Chapter 6 "The Secret Revenge" By: BSBCHIC692
Something More Than Friendship?
Everyone was wearing Khaki. All the girls were wearing short shorts, and
all the guys were wearing the long, type of shorts. "So, who's tagging along
with us?" B-Rok asked. "Um…Me, Kev, you, Nick, Kim, and Georgeanna." "Why
isn't AJ or Howie coming?" "Well, AJ doesn't want to be there when I buy my
wedding dress. And I have no clue about D." "Oh, I can understand AJ's
point of view. I kinda feel bad for him. Don't you? In a way?" "Yeah, in
a way. I do feel bad, but I've moved on. I don't love him like I used to."
"What day's today?" Nick asked. "September 5, why?" "Nothing, just
wondering." I looked around. "I think I'll go talk to AJ, I feel bad. Talk
to ya in a few." I ran upstairs to AJ's room. I knocked. "Come in." I
opened the door and AJ was sitting his bed, reading a book in his PJ's. "Oh,
hi. What are you doing up?" I was about to answer, but before I could say
anything, he said, "Oh yeah, never mind," and went back to reading. I put my
head down. I felt horrible. "Listen, AJ, I'm sorry but-" he cut me off by
saying, "I know. I'm sorry I'm not coming, but, it would be…." His voice
trailed off. I saw him put the book down beside him, and put his hands over
his face. He was slightly trembling. I knew what was happening. He was
crying. "Oh, AJ…….please don't do this to me," I said as I pushed the book
over and sat beside him. I put my arm around him. "Please, talk to me.
Tell me why you're crying; when you talk about it, it helps you. Please talk
to me." He looked up. He was crying. There were pink circles around his
eyes, and his nose was getting pink too. His eyes were slightly bloodshot,
and they were filled with tears. "Oh my God, AJ, please don't….." I hugged
him. I don't know how long we stayed like that, just holding each other, but
it seemed like forever. Finally, he put his head up and looked at me
straight in the eye. He didn't have to say anything. I knew what he was
trying to tell me. 'Why. Why are you making me cry like this? Don't you
love me anymore?' That's exactly what he was saying in his eyes. Just one
look, and I fell apart. I crumbled like an ancient castle. I wanted to make
his tears go away, like I used to do to my younger siblings, by kissing them
away. I wanted to so badly, but I knew that it wouldn't be right because I
was getting married soon, and kissing someone on the cheek is just as bad as
kissing someone on the lips. We were still staring into each other's eyes,
and I had to do something. I wiped his tears away, not knowing what else to
do. With my hand on his face, he put his hand over mine, and held it tight.
I was so heart-broken, and stricken with his tears, I began to cry, too. "Oh
AJ. See what you've done to me?" I told him as I went back to hold him. He
just stayed silent, and we sat there for a while longer.
After holding him for a while, we heard a knock on the door. We looked
at each other. What was the person at the door to think if the person saw
him crying? AJ took a deep breath, still recovering from all the crying we
both shared, and said with his voice trembling a bit, "Who is it?" "It's me,
Georgeanna." We looked at each other again. We both knew what the other was
thinking. 'Uh-oh.' "What do ya want?" AJ asked. "I just wanted to know
what Cordy was doing, cuz she was taking so long, and I wanted to know how
you were." "What'll we do?" I whispered to AJ. "Tell her……umm……that…um…..I
don't know!" he whispered back. "Do we tell her that you're crying? How
about we just let her come in. She loves you." "Okay, Come in." Georgeanna
opened the door and in a split second, when she saw AJ crying, she ran over
to him, and pushed me out of the way, and took my place where I was sitting.
I decided I'd better leave. I was about to walk out the door when Georgeanna
asked, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" I turned around, and she was staring at me
with eyes that glow. "I-I-I-I-I-I…" I didn't know what to say.
"Georgeanna?" AJ asked her. "What is it love?" "She didn't do anything.
She just came up and wanted to see how I was. I was fine, but when I thought
of what she was shopping for today, a wedding dress, and it broke my heart.
I thought of when we were together, and how we laughed, and talked, and
hugged, and kissed. It brought back so much. I couldn't handle it, and
instead of it coming out by talking, it came out in tears. Don't get angry
with her. If anyone's to get angry at, it's me." She just stared at him.
She put her head down. Then, she turned to me and said, "I'm sorry. I
just..well..you know." "Of course. If I came in, and you were sitting with
Kevin, and he was crying, I'd have the same reaction." I turned back around,
and started heading through the door. "Cordy, wait," AJ said. He got up
from the bed, and stood in front of me. "Can I…um…you know." "AJ, you don't
have to ask." I gave him a big hug. I realized something while I was
hugging him. When you break-up with someone, you think they have no more
personal meaning to you, but you are totally wrong. I thought I had no more
feelings for AJ, but I found myself to be wrong. My feelings were still
there, they were just hidden. And when I was in the room with him, holding
him, and trying to help him, I dug deep enough, and found those feelings. I
didn't love him like I used to, and I knew I never would. But he would
always be that special friend that everyone longs to have. I didn't have to.
He was it.
