There was this day some time ago when I was a little kid, when it snowed a crap ton. I mean as far as I was a live, that was the most snow we have ever gotten. I think it was about 42 inches. My cousin and aunt and mom and I, we all went out to play in it. It was fun, we threw snowballs at each other, mostly in the face. We grabbed a top off of a basket bin and slide down the steep hill that was in back of the house. My cousin kept going down the hill on his belly yelling he was a penguin.
It was so funny that I literally peed my pants. It went threw my pants and underwear and it made the snow beneath me yellow. My cousin came up to me and said that I was standing in pee snow and started laughing. I didn't even look down because I already knew it was there. He took notice that I wasn't laughing then in started to click in his head that I made it there. He told our parents that we were going to go find some other things so slide on and we went into the house.
Once we were in he told me to go change and he would cover for me. Ever since that day he became my best friend. Of course he always brought it up and made me feel stupid but I always loved him for it.
The day he left for college was one of the saddest days in my life. We talked for the first few years but then for some reason he stopped. I don't know why and I still don't know. I thought it was because of school and sports and all of that, but he just literally stopped calling me. And it was hard on me because I had my first love and he wasn't there. I had my first and hardest heartbreak and he wasn't there. I was a little upset but I didn't let it get to me.
But it did get to me when my mom died and he wasn't even at the funeral.
That got me pissed more than anything. I called and called but I guess he changed his number. I took extreme measures and went up to Kentucky and went to his college. I saw his basketball coach and I asked if he has seen my cousin lately. His smile of seeing me slowly faded as he put his hand on my shoulder.
He told me that he dropped out of college and left. Last he heard was that he was on the streets selling and taking drugs with some people he became friends with. My heart started racing. I had lost my mom and I lost my best friend.
I had stayed in Kentucky for a few days and one day I got a call. It was from a hospital which caught my attention. I rushed to the hospital and once I got there I saw my cousin laying in a bed with a crap ton of strings and wires attached to him. It turns out I was his emergency contact.
I walked into the room and slowly shook my head. The person who I looked up to was laying in a bed in the hospital because of an overdose.
His eyes opened and once he saw me he smiled. But I didn't. I told him if he lives I will make it my mission to personally kill him myself. He closed his eyes because he knew he fucked up. I sighed as I sat in the chair next to him.
A few months later is when he actually started to get his life back together. It took a lot of work and a lot of yelling but we got there. Now from what I hear he is fully sober and has three kids and a wife. What got him sober is my mother. I told him about her and he sat in his room for three days straight. He was disappointed in himself that he couldn't be there for me. I also told him about my first love to which he just hugged me and let me cry. We became closer within years and now we have the relationship that we started off with.
Leo is, was, and has also been my best friend. And right now I need him. I called him and told him I needed to speak to him. He agreed and said that him, his wife and kids will make a trip down here this week. It brought a small to my face to know that I will have something to take my mind off of everyone.
I was currently wrapped in Melanies arms. Her smell also intrigued me as to how she makes it smell like that. I know I sound like a creep but she is still asleep and I have been awake for hours. I didn't want to move for fear of waking her.
Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Her eyes started to flutter open as her smile appeared. "Its to early to be smiling." I said. She chuckled at this and leaned in and planted at long and nice kiss on my mouth.
"Well your to beautiful not to smile at." I weakly smiled and nodded my head.
"Well I'm sorry to kill your morning but I have to go." I tried making my way out of her arms but she just held on tighter to me.
"No you don't." Her light brown eyes peirced through mine. I looked down and sighed.
"Can I at least make a call?"
"Your not using that phone unless someone calls you." As on cue my phone started ringing. She glared at me as if I planned the damn thing. Her grip loosened enough to allow me to grab my phone off the stand.
I saw that the ID name was Layla. I sighed as I answer it. Before I could even say something Melanie took it out of my hand and put it on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hey you. Your up early." I said.
"Just wanted to see how excited my girlfriend is about me coming back home tomorrow morning." Melanie looked at me with confusion but then realized and glared at me. I ignore her and continued to talk to Layla.
