Thursday

Emily

My heart kinda hurts... That's an understatement! My heart hurts so much... I don't even know why. I should be happy he broke up with me. It'll be easier to be with Chris, but it still hurts! He kept calling my phone, but I wouldn't answer. He's the one that broke it off, I honestly do not want to talk to him because I know I would break down. I don't want him to hear me cry or see me cry. In all honesty, He did have a chance, if only he fought harder. I reached the house to find it empty, but there were sticky notes on the fridge.

Mom! We went with Chris to his tapping for Iceman! We'll make sure to come back early! We love you.

Arthur

I hope you don't mind me taking the kids to watch me act. I promise to bring them home as early as possible. Best friends can kiss, right? :*

Chris

I blushed and went up to my room. I locked it and changed. I sighed plopping on my bed. I looked at the ring and necklace they gave me for Mother's day. Come home soon... I closed my eyes remembering the break-up.

I frowned answering my phone from the night stand. "Hello?" I asked feeling an arm around my waist. I followed the arm to see Chris fast asleep beside me. I smiled remembering why he ended up here. "Emily?" Tom asked. "Hi!" I exclaimed a bit confused why he called only now. "We need to talk. May we meet somewhere?" He asked seriously. "Yeah, sure. Where do you want to meet?" I asked I felt the arm tighten around my waist. I smiled and caressed his cheek. "I'll pick you up in two hours." He replied in monotone. I frowned a bit worried. "Alrighty, then. See you later?" I asked as Chris held my hand and kissed the top of it. "See you later." He replied ending the call. "Was that Tom?" He asked frowning. "You're going to get a frowny line if you keep frowning." I said smiling at his cuteness. "Well, you can't keep me jealous, now can you?" He asked giving me a pouty face. I smiled pinching his cheek. "You're so adorably cute!" I exclaimed as he pulled closer so our faces were centimeters away. I could feel his hot breathe on my cheeks.

"I swear, I'm going to break-up with her." Chris whispered caressing my cheek. "That's still next year though." I replied sadly. "Yeah, but it's better than a sudden break up now and we both lose our careers." He replied pushing me down. "Chris!" I gasped as he fell on top of me smirking. "Get that dirty mind of yours in control. I have to go in two hours." I replied smirking. He groaned getting off me. "Best friends can kiss, right?" I asked as he plopped beside me again. He raised a brow, but smirked. He took my face in his hands and kissed me. I smiled as he slowly pulled away, caressing my cheek. "I love you, you know that?" Chris asked tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. He keeps saying that since Mother's day and until now, I don't know how to answer that. I want to say it back, but I just couldn't for some reason. We stayed like that for ten minutes until we decided to go down. We've been acting like we're together again after that day. It's amazing, really. "I know." I replied as we stared at each other. "Mom!" Arthur called annoyed. Chris groaned and answered the door. "Yes, Art?" Chris asked as I walked towards them. "Sebastian has Naomi." He replied smirking. I ran past them and heard the laughing and giggling. "Sebastian! Let Naomi go!" I exclaimed as he tossed her up again. "Nah, I wanna keep her." Sebastian said catching her. Naomi giggled as she reached for me. I smiled and took her from Sebby. "Did you have fun?" I asked she nodded smiling brightly. I smiled as well and kissed her forehead.

Chris came in after and we had breakfast. "Ems, may I talk with you for a sec, in private?" Seb asked as I stood up and followed him to the foyer. "Tom is planning to break-up with you." He said at last when were out of hearing range. "I had a feeling he was going to eventually."I replied a bit sadly. "Really?" Seb asked raising a brow. "Yeah, I mean have you seen the looks he's been giving me every time he sees Chris with us?" I asked raising a brow. "I'm sorry. Look, Ems, he really wanted to be with you before I even offered him a deal." He said shaking his head. "I know, he told me somehow." I replied sadly. "Really?" Sebby asked raising a brow. "Just leave it, Seb. I'll deal with it somehow when he tells me what he has to say." I replied smiling. He's going to break-up with me, I know that for a fact. I went to my room and changed. I guess I'm going to be hurt one way or another. I mean, I love Chris, but Tom... I don't know my relationship with him anymore. He's more than a friend, but less than a lover. I quickly wore my coat and walked down to wear my boots. It's rather chilly. "Bye, momma!" Naomi exclaimed hugging me. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Mimi! Don't run!" Chris scolded, stopping dead on his tracks. "You're really going?" He asked sadly. "Naomi, may you go to the living room, pleased? Daddy will play with you later, ok?" I asked smiling at her. She nodded and ran away. "No running in the house!" I hollered after her. I stood up and looked at Chris. He was walking away, but caught his wrist. He didn't say anything though. I don't want to do anything rash, but I want him to know that I...

"I love you." I whispered blushing. He immediately turned and raised a brow. "Did I just hear you right?" He asked. "You heard me." I mumbled looking away. "Please, just one more time." He begged wrapping an arm around my waist. I blushed still looking away. "I... I love you." I said a bit louder as he cupped my cheek and gently, forced me to face him. He caressed my cheek and tilted my head up. "I love you too." He whispered nearing my face. "Best friends may kiss, right?" He asked as I felt his hot breath on my cheek. I smiled closing my eyes. I felt him smile as he neared my lips. It was so gentle and loving and soft! I swear, he's a great kisser.

