Tommy
I swallow hard and pray. And hope. I'm feeling more scared than I have since I was ten and scared of the dark. But the only way to find out how Kelly feels is to let her tell me.
Because I'm a coward, I start slow and open my arms to pull her into a hug. We both sigh as she comes gladly, smiling as she sinks into my chest. And it feels so good. So right. It always has. Ever since we were ten years old, Kelly and I just fit together.
It about broke me when she fell for Crash. Fourteen years old and I was just getting strong enough to be honest with her. Just realizing how important she was. Then one day I walked into the basement for practice and he was kissing her and my world kind of shattered.