"Oh trust me. I'm ready." She started to chuckle and I could tell she was biting her lip.
"Since we are dating I have not fucked anyone here which I am okay with because I have you. But on the other hand I am horny." I chuckled.
"Well I'll be ready when you get here."
"Well turns out I will be home earlier than I thought, so I'll be there before you even wake up." I smiled.
"Ok. Can't wait. Bye."
"Me neither. Bye, I love you." My smile turned into a frown as I heard those three words leave her mouth. I didn't know if she really said it or if it was just me. I looked at Melanie and confirmed my answer with the shock and anger written all over her face. I heard Layla say something else but Melanie ended the call.
She threw my phone across the room and straddled me. Her hand found its way to my throat down the choking me. "Do you love her?" I tired to remove her hand but she didn't budge. I accidentally moved my head up making her have perfect access to my air way. Her hand slid down making me lose all oxygen. "Do you love her?!!" I quickly shook my head as she let go of my neck.
I bent over the bed and started coughing. Once my air was in control I felt a tug on my hair. I was pulled up by Melanie. "Good. Then we don't have to get rid of her. Now lets go eat breakfast." She smiled as she got out of bed and put on a robe while walking out of the room.
I sat on the bed wide eyed with my hand still around my throat. What did she mean 'get rid of her'?
*********
Ok so it turns out Nate and I were in the same school district in high school. Which I find pretty funny because we've been friends for over seven months now and we never knew that. So whenever Nate told me that his old high school is having a reunion and he said the name of the school it blew my mind. "How did you know that we were having a reunion?" I asked.
"When was the last time you checked you email?" To be honest I have been avoiding opening my emails. I opened my phone to see that I did in fact get a invitation.
"Well it looks like were going to a party." Nate threw his hands in the air and screamed 'oh yeah.' I chuckled but stopped once I saw the devil herself looking at us. She narrowed her eyes at me as I went back to looking at Nate.
"Wait a minute." I looked at him as he stares down at his phone. "Its tonight at 6:00pm. My eyes went wide. It's fucking 4:30! I started rushing Nate towards the elevator.
"Go get changed and everything then meet me at my place by 5:45."
"What about work?" I pushed him into the elevator.
"Don't worry, I got it covered." The elevator doors closed as I turned around to see Skylar staring at me. Fuck Nate owes me for this! I walked up to her and whispered in her ear. "Can we talk in your office?" She nodded her head and we went to her office.
Once the doors closed she looked at me. "If your about to ask me if you and Nate can leave early to go to a party the answer is no." I knew she was listening to us. "So call Nate and tell him to come back." I sighed.
"Please. It's a High School reunion and I really want to see my old friends." That wasn't really true. I kind of hated everyone there.
"My answers is no?" I groaned.
"Please!! I'll do whatever you want?" Damn it. I regretted it as soon as it came out my mouth. Skylar started to smirk as she came near me.
"I live to hear those words" she backed me up to her desk and put her hands on my thighs. "So if I let you and Nate go to this reunion, what do I get out of it?"
"I said whatever you want not whatever I want." She grinned.
"I want you to break up Layla." I rolled my eyes.
"I am asking to go to a party, not to sleep with your wife." Of all things I could have compared it to I don't know why I said that.
"So you want to sleep with my wife?" You would be surprised over how many times I already have.
"That's not what I said." She gripped my thighs.
"Good, because if you did I would have to kill you." I gulped. "How about you have to come with me on a trip for three days, alone." I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Fine." She smiled.
"Good. You can go." I nodded my head as I tried to hop down off the table. She stopped me grabbed my chin. "I want a kiss first." I groaned. She slapped me on my thigh causing to flinch. "Whine again and I swear I will bend you over this table and smack your ass until it's black and blue." I put my head down.
"I'm sorry." She chuckled.
"That's my good girl." She pulled my head back and shoved her tongue in my mouth. I moaned at the contact and wrapped my legs around her waist. Her hands caught my legs and her lips moved down to my neck.
"Skylar I have to go." She growled into my ear and smacked my thigh again causing me to moan this time.