I pulled away. Chris groaned silently as he pecked my lips one last time, but kept the arm around me. "I'll see you later." He whispered pulling away completely. I smiled and fixed myself before answering the door. Tom smiled and hugged me. "Hi." I said hugging him back. "Hi." He replied pulling away. "Ready?" He asked grinning. I nodded as he pulled me towards his car. "Where are we going?" I asked smiling. "You'll know when we get there." He replied kissing my hand. I just smiled and looked out the window.

5:19pm

"We're here." Tom whispered as I woke up to see the beautiful view. We were at the side of the rode, watching the sun go down between two mountains. "It's beautiful." I commented as he hugged me towards him. "Yes, she is." He whispered nuzzling my neck. I smiled sighing. "I have... I have to tell you something." He whispered pulling away. I closed my eyes, turning towards him. "We have to break-up." He said as I opened my eyes. "Why?" Was all I asked. "You know why, Emily." He whispered coldly. I gulped looking away. I don't have a reply for that. "Emsy, please say something." He begged after a minute of silence. "Alright. I... I have to go." I replied getting my bag from the car and closed it gently. "Emily." Tom called as I continued to walk away. My heart actually hurt. I guess I did fall for him...

End of Flashback

I opened my eyes to feel tears falling down. I smiled frowning. Why am I crying? I should be happy, but I'm not. My phone rang and I answered it. "H-Hello?" I asked. "Emy? Are you crying!?" Oh no... Of all people who called it had to be him. My very best friend since childhood... Ella. "H-Hi, Ella! I-I'm not crying!" I exclaimed feeling more tears fall down. "You can't lie to me. You know very well that we have the same level of intelligence, but you're a bit more superior. Emy, it's been so long since you cried, what happened?" She asked worried. I smiled wiping my tears away. "Wait! Did Tom break-up with you?" She asked in an angry voice. I gasped covering my mouth. "Are you a fortune teller?" I asked feeling more tears fall down. "No, but he's here in the mall with another girl holding hands and he kissed her! I'm gonna give that asshole a piece of my mind!" She said furious. "No! Stop it, Ella!" I yelled through the phone. "Sorry about that, Em. She's just annoyed." Ella's boyfriend, Kenneth, replied. "D-Did you stop her?" I asked feeling another wave of tears fall down my face.

"Not exactly. She already punched Tom on the face saying he made you cry and he's an asshole. Right now, we're driving to your place." Kenneth replied sighing. I closed my eyes silently screaming on my pillow. "Hello? Hello? Emy? I'm really sorry, I just... I thought he'd be better than Chris who is another reason why we should talk. You're not only crying about Tom breaking up with you, am I right?" She asked as I nodded. We have a weird connection that way since even if I stay silent she actually knows what I'm thinking of as a reply. She's right, I'm also crying because of Chris! I don't know why I love him so much to get so stupid to cheat on Tom! "The key to your house is still under Moose's bowl, right?" she asked. "Alrighty then. It's settled. Babe, leave me there in their house. I'm gonna give her and her live in man a piece of my mind. Get ready, Emy. You're in for a hella long sermon. See you in a bit." She said sighing and ending the call. I smiled burying my head in the pillows.

6:32pm

"Wake up." Someone whispered in a creepy voice. I groaned annoyed. "What?" I asked yawning. "BOOO!" Ella screamed causing me to jump and fall out f the bed. "Ella!" I scolded rubbing my aching arms. "Sorry, it's just so funny scaring you." She replied laughing. I rolled me eyes as she helped me up. "We are going to get you away from Chris and the children first okay? You need time away from them. I already wrote a letter for them from you. Here, check if it's ok." She said handing me a pink scented paper. I chuckled opening it.

I needed to sort out some stuff about my feelings. Before you call, right now I'm telling you I won't answer no matter how many times you call. Tom broke up with me. Yes, he did. Don't go and start roughening him up, especially you, Arthur and Chris. I know both of you all to well for that.

I know it's too much to ask, but Chris, can you take care of them for me for a bit? I need time to sort out my feelings, please understand that. I love you all, hugs and kisses!

I smiled grinning a bit. "Oh no, you're gonna add something!" Ella exclaimed as I ran away and quickly scribbled out the phrase and my name then sealed it. "No fair." She grumbled as I put the letter on top of the counter with some muffins I made before I had a nap. I smiled and kissed the letter. "Where to?" I asked after packing some clothes. "My house!" She exclaimed pulling me out. I chuckled putting the spare key under Moose's bowl. I took my car keys and we ran to the garage. "Emy." Ella called. "I'm getting married." She said suddenly getting serious. "Really!? Congratulations!" I exclaimed as I backed away from the garage. "Yeah, but not to Kenneth." She replied looking out the window. "Then to who!? Who did I speak to awhile ago!?" I asked worried. "Kenneth is dead, Emy... You were talking to his best friend, Lance." She replied smiling at me. I gasped suddenly stopping the car. "Son of a bitch! Emy!" Ella scolded holding unto the handle on top of her head. I blinked and looked at her with disbelief. "You can't be serious!" I yelled glaring. She sighed shaking her head. "He died, Emy. He died trying to protect me." She replied covering her face. She started to shudder.

I parked by the side of the road then unbuckled my seatbelt. "Explain, El. Are you alright?" I whispered hugging her. "Let's drive home first. Don't fuss over me. Remember, we're in this car to sort out your feelings not mine." She replied smiling and wiping away her tears. I let go, buckle my seatbelt and drive towards Ella's house. I should've noticed! I'm so selfish!

Chris

I read the letter out loud until the last phrase, making me blush and smile.

Best friends can kiss, right? I'll miss you. :*
