My heart speeds up and my eyes pierce into Cali's as a cry for help as Cody settles in near me.

I should be alright I mean just talk to him as if we're strangers, can't be that hard right? Wrong, it's the hardest thing in the world. How can I just ignore the elephant next to me? We've been through so much together good and bad and I'm expected to just start over. I'm just supposed to act like nothing happened and be a happy stranger. It can't be done, it's just impossible.

What I'm feeling now is different from all the other times I've been near him. It's not boiling anger, or paralyzing fear it's more of an anxious feeling. It's like I'm all of a sudden nervous in a good way when I'm near him. My stomach is all in knots and I can't even bare to look at him without getting giddy. Even with the apology and just spilling our guts in my head it just seems weird but in my heart it feels right. Maybe it was because we spilled our feelings? It would make sense, we now know what we felt and just said it right there. I guess it's the fact I made the deal of trying to be friends so I'm nervous that I'll screw up. Or he'll screw up again.

I should be able to talk to him; we did kind of bury the hatchet yesterday night. The hatchet is still showing up but it's deep down in the ground to just forget right?

Whatever is making me feel this way, it better stop so I can try and have an actual conversation with him.

I look over at Cali and Maxx as he settles in near her a little too close for comfort in my opinion. He drapes his arm around her as I'm left just watching and getting a slight ping in my heart.

I don't mind them dating I really don't but it's just the fear of her forgetting me. I just don't want her to drop me out of her life because he's more important.

They give each other a peck on the lips and they both smile at each other, getting lost in each other. My mouth curves into a smile at how happy they look.

I take a glance at Cody who doesn't seem in shock over this. He probably knew about this before then. I just hope it wasn't longer than me.

Cali breaks this awful silence with a simple question.

"So what brings you guys here?"

"We just wanted food; actually that's what people do here right? Eat food?"

Maxx's sarcastic comment made Cali roll her eyes and a smile tugs at her lips. She playfully hits him as she mumbles 'asshole' under her breath.

A smirk pulls my mouth as I watch. They're kind of cute together I'll give them that.

"So what are you guys doing here? Same as us I guess?"

Cody's voice sends a jolt through my body and my hairs stand straight up. Why the hell am I so scared?

Cali takes a sip of her coffee as she nods.

"Yeah, I was hungry and Alice hasn't eaten in a while. Plus, I'd rather eat and listen to Alice talk about last night anyway."

I raise my eyebrow at Cali, sending her a glare as she caught what she said. I let out a sigh as I run a hair through my hair.

It's not a big deal anyway, if Cody can tell Maxx I can tell her it shouldn't be a big deal. I just don't want it to seem like I'm gossiping and talking shit. I was just telling her what happened.
