The Freak With The Pink Hair

I Bet

"I have something for you," Dean said, looking at Addison who was on his bed, lying on her stomach, face first in a book

"Oh yeah?" She asked with a smile, sitting up next to him

"It's not much," he said and handed her a tiny velvet box and Addison's heart leapt out of her chest. Did he get her a ring?

She opened it and no, it wasn't a ring but it was actually better. It was a guitar pick, with a picture of Dean kissing Addison's cheek airbrushed on it

"Do you-do you like it?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck slowly while he tugged his bottom lip into his mouth. The way Addison was looking at it, almost like she wanted to cry, he didn't really know what to expect

"I love it." She whispered and then smiled as she hugged Dean, he was so thoughtful. There was no doubt now that she had feelings for him

Dean smiled and buried her face into her hair, he loved the smell of it

When they pulled back, Dean couldn't keep the smile that was on his face off. It felt permanent as he looked into his best friend's eyes. He looked down at those glossed lips and put his hand on her cheek and slowly leaned in, pressing their lips together. He felt her gasp against his mouth before her hand came to tangle in his pink hair and she pressed him closer

She was smiling into the kiss until she felt Dean freeze and pull back, she opened her eyes and saw him tugging at his hair and angrily pacing and she stood up and pulled him into a hug

"Fuck-I'm so sorry Addison," he told her and she just looked up at him

"I shouldn't have done that. I'm so stupid," he reprimanded himself and she shook her head

"We're okay D," she said and he smiled and she thought it was the right moment to tell him how she felt about him

"That kiss was a mistake," he said and instantly her mouth clamped shut

She stayed silent a few moments before she forced a smile

"Right," she agreed and he smiled at her

"Wanna keep studying?" He asked and she bit her lip

"I think I'm gonna go. I'll see you tomorrow," she said, taking up her belongings and waving to him as she left

When she got home, she sat down on her bed and just listened to herself breathe for awhile

-The Next Day-

"Hey Adds," he greeted and she smiled slowly, still kinda upset about last night

"Hey D," she replied, closing her locker

"Wanna hang out later?" He asked, playfully elbowing her and she smiled, reaching up and tucking a strand of his pink hair that had fallen loose, behind his ear

"Of course," she replied and he smiled widely

"Good, cuz I got something to tell you." He said, nearly bursting with excitement and Addison nodded with a smile

Dean didn't join her for lunch which was weird but she dismissed it to he probably just got caught up. She smiled as she leant against the tree that Dean had carved their initials into and she ran her fingers over the marks with a fond smile on her face

The bell rang and she walked into the school and over to her locker to get her books out, she had biology right now and she smiled, class with Dean.

She smiled when he plopped next to her

"Hey," he said with a smile and she noticed that his smiles had grown bigger and brighter and she had a feeling it was because of her

"Hey D," she replied as he smiled at her then looked to the front as the teacher began talking

Later on, Addison was at her desk in her bedroom when the window opened, she just smiled, knowing who it would be. She turned and smiled. Dean had made it his mission to never use the door, instead take the ladder from where Addison's old treehouse was and put it against the house, climb up and slide through the window

"Hey D," she greeted and he smiled and sat on her bed

"You say you had something to tell me, what's up?" She asked, turning back to her books and picking up her pencil

"Oh yeah," he said, like he was just remembering what he had to say

"I met a girl," he said and just like that, Addison felt like she was suffocating

"Oh?" She asked, trying hard not to crush the pencil

"Yeah, her name's Renee," he said dreamily as Addison turned to him

"She's so beautiful, and nice and sweet and just-wow," he said, smile on his face

Addison bit down hard on her lip, looking at him

"She sounds great," she told him

"She is," he confirmed, and Addison nodded, playing with the loose thread on her pajama pants, not really wanting to meet Dean's eyes

"She's the perfect girl Addison, beautiful blonde hair, brown eyes, man, I think I've finally got it right." He said to her and she forced a smile

"We have a date tomorrow, I have nothing to wear, do you think we could hang tomorrow and you can dress me for the date?" He asked and she smiled

On one hand, she didn't want to be involved in the date planning since she had feelings for Dean but at the same time, she didn't wanna be selfish, cuz hey, he was her best friend

"Sure." She agreed and he smiled

"Thanks Adds, I'm so excited!" He squealed and she smiled

"I bet." She replied, just listening to him talk about this Renee girl. How she was so beautiful and she's a cheerleader and she's the nicest girl he'd ever met and wow. Addison never felt this pain in her life, unrequited love, damn. She didn't know if to smile because he was her friend, or cry because that's all he'd ever be

But still, she smiled and nodded as he continued talking.

The next day came way too quick for Addison's liking and here she was, in the hallway, staring as Dean stood next to a blonde girl, who she assumed to be Renee and she watched Renee put her hand on Dean's bicep and throw her head back in a laugh. She sighed as Dean looked at her with all the fondess in the world as she did

"You like him don't you?" She heard next to her and she jumped slightly at the sudden voice and she turned her head to see the two toned football player, umm, Sid?

"That obvious huh?" She asked, turning back to the sight in front of her, only to see Renee whisper something into Dean's ear and he smiled widely. She felt a comforting hand on her shoulder

"To everyone but him," the guy replied with a sad smile, he was watching the pair to

"I'm Seth," he introduced, putting out his hand, she mentally cursed Seth...that was it! Who the fuck was Sid? She smiled and shook it

"Addison," she replied and smiled at him

Addison sat down in the kitchen, looking at the guitar pick she had in her hands, Dean would be over in about 2 hours for her to help him pick an outfit for his date and she never dreaded something so much in her life
