"Ok deary, well while we're out well just get some stuff to fix that up for ya'" She gave me a caring smile as she and her husband walked outside hand in hand.
"Later kids, don't forget Tom if you guys leave just leave us a note telling us what time you might be home." Mr. Denmark waved goodbye and walked out with his wife leaving us three alone and with the sound of the door slamming to make it official that we were all alone.
"I don't believe that for one second Miya, what happened? You're not that clumsy." Tom's eyes burrowed into mine, or at least he tried but ended up pulling back and rubbing in between his eyes.
"It's true Kit had tripped me like a dumb fox would and I fell ok? Besides I'm not the one still in my pajamas." I smirked as he gave me a glare, and then pushed the plate towards me.
"So is reindeer print the new style the new fashion or is it just you?" The Russian smirked and gave a questioning grunt. I followed his gaze to Tom's now sliding pj's that uncovered black "boxers" with cartoon reindeer all about them. I smiled I had gotten those for him like when we were 13 years old I'm surprised he still fits them. Of course, isn't that a bad thing?
I couldn't help but snicker, and give him a glance of my laughing eyes. His cheeks turned a rosier red then normal and it wasn't from the heating either.
"You're the one who got them for me last Christmas, remember?" He asked me giving me a look and trying to justify wearing them at the same time, but Kai just kept trying not to laugh.
"Yeah but that was about 4 years ago, I'm surprised that you still fit those."
"Hmmm, that's got to be a bad thing." I turned my head to glare at Kai, he was talking about my best friend here. Even if it was true, I had to say something to defend him, I mean how many times has Tom saved my butt?
"I wouldn't be talking, you don't seem like much either."
His eyes grew cold and icy with in one second while Tom began to laugh.
"Well, we had better get down to the school's gym, I'm sure that everyone is already down there." Tom had finally stopped his fit of laughter and he had quickly went back to his natural composure, allowing himself to speak.
"Since when did any one else besides the captain make official dates for practice?"
This had to be good, I mean I was captain which meant I was officially in charge of everything no one else but me.
"Since we don't have much time that's when, now quit your bickering and lets go, we'll take my car." I turned my head to the now keen sensed boy that had already gotten up and was heading for the door. I rolled my eyes, was I really that much of a pain? If I am I owe apologizes to all of my school teachers, Tom, repair men, and everyone else in the world including sweet old Daddy. Just because I said he wasn't that great of a father and at times I said I totally wanted to move out and how much I disliked him, deep down I knew I loved him and always will I mean he's my father. Can anyone not love their father? That question hadn't crossed my mind till' now lately it seems I have more questions and not as much knowledge that I thought I once had.
"You comin' or what Miy?"
I snapped up to see Tom coming down the stairs fully dressed in khaki slacks, with a brown sweater and his normal jacket. I smiled at him, my best friend, suddenly I felt like I had been such a fool. I mean how many times has this boy helped me out, and , well if the accident was hard on me it had to of been hard on him, even more so considering that Mel was Tom's step sister just as close as me and her were he was probably closer. I'm such a selfish fool, all I ever think of is myself no one else, I take him for granted too much and he doesn't mind or care for the matter. He just takes it and goes on, how did I get so lucky?
"Wha-?"
"Thank's Tom, for everything." My voice felt fragile as my head hit his chest with a slight thump sound and my arms around his neck clasped into place, he was my best friend but it seemed I never wanted to let him go, why did I feel this way? I felt his arms wrap around my waist softly but still firm, his head nuzzled in my hair and with every breath goosebumps appeared on my neck.
"No problem, besides what are best friends for? Plus you've helped me out plenty a time."
I pulled back a quizzical look on my face as my arms rested on his strong framed shoulders, how did he get those anyways?
"No offense but I don't remember any time in helping you out, you've always done that for me, I guess I'm not such a good friend after all, eh?" I looked down, it was true as I said I never did stuff for him. Besides the usual a friend would do but nothing really outstanding like he's done for me.
"Hey, who said you weren't a good friend? You need to get your facts straight, you've helped me out a lot like keeping me company, always being there for me, and just to know that you're there is enough for me, understand?" I felt his hand slip under my face and lift it up to meet his wondering eyes.
"Why'd you say that anyways?"
I felt tears slide down my face then down my throat and over my lump that was in my throat as I tried to talk.
"Hey you guys going to come or what? It's been like 15 minuets."
That stupid voice, why'd he have to intrude right now? I looked in the opposite direction and wiped the salty tears away with my sleeve as I pretended nothing was wrong.
"Nothing I just have to take some medicine for my cold, so we'll be out in a minuet, k' Kai?"
I heard the screen door slam shut with it's loud squeak and Tom's trusty hand glide onto my shoulder like an airplane landing on it's runway. He turned me around and studied me and my tear stained cheeks, I only sniffled and watched as he took me into a strong embrace making me cry even more just letting everything flow.
"Hey, it's ok. Shhhh, everythings ok we can talk about it later." He kept whispering comforting things into my ear until I regained my composure and smiled.
"Since when are you sick and need cold medicine?" I chuckled as he rolled his eyes and put his hands up in the air.
"Ok so it was a lame excuse but it only means he's a lame guy for falling for it."
I laughed now there was a first for him, he had never been the type to throw insults at some one unless in a joking manner but that was no joking matter.
"We'd better get out there before grumpy gets mad again and blows a head gasket, and you can tell me what this was all about later. Oh and by the way what do you see in him any ways?"
He lead me out of the house as the winter air greeted us with a frigid wind, I had to only smile for him to get the hint that it was my little secret.
"ok ok, bu some day you'll have to tell me."
"Some day, Tom."
"Is that someday close, or even relatively close?"
"Tom."
He sighed apologizing under his breath and hopped into the back as I put the seat down and climbed in my self allowing my head to hit the back and lay there as I closed the door. Man crying made you tired.
"It's about time, why are your eyes so swollen and red anyways?"
He kept his eyes on the road not making any contact to live in up the conversation , I hesitated as I realized they were still like that from crying, luckily it was winter.
"My face is chapped from the wind, and my allergies are acting up if you must know."
I could tell he didn't by it but it got him off my back about it, allowing my mind to drift again, I was really getting tired of it's drifting. Every time it does I end up doing something or thinking of something that's complicating or just plain weird or not me. Yeah I know a lot of 'ors' eh?
By now we were on our way to the school and the music was blaring Linkin Park's new album in my pleasure. I was enjoying the scenery while Tom and Kai talked about Linkin Park's new album in my pleasure. I was enjoying the scenery while Tom and Kai talked about Nationals every once in a while referring back to me to see if they were right or if they were wrong, and most of the time it was to see who was right to my displeasure.
