Once we got back to Vicky's apartment, I was surprised to see it was clean, "You pay someone to clean everything? Or did you threaten them?" I asked.

Vicky scowled, "I guess I'm going to the movies by myself."

"W-wait! I was kidding! Don't leave me here, I'm sorry." I apologized quickly, I didn't know she would do something like this just so we could spend some time together…Or maybe she did it for something else entirely? I mean she's sneaky.

Vicky smiled, "Just like old times, don't you think?"

Once we got ready and were in the car, she said, "So what's the matter?"

I slouched down in my seat and squinted my eyes at Vicky, she shrugged, "I'll find out, I always do."

I looked out the window as she started driving, "So how is Jerry and Nicky?" She asked, "Why do you call them by their first names?" But then again I guess it's better than idiots, or those people. "What about that little brat Tootie?" She ignored me?!

I sighed, "You just like to torture me, don't you?"

Vicky smirked, "So, you guys have a fight or something?"

I shook my head, "Nothing happened." Vicky stared at me until I started to feel uncomfortable, "Your sister has a crush on me!" I blurted out. She kept driving calmly, "What do you feel about her?"

I looked outside at the passing cars, "I've been spending a lot of time with her, and I feel something, but it's not so much that I love her, she's like a sister to me." I explained, Vicky chuckled, which made me very nervous, "So what about me?" She asked, I could hear it in her voice, she knows exactly how I feel about her, "You saved me, if anything I need you, but I'll say it, I like you."

My boldness paid off, she blushed, "We're not going to the movies...Are we?" I asked. She looked at me at the corner of her eye, "How observant of you…I knew something was wrong, I just wanted to know, plus I don't like movies."

A few minutes later we were back at her apartment, "Well, I ordered some pizza, what do you wanna do?" Vicky asked, I stared at her skeptically, "Not everything I say is planned…" it sounds like…She's pouting, "Um…You can pick."

"Well you insisted…" She smiled deviously. How many times must I mess up? An hour later we were on the couch channel surfing, she threw the remote at me, I got startled and barely caught it, "What the hell Vicky…"

Vicky fell on my lap, I stared at her wide eyed, "uh…Can you-What-I…" I was going crazy, what is she doing? Why is she doing this!? I tried moving, but I stayed still. I could tell she wanted me to do something, "I'm...Still a kid..." I whispered. Vicky groaned, "Man you like to ruin my fun! Can you stop being a smartass? And a scary cat?! So what I'm older who cares!?"

My mouth hung open, the hell did she just say? Did she admit that she...Likes me? "Whoa...Wait a minute. How long have you...?" My question died in my throat as she glared at me with those intense pink eyes, "Long enough for your dumbass to figure it out..." she muttered.

I sat there looking like a tomato, how long is she going to lay on my lap? I felt her fingers intertwine with mine. "You know meeting you changed me, before you I was such a bitch to everyone...There were times I had fun, but I was never truly happy. Because of you, those kids can have a decent childhood."

I smiled and squeezed her hand, "I could say the same thing, If I hadn't met you I wouldn't be here, because of you, I learned to love, care, and forget." I moved my head above hers, she stared up at me, "You're still a kid..." she faltered and brought her lips up to mine.

I opened my eyes, her pink eyes stared into my purple eyes. She grabbed my hand and got up, "No going back now."

I nodded and chuckle lightly, "I don't mind as long as it's with you, I don't mind."

Vicky wrapped me in a hug, "I don't either."

Timmy's POV ~

it was Friday evening, Tootie wanted to talk to me about something so she asked if I could come over, "Yea...I'll be over in thirty." I said to her over the phone. After I hung up my hands started to feel sweaty, for awhile now I've started to like her, if Vicky continuously messed with me, I probably would have resented Tootie in some way. But Vicky just stopped treating me different one day. I thought it was strange, of course, but then I also thought, maybe she's changed? Whatever the reason, I'm glad, now I can at least have some fun as a teen and not worry about coming home to a house with a psychotic redhead.

Thirty minutes later I was standing in front of Tootie home, I knocked and was greeted by her mother, Nicky Valentine, "Hi Timmy! you here to see Tootie?" She asked.

I nodded, "Yeah she wanted to ask me something."

Mrs. Valentine smiled mischievously, which I though no mother could do, "So you two finally getting close? After all the running you did, oh my."

I felt my cheeks heat up, "I wouldn't say close, we're just friends." That hurts and I wish that wasn't true. Mrs. Valentine frowned like I just ruined her, "Tootie is in her room, will you be staying for dinner?"

I shook my head, relieved that she won't be asking anymore questions, "No, just to hang out with her for a little while."

Mrs. Valentine nodded and let me in, I took my shoes off and headed up to Tootie's room. When I entered her room she looked sad, but when she saw me she smiled brightly, "Timmy! Hey!" She beamed.

"Hey, what did you want to talk about?"

"Alex...I think he's mad at me..."

"Alex got mad...? That doesn't sound like him."

"I know, but he seemed like it when I told him he and I were getting closer."

A little laugh escaped my mouth and I covered it quickly, I cleared my throat, "Well you two have been living together for three years, it only makes sense."

Tootie gave me a weird look but then she said, "That's true, but we didn't actually start to talk until recently."

"I'm not sure I can help you with this..." I said and tried for a smile, I know where this is going. I really don't want to talk about her and him, but what if she doesn't actually see him in that way? Maybe she meant closer as siblings? It doesn't hurt to ask, "When you say 'getting closer' do you mean as siblings? Or...?"

The question died in my throat as she started to look hurt, "No..." I muttered.

"My feelings are being torn between you and Alex..."

I know I said it would be longer, but I already know what I'm going to do for the next chapter, so for now this'll be it

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesome day!
