-Christian-

Rose walked in front of me; she sort of strutted in my opinion. She walked with such utter confidence she inspired me. People didn't like me, but whose problem was that really? Eddie liked me, all my friends liked me, Rose liked me…I burned red, AS A FRIEND I put emphasis on that for myself. I took a steadying breath and walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder lightly. A light jolt went up my arm, and made my heart rate accelerate considerably. She looked up at me with innocence in her eyes. Earlier she said something about how she hadn't cared about my feelings, but helping her was my therapy, it was how I coped, knowing someone depended on me… my cell pone rang and it was Adrian.

"What Ivashkov?" I answered.

"Let me talk to her," he ordered. I scoffed, excuse him? Yeah, no she gave me a pleading gaze. It screamed, no don't do it. For a second I was lost in that very gaze, my phone fell from my hands and snapped closed. It was like compulsion was waking over me, but she was the one issuing it. She was staring at me the same way I stared at her until she blinked, she brought us both back to reality…we were in the middle of the street. Yet, I still wanted to kiss her as cars swerved around us, honking angrily. For a second I thought I was going to, and then Eddie put his hand on our backs and pushed us from the road.

"What was that?" Eddie whispered, "Were you using compulsion on her?" I stepped back.

"No! I suck at compulsion! It wasn't me I swear!" Eddie went to say something before Rose jumped in.

"It wasn't him, it felt natural, like the seeing the moon when I wake up, or when you laugh…" Eddie gave her a weird look before shifting uncomfortably.

"Well next time, stay out of the street, kay?" we nodded in agreement, "so are you guys ready to go home?" we nodded again and went back to my car. Eddie stepped into the backseat as I took the driver seat and rose called shot gun.

"So, just in case I want us all to promise that we're not going to fall in love with either one of us, okay?" Eddie announced.

"Agreed," If only I wasn't already falling for her. How could I do this? How could I fall for Lissa's best friend? Lissa, her name was like freezing water to a warm dream. No! I wasn't falling for Rose, never would I allow that too happen. Rose smiled at us.

"Y'all just worry about not falling in love with me,' she teased. I'd try, no I wouldn't. I didn't love Rose, I just loved that she was near to Lissa.

"As if, I know you love my eyes Hathaway," I laughed; she rolled her eyes and flipped her mahogany hair.

"Eddie looks better than you," she told me. Eddie scoffed.

"Excuse me, I look better than the both of y'all thank you very much," Rose and I laughed at him, as I hit the highway. I went to touch the gear shift as Rose went for the radio. My hand hit hers. I was electrocuted, my whole body felt numb, like my nerves were shot. She turned on the radio quickly and hard rock blasted through the radio. She didn't bother to change it, it was loud and made conversation impossible. What was with the electricity? I didn't love her, she was just my friend. 'Sure Christian, whatever you say,' said my conscience. I turned the song up. There.
