Turning The Tide (Closed)

[Mayu]

Emily Wolf was always everyone's best friend, but never a girlfriend. She was very beautiful, which was why sometimes she never understood why she had never had a boyfriend. But she didn't mop about it really, she had more things on her plate. She never felt sorry for herself, she was the shy type. Until she noticed a certain guy in the eight grade, but she didn't have the courage to talk to him until the first year of high school. She introduced herself freshman year and found out who he was, his name was Landon Greg and he was really cute. She noticed he was some what of a ladies man, she always saw girls hanging around him. But she figured that they wanted to be with him for the wrong reasons, Freshman year they would talk in passing once in a blue moon. But Emily noticed something happened over the time.

It wasn't until Junior year that they really started talking to each other, over the time they got very close to each other. And it felt good to have at least one very good friend in school, he was a very good looking guy. Though she didn't know if he had been a jock really, someone into sports. Since she didn't really pay attention to what he was doing, until junior year. They would hang out all the time, and came to the point where they spent weekends together. Emily wanted Landon to be happy, and the girls he was around just seemed to use him. Which frankly pissed her off a lot, and she even got into a fight once with one of the girls. She didn't know if he had sex really, his sex life rather he had one or not was his own business. Which was why she never asked, but she grew protective over her friend.

She buried her feelings for anyone, because in the past she had just been laughed away from situations. Always the friend, never the girlfriend. Felt like a bridesmaid but never a bride, but she dealt with it and Landon had always been there to talk to. So when they graduated together it was exciting. Emily was a music major, some called her a musical savant because she could play several instruments and could even sing. After Emily graduated, she wanted to go to college but couldn't afford it. So now at the age of nineteen going on twenty in a few months, she was a Registered Nurse. Though she still kept up with her instruments, her parents were killed in a car accident. A year ago so she lived alone, but kept in close contact with her friend Landon. She had offered him to be a roommate and he had yet to make up his mind, she was at home waiting for his answer. Since she invited him over for lunch.

Manson Greg was always the popular kid... always the guy with a girl on him arm... he was always the one that was picked first. He enjoyed the.attention but also hated being under the.microscope all the.time. He was always good at sports and wanted to play until he had a bad back injury during his second year of high school that almost left him paralyzed. He couldn't play anything anymore but all through high school he was always his teams biggest supporter.

When he first meet Emily he thought she was a pretty girl but nothing special quiet and shy he. stayed away at first but as they had more classes together they grew closer.. he.always had fun poking at her and teasing her during classes trying to lighten her up and let her have some fun. They started talking on the internet some then the.phone and before he.knew it they were best friends he told her anything she wanted to know and some extra..

He loved her like a sister but some times he felt a little more.. they would play around and flirt but nothing more but when she touched him his heart would go crazy and he never felt so good. When Emily lost her parents he never left her alone it broke his heart the she had nothing no one to love but him..but he was only a friend...he spent many nights with her holding her... over that time he wanted never to.let go... there friendship had slowly drifted back to normal over the year and he put most of his feelings away so he didn't risk there friendship.


Manson just started school when Emily asked him to be her roommate... he was excited but extremely nervous. His thoughts filled with love and lust as he thought of a answer.. he wanted her he needed her... but did she want him?

Manson walked up the porch stairs and knocked on the door as he entered "Emily wear are you at?"

Emily was just about lost in her own little world, and didn't realize her friend was there. She was in her music room, the door to her music room open. She had to do something while she waited for her friend, The sound of her piano could be heard coming from the room that was directly in front of the front door. She had recorded the other parts of the song and that to could be heard along with her piano.

A soft melody escaped her lips as she moved with the music, enjoying the feel of the music moving into her soul. It felt wonderful really, a feeling that she wanted to feel. The music was beautiful as her voice filled the space of the house, when she looked up she smiled seeing her friend.

"I... I didn't know...
Know just how the story...
Just how the story goes...
You... picked me up when I was down...
Put a smile on my face... Lifted me up off the ground
Now... after all of this time... Why does it hurt?
Why does it feel like my heart is breaking?
Now... seeing your face...
Brings out... all the memories...
That I don't want to remember
I... I didn't know...
Know just how the story
Just how the story goes
I... I didn't know...
Know just how the story
Just how the story goes
You taught me how to laugh at everything
Told me everyday
That I was beautiful
We... we changed each other's lives
I'd always thought that we
Would be together till the end
How, how we didn't know
That it would get so hard for you
That you couldn't take it anymore
Now where, where do I turn to laugh
To wipe away my tears?
When youre the one who makes them fall
I... I didn't know...
Know just how the story
Just how the story goes.."

Stopping finally she smiled at her friend. "Hey Manson" She said happily.

