In The Name Of Love...

The Argument

Mabel's Pov

Me and Bill were the closest of friends...he held me when i was sad... he hugged me when i needed a little extra comfort...he would make me laugh when i thought i couldn't even smile...he was my heart...my life...my courage...my best friend...

Or...at least he was...until...our argument...i have been abused ever since i was 14. My parents never encouraged me, i don't even think they loved me that much to be honest...that's why i had Bill...i had him for love, and encouragement...
Me and him weren't together...we are best friends.

But one night...i lost what we had...i became even more depressed than i already am...
It was such a dumb argument! And i still would have him if i would've just agreed to go with him...go with him to family get together!

"Mabel...it's only a small get together..." he tried to explain to me.
"No Bill...i'm not ready to be around that many people" i told him as i sat on the bed, and he stood up by the wall.

"I'll be by your side the entire time" he said a tad frustrated with me
"I said No!" I yelled at him.
"Please Shooting Star!" He pleaded.
My eyes glistened with tears...
"No!" I shouted.

He looked around sadly and angrily.
"Fine!" He yelled back at me.
I saw how angry he looked now.
"I hated you anyway!" He shouted as he stormed out of my bedroom, and walked home.

I sat on my bed trying to process what had just happened...
I had just lost someone that actually cared about me...someone who would set me on their lap and hug me from behind...

I stood up off my bed. I ran out the door as i burst into tears. I ran out of the shack, and down the sidewalk.
I ran past Bill...
He stood still and saw me running and crying...
He knew what i was going to do...

He gasped and darted down the sidewalk after me.
"MABEL!" he yelled. I didn't listen...
I kept running...i had flashbacks of us...

Him tickling me to hear my laugh...me when he was sitting criss cross on the bed, i sat on his lap, and he hugged me from behind...
When he would pick me up when i was tired and bring me to my bed even when he was tired himself...

I stopped running and stood still.

Bill caught up with me, and stood behind me.
"No..." i heard him whisper from behind me. I didn't look back at him, i kept looking forward.

"I h-hate you to..." i whispered.
He wrapped his arms around me from behind and rested his head by my sweater collar.

I smiled and closed my eyes tightly with tears streaming down my cheeks.

But then i woke up...
It was a dream? I walked over to the window and saw Bill angrily walking down the sidewalk...
I must have passed out after we had the argument..."i'm so stupid!!" I shouted.

I saw Bill turn and look at window and notice me looking at him.
He waved at me with a straight face, and mouthed to me
"Thank you..."

He was thanking me...he was thanking me for our friendship...the friendship we used to have...that i destroyed...i need him back!
