Awkward

Chapter 9 Aunt Bridgit

When I finally got home, slamming the door hard behind me, I walked right past my mom, who raised her eyebrows questioningly at me.

I went up to my room and decided to check my voicemail. I had twelve messages-and all from Chad.

"Sonny, I'm sorry for being so blind. Please forgive me. I know you're mad, but give me a chance," said the first message. I deleted it with a snort. I didn't want apologies. I wanted him to ditch Jenna.

I weeded through the rest of the messages.

"Sonny, you'll probably be happy to hear this…Jenna broke up with me after she saw us kiss…" His voice was so sad.

I felt like I should be happy that they weren't together anymore, and in a way I was; I wouldn't be seeing Jenna again, but I felt bad for making Chad upset.

I dropped back onto my bed with a sigh. I was torn over calling him back or not.

Then, I heard the front door slam. Who could that be? Then my mom started talking happily.

She only talked like that with one person in the world.

Aunt Bridgit.

I slowly got up and went down to the kitchen.

Indeed, Aunt Bridget was there, talking excitedly with her sister.

"Hey, Aunt B," I said, my voice initiating what I was feeling inside, but she didn't seem to notice.

She squealed in her annoying aunt way and gave me a hug, squishing me. "Sonny! You've gotten so big since the last time I saw you!" she gushed, holding me at arm's length. I forced a smile. I wasn't in the mood to be happy.

"Sonny, what's wrong?" she asked, her eyebrows suddenly scrunching together.

"Can I talk to you upstairs?" I asked, my voice choked. She nodded silently and followed me upstairs.

Aunt b was always the one I could talk to. She always listened and gave me the advice I needed.

We sat down on my bed and I started to explain what had happened just a few hours earlier.

By the time I finished, I was bawling my eyes out on Aunt B's shoulder.

"…he apologized, but I don't know what to think. I hurt him and I feel really bad-even though I hate Jenna and I'm glad she's gone," I wailed.

She rubbed my back and waited for me to stop crying.

"Sonny, do you really, and I mean really, like him?" she asked, looking into my eyes.

I nodded tearfully. "I'm in love with him, aunt B," I whispered.

"Does he feel the same?"

I sighed. "I don't know…he kissed me back, until he remembered he just got back with Jenna. But he said he didn't-that he had Jenna."

"You should call him," she said gently, handing me another tissue.

"What? Call him? I can't-I don't want to fight again," I said, blowing my nose.

"You won't. I'm positive you both are pretty broken up about this, I think all you'll do is cry," she reassured me.

I sniffed. "You think so?" She nodded. "Totally."

I picked up my phone and called Chad.

"Sonny?" Chad answered, sounding anxious.

"Hey, Chad," I whispered hesitantly.

"Gosh, Sonny! Are you okay I'm so sorry for-," he started to ramble again, but Aunt B snatched the phone away from my ear.

"Chad?! Is this the dooface that dissed my niece?! What the heck's wrong with you? I should kick your-"

I got the phone back before she could say something bad.

"Sorry about that, Chad…That was just my angry aunt," I said, glaring at Aunt B. She threw up her hands in defense and whispered that she was going to leave me to talk to him alone.

"Its okay…I have crazy relatives too," Chad replies, but still sounding a little creeped out.

I ignored his disrespect. "Chad…I'm sorry about Jenna. I really am," I whispered.

"Hey, its okay…She was a slut anyway; I don't need that."

I took a deep breath. "You knew about hat?"

I heard him chuckle on the other line. "I knew it from the start."

"…So your not mad at me?"

"No, I'm not. I'm just upset that I didn't know you liked me before. Why didn't you tell me?" he asked me quietly.

"I was scared…" I was in tears again.

"Sh sh sh, Sonny. It's okay," Chad whispered comfortingly.

I stopped crying. "Chad, I need to know…do you love me back?" I asked, hopeful.

He hesitated. "I'm not sure…Look, I'm gonna need some time to think about this…And to get over Jenna," he replied.

My hopes fell again. "O-okay," I whispered, trying not to break down again.

"This doesn't mean that we won't date, Sonny."

I sighed. "Yeah, I know…But I want you to love me by choice, not by force."

I looked over at the clock. 2:30. I moaned and rolled back over.

So many thoughts were whirling in my head right now…

Does he like me back?

Did that kiss mean anything?

Etc. Etc.

Chad invited me to Starbucks tomorrow afternoon to talk things over in person.

Just thinking about it gave me butterflies in my stomach/

Gosh, that sounded so cheesy…

I looked back over at the clock and discovered only two minutes had passed since the last time I'd looked.

I kept playing our kiss over and over in my head.

The way his soft lips felt on mine. The way he moved them against mine.

That boy was a pro kisser, man.

But then…

"Sonny…I'm not-I-I have a girlfriend."

Did he mean it? That he's not in love with me?

I punched my pillow out of frustration. I stopped myself from screaming, knowing that my mother and Aunt B were trying to sleep.

I tossed and turned for a long time. And when I finally did fall asleep, I dream of Chad.

Did ya like it?
