Chapter 13

*Whitney's POV*

"ROBYN! YOU IDIOT!" Matt squealed.

"Shut up Matt, you sore loser" she replied.

Robyn, Matt, Vikki, and Ian are sitting around a table playing 'trouble', and I'm sitting around watching them. Naturally, Matt is losing so he is getting upset.

"You totally cheated just then!" He wined.

"Matt, just accept that you're losing and put you're piece back to home" Robyn said calmly.

"Fuck this shit" he said throwing his hands up in defeat.

"Matt! I need to win! Come back!" Robyn pleaded.

"Sure" he said slyly

Matt walked back over and sat down. He was smiling an evil smile. When Robyn was about to move her piece, Matt took the game board and flipped it so game pieces went flying everywhere. Two game pieces hit me in the face, but I didn't react. Josh was gone to buy cigarettes and it felt like the longest few minutes of my life.

"Do any of you guys know when Josh will be back?" I asked.

"He just left, do you think you're a little... attached?" Ian said, shuffling a deck of cards.

"No... maybe a little... but these are hurting times for me, so be nice." I said, while Josh walked through the door.

"Josh!" I screamed

When he came back, my whole mood changed. I don't know why I didn't just go to the store with him. Its probably because I feel like I'm up his ass a little too much lately.

"what's going on?" he said

"nothing, I'm just just glad you're back". I said

"I was only gone to the store for two minutes" he said taking off his sweater.

"I know.. I'm just lonely nowadays" I said, feeling like a lost puppy.

"Don't even worry about it." he said, kissing me on the forehead.

He took my hand and led me back into the living room where the rest of the gang was.

"What happened in here?" Josh said as he walked in and saw game pieces on the floor.

Everyone glared in Matt's direction, and he slowly sunk down in his seat.

"Matt lost, and he got mad. Are you new here?" Robyn said.

"I'm going to bitch slap you" Matt threatened Robyn.

"Ha!" Robyn said "I'm always the one who ends up beating you up".

Robyn was a bit younger than me, but we are about the same size. Her hair is shorter and blonder than mine, and she is a bit more masculine.

"Every time we fight, I win... if I don't, I let you win." Matt said.

"Oh please" she said " We have been friends since we were little, and you have not ONCE beat me up." She placed her hands on her hips.

"Oh, you wanna go!?" Matt challenged Robyn

"You better believe it!" Robyn yelled.

Matt walked quickly in Robyn's direction. He went to grab her, but she ducked. Matt backed away for a second.

"See" Robyn said "don't waste your breath"

Matt started doing weird stuff and it caught Robyn off guard for a second, so Matt charged at Robyn and wrapped his arms around her waist. He instantly tossed her over his shoulder.

"Guys, have you seen Robyn anywhere?" Matt asked while walking around in circles with Robyn over his shoulder.

"Matt! Put me down you little twat" Robyn yelled while squirming, and trying to escape.

The only thing the rest of us could do, is sit back and laugh. Vikki seemed very amused by them.

"You guys would be a cute couple" Vikki said.

Matt turned around and looked at Vikki, then he put Robyn back on the floor.

"Nah." Robyn said "me and Matt were friends since we were little, and I've never really thought of him as more than a friend... well maybe a brother."

"Yeah!" Matt started talking fast. "Just friends, nothing more. She's like my little sister, so it would be incest. I'm single right now, totally available." Matt smiled, turned to Robyn and messed up her hair a bit.

"What's wrong Matt?" I said

"Nothing, Whitney. There's nothing wrong. Why would anything be wrong? Haha". Matt said, looking nervous.

"Well..." Vikki said "I have a feeling I just made things awkward, so I'm gonna go".

"You don't have to go just because Matt is being awkward" I said "he is always like that"

"I have to go anyway" she said "I might be back later. I'll text you"

"Okay, bye" I said giving Vikki a hug.

As soon as we heard the door close, Robyn turned to Matt and violently punched him in the shoulder.

"Ow." Matt said gripping his shoulder blade.

"See what you did, Matt!" Robyn yelled. "You drove her away with your awkwardness"

Matt just stood there holding his shoulder.

"Bitch" Matt said "if you don't stop hurting me, I'm gonna..."

Robyn cut him off in mid-sentence.

"You can't do anything to me" Robyn said with her arms folded across her chest. "I'm a girl".

Josh laughed loudly when Robyn said that, I'm not sure why.

"No you aren't!" Josh yelled across the room.

Robyn stomped in his direction and he ducked behind me like a little girl.

Matt was still holding his shoulder, but he was laughing at Josh's remark.

"Anyways" Robyn said "I gotta go to work, and take care of people who aren't a bunch of twats"

"Bye bye" said Matt.

