I threw my some clothes into my bag, grabbed the money I had been saving and shoved it into my bag, slipped on a black jacket over my black t-shirt. I also had on black pants and some black tennis shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror, grabbed my make up bag and shoved it into my bag as well. one last glance at myself in the mirror, and I punched it, causing it to shatter. It had cut my hand, but I didn’t care at this point. I went to my window and opened it, throwing my bag out the window. Suddenly there were loud knocks on my door and my parents were calling to me.
“Honey, unlock the door. We need to talk.”
“Go away!” I screamed and put one foot out the window and swung my other leg over. I was on the second floor of our three story house and I was sure glad of it. I would rather climb down the tree this way than have to jump into the tree if I were on the top floor.
“Unlock this door right now!” he shouted, and I balanced myself on the edge of bricks that went under my window. Once I was on the side of my window, I reached the top part and began sliding it down as much as I could; if they got into my room they would have to take the time to push it up again. I scooted myself to the right and reached for the tree limbs, ignoring the shouts of my parents. I climbed onto a limb and began lowering myself to the ground. I heard my door swing open; they must have found the key. It only took a moment for them to realize I wasn’t in the room. I climbed down even quicker and my feet finally touched the ground. I grabbed my bag and ran, I could hear my mother screaming to me to come back, but I didn’t. I quickly swung my car door open and threw my bag in the back, slamming the door shut. I started the engine right as my father came running out the front door. I quickly put it in drive and floored it, causing the wheels to screech, and my father ran back to the house. I guess he was either going to call the cops or come after me in his own vehicle, but I had already cut the phone lines and hid their car keys, so they wouldn’t be able to do much for a while.
It didn’t take long for me to get onto the interstate and I knew they wouldn’t find me now. Unless they sent a helicopter after me, there was no way they could find me. I held the paper with the address in my hand; I couldn’t wait to get there. It was where my love lived, and there was no doubt it would be my new home.
Silence was not something I liked very much, so I turned on the radio. I mentally slapped myself for forgetting my iPod. First there were only news clips, and finally some music came on. “All The Things She Said” by t.A.T.u. came on and I smirked; I loved this song.
I thought about everything that had happened in the past few weeks while driving: I wasn’t sure how or why it happened, but it did, and somehow, it felt right. We were at a party, a normal high school party one weekend, and we were sitting next to each other and suddenly Skyler kissed my cheek. I looked back at Skyler, shocked. I never thought my best friend would kiss me; it was startling. I could tell Skyler felt a little surprised by it as well, and somehow I felt as if Skyler felt embarrassed about it, and sympathy swept over me and I kissed back. Before we realized it, we were making out, much to the teen age crowd’s amazement. Embarrassment took over us both, and we quickly hopped in my car and left. I brought us to a place where we could talk. I parked my car in the nearby Wal-Mart parking lot, killed the engine and looked at Skyler.
“What was that? Why did you kiss me?”
Our eyes met, and I could tell Skyler had mixed feelings and was unsure as well; “I don’t know. Suddenly, I just felt like kissing you, and… I did…” Skyler looked down, as if still trying to figure it out.
“Do you like me?” I asked; trying to figure it out.
“I-I always have, but not like this-”
“I mean do you like me as in you want to kiss me and get to know me better, kind of thing.”
Skyler half-laughed, “I already know you; we’re best friends.”
I smiled, “That’s true.” We had a moment of silence, then I knew we had to settle it. “So, why did you kiss me? Do you just want us to be closer friends, or even more?”
“I, I don’t know. Well, ” Skyler looked back down, then looked back up, “whatever you feel.”
“Me?” I asked gasping. “Well, I-I don’t really know. I’ve always thought you were attractive, but I guess not for myself, I mean, I’m not sure either-”
“I love you.” Skyler suddenly said and I looked up, eyebrows furrowed.
“What?” I asked; not sure what she said and what she meant by it, but I soon knew when it was said again looking into Skyler’s eyes.
“I- I love you.” Skyler swallowed with nervousness.
“I love you two.” Somehow, I wasn’t sure, but I realized I loved Skyler the way she loved me.
AN: Just so you all know, I am not a lesbian, but the song "All The Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. inspired me to write this. It's mostly an experiment, to see if I can actually write it. If you know me well, then you know I love making challenges. :) So, please review so I can know how I'm doing. Thanks!
