Eternal Emerald, chapter 2
‘Oh guys please you don’t have to show your affection to eachother in a place you’ll get caught’, Mike said shocked. Tre froze and then moments later turned around.
‘Oh I did not need to see that’, he said, he’s voice being squeakier than usual. Billie got up off Steph and started laughing to himself.
‘We’re sorry’, Steph said, grabbing her shirt from the ground and quickly putting it on.
‘Yeah we didn’t think you two were going to be back so early’, Billie said, putting his arm around her.
‘Yeah well next time warn us’, said Tre walking into the kitchen with a grin on his face.
‘He seems to be in an awfully good mood’, Billie pointed out.
‘Yeah, there’s a girl’, Mike told them rolling he’s eyes.
‘Oh really? How sweet! He’s in love’, Steph said making kissing noises, ‘I’m gonna go talk to him’.
Steph got up and ran into the kitchen to find Tre. He was at the sink washing his hands and singing.
‘So tell me about this girl’, Steph said walking up to him, ‘What’s she like?’.
‘The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen’, Tre said starry eyed.
‘I thought I was?’, Steph joked with him, ‘So what’s her name?’.
‘Linda. Aww it suits her so much’, Tre said, forgetting that the water was on in the sink.
‘Wow you seriously are head over heels for this girl’, Steph said smiling. It was so nice that Tre had found someone. He deserved to since he had, had he’s heart broken not long ago. They were silent.
‘So when are you asking her out?’, Steph asked curiously, turning off the water as it had risen higher and the sink was almost over flowing.
‘Well I’m outta here in a few minutes to. Do I look okay?’, he asked, questionably.
‘Yeah you look good. You always do’, Steph said, trying to relax him and boost he’s self esteem a little. He was always shy around new girls, and Steph wanted this to work out for him. They waled out into the lounge together and then Steph locked the front door behind Tre as he left.
‘Where’s he going?’, Billie asked sitting next to Mike on the couch.
‘To ask her out’, Steph told him, watching Tre walk away though the window. She went and sat down on the other side of Mike.
‘So Mikey.......’, Steph said breaking the ice. Mike turned his head and looked at her. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. Billie did the same. They looked at eachother and burst out laughing.
‘Geez, you two are just as bad as eachother’, Mike said, wiping the kisses off of him.
‘Here Steph give me a kiss’, Billie asked, leaning over Mike. Steph leaned over as well and gave the kiss.
‘Billie that’s disgusting’, she said pulling back slowly letting drool fall down into Mike’s lap.
‘Ahh you guys, that’s grose’, Mike screamed in horror trying to get the drool off of him. Billie and Steph burst out laughing again.
‘God, you two are immature’, Mike said, pushing them away as he got up to go change his pants.
‘Do you think we pissed him off?’, Billie asked, watching Mike walk away.
‘Nah he’ll be fine. Now where were we?’, Steph asked, kissing Billie again. They continued until Mike returned. He watched them carefully before sitting back down, making sure he was a step ahead, just incase they tried anything.
The 3 of them watched TV for a while in silence. Steph’s phone started ringing. She answered:
‘Hello......Oh hi.........Yeah sure are you alright?....You wanna talk about it!.....Alright, which bus stop.......Okay stay there I’m coming’.
‘Who was that?’, Billie asked concerned.
‘Ahh Tre’, Steph said shaking her head, ‘He ran into a problem. I’m gonna go get him’.
‘Alright, you want us to come?’, Billie asked. Both he and Mike were concerned and worried.
‘No its alright, just I don’t know, don’t make him think about her when he gets back’, She told them, picking up her coat and running out off the house.
With in 10 minutes, she was at the 402 bus stop. Tre as he had told her, was waiting there, looking miserable. She sat down beside him, and started to rub his back.
‘You wanna talk about it?’, she asked him straight out.
‘There’s nothing to talk about. She told me she’d never date a drummer. She’s going out with Josh. He wasn’t happy to see me there and well I’m heart broken once again’, Tre muttered out. He’s eyes were filling up with tears. Steph moved closer to him, and gave him a hug. He winced in pain, because of the cuts and bruises on he’s back he had gotten while in a small fight.
‘Aww, Tre its alright. She doesn’t deserve a guys like you. You’ll find that perfect girl soon trust me’, Steph said, rubbing his back gently.
‘Yeah, but she’s beautiful. I liked her. I don’t understand why I don’t do well with women?’, he said.
Steph was about to say something but she was cut off by Tre sniffling out words.
‘I mean, I want to find that special girl. I want a girl who thinks I’m special. I want a girl I can hold and call my own. A girl who can cry into me and I can tell her everything going to be alright. I want a girl to kiss me goodnight, and then kiss me again in the morning. I want to be able to tell someone that I love them’, he blurted out, in pauses between crying and sniffling.
‘Tre. You are special. You don’t need a girlfriend to tell you that. Your special to me’, she told him from truly from her heart.
‘Yeah but, your differently. You can’t tell me I’m special, you’re a friend. I can’t hold you and tell you I love you’, Tre said. Steph wiped the tears from he’s face and made him look at her. She started short conversation with him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Do you remember who gave me my first kiss?’.
‘Yeah it was me’.
‘Do you remember, who the first guy was to walk me home?’.
‘Yeah, I did’.
‘Do you remember who sat there and took care of me when Billie pushed me out of the tree house?’.
‘I took care of you’.
‘Do you remember who came and visited you in hospital for a month when you hurt yourself?’.
‘Yeah you did’.
‘Do you remember who cried and cried with you, when her hamster died?’.
‘Yeah you did’.
‘And who went out the next day and got her another one?’.
‘I did’.
‘And who’s right here with you now?’.
‘You are’.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘See Tre, you are special to someone. You have held someone all those times. Someone has cried into you all those times’, she told him smiling, ‘And just because I cant say ‘I love you’ to you as more than a friend, doesn’t mean I cant say it to you at all. You’ve always been there for me. You’ve always taken care off me. You are special’, Steph told him, giving him a kiss on the cheek and hugging him. They sat together, in the darkness of the night for a while longer in silence.
‘Do you think there’s someone out there for everyone?’, he asked her.
‘I don’t know. There has to be though’, she said convincingly ‘Come on, I’ll take you home’.
She pulled him up off the seat, and they started waking home together..
‘Oh I did not need to see that’, he said, he’s voice being squeakier than usual. Billie got up off Steph and started laughing to himself.
‘We’re sorry’, Steph said, grabbing her shirt from the ground and quickly putting it on.
