What happens after you're in the friendzone? You get drunk, you cleanse yourself of that person and you move on.

Step one wasn't so hard, well it was because because I wasn't going to settle for a beer so I managed to fill a glass with every sort of opened bottle of alcohol I could find in mom's stash. It was bitter and disgusting because of the ten different things I mixed because I couldn't have mom finding out that I went through her stash. She would kill me.

The next step sounded simple but when the time came to take off the necklace Bellamy once clasped around my neck, I really couldn't do it. I found myself awfully attached to the little metallic pendent but it had to be done, so I removed it.

Step three was a little difficult because everyone decided to hangout for a day and of course Bellamy was  there. He acted normal and I tried not to scoff at him each time he said something to me.

Today I had to accompany Natasha to dinner. I slipped on a blue dress that I would actually wear to a party but it wasn't dinner with my boyfriend so I guess it was alright.

Natasha looked stunning as ever and I knew I hard to keep that stupid brother away from her. I was introduced as her cousin who living with her so a while which is why I tagged along.

Her parents gave me the eye but I couldnt care less. At least it boosted their liking for my friend. I immediately had to start prying off Toby's brother, Colton.

He was very intimidating and I could see how easily he distracted Natasha. She was beyond nervous and I was glad Toby did whatever he could to keep things normal. Colton was those bitchy people that couldn't see anyone happy. He would say something that would make his parents ask Natasha for her opinion and if she didn't give the correct answer, this would definitely be her last dinner here.

When Toby couldn't help anymore, he gave me a pleading look. Up till now I tried to bring up things where Natasha could easily impress his parents but that clearly wasn't working. Colton was a sadistic bitch who was having too much fun ruining his brothers life. 

I had to kick it up a notch and the only thing I could think was physically distracting Colton, who sat next to me at the dinner table.

The way I suggestively moved my fingers on his thighs made it clear that I had lost all dignity and self respect but that didn't stop me. 

Colton glanced at me while I kept a straight face and sipped my glass of water. When he didn't show any reaction, I firmly rubbed placed my hand on his thigh I little higher than necessary. From the corner of my eye I could see that he completely turned to face me. He cleared his throat to grab my attention but I only smirked.

He then took my hand and moved it from his thigh to mine. "Everything alright?" he whispered into my ear. I guess it was working.

"I don't really know," I said in a low whisper. "Need help figuring it out?" he said in a husky voice. "Why the sudden interest Colton?" I said loudly in a playful manner.

Everyone gave us a suspicious look for a second before returning to their conversation. He raised his eyebrow at me as the smirk stay on my face.

"I was wondering how long you could wait." He said as he started to caress my thigh. I would've stopped him but dinner came to an end and everyone stood from their seats.

"I think you're the one who's going to be waiting." I patted his chest and made my way over to Natasha.

"Thank you for the lovely dinner Mrs. Reese," I said as she only gave Natasha a hug, I didn't mind though. I wasn't proud of myself tonight.

After spending another ten minutes trying to leave we finally made it to my car.

"Oh god,  you have no idea how much I love you! You turned this disastrous night into the perfect one! Toby said they actually liked me." She said as we drove to her house.

I nodded the entire time as she explained the night with all of her reactions as if I couldn't tell what was going on in her head.

"Do you mind if I crash?" I asked as we rounded the corner to her street. "Sure, just park beside dad's car." She said.

I decided to park a little further ahead. Natasha asked why but I didn't say anything. We walked inside her house and as she called for her mom I started to run up the stairs with my heels in my hand.

"What are doing?" she asked. "Goodnight," was all I said before opening the door to Keith's room.

"Hey there," I said as I saw a half naked Keith lying on his bed watching the TV or maybe he wasn't naked but he shifted upwards when he noticed me.

"Are you doing yourself?" I gagged as I asked him.

He laughed and shook his head. "Why would you think that?" he said as he stood up and walked towards me. I was glad he had jeans on.

"Never mind, can I stay the night?" I asked him. A grin appeared on his face. "Of course you can." He said as he hugged me. I heard the door lock behind me as I wrapped my hands around his waist.

"You look beautiful," he said when we parted. "Thank you," I said before making my way to his bed. He joined me and lied close to me. I shifted closer to him and rested my head on his bare chest. He placed his hand around my waist and we silently lied there for a while.

"Is there any occasion for dressing like that?" he asked after I while.

"Just had dinner with a fuckboy." His grip around me tightened but nothing that would hurt. "Nat made you do it?" he emphasized on the word you. I nodded my head.

