CHAPTER 26
If I can't be your lover, let me be your best friend
The rest of the week went by horridly slow. After I told Riku about Sora cancelling he looked ready to kill. Lucky for me he softened up after he heard what happened with Roxas.
It was Friday night and Riku and I were just hanging around my living room. Riku was lying on my sofa looking at the ceiling. I was lying on the coffee table with my head hanging off so I was looking at the room upside down. To put it simply we had no lives. I really didn't know what to do, most of my time had been spent trying to get with Roxas I couldn't remember what it was like to not have him in my life so much.
I was confused more than anything. I had been rejected before and each time that happened I would bounce back. I was never sitting around like this. Then there is Riku, usually he would have dragged us out to the park or something just to get out, but he seemed more distracted by thoughts of Sora. We were both pathetic; no we both were in love and crushed.
"Riku, why don't you call Sora maybe he will change his mind." Then I had my idea. If I couldn't be happy at least Riku could be right?
I got up from the table and made my way to my room. I grabbed my phone off the bed side table and dialed the number I stared at for the past week.
"Hello?"
"Roxas, I know you don't want to talk to me, but I need you to do me a favor. More like I need you to do Riku a favor."
"What do you want from me?" Roxas says, I could tell he was not happy for the call.
"Get Sora to go to my house and pick of Riku for the date he cancelled. Riku is crushed. He is lying on my sofa staring at the ceiling. Riku doesn't do moping like this."
There was a silence on the other end, for a second I thought Roxas had hung up. Then I hear screaming, and fighting. After a minute things got quiet, and Roxas returned to the phone. "Sora will be there in about 15 minutes." He didn't say anything else and I checked to see if he ended the call, he hadn't.
"Roxy, even though you don't want a relationship with me I don't want to be completely out of your life. I don't want you to ignore me anymore. I want to at least be your best friend if I can't be anything else to you." Roxas was silent for another moment before I hear the tiny whisper of ok, then the soft hum of a dropped call.