"I want you back here by nine sharp." I quickly nodded my head as she let go of my legs and I walked out of her office.
Nate owes me so much!
*******
I think someone is watching me. I keep looking around but every time I do there's no one there. I keep thinking that maybe its me being paranoid because Nate says that maybe there is someone staring at me, but I know he makes it in a joking way. But to me, it actually does feel like someone is staring at me and I don't like it.
We made it to the reunion and let me just say. I fucking love it! Everyone looks like shit except a few people. All the jocks had beer bellies, the cheerleaders turned into Soccer mom's, the mean girls look worn out from all the kids and baby daddy's they have to deal with. I chuckled to myself as I looked around.
Nate and I are like the only good looking ones around. We we're sitting on the stage looking over people and seeing how much they've changed. "Oh look at Sabrina." I turned my head to where Nate was pointing. Sabrina is Nates ex girlfriend. She had cheated on him with one of the jocks.
She had on a tight blue dress that showed the waist trainer she was wearing. Her make-up looked like shit and her heels are tacky. Don't get me wrong. I was never the type of person to judge but like come on.
We started laughing until someone interrupted us. "Well, well, well, look what we have here." I turned my head to see the last fucking person on this earth I wanted to see.
April.
Now if you don't remember April was the person who told everyone about Amy and I. My smile turned into a frown as I glared at her. "Well look who it is. The whore of the city." I said. Her face looked like she was getting ready to say something snarky back but instead she said something I didn't think was capable to come out her mouth.
"I'm sorry." My jaw dropped. "I know what I did those years ago wasn't so pleasant." I rolled my eyes.
"You mean ruining my life yeah. Wasn't pleasant." Nates eyes went wide.
"You were the one who told everyone about her?!" I chuckled.
"Yeah she was. And I don't accept your apology. Nate let's go." I jumped down from the stage and so did Nate.
"I did it for a good reason. You two weren't going to last. It was for the best." I slowly turned around and glared at her. Oh this bitch just messed up.
"You are out of your fucking mind. You think it was for the best! She fucking left me without a word and I was heart broken for years! You were just fucking jealous! You slutty as bitch, you are a fucking idiot and will always be! I can't fucking stand you and I will never forgive you!" And with that I walked away.
Nate soon followed and patted me on the back. I chuckled as I got into my car. Nate got in to and started up the music. I sighed as of everything about my past started to pop up. My eyes got watery but I kept blinking them away because I was driving. I sighed even louder as I remembered I have to go back to the office.
"Hey Nate." He turned to look at me. "I have to go back to the office and finish some stuff. You can take my car and come get me in the morning." He nodded his head as we pulled up to the large building. We got out and he came over to my side. We hugged then said goodnight.
As he pulled out I saw a black car that was barely noticeable. It had parked across the street but no one got out of it. I ignore it and went up stairs.
I walked into the building that showed no life and went to the elevator. There is a clock in there I and realized I was thirty minutes early. Once I was on the top floor I stepped out and saw Skylar and Melanie sharing saliva.
I gaged a little but was also turned on. I had a little to much to drink so my mind isn't as clear. I didn't want them to catch me looking at them so I cleared my throat. They stopped and looked at me. Melanie smiled once she was me and Skylar looked at the clock. "Well your early." Skylar said and chuckled.
Before I could say anything the elevator opened. I turned my head to see Layla. My eyes squinted at her and my mouth opened a little. "What are you doing here? I thought you said you going to be here until tomorrow morning?" I moved over a little as she came closer to me.
"Well you hung up the phone before I could finish talking this morning." I squinted my eyes at her.
"I'm confused. You came all the way back to talk about a phone call?" She sighed.
"I said I love you then you hung up." My memory started to come back and I heard Skylar choke on her spit. I looked at her as she glared at Layla. Before anyone could say anything the elevators opened again. This time my vision went to a blur.
She stepped out of the elevator and looked around until she caught my eye. Everyone stared at her as the room to me became dizzy. She stepped out of the elevator and smiled a little. "Hey you." My mouth fell open more as a tear fell from my eye.
"Amy?"
