So Close, Yet So Far Away
Chapter Seven
We were all sitting in the living room ready to watch Saw III. I sat in between Johnathan and Angela. We covered ourselves with a blanket and had a bowl of popcorn sitting on my lap.
"Let the screams begin!" I announced.
I looked at the corner of my eye to see if Johnathan laughed or smiled at my lame joke. Shockingly, he did.
"You're so lame." Johnathan said as he looked into my eyes.
We had some sort of moment.
"Alright. Shush! The movie's starting." Angela said.
"Alright mom!" Johnathan said.
Thirty minutes into the movie, I saw blood. As soon as I did, I shielded my eyes. I hated stabbing, killing and basically, anything that would result in blood. It would leave me in disgust.
I unintentionally hid my head under Johnathan's arm.
He whisphered, "You're scared?"
"No, but blood is just... not for me." I said, still having my head underneath his arm.
He giggled as he threw a piece of popcorn in his mouth.
"Well, the part's over. You can look now." Johnathan told me.
I slowly lifted my head up and looked up at the TV screen.
About an hour and a half later, the movie ended.
We had all fallen asleep on one another. I had fallen asleep on Angela's shoulder and she had fallen asleep on the armrest of the couch. As for Johnathan, he fell asleep on me. When I woke up, it was around 7pm. I woke up to find Johnathan already awake.
"Hey." Johnathan softly said when he saw me wake up.
"Hey. How long have you been awake?" I asked him while rubbing my eyes.
"Just got up. You're comfortable to sleep on by the way." He chuckled.
"Glad you enjoyed sleeping on me." I said, letting out a smirk.
"The lazy bum is still asleep." I said, looking at Angela.
"Yeah. So, uh, have any plans for tonight?" Johnathan asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"No, not that I know of. Why are you asking?" I said, running my fingers through my hair.
"Well, there's this party happening tonight at like, 9 or 10 at my house and I was just wondering if you can come." He said.
"You know, with Angela." He quickly added.
"Yeah. I can go." I said with a smile on my face.
"Great." Johnathan said while looking into my hazel eyes.
As I smiled, I looked down.
"You know, today was fun." He said.
"Even though we spent most of it sleeping, but it was fun." I laughed.
"I meant, you guys are not like Stacy. Stacy seems so different from you guys." Johnathan said.
I smiled because that probably meant that he liked me more than Stacy.
"I love Stacy and all, but..." He added.
Never mind. He doesn't like me more.
"But what?" I hesitantly asked.
"I don't know. You see, that's just it. I don't know where our relationship is going." Johnathan said as he looked at me.
"What do you think I should do?" He asked.
"I-I..."
Was all I could say because just then, Angela woke up. I felt relieved because I had no idea what I was going to tell him. I was never good with relationship advice because I have never had a boyfriend before. So, I wouldn't know how to cope with problems like these.
I looked at Johnathan and whisphered, "Sorry."
"No, it's okay." He said as he grabbed his things and headed for the door.
"Hey! You're still gonna come to the party, right?" Johnathan asked.
"Yeah!" I replied.
"Party? What party?" Angela asked.
"Party at Johnathan's house." I smiled.
