Chapter Eight

            Last night was the best night of my life. I feel like I got so far with Spencer and that we are getting closer than ever before. It’s now Saturday though and Becca is back. Aiden and I agreed that we wanted to take her out to the movies to help get her mind off of everything. I haven’t talked to Spencer since last night and it’s driving me insane. I just want to hear her voice so bad. But, today is about Becca. She really needs us today. I know she’d never admit it to either one of us but we can tell. I don’t think things went well with her mom because I can tell she’s been crying.

            “Have you guys picked out a movie yet?” I asked coming back into my room after showering. Apparently I should have thrown on more than a towel though because they are both just looking at me with wide eyes and jaws on the floor. I can’t help but to smirk as I walk into my closet throwing on jeans and an old band tee.

            “Uhm yeah I decided that I want to see Dear John, I could use a good romance movie right now,” Becca says ignoring Aiden’s grown and eye roll at having to sit through another chick flick. He has seen almost every chick flick ever thanks to Becca and me. I personally think he actually loves them though he’d never admit that. He is a very sensitive guy. He balled like a baby during The Notebook. He went through an entire box of Kleenexes alone. He has since refused to watch that movie with us, though I know that he still watches it because I went over to his house one day and caught him watching it. He doesn’t know I know that though. He’d definitely be embarrassed. He likes to keep up his tough guy persona.

            “That sounds awesome Becca and afterwards we can go to your favorite diner and grab a bite to eat. Treats on me, I’m just glad to have you back. I missed you. This house is way too lonely without my best friend around to bug me,” I laugh as I dodge the pillow Becca threw at my head. It times like these that I love. It makes me feel like that even though we all have our own struggles in life we can still have fun and be great friends. All we need is to be there for each other.
