When I got home Bob was gone. Lia was napping on the couch. I swear this girl does nothing but sleep. How much sleep does one person need? Normally I would've tried to be quiet and not disturb her but fuck. This is my house. She slept all morning and all afternoon. I walk into the living room and turn the TV on. Loudly too.

"Hey." She mumbles sitting up.

"Did I wake you?" I say sarcastically. She doesn't seem to notice my tone and shakes her head no.

"Is Bob gone?" She asks. I look around.

"I think so." I say making a face. "His cars not outside so..." I get up and peek in the kitchen.

"Naw then he's gone." She yawns.

"How could you lose your boyfriend?" I tease her.

"He's not my boyfriend." She yawns again.

"Huh?" I yawn, now she's making me yawn.

"We decided to see other people." She says stretching out on the couch.

"What?!" I say a little outraged. "He told you that!" I yell.

"No!" she laughs. "I um told him." She says flipping through the channels.

"why?" I say sitting next to her. "Aw Li- why'd ya do that you really liked him." I tell her smacking her arm a little. She shrugs. "Well is there someone else?" I ask her and she shakes her head no. "Then what Lia?" I ask her and she just looks at me.

"Then nothing Elle." She says plainly.

"Well I mean come on Li. You were sleeping with him, I mean you must've been serious." I tell her and she shakes her head no.

"Okay first of all we only slept together once." She tells me. I look at her like I don't believe her. "I'm serious." She says. "It was one time only." She insists.

"Really?" I say in disbelief.

"I'm not like you Elle, I don't sleep with everyone I meet." She laughs a little.

"I do not!"I I yell at her and smack her with the throw pillow.

"Well maybe not everyone but you know what I'm saying." She apologizes a little.

"You were with Ray though right?" I ask and she makes a face.

"Uh no." She laughs. "I mean almost... it just didn't feel right." She sighs. I just look at her. I didn't know what to say. "You don't have to say anything Elle." She says like she's reading my mind.

"I don't understand why you and Bob-" I try to say and she holds her hand up at me.

"I'm moving in with Crystal." She tells me like its suppose to mean something.

"I know." I say nodding "But Bob-"

She shakes her head no. "But Bob nothing. You really don’t get it. Bobs been more of friend to me this last month then a boyfriend. We hooked up one time but that was it. Hes a good guy and that’s the problem.” She tells me and I just looked at her stupidly. “God, you really don't understand." She shook her a bit.

"No I understand. I understand that you're throwing away a good guy so you can go dance at that fucking club." I yell at her.

"Elle that's not-" She tries to say.

"Lia if you need money, I'll write you a check." I tell her shaking my head at her. She laughs.

"I don't want your money Elle." She says putting her hand on my leg and squeezing it lightly.

"Then what do you want?" I ask her and she smiles a little. She looked like she was about to say something and then changed her mind.

"You know that's your fucking problem Lia." I tell her and she frowns.

"Money?" She scoffs.

"No- intimacy." I tell her. "You don't have a problem dancing naked in front of a bunch of strange men but you cant get close to some one who cares cause you're afraid." I tell her. She makes a face. "Its true Lia." I tell her. "Ray cared for you and you pushed him away and now Bob-' I say and she cuts me off.

"So can we have Jello shots at my party?" She asks me getting up off the couch.

"What?" I say confused.

"My party tomorrow." She laughs.

"Oh its your party now?!" I laugh teasing her slightly.

"Well I figure it'll be my moving out party." She tells me.

"Lia you haven't even moved in yet!" I laughed. She smiled and went into the kitchen.

"well?" She asks me opening up the cabinets and pulling out the jello.

"I guess." I say and she smiles and starts pulling out all the crap we'll need. "Just don't make em too watery again." I tell her and she makes a face.

'Naw I got this down pat." She says grabbing the vodka from the dining room. Yeah that's what she said last time she wanted some Jello shots... We ended up drunk off our asses covered head to toe in Jello. Several hours and many 'trial' shots later Lia and I ended up in bed. In my bed, drunk off our asses and covered in Jello as predicated… I curled up next to her and she turned over so she was facing me. I was so close to falling asleep too when I felt her breathing on me. Her face was so close to mine.

"Get off my pillow." I moan.

"What?" She laughs. She sounded like she was wide-awake. I wonder why? Maybe cause she slept for 14 hours today?

"pillow..." I mumble. "off...you..." I grumble pushing her as hard as I could. Since I was drunk and tired I barely touched her.

"I'm gonna miss you Ellie." She sighs. I moan a little. She's keeping me up with her insanities.

