Chapter 7

Tommy woke up, his head was pounding, he felt a cold draft enter his room as the door opened and his mother walked in. It was Saturday morning after the party and all Tommy could think about was Kimi but his thoughts were shattered by a female voice.

"Tommy, Lil rang she wants to know if you'll meet up with her, at the Java Lava." Didi whispered, she stood at the door witing for an answer.

"Yeah tell her I'll be there in about 10 minutes." She nodded and left the room. A few seconds later he could hear her talking to Lil on the phone and so he got out of bed, took a shower and changed into a t-shirt and jeans. He checked his alarm clock, it was half seven he'd never been up so early on a Saturday. He stepped out of his room trying to be as quiet as he could, he could hear Dil snoring from the room next to his and his mother downstairs making breakfast. He didn't feel hungry so he left the house, mumbling goodbye.

The walk to the Finster's coffee shop wasn't a long one and Tommy needed to be alone with his thoughts. First he had to decide what to say to Lil, he didn't want to upset her but he definatly didn't want to be with her anymore. He hoped that Kimi wouldn't be working today or at least she wouldn't notice them, he wanted to speak to her after he broke it off with Lil. After five minutes of walking Tommy could see the tiny building that was the Java Lava.

Before entering he glanced in the window. Lil was already sat at a table, her back to him, she was having a conversation with one of the employees and Kimi didn't appear to be there. He took a deep breath and opened the door. Immediatly Lil turned her head towards him and shot him a small grin, he did the polite thing and smiled back, he wanted this to go as smoothly as possible. Lil had taken the liberty of getting him a drink, strawberry and peach smoothie, she knew him too well. He had been the only one to ever like that flavour. He sat across from her, her hands were stretched out on the table, expecting him to hold them. Instead he took a sip of his drink and kept his hands around the cup.

"So, you wanted to see me?" He asked.

"Yeah. I don't really know why but I thought that last night..." She cut off and bit her lip. "I thought that you were going to kiss her." She started twiddling her thumbs and refused to look at him. He stared blankly at her, he knew who she meant but he felt himself saying anythong other than what he wanted too.

"Er who?" What a stupid question, why bother denying it when he knew it was true. He liked Kimi so what was holding him back from dumping Lil. He couldn't help it, being there with her he felt like he had to lie, to protect her, his friend and yet he mind was screaming to tell her the truth.

"Kimi." She spat it out, almost like it had left a bad taste in her mouth. But they used to be such good friends and he couldn't help but think it was his fault that they weren't anymore.

"Not sure what you mean." He lied again. She glanced into his eyes and he could see hers glistening, he wasn't sure whether it was because she believed him and was and the glint was hope that they could be together or because she was going to cry.

"Yes you do!" She shouted, standing up. The previous question in his brain was answered as tears began to roll down her cheeks. "Just tell me one think Tommy, just one." She closed her eyes and calmed down before asking him. "Do you like Kimi?" He had no idea how to answer this without hurting her feelings and so he did the only thing he could. He lied.

"As a friend, of course." She glared at him as if commanding him to carry on. "No." He flinched as he said it, he felt ultimate guilt run through him not to different to pain.

Lil sniffed and wiped her tears away with the back of her sleeve, then she smirked at him.

"What about me?" Tommy now looked at her confused but she stayed silent.

"What about you?" He replied, she tilted her head to the side slightly, her eyes still fixed on him.

"Do you like me or are you planning to love me and leave me?" Her smirk became a frown.

He couldn't control but he felt the words he needed to say being replaced by words he would regret saying. "Of course I like you Lil, I just need time to think."

"Jocks don't think, Tommy." She grinned at this, it amused her for some reason, that he could think and was capable of it.

"Neither do blondes." He said keeping his expression calm.

"I'm not a blonde anymore."

"I guess I'm not a jock anymore then." He got up and stood infront of her. "Or am I, I'll leave it up to you to decide." For the first time she had nothing to say back to him. He felt like it could have gone worse and that was the probaly because the day was going to get worse. The door opened and in walked the one person he hoped it wouldn't be, Kimi. And as if there wasn't enough going on already he saw Lil's face drop, it may have been her jealousy that told her to do it but she pulled him in and kissed him.

Oh no what's Kimi gonna think and is Lil ever going to give up on Tommy you'll find out soon I hope ;) Review please Love y'all xx