"Oh, but before I go I have to give you something" Said Robyn.

Matt wasn't paying attention to Robyn at that moment, which was a mistake because she leaned off and slugged him in the other shoulder.

"Ow!" Matt said with one arm on each of his shoulders.

Josh handed Robyn her jacket like a good host, and Robyn flicked him in the ear

"Ehhh, what the fuck was that for?" He whined.

"Don't question my gender, sweetheart" she said. Then patted him on the shoulder. "Bye Whitney! Talk to you later!" She yelled around the corner.

"Bye" I shouted back.

Josh entered the living room with his hand on his ear, and Matt was still rubbing his shoulders.

"She's a doctor, and these the reason everyone is in pain" Said Josh.

"No kidding" Matt said "I think Robyn dislocated both of my shoulders"

"So what's planned for the rest of the day?" I asked.

"Mike and I are going to Starbucks in a few" Ian said.

"I'll go, too" said Matt "maybe some caffeine will reduce some pain."

"What about you guys?" Ian asked Josh and me.

"I'm not up for coffee" Josh said

"Me neither" I said. Obviously I was going to do whatever Josh is doing.

A few minutes later Ian, Matt and Mike were trying to decide who is driving. They all got their jackets on and finally decided that it would be Matt.

"We're going now" Matt said "don't have too much fun without us!"

"Okay, bye!" Josh said.

Me and Josh patiently sat on the couch and waited to hear the door close. We heard Ian call Matt a little bitch, then the door closed behind them.

"YES! FINALLY" Josh yelled, jumping out of his seat. "Do you know how long it's been since we had time alone!?"

I don't know if he wanted me to answer his question, but he grabbed my hands and pulled me up off of my seat. He twirled me around like we were ballroom dancing, and then he hugged me from behind.

"So what do you want to do now that we have time all to ourselves?" Josh asked.

"I donno". I sighed, and then flopped back on the couch resting my head on a small pillow.

Josh noticed my depressed attitude, so he came to comfort me. He sat next to me, so my little pillow was now replaced with Josh's lap.

"You know, it only gets better from here". Josh said, stroking my hair.

I didn't reply. I just buried my face into his jeans, thinking I could fall asleep forever, and maybe I wouldn't have to deal with my horrible life anymore. I don't think Josh would have wanted that, because he keeps interrupting my thoughts.

"Well, I'm always going to be here for you though. Whenever you need a friend, ill be here." he said in a kind of funny, joking tone.

I couldn't help but smile. He is just too funny at times that I don't want to be happy.

When Josh saw me smiling, he smiled as well. He also thought that it was an invitation to be funnier.

Josh got up off the couch, and turned on the stereo. I'm not sure what song was playing, but it was fast and danceable, so he started dancing like an idiot. Everyone knows that Josh can't dance to save his life, but this was just ridiculous.

His crazy dancing ended when the song ended. The song playing now was slow, ballroom dancing material.

Josh slowly walked over, and stood up straight beside me. He popped the collar of his shirt and combed his hair over to the side with his fingers.

"Whitney, my love" he stretched out his hand for me to take. "May I have this dance?" He asked in a mature and silly voice.

"You need help" I said taking his hand in mine.

he pulled me off the couch and twirled me around before pulling me in. My right hand was in his left hand. His free hand was around my waist, and my free hand was resting on his shoulder.

"This is so stupid" I said giggling.

"Its romantic." He said. Then twirled me again.

He pulled me back in, and we swayed back and forth for a few minutes. I rested my head on his shoulder, and began to think about the past.

*It was almost end of the 6th grade, and there was supposed to be a graduation dance. It was going to be my first dance ever, and someone already asked me to be their date. I was so excited, but nervous at the same time because I didn't know how to dance. The day before the dance was here and I was pretty much freaking out. I thought I was going to make a fool out of myself in front of everyone. I finally came to the conclusion that I should ask Mason to teach me how to dance. I walked into his room, as he was picking out a dress shirt.

"Blue or green?" He asked, holding two different color shirts in front of me.

"Blue" I said. "Now that I helped you with that, I need you to help me" I said.

"What is it?" He said sighing.

"Teach me how to dance" I ordered him.

"Sure, its easy." He said.

He ran over to his record player, and turned on a soft tune. He took my hands, and placed them around his neck. Then he placed his hands on my waist. We swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the music.

"He will like it if you put your head on his shoulder" he suggested.

I put my head on Mason's shoulder.

"Am I doing it right?" I asked

"Yep. Now you know how to dance!" He exclaimed

"Thank you so much" I hugged him, and ran out of his room.*

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Somehow, I know that I can't stay away from Mason. Although I don't think I have much of a choice. It will kill me to face him again, but maybe this will all blow over... Hopefully.
