A Wish To Escape

Chapter 11

Tristana's POV

2:26 a.m. I read on the clock. Ugh! I've been awake since 8:30 yesterday morning I can't sleep!

I look over next to me, and Paris is sound asleep. Then I look over to moms bed and she's snoring. How do they do that? I can lay in bed for hours, and not sleep,  but as soon as their heads hit the pillow they are out of it.

I wonder what that question was that Payton needed to ask? I wish I knew, and I wish I knew why he was so nervous, and didn't want Tristan to know.

This really just give me another thing to stress about. I mean seriously I already stress enough about dad,  and chores, and myself in general. Now Im gonna be stressing about Payton's question.

I know I shouldn't be stressing this much over anything, but its sp hard not to. Things never happen the way I need them to, something wrong always happens, people are always talking about me, and someone is always mad at me.

I look over at the clock again, and it reads 2:57. Ugh! I need sleep, we are getting up in 6 hours. Right about then I get a text I look down at my phone, and see Payton's name on the screen with a text that says,

Are you awake?

Payton's POV

I look over at the clock, and see that its 2:46 a.m.  I wish I could sleep, but ths only thing on my mind right now is Tristana.

I wish I hadn't gotten so nervous when I was trying to ask her that question earlier, and I wish Tristan, and Paris hadn't came down stairs while I was asking.

I wonder if she's awake? She's probably not, and I should probably just let her sleep. I would feel terrible if I woke her up, and her volume is probably turned off anyways. Which if her volume is off , and she's asleep then she won't hear it so wouldn't wake her.

Forget it I'm gonna text her.

Are you awake?

Yep what's up?

Why are you not sleeping?

I can't sleep.

I know how you feel, me neither.
I was wondering if you mind meeting me downstairs in about 10 minutes? I really need to ask you that question, its gonna kill me if I don't lol ;P

Lol ok ill be down there in a minute.

Thank God she was awake.
"Please Lord give me the words to say to her. Amen.

I quickly, and quietly change into a black American Eagle T-shirt, a pair a jean pants, comb my hair over, and grab the room key.

I run downstairs, and sit down on the couch next to the fireplace. About 15 minutes later Tristana walks into the room, and sets down. I look over and notice the lady behind the counter staring us down.

"Do you want to go out side, and talk?" I ask Tristana.

"Is that the question you wanted to ask?" She asks. Me

"No, but the lady behind the couter is kinda freaking me out." I say.

She smiles then says " Sure."

After we get outside I start getting kind of nervous, and there's no where to sit down which makes things harder.

"Okay, Tristana I really need to tell you something, and I need to know what you think."

"Lord please help me this is not working." I pray silently.

"Before I say anything though I need to to promise me something."

"Okay?" She says with a confused look on her face.

"Promise me that no matter what I say to you in the next five minutes you won't let it change anything between us, your one of my best friends, and I don't want this to make you think any differently about me. Promise me that you'll be completely honest in your opinion, and you'll still talk to me after this." I say, knowing I probably sound crazy.

"Okay, I promise." She says, looking like she is still trying to process what I just said.

I smile. "Thanks."

"Okay how do I start this? The first thing I need to tell you is that you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. Every time I see you I get nervous. Because I know that no matter what I say, or do I will never be worthy to have you. You're so sweet, and funny, and kind. It's hard finding girls like you. I've liked you since the day I met you, but that 'like' just kept growing, and the more I got to know you the more I started loving you. Until now I can't hold it in anymore I have to tell you, or else I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to sleep again.
I love you."

I stopped, and looked her Straight in the eye. She started crying, and came in for a hug. I hugged her kind of confused. I look down to ask if she's okay.

Tristana's POV

I stand here speechless at first. Why on earth would he like a girl like me? Then he got to the end, and tells me that he loves me.

It had that same ring to it that I heard when dad used to tell me. I couldn't hold myself back I started bawling.

I know it confused him, but I couldn't help it I missed hearing those words so much, and now I'm hearing my best friend tell me. 

I look up at him, and he's  looking down at me with a worried expression. I smile at him, and hug him tighter

"I love you too." I say back
