Ch. 7
We sat there in silence for a very long time, a very painfully long time. I didn't want to let go. My whole world was coming to a crashing halt just a couple of hours ago and now I'm here, on my bed, about to cry not because I can't feel my heart but because I'm so happy. I was just letting my thoughts wonder as we sat there and then something hit me in the back of my head. Not physically but a thought.
"Ve, Lud?"
He stopped hugging me as hard and looked down at me, "Ga?"
"How did you get in my room?"
I then felt a breeze on my back and heard my curtains being carried by the wind. It went silent again as I slowly looked up at Lud.
"Ha… funny story, I sort of couldn't get in your room so I asked your mom for a ladder and climbed up."
I let go of Lud and stepped out of my bed with my hands covering my face. I was trying so hard not to laugh. I guess Ludwig thought something else because he stepped from my bed and put his hand on my shoulder almost like he was trying to consul me.
"Are you okay?"
I just busted out laughing. "Hahaha, you climbing through my window to see if I was okay?! That's so cliché! Haha, I love it!"
He nervously laughed as he took his hand off my shoulder. "Well, I was worried…"
I was laughing so hard I started to just cry. "It's okay Lud." I walked over to my window and closed it. I walked over to my door and unlocked it. "There, now you can come in." I stopped laughing and just looked at him with a smile.
He laughed, "Okay. Let me just repeat my steps."
He walked out the door and closed it behind him. He knocked and slowly opened the door sticking his back his hair as he walked through. He literally repeated everything he said to me the first time as he walked in.
"For whatever he said to me that I wasn't supposed to know, I'm sorry."
My hands covered my mouth as I tried to not burst out laughing like mad man. My face was turning red and I just couldn't hold it in any more.
"Lud! You're so hilarious! Why couldn't you be like this a couple of days ago?!"
I knew he was confused. Maybe it was because I was in a great mood. Maybe it's because he knows now and I don't need to worry about it anymore. I stopped laughing and just looked at Lud. 'Oh yes, he's confused.' So I asked,
"So what did Gil tell you anyway?"
He rubbed the back of his neck like he usually does when he's being the bearer of bad news, "He told me that you had feelings for him. I don't know why I needed to know that but he told me. I never really thought of you as the gay type but that does make sense."
My heart almost broke into a trillion more pieces as he said that and I almost burst out yelling, 'it's not for him but for you!'
I folded my arms, "makes sense?"
"Why all the girls flirt and hang out with you. I just thought they all just wanted you to date them."
"Well I'm pretty sure that they want to date me but I think they just let me hang out with them 'cuz (insert Italian accent) I' ma sexy Italian that has a great accent."
We both looked at each other in this weird look you give your best friend after doing something embarrassing.
