Inseparable

• Chapter 8 •

"Wait, who asked for your number?!" I asked excited to hear which hot guy it was.

"Oh sorry..." She says sheepishly, "it was Kyle!"

I almost chocked on my water I was drinking! What!? The?! Hell!?

"Wait what?! Kyle?! I was expecting some hot guy and all you have to say is 'Kyle?'" I said a little too harshly. I could see Faith deflate like a balloon.

"Wh-what's wrong with K-Kyle?" She asks quietly.

"No no no. I'm so sorry. That's not what I meant. I'm so sorry Faith. It's just I wasn't expecting that douche to ask you for your number." I say quickly trying to get her spark back. I felt terrible that it was me to deflate her happiness.

It was kinda like a fire. Like how when a fire is dying you have to give it some more air, so you blow on it. And sooner or later you get your spark back. Well sometimes, sometimes you aren't as lucky and your fire just dies. And I think that's what happened.

"You know what? I thought you'd be happy for me!" Faith stands up and leaves the table, and walks right out of the cafeteria.

I groaned loudly and I felt a hand on my back. "Ughhh! I just really hate that guy, I wasn't expecting it was him, I-I overreacted. I should've thought before I spoke."

"Hey just give it some time, I'm pretty sure she will cool off and I'm sure you will too." Evan says wrapping his arm around me. I put my head on his chest and tried to control my breathing.

"Ya Hope, I bet you and Faith have never been in a fight for longer than two days!" Ashlee was right, we haven't.

The bell rang signalling that lunch was over and that we had to go back to class. How was I suppose to concentrate on school when I was in an argument with Faith?!

"Hey you okay to go to class?" Ashlee asked, genuinely concerned.

"Ya I'm fine," I say automatically.

I walked over to my locker, grabbing my books. Evan decided that he wasn't gonna leave me until class, so he walked me there.

"Are you sure you okay?" Evan asks still concerned.

"Yes I'm fine Evan. It's okay. Like Ashlee said we probably won't be fighting for even 24 hours."

Or at least I hope so....

><><><><

I got home a little bit later than usual, because I had some stuff I had to work on. I figured I wasn't gonna be able to focus at home, so I just stayed in the library.

I walked home, even though it was a thirty -forty minute walk. I enjoyed walking it gave me time to think.

I'm gonna make up with Faith. I know it's the right thing to do, and I know that if I don't try and make ends meet, we weren't gonna be talking for days maybe even weeks. I need to be the bigger person here.

So right when I got home, I ran up to our room, assuming that Faith would be there.

I was right. When I opened the door, I saw her, sitting on the window seat, headphones in. I couldn't help but notice that she was texting and had that goofy smile she had earlier today.

"Faith, can we talk? Please?" I say and she looks up from her phone.

When she realized it was me that goofy smile definitely turned upside down. I had never seen her look at me like that, like she was disappointed in me that I didn't approve of Kyle.

"Fine," she sighs, putting down here phone, "talk."

"Okay. Faith I hate us fighting, it does down thing to me. I get upset at everything and everybody, I don't feel like eating or smiling, I feel like there is this guy in my stomach who is piling into my stomach which makes me want to puke!"

That gained a little laugh from her, but that smile was gone as quick as it came.

"And if not fighting means I have to accept this douche-I mean dude, then I will. I will support you, but if he ever hurts you don't be surprised when he ends up in the hospital."

I then saw her smile, and I was happy, because it did not fade.

"Thank you Hope. I know it's not easy for you," she says sincerely and I just nod.

She picks up her phone and laughs out loud.

"Who are you texting me anyways?" I ask curiously. Good thing a cat has nine lives, because curiosity kills me every time.

"Come see our conversations!" She say excitingly and I walk over to her.

I wasn't totally paying attention but I was trying to. I heard something about him started off their conversation with 'hey babe' and he also said something like 'I'd rate you a nine because your the one I need'

"Really?! He used that pick up line?" I said laughing my ass off. That was one of the most cheesiest pick up lines EVER!

"I thought it was cute," Faith said blushing and it took everything in me not to snort. Ya how many times has Kyle used that one on girls?

I just smiled and nodded, not trusting my mouth to say something nice.

We talked for a couple more hours. We talked mainly about guys. I talked about Evan and some other guys at school, she talked about Kyle. We both talked about hot guys like Channing Tatum, Dylan O'Brian, and Cameron Dallas.

To be honest it was a pretty good talk, one that we really needed. We hadn't talked like that in a long time.

We both got ready for bed and instead of sleeping on our beds, we made a fort. It had a bunch of blankets and pillows, and we slept on the floor that night.

I was just about to fall completely asleep but I head Faith call my name.

"Hope?"

"Yes Faith?"

"I just wanted you to know that I'm happy we're sisters, and I'm happy you're happy." She says quietly, and within seconds she was fast asleep.

I had no idea how she did that, I stay up for hours on end and I couldn't help it.

Nights like these I like to think I'm happy, and days I'm with the ones I love, but I'm just not.

I'm not happy and I don't understand why?
