There’s only one place
in the world where I feel normal—the roller derby track. When I put on my
skates and fasten my helmet, I’m powerful and in charge. I know exactly what to
do and what to say. The rules are clear and everyone does exactly what they’re
supposed to, penalties are enforced for those who don’t.
But in the real world,
I’m far from powerful and in charge. I never know exactly what to do and say.
For years, I counted on one person to be exactly who he said he was—my best
friend -Wyatt Tanaka.
Only he's changed.
Being a Marine and serving in a war has made him different. Now I want to help
him, but I also want to kiss him. And that’s not something best friends do.
Neither of us, it
seems, is content being just friends anymore. If we cross that line, change the
rules of our relationship, it could be wonderful and everything I've ever
wanted.
But it might also mean
I'll lose the one person I've come to rely on and I don't think my heart can
take it.
*****
Lacey- My
throat gets all lumpy again, and I bite my lip to keep from crying.
For him to get so mad
over me telling him that we can’t kiss anymore… that we had to go back to being
only friends again. I just don’t get it. After all, it was just a kiss or two,
nothing life altering
Okay, so it was more
than just one kiss or two. It was tons of kisses, tons of his hands on my face
and shoulders. His hands coasting down the sides of my body, tenderly and carefully,
as if he was afraid I might break. His lips crushing mine. His breath becoming
mine. I was his, and though we never did more than that, though his hands
stayed on top of my clothes… I felt branded by him.
Wyatt- This beautiful girl, leaning
against the door to our shared apartment, is practically shaking, her face
devoid of color. Only this time, she holds my hand to her heart instead of
pushing me away. This time, her eyes are closed, auburn lashes resting on her
pale cheeks, while she trusts me to help her. Her pink lips part as she
breathes, as she tries to get control, and I stand there helpless, trying to
protect her, trying to help her, and trying not be pissed off at the mixed
signals she’s giving.
