would only
be able to tamp it down for a little while. Truth be told I was surprised he
made it this long, but then again he’s been avoiding her. Ever since he saw her
again he’s been more on edge. He’s still waiting for her to talk and it’s
frustrating the hell out of him that she won’t. She hasn’t even tried to
contact me which pisses me off so I understand. I don’t know what’s
going on with her but she’s got Landon so crazy I don’t know when he explodes
if he’s going to try to knock her up or knock her out. I shook my head,
“message received.” I told him and disconnected.
LUCY
I was at the airport waiting for Mel
and Erica. I was so excited because I had missed them so much. I needed the
girl time and the feel of home. Naiyla is great but it’s not the same. She just
doesn’t know me and my life that well. They did and they were exactly what I
needed right now. I’ve been more depressed this past week then since I left
home. I wished a few dozen times to reverse the clock and relive the days we
were all together and happy. Like during last summer when we were having fun
and life was drama free.
“LUCYYY!” I heard on a high pitch
squeal. I spun around to see Mel and Erica bouncing over to me. I smiled wide
and waved. Mel ran up and hugged me tight before kissing my cheek. Mel snatched
me from her and did the same. They were here for Nick’s first game and well
because Mel missed him and probably had a massive boner for him right now. I
could definitely relate to that. We had a couple of hours to pass before the
game so we decided to head to my place.
Naiyla was there when we arrived and
I made introductions. Her and Mel instantly hit it off and started talking
about track in the living room. I took Erica into my room to get her situated.
“So Lucy, what’s been going on?” she
asked.
I shrugged, “nothing. Just school you
know?” I told her.
Her eyebrow went up, “you know what
I’m talking about. Have you seen or spoken to Nick or Landon? You know we’re
meeting Landon at the game and he’s sitting with us.” She told me.
I sighed, how could I forget that? “I
saw Landon.” And Erica broke out a smile. When she saw my wary stare her smile
faded a bit. “He came over to pick up Naiyla for a date.” I informed her.
She scowled. “He’s dating your roommate?”
she asked.
I nodded, “guess so. He came to pick
her up to go out a week ago. I haven’t asked about it because it’s not my
business and I don’t want to know.” I admitted and she nodded.
“What are you wearing today?” she
asked.
I looked down at my Ohio State
sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. “This.” I told her confused.
Another scowl. She keeps that up her
face is going to be like that permanently. “You are not. Now go wash your ass
while I raid your closet.” I frowned and she crossed her arms and glared daring
me to argue. I threw my arms up in frustration and went to wash.
In true Erica fashion she picked out
something stylish and sexy. I frowned at her.
“Erica no.” I said shaking my head.
She threw her hands on her hips. “And
why not? It’s cute!” she argued.
I raised an eyebrow in challenge. “I
know you and your tricks. This is not cool.”
Now she raised her eyebrow, “What
trick Lucy?”
“You know Naiyla is coming with us
right?” I asked.
She nodded, “yea and?” she
challenged.
I waved a hand at the clothes, “I
know this is about Landon.”
She gave me a confused look. “Who
said anything about Landon?” she asked.
I groaned. I knew I was right but she
wasn’t going to cave. I got dressed and we all just hung out and talked until
it was time to leave. We all piled in my car and went to the game. On our way there
Erica texted Landon and he said he’ll wait for us at the entrance. When we got
there it was packed, it took us a few minutes to find him. When we did Erica
threw herself onto him and he caught her. There was no denying how much
