After I get down telling her the story she just smiles at me, "What?" I say.

She just smiles, "That just sounds really cute."

I give a sarcastic laugh, "Right. Which part? The part where her friends hated me?" I say not seeing how any of that was cute. Well, maybe the going for round two but I wouldn't exactly call that cute, just horny.

"No. The part where you're her world." Erika says looking at me smiling.

I roll my eyes, "Well, all that's over now." I swivel the chair around to face the computer and decide to roll down memory lane. I go to Lily's Myspace and try my best to look past all the horrible comments people said about me to her. I click on her default picture to get to her photo albums. There's one that says 'my pictures' and another that says 'My painkiller', she called me her painkiller because I was always there to pick her up when she was down. Key word: was.

I feel Erika standing over me but I keep on looking through the pictures. They're just memories now anyways. I click the album that basically refers to me. There are a lot of pictures and under each picture there are song lyrics from my favorite songs that I think sound pretty. There's one that says "You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom." from Motion City Soundtrack's 'Hold Me Down'. Lily took that picture of me as I was climbing out of her room window. Of course I wasn't suppose to be there but I screwed up the night before and got her mad at me so I had to go over. I'm sitting in her windowsill with one leg on both sides smiling at her and the sun is just coming up over the horizon.

And then there's my super favorite picture of us together; my friend Kylie took it of us. The caption says , "The chemistry between us could destroy this place". We were sitting in Kylie's house because I convinced Lily to skip with me but we didn't have anywhere to go because she was afraid she was gonna get caught or something. So we pretty much just slept on Kylie's couch. I'm lying my head on my left arm and my other arm is resting over Lily. Her left hand is intertwined with my right and I think it's just the peacefullest picture in the world. And all the picture comments are saying how cute we are, half the people are the same ones that said, a year ago, that I was scum and was a jerk. I guess they finally realized I wasn't going anywhere and that I was the best for her... now where is that great heroine?

"How much time did you get to spend together?" Erika asks from over my shoulder.

"Uh... weekends, after school, nights and sometimes during school if we skipped or on the super off chance that we got detention together." I laugh, "She was the good one so there was like a 2 chance that she was in there with me, the bad girl."

"Nights?" she asks, "Her parents let you sleep over knowing that you guys were..."

I click the 'next' link so I can go to the picture which is a funny one. She was teaching me how to do one of her stupid cheers and I look so dumb doing it. The caption under this one is: confess all the faith that I had in you. "Ha, yeah right. No. Her mom hated me from day one. I'd sneak in her window, which was on the second floor but I'm crafty, and go to sleep with her."

Erika chuckles a little, "So you did that every night?"

"Nope, I did it when we got into fights, well, whenever I wanted to." I smile at the picture, "We hated going to bed mad at each other. I really hated it when she use to hang up on me and not answer her phone when I called back. And I would only call her back once and if she didn't answer I'd go over there." I laugh, "I'm a stalker."

Erika laughs, "That's really sweet."

"Yeah, we actually got into a fight about that while I was here. Right before she got into the car accident. She asked what I was gonna do now that I couldn't come over and I didn't have an answer for her. All I said was if I could be there then I would." I sigh, "Distance really sucks."

I hear my bed springs squeak as Erika sits on my bed, "I couldn't do what you're doing."

I swivel around in the computer chair to look at Erika, "And what exactly is it that I'm doing?"

"You just seem so composed, I would definitely freak out and jump off the edge." Erika says joking but probably not realizing I've thought about it on more than one occasion.

I scoff, "Ha, if only you knew. " she gives me a weird look. I get up out of the chair and walk over to my dresser to fix my picture frame; it was lying face down. With good reason, it's a picture of Lily and I. "Well, don't you have any stories to tell? Exciting and crazy lesbian escapades?" I ask trying to change the subject.

She laughs, "Sadly enough, no. after living here for so long, all my relationships have all been pretty calm."

I turn around to face Erika, "That's surprising. The hell mouth opened and I've only been living here for like three months." Erika laughs as I look at my alarm clock, that reads 2:46 pm. "It's almost three, let me hop in the shower. I don't want you being late to school." I say opening my very top drawer to look for a panties and a bra.

"Okay, I guess I'll just..." she looks over to my computer, "Get on Myspace or something."

I nod then walk over to my closet where I pick out a Roxy shirt and a pair of Roxy jeans. I make sure to spread them out on the bed so that it looks like how I would wear them. "Um, okay. You can answer my cell if it rings and tell them I'm in the shower... not my mom, though. I don't think she'll call but don't answer it if she calls."

"Dodging your mom?" she asks, who doesn't?

I smile as I walk to my door, "Always."

I walk to the bathroom which I feel hasn't been crowded by my siblings in a very long time. I close the door behind me then place my underclothes and my towel on the toilet. I sigh then turn to face the mirror; I place my palms on the counter top and lean into the mirror. I look my mirror self in the eyes. Okay, I've been keeping it together to save face, I can do it a little bit longer.I stare at myself for a few more seconds before stripping down and getting into the shower.

I like to take super hot, long showers but I can settle for super hot considering that I don't want Erika to be late to school. You know, I pretty much told Erika everything. Except for the whole I got into a fight with my mirror thing but she doesn't really need to know that.

I spend a short thirty minutes in the shower washing my hair and shaving my arms and legs. I step out of the shower then dry off with my favorite blue towel before putting on my underclothes. I wrap the towel around myself. I check myself out in the mirror, I'm not gonna blow dry my hair, it looks just fine. After staring at myself in the mirror, I turn of the light then walk into my room, "Um, Kyla?" Erika says turning from the computer to look at me.

I raise my left eyebrow, "What about her?"

"She called." Erika says, "She wants you to call her whenever you get a chance."

I nod, "Okay, did she say why?" I walk over to the area where I lied my clothes down.

Erika turns back around to face the computer, "Nope, she just wants you to call her back."

"Oh." I say dropping my towel and sliding on my jeans.

"So..." she says drawing out the word, "What's up with you guys?"

I walk to my dresser to put on deodorant and body spray, "What guys? What are you talking about?" I ask.

"I'm talking about you and Kyla. Do you have history?" she asks.

I scoff then roll my eyes, "Ha, no." I walk back over to the bed to put on my shirt.

"Well, you sure could've fooled me." she laughs.

After pulling my shirt over my head I ask, "What?"

"She gave me the look of pure hate." Erika says still talking into the computer.