"You're not moving that far away." I moan trying to squeeze my eyes shut. I mean Crystal lives like 10 miles away. Give me a fucking break. Its not like I'm never gonna see her again.

"I've been thinking about what you said." I hear her say softly as I drift off to sleep.

"mmm." I moan.

"I'm not gonna be afraid." I hear her voice say. "And if I don't do this now Elle, I may not have the guts to ever do it." She tells me. I was just about to open my eyes and ask her what the fuck she was talking about when I felt her lips on mine. She had climbed on top of me. Her breasts pressing against mine. She ran her tongue along my bottom lip and on a reflex I opened my mouth slightly. She pressed her tongue into my mouth and I felt her hand moving up my side slightly. This all happened in like one second. I couldn't even catch my breath.

Then the phone rang. It rang so loud she jumped off me a little startled by it. I reached over and grabbed it off my nightstand. I had my nightlight on and I could see Lia's outline faintly in it. She was still on top of me. Sitting upright. I couldn't see her face though.

"Hello?" I say into the phone. Lia didn't move. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming. I mean how many jello shots does it take to make you make out with your best friend?

"You still up?" I hear Gerard's voice on the phone.

"mmm Gerard." I sigh. Lia still doesn't move.

"You okay?" Gerard laughs a little. "You sound a little um..."

"Drunk?" I offer.

"Uh yeah." He laughs softly.

"Lia and I made jello shots for her party." I tell him.

"She's still there?" He asks. I nod. "Elle... is she?" He repeats it when I didn't answer.

"I said yeah." I tell him looking up at her. "I just told you she's on top of me actually." I tell him

"No you didn't tell me that." he laughs a little again.

"Didn't you see me nod?" I say confused.

"Naw baby." He laughs again. I don't know what the fuck is so funny.

"hey why are you calling me so late?" I ask him looking over at the clock on the wall. One hand was on the 1 the other was on the 2. I'm not sure what time it is but it was definitely late. 1:10? 2:05?

"I couldn't sleep." He says softly.

"Hey which hand does what?" I ask him still staring at the clock.

"Huh?" He replies.

"On the clock Gerard." I say pointing at it getting a little frustrated.

"Why don't you just get some sleep Elle." I hear him sigh.

"Wait, are you saying you called me and woke me up so you could tell me to go to sleep?" I say smiling into the phone.

He laughed. "Um yeah I guess I did."

"Oh Gerard." I sigh.

"well that and that I love you." He says softly.

"I love you too." I say pulling the phone closer to my ear and smiling. Lia groaned and got up off me. I hear her go into the bathroom slamming the door slightly.

"Elle?" I hear Gerard's voice.

"mmmm?" I mumble.

"Hang up the phone baby I'll see you in the morning." I hear him say.

"Okay." I mumble feeling for the off button. I must've managed to push it cause it turned off I guess. I drop it on to the floor and roll over curling up in the warm spot Lia left...

I woke up in the morning alone in bed. Lia was in the shower. I don't know if the alarm didn't go off or of she turned it off but I was gonna be late... I grabbed whatever clothes I could find and popped a few aspirin as I ran out the door. I know I'm forgetting something but I cant think of what it is...My head was throbbing. I was so hung over it wasn't even funny. I ran out with out my coat...Aw fuck it. I don't have time to go back... It's not even that cold out... Okay maybe it is but I seriously don't have time to go back...

I made it into Home Ec just as the bell rang. It was so loud too. I felt it vibrating in my skull. I was so fucking tired I sat down next to Paul and I didn't even care.

He looked over at me and smiled. I was not in the mood. He reached over and put his hand on my leg. I looked at it.

"why are you touching me?" I ask him a little nastily too.

"Oooh rough night Elle?" he chuckles a little at me. I didn't answer him. "Come on you can tell me." He says squeezing my thigh.

"If you do not take your hand off me in two seconds Paul I'm gonna scream." I tell him. He lifts his hand up.

"You forget something today baby?" He says to me. He's looking me over smiling that creepy smile of his.

"What?" I say moaning a little.

"mm I don't know..." He leans over and whispers in my ear. "Maybe um... your bra darling?" He says licking his lips a little looking at my chest.

Holy shit! He was right... Fuck...

"Here you can have my coat." He says grabbing his varsity jacket off the back of his chair. I wasn't gonna take it. I mean the last time I had his coat on was when he gave it to me that day at the library when... when... "Elle." He said softly looking into my eyes. He knew what I was thinking. "Just take it." He says.

I hesitated for a moment and then took it from him and sighed. I guess it was better than sitting in class in a shirt that was practically see through with out a bra. I look over at the smug look on Pauls face. Hmmm... maybe its not...
