"Lee? No.. y-you wouldn't do t-that to me." I said turning around to walk out when my arm was grabbed. I followed the arm to its owner to see Lee with pleading eyes for me to say.

"Let me explain. Please." He said looking at both of my eyes back and forth quickly searching for some peek at my emotion. "You have two minutes before Ethan c-comes in here to kill you, so I s-suggest you leave now." I said looking down.

"I'll make it quick." He said. I bit my lip and nodded. It's your funeral. Whatever he says won't make this better.. I won't be able to forget the things he 'said' to me, those disgusting and-

"Liv.. I've been in love with you since seventh grade.. but you never loved me back. I figured if you didn't know who I was you would give me a chance, stupid I know. Liv I don't want to lose you." Lee said grabbing my hand intertwining our fingers like we always do. I looked down at our hands scared that what he's doing feels so foreign and wrong to me now. I used to be able to hold his hand all day long.

"What you s-said made me really uncomfortable.. a-and scared." I said quietly not being able to look at him. "I know baby, I'm sorry. Now you know, no more secrets.." he said with a crack in his voice undressing the feelings laced in between his words.

I flinched in my seat from the sound of the loud obnoxious bell, that hangs over the door of the cafe.

"Liv please be mine.. I love you." Lee said looking deeply into my eyes. My throat went dry and I felt my heart clench. I fought to fight back tears and I was brought out of my haze by a loud deep voice.

"What the fu-" I cut off Ethan by standing up taking my hand out of Lee's. "I'm sorry if my friendship isn't enough f-for you, but I don't see why I have to o-open my legs for you to want me." I said quietly turning around. I kept my eyes on the ground avoiding the states from the people sipping their tea.. huh ironic.

"Come on bud.. don't make this hard." Is the last thing I heard before walking out of the cafe, and back to the car. I got in and just looked out the window. Nick got out of the car, leaving Max and Grayson with me.

"Are you okay bubba?" Max asked breaking the silencet. I bit my lip and nodded as a rogue tear fell down my cheek. No emotion was shown on my face.. I don't know what emotion is should have.

Mad for what he did. Sad because I lost my best friend since sixth grade.. or shocked, because a boy is in love with me..

It seems as if the majority of girls at my age are waiting for a boy that will love them. I found one, and yet it doesn't feel right. Lee loves me..holy cheese.

After a while of sitting and watching the clock on Ethan's radio move, the car doors finally opened. Nick got in the front and Ethan in the drivers seat. I saw the bloody and bruising knuckles on them both.

I leaned into the center console to see them. I gently grabbed each of their hands inspecting them closely. "You guys are hurt." I whispered looking at their split knuckles. "It was worth it neonata." Ethan said Ethan said looking at me.
(Translation> babygirl)

I leaned over and kissed Nicky's cheek. "Thank you Nicky." I whispered quietly. I turned and kissed Ethans cheek. "Thank you Ethan.." I said even quieter and I don't know why. The silence was broke by a deep voice.

"Um my turn?" Grayson said in a duh tone. I giggled and sat back in my seat resting my head on his shoulder. "I'm tired." I said yawning.

I closed my eyes and felt a blanket of tiredness coat my whole body starting at my toes, stoping at my eye lids. I closed my eyes feeling completely relaxed and the last thing I remember is the deep accented voice.
