the tears well up in her eyes again.
"I don't want to erase that idea, because I think there can be more, sometime in the future, cause I really care for you Lil, but I don't want to wreck our friendship before I'm sure that there is, because once you pass the line, things never go back the same!"
Lil wasn't believing this, 'was this a way for Tommy to tell her that he doesn't return her feeling, but a way that he thought was nice?"
"Do you understand," Tommy asked kindly.
Lil just nodded her head, "Tommy can you please leave,"
"Lil-…"
"Now, or a swear I will call Phil telling him you harassing me in the middle of the night by coming into my room, and refusing to leave when I tell you to," Lil stated simply.
Lil saw the hurt on Tommy's face, but ignored it as she pointed to the window.
Tommy eyes pleaded with Lil, he might not return her feelings yet, but he did really care for her, Tommy slowly walked to the window and climbed out.
Lil threw herself on the bed sobbing, 'This has wrecked our friendship!'
That's when a solution popped into her head, 'this is the only way out of this,'
With that thought in her head, Lil drifted of to sleep…
