Young Lies

51 ❥ can we start over...as friends?

Yep, I called them.

There's no way I could get Jess to leave the house on my own.

"Well, I'm fine as you can see. I'm showered and I'm eating." He shrugs before making his way to his desk chair.

"We're going out!" Lina says.

"No thanks," Jess says.

"Come on man!" Xander groans.

"Let's go ice skating at Rockefeller center!" Madison suggests.

"Ooh yes!" Ryan cheers.

Everyone else agrees except for Jess.

"That's okay Jess, Lili can just skate with Cam," Lina smirks.

That causes Jess to clench his jaw and get up.

"Fine." He sighs before putting on a pair of converse.

"Yay!" I cheer.

Xander and I go to Jade's room to ask the girls if they want to come with us.

Everyone agreed and we took two cars and made our way into the city.

"Holy shit it's busy." Axton groans.

"Obviously, it's the end of January." His brother replies.

We all wait in line to get our skates and make our way onto the ice.

The three girls immediately begin racing each other around the ice while the rest of us try not to slip and fall.

"I forgot how much I hate ice-skating," Madison complains while holding onto the wall for dear life.

"You literally were the one to suggest it."

"Well...you guys shouldn't have listened to me."

While we're skating, I look behind me and notice Jesse is nowhere to be found.

"You have got to be kidding me!" I groan.

"Watch out Lili!" Someone yells.

But it's too late, by the time I turn back around, I crash into someone which causes us both to fall onto the ice.

"Jesus Lils, I think you just gave me a concussion." Cameron laughs while sitting up and rubbing his forehead.

"Sorry," I mumble but to my surprise, he just laughs it off and helps me up.

Cameron...being a gentleman...I'm shocked.

Maybe I'm the one with the concussion?

I quickly try to feel my head for any bumps but nope...nothing.

"Where's Jess?" He asks.

"No clue. He was behind me a minute ago."

I look all around the ice to see if I could spot him but he's gone.

"Come on Lili, you gotta let go of the wall eventually." Cameron laughs.

"I will...soon."

"Your definition of soon could mean anything."

"Shut up."

He doesn't say anything, instead, he skates back over to me, grabs my hands, and starts helping me skate around.

Let's get one thing straight, I know how to skate, I just haven't gone in a while so I've kinda forgotten.

"Remember that one time we tried to do the jump from 'Dirty Dancing' and I ended up breaking my arm." He asks.
