In Love With My Best Friend (Billy Unger)

Chapter 21

"Nobody wake me up for the next 3 hours." I announce and walk to my room.

I just got off work and I'm like a ravaging mother bear. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Don't touch me. Especially the fact I'm totally sick as a dog.

I open my door and scream. Billy is sitting on my beanbag, watching a movie. "What are you doing here? I thought I locked the window!" I exclaim.

"Sick." He replies and lets out a big cough. "Guess I'm not the only one!" I smile and plop down next to him. "Hey kids, do you want some tea?" Mom asks.

I nod, my throat hurting.

"So where's Kira?" Billy asks. "She's with Niall on tour. There opening act is a band called 5 Seconds of Summer." I smile.

"Are you serious?!" He squeals. I nod slowly. "She'll be gone for 6 months." I explain.

"Oh it's time people!" He exclaims, getting this insane look on his face. He puts on this gay music and starts doing a cute little dance.

"She's gone! She's gone! She's really truly gone!" We both chant like idots.

We start square dancing and doing all these weird celebratory moves.

I look at the doorway to see a shocked Adam. "Mommy!" He screams.

I just quickly sit down. "Adam what is it- Oh my." Mom says just as Billy starts doing a weird Russian dance. "I'M A FREED MAN!" He exclaims.

"Sit down. For god's sake!" I yank him down in the beanbag. "Is he okay? Honey. You'd better see a doctor." Mom says, feeling Billy's forehead. I roll my eyes.

3 days later, I've got finals.

"Knock Knock!" Billy sings. I chuck my shoe at him. He easily dodges it and comes in from the window. "AH! What did I do?!" He cries. "I'm trying to take a exam." I growl.

"Oh. Well, you could always take a break... We could go dirt biking, or surfing, or play football!" He grins suggestively. "After my test." I laugh and finish up.

I turn my exam in and pray I get an A.

"So what'll it be Unger?" I ask. "We can go on a run and play Football then we can hit your pool?" He asks. "Okay." I smile.

"Can you go though? I have to change." I chuckle. "Right." He says awkwardly and closes the door behind him.

I stand there in my underwear for about 10 minutes, deciding what to wear.

My door flies open and I grab a pair of shorts and a shirt and jump into my closet. "OH MY GOD I'M SO SO SORRY!" Billy yells. "It's okay! I'll be out in 5 minutes." I yell back.

I change like my tail's on fire now and go downstairs.

"Okay. Let's go..." I start. "Right.. Uh.. Yeah. That never happened.." Billy stutters.

"American or Irish?" I ask holding up a soccer ball and a football. "I don't think I've ever played soccer with you. Let's go for the Irish." He says, taking the Irish flag soccer ball from me.

I grab my earbuds and knapsack. We leave and start walking.

"Are you Biwwy Ungew?" A small voice asks from behind us when we are about half way.

I turn around to see a small girl, about 5 standing there with her mom.

"Yes I am." He smiles, his face lighting up when he sees it's a little girl. "Mommee! Mommee! Take a picture!" She squeals. He laughs and sits her on his knee. They take the picture and he kisses her on the cheek.

My heart is melting. That was just adorable.

"Shall we be going now?" He asks, taking my hand. "I don't know. I'd like to watch more fan interactions with 5 year old girls!" I giggle. He shakes his head and we keep walking.

It suddenly starts pouring rain out of nowhere. "Do you want to turn back?" Billy asks.

"I can see the park from here. It would be pointless not to play for a while." I say and run to the field. He comes after me and kicks the ball. "Prepare to taste defeat!" I shout. "Really Shorty? I'll have your butt kicked in less than 5 minutes." He teases.

The ball rolls into the goal and I go to retrieve it. I throw it to Billy who catches it. "First rule.. NEVER USE YOUR HANDS UNLESS YOU'RE A GOALIE!" I yell. "Dangit! Why did I do that?" He groans.

We start kicking the ball around and shouting remarks at each other.

By the end of the game, He kicked my arse by a point! A SINGLE POINT!

"Told you." He smirks. "Shut up Unger." I reply, trying to brush the mud from my shirt.

I'm glad I wore black!

20 minutes later, we get to the front of my house. "I'll see you later." I smile. "See you. Good luck on the rest of your exams." He says, stepping forward.

He kisses me quickly and I kiss back. He drops the soccer ball and puts hands on my waist.

We pull away and rest our foreheads together. "I love you Saph. Not just like a best friend anymore. I mean "I love you" love you." He smiles. "I love you too Billy." I say and kiss him again. "Are you two done yet?" My dad asks.

"Hey... Mr. Molloy!" Billy says nervously. "Let's go and have a chat son." Dad frowns.

Billy gives me the "Help Me" look and I look at him sympathetically.

"Honey that was just adorable!" Mum squeals. "Forget me what about him?!" I ask. "Billy will live! He's a boy!" She laughs. "I'm gonna go shower." I giggle.

I go upstairs to find an email on my computer.

"Dear Saphira Molloy. We are pleased to tell you that you have been accepted into the University of Findlay." I read and start screaming. Everyone runs in in a panic. "I GOT ACCEPTED! I GOT ACCEPTED!!" I scream and jump up and down.

"Findlay, Ohio? Already?" Mom asks. "Yep. Fall next year! I'll be going to college in Ohio!" I exclaim. "That's awesome Saphira!" Billy grins. "Honey, I hate to ruin your celebration, but you're kinda dripping mud on your white chair." Dad chuckles.

I think I may have over-celebrated?

A/N: Saphy's going to college! Yay! Anyways, 13K or more for a new chapter!
