The next day was saturday.I logged into the chat room and saw that Cici was online.Yes! I thought. I messaged her.
Shaun:Hey.Am I forgiven?
Cici:What have you done to earn forgiveness?
Shaun:Let you steam?
Cici:Whatever.You are such a jerk.You know that?
Shaun:Yeah I know that.
Cici:I mean I just care-wait what?
Shaun:I said I know I'm a jerk.
Cici:Oh.
Shaun:What do you care about?
Cici:??
Shaun:Quote:I mean I just care:Unquote.What do you care about?
Cici:Wow,not only are you a jerk but your also an idiot.
Shaun:How?
Cici:I care about you.You are my brother.My best friend.
Shaun:Oh.I gues I am an idiot.
Cici:Yeah you are.
Shaun:So am I forgiven?
Cici:Only if you buy me an ice cream cone.:)
Shaun:You got it.30 flavors in 10?
Cici:I'll beat you there.lol
Cici has signed off.
Shaun has signed off.
I smiled.Cici had forgiven me for being a jerk last night.But she hadn't forgin me for being a lier.Course she doesn't know I'm one.Maybe i should have just told her the truth.She deserves that.But how can i tell her I like her when she thinks of me as her brother.I thought as I drove to Baskin Robbins.It was raining,and Cici was standing next to her car drenched.
"I always win.Now you owe me a double scoop!Yes!"She said as we walked into the small ice cream shop.
"Man.that sucks.Hey thanks for forgiving me."
"No problem.Its impossible to sty mad at you for to long."She smiled.It dazzled me.To the point where I missed my seat and fell to the ground.I was happy Cici was holding my ice cream cuz I went down face first.Cici was laughing hard.She had set down the ice cream and was holding her stomach.I stood up and jokingly glared at her.She stopped after awhile.We ate our ice cream laughing and talking.Halfway through our ice cream,she asked.
"So do you really like her?Shelia,I mean?"
"Uhh,yeah.Why?"
"Just wondering."
I then realized that this entire time,she hadnt looked at me.Hadn't looked me in the eye anyway.It was odd.I wondered why.When we were leaving,Cici fell.Her jacket sleeve was pushed up by the fall.And that's when I saw it.
A huge cut going down the side of her arm.When she stood up and saw the shock in my face as I stared at her arm,she gasped.
"It's nothing.And old."She said pushng down her sleeve."I have to go."She turned to walk away but I grabbed her arm.
"Please tell me you didn't do this to yourself."She looked at me with the most sincere eyes.A look that no matter how hard you tried,you couldnt fake.
"No."
"Then who did this to you?"
"I can't."She released her arm an ran to her car.She drove away,a fear in her eyes.Who did that to her?
