Falling For You

Chapter Fifteen!

Elena’s POV

 I took a step out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my body. I walked out of the room to put on my outfit for tonight.

 Wait. Outfit? Why would I need to get dressed up if we’re just going to watch movies?

 Shaking my head, I put on a pair of jean shorts and a red v-neck. After Liam called back yesterday, we decided to watch a movie at his house since we haven’t watched movies together for a long time.

 We both ended up talking on the phone for a couple of hours. It felt so good to just talk to him again about everything. We caught up and put all awkwardness aside. He even apologized to me and said it was stupid that we were ignoring each other. He said he was sorry for kissing me and it was because we were so close and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

 I forgave him of course. For thirty minutes, we were arguing with each other about it being whose fault. He claimed that it was his and I claimed that it was mine because I didn’t try hard enough to talk to him. But the past is the past and we’re going to act like nothing had happened.

 I glanced at the clock and it read 5:30. I should get going now since I need to be at his house at 6. Better to be early than late.

 I told my mom that I was going to Liam’s house and she seemed really happy about it. She was happy that Liam and I aren’t avoiding each other anymore. I was shocked that she knew because I never told her but I guess it was obvious since Liam used to come over literally 24/7. Anyway, she and Mrs. McHolden are like best friends since like high school or something, of course they would be talking. They as in my mom and Liam’s parents were going to go have dinner together soon at a restaurant so it was just going to be Liam and I in the house.

 I smiled to myself remembering a memory of me and Liam when we were kids. We were 13 and we would always attempt to get out parents to go out or something so we can get the house to ourselves. Since my mom didn’t allow us to eat too much sweets so we don’t trash the house due to a sugar rush, she would hide it from Liam and I. When my mom went out, we would go on a scavenger hunt finding the candies which we would always find since it was always in the same place. We would eat all the candy then go to the market to restock it so my mom won’t notice that the candy was all gone. Smart huh?

 I walked out the door and was suddenly nervous. I knew I shouldn’t be but part of me couldn’t help but to think that things couldn’t be the same anymore. It was still going to be weird at times because of our fight that lasted for like a month or so? The other part of me couldn’t wait to see my best friend again since I missed him so much. Before I knew it, I was in front of Liam’s house.

 I thought to myself that I was so lucky I didn’t get hit by a car since I was so lost in my thoughts. Pessimistic much? I pushed away the part of me that thought that things were going to get weird and ran to his door ringing the door bell.

 My heart beat picked up as I saw his face and I attacked him not a second after he opened the door. I didn’t even notice how much I missed the smell of my best friend. I felt his arms wrapping around me kind of crushing me but not at the same time. It was actually pretty comfortable. Warm and inviting.

 “I missed you so much.” I mumbled into his chest, still not letting go.

 “Not as much as I missed you.” I smiled as he told me that. I knew he meant it and that made me really happy.

 After a good five minutes, we finally let go. I said hello to Mrs. McHolden and instead of replying, she gave me and hug then quickly ran out the door. I guess she was running late? She was supposed to meet my mom at her house five minutes ago and Mr. McHolden was supposed to meet them at the restaurant.