"If you delete Colton from the equation, I think they'll be a happy family. His parents loved her and hated me." I chuckled.

"Oh, I'll delete him." He muttered. I rolled my eyes and closed him briefly as I focused on the sound of his heart beating. 

"Keith," I said after a while. His breathing was deep and slow and I wondered if he had fallen asleep.

"Yup," he said causing me to look at him. "Why haven't I met your parents yet? I mean, I've never seen them around." I said. "I know, and it's all a part of my plan." He said with a sly smile. "What plan?" I asked.

He shook his head and closed his eyes.

"It's a surprise princess." He said. I frowned and folded my arms as I sat up. "Oh come on, you'll know soon enough," he said but I wasn't buying it. "I promise?" he gave me a pleading look and I pouted but still gave him my pinky finger. He hooked his pinky with mine and as we laughed.

I yawned and he did immediately after. "Can you get me something to wear?" I asked as I stretched a bit. I was feeling too lazy to go to Natasha's room.

"You can wear something of mine." He pointed to his closet. "Lazy ass. It's too far." I said. He laughed at me. "Well looks like I'm not the only lazy ass here," he said.

I rolled my eyes and stood up. I took off my dress in the process and scoffed as Keith whistled at me. I threw the dress at his face and walked to the light switch.

"Told you you'd choose me by New Years." He said. I turned around to face him.

"You were serious about it?" I asked.

"Hell yeah, princess." He said with a grin.

"Then forget this ever happened. I'm going to chase Bellamy until he gives in." I said as I unlocked the door.

"Hey! At least have sex with me." He said and I rolled my eyes at him.

He stood up and dropped his pants on the floor.

"Go take a cold shower." I told him as I giggled at him. "You started it. You can't expect me to not feel anything when you look so sexy in that lingerie." He frowned and took my hand in his.

"Firstly, I'm not wearing lingerie and secondly, I just came here to cuddle but seeing that I have someone else to impress, I'm going to leave."

"I honestly thought you were done with him. You're not even wearing the stupid necklace." He said as he ran a hand through his hair and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Well, he friendzoned me and I thought of letting go but I'm not going to lose to you either."

"If you really want him that bad then make him jealous rather than bring clingy." He said.

"That won't work. I was with Luke and he did nothing." I said.

"That's because you picked the wrong guy. I can't believe I'm saying this. Princess, I really like you. Why can't you see that? Me and you were supposed to kiss when we met again," he said.

"And we did," I interrupted.

"We were supposed to do more than just that. You were supposed to be my girlfriend like you would've been if that fucking Trace didn't screw things up. I dropped out of college to get my shit right so you wouldn't have a reason to say no to me. And look at us now, you're crazy about my best friend who can't man up to accept his feelings and I feel like a fucking retard." He was pacing back and forth and I flinched when he punched the wall beside him, leaving a dint.

I sighed and put his shirt on before slumping down next to the wall. He was right, this is what was supposed to happen. That's what I wanted since I met him but it just wasn't meant to be. He makes me happy but I don't feel the things I do when I'm with Bellamy.

"I know this will sound stupid but every time I touch Bellamy, I feel a spark. It's something I've never felt before and I crave it. You're right, I'm crazy about him but no matter how hard I try I can't stop these feelings for him. He nearly kissed me, Keith and I can't describe how fast my heart was pounding. I wanted to kiss him so bad but I chickened out and then he pulled back. I wish he did have feelings for me but he doesn't. You're wrong about that."

I wiped away a few tears and took a few deep breaths. After getting all of that out of my system, it only made me more attracted to him.

"You completely ignored my confession." He said as he slowly sat beside me.

"I'm sorry, Keith. Maybe we what happened to us was for the better—"

"Don't you ever fucking say that again princess. I'm ready to kill that bastard the next time I see him." He said through gritted teeth.

I took his hand and rubbed my thumb against his skin to calm him down.

"I didn't mean that." I looked at him and I couldn't help but notice the sadness in his features. "What if we ended badly? I need you in my life but—"

"You never know if you don't try." He said.

"I can't. It doesn't make sense, I don't like you in that way and you don't give me goosebumps when you touch me either. The good kind that makes your heart tingle." I explained.

He laughed. "If you can't be with me then I won't stop you from bring with someone else. Just know that I'll always be here for you."

"Thanks for understanding," I squeezed his hand and he shook his head.

"You have until New Years." He said as I stood up.

I smiled and left his room to go to Natasha's. She was already asleep so I got myself shorts from her closet and lied on the bed next to her.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll confront Bellamy and get the answer I want.
