Lil sat at her window seat, her eyes glued to the window with the closed curtains directly across her widow, the Window that belonged to Tommy's room. She felt like a stalker, she wanted to know if he left his house and exactly where he was going.
She also felt bad about her fight with Kimi, Lil knew she had a hot temper, especially when it came to losing Tommy, the only man she has ever loved! Ever since she was in grade six and he had picked her to have a 'pretend' marriage with for an assignment.
Lil sighed; she had been pretty cruel yesterday and now she regretted it. She picked up her phone and dialed Kimi's number, but quickly put it down before it rung. He heart thumped out on her chest, she didn't know what she would say, and she still was really angry at the thought of Tommy picking Kimi.
'What if she made it worse?'
If Phil had not been their yesterday afternoon, would she have really hit a friend that was so dear?
Lil got up from the window seat and walked over to her brother's room. She tapped on his door gently, "Phil," she called out.
"Yea…come in," came the muffled respond.
She opened the door to find Phil sitting on the bed with his back up against the backboard shaking his head to the beat of a song that he playing on his CD player.
"Phil can I talk to you?" she asked.
"Yea, what is it sis?"
Lil took a seat at the edge of Phil's bed. "Phil, I'm really scared, what if Tommy picks Kimi…will I be able to ever move on, will my jealously get in the way of the friendship I have with Tommy and Kimi,"
"Uh, Lil what if he picks you, what would you do then,"
"Oh I would be so damn happy-…" Lil's smile disappeared, "Oh, you mean about Kimi, she would probably feel the same way as I do, and our friendship would still be crushed," she muttered ashamed.
Phil nodded, "This is a hard one, whoever Tommy picks, the other one will be crushed- no worse…. heart broken,"
"Your suppose to be making me feel better-…"
"No sis, you came to me for help, and let me tell you, by what I'm telling you is far more helpful then 'Don't worry, you'll get over him,' trust me,"
Lil nodded slowly…
Kimi flipped through the TV channels bored, the day seemed to have dragged on with her anticipation of Tommy's phone call telling her his decision.
Sometimes she felt like jumping for joy, knowing theirs fifty percent chance that he might pick her, while other times she wants to cry thinking their half a chance that its…Lil.
She wanted Tommy to call; she wanted to hear whom he loved.
She heard Chuckie feeding mushy lines to Angelica on the phone and rolled her eyes. She knew he had the book of 'romantic lines' in his hand.
She heard as he finally got off and thumped to the room she occupied.
"Hey Kimi, what's up,"
"Chuckie…tell me honestly, do you think Tommy may pick me,"
"Pick?"
"Yea, he said that he does love one of us –Lil and I- but he hasn't told us. Do you think that theirs a good chance that it may be me?"
"Fifty-fifty," Chuckie said simply.
"Chuckie! That's not much help,"
"Kimi is he worth it?"
"Worth what?"
"Worth your friendship with Lil going down the damn drain,"
Kimi was taken aback by this, she never thought of this as…that.
"Chuckie, I want you to know right now, as mean as Lil and I may be to each other, she's still one of my closest and dearest friend, but true love is worth anything, I love Lil, but if Tommy picks me, then if she's a true friend she would step back and understand that," Kimi said.
"Easier said, then done," Chuckie muttered.
"That's the thing Chuckie, I know that, and that makes it that much worse, I know that it would take me everything to do that if he chose her, but I also know that it's the right thing, its something a true friend does,"
Chuckie was stunned by what she had just said. She was so right, that it hurt her.
Chuckie silently prayed in his mind;
Please, I don't want either of these girls crushed; do something- anything, to prevent their friendship from falling apart because of their damn stubborn hearts…
A/N alright I'm sorry I keep stalling, but I swear, I'll give you Tommy's decision in the next chapter…PLZ don't be mad, but I had to add this chapter in…:D:D…You know the drill, a review another chapter!