 

[tjs34]

Manson smiled back at her and walked towards her.music room.listening to her song.. .he Haden herd the lyrics to it before but he had herd her writing and recording the music... he looked at her a.little confused...was this a love song..was it about him? He continued to listen to her sing... he felt worse and worse.. did she love him should he love her did he love her? Of course he loved her but did he really love her? These thought filled Landons head...

He put on a smile again for her... "Hey beautiful sorry I'm late... shall we get something to eat" he held out his hand...

 

[Mayu]

She smiled looking up at her friend, but something seemed wrong. Standing up she took his hand in hers. "Landon is something wrong?" She said rather worried about the look he had a second a go. Sure he had a smile on his face, but there was something else there. She just couldn't put her finger on it.

 

[tjs34]

He took her hand and walked into the.kitchen with her and sat down.. "im fine that song is turning out wonderful... so what's for lunch? Would you like to go out or stay here... he posses his hand on her knee as they sit down at the table...

 

[Mayu]

She had a nagging feeling that he was lying but she couldn't really do anything about it. So right now she just nodded "Well why don't we go out for a change" She said with a grin on her face. feeling where his hand was, she was happy frankly that he was there with her.

 

[tjs34]

He smiled at her and squeezed her leg rubbing it up and down her thigh "Perfect where do you want to go? Its.my treat!" he stood up taking her hand leading her to the front door of the house and to his car.

 

[Mayu]

She felt how he was expressing himself, this was just really strange but she smiled enjoying his touch. "Well what about that little restaurant down by the theater. I always liked that little place."

 

[tjs34]

"Perfect... he lead her to the car and opened the door for her letting her slide in before shutting it.. He walked around and got in. He started the car and headed down town. "So I have a questions" he stopped and took a deep breath...

 

[Mayu]

She smiled as he helped her in, but then as he got in and he said what he did. Thinking for a moment, looking at him with a kind look on his face. "What's wrong?" She was always expecting the worst when it came to things. Taking a deep breath she just sighed a bit, thinking for a moment.

 

[tjs34]

He looked over at her as they drove "what or who is that song about?" After hearing the lyrics... I have never herd you sing.like that

 

[Mayu]

She was taken back by the question, looking down realizing he had paid attention all right. Taking a deep breath she looked outside her window, watching as they passed streets, buildings everything. "It was about you" She said looking down at her lap.

 

[tjs34]

Landon looked at her lost and hurt..."why..I.mean..I didn't know.I was.umm hurting you... I mean..." he didn't.want to hurt hurt he actually had always wanted the same.just to scared to say it...

 

[Mayu]

She sighed "not that kind of hurt Landon, Ive had a thing for you but never was good about expressing myself. Every time you had a girlfriend, that is what hurt. But it wasn't your fault, you didn't know that I was in love with you. It's my own fault"

 

[tjs34]

Landon pulled the car over and parked so he didn't crash... he was so confused... he.looked over at her.. he reached over and cupped her chin turning her face to her... "i wish you would have said something" Landon leaned over and kissed her lips softly..

 

[Mayu]

She watched him and smiled looking into his eyes and watched as he moved to her. She showed shock when she felt his lips against her own. Closing her eyes she returned the kiss, he gave her. Wrapping her arms around him, holding him close as the kiss grew more passionate.

 

[tjs34]

Landon hand pushed his lips.hard into hers... he lightly ran his.tongue across her lower.lip before pulling away from her giving her a little.peck... "you should have said.something a long time.ago...i.was umm scared to hurt you to hurt us..."

 

[Mayu]

When he pulled away she did the same, nodding a bit she sighed a bit. "Well you always had a girl hanging around, when was I suppose to do it? That and the girls always said I never had a shot with you. Guess there negative bull shit over the years stopped me from taking the next step. You could never hurt us, our friendship will never die even if we don't work out as a romantic couple"

 

[tjs34]

Landon smiled at her and took her cheek in his hand again and kissed her.. this.time he.slowly let his.tongue drift out.of his.mouth and run across her lip...

 

[Mayu]

She felt his tongue and knew what he wanted, so she opened up her mouth and the kiss grew even more deeper, it made her feel very good. Moaning into the kiss she rested her hand against his cheek. Looking into his eyes for a moment, it really was beautiful.

 

[tjs34]

Landon lightly ran his tongue over hers. he didn't want to push to hard with her but he had a lot of feeling for her that he hid away for.a.long time. He kissed her again softly before pulling away.. "do you still want to get lunch..." he.pecked.the tip of her.nose.

 

[Mayu]

She found it almost hard to breath for a moment, but relaxing a bit she sighed. "Yes I'm hungry" She chuckled and looked up. "Besides we are almost there. Something tells me that you are hungry but perhaps not for food" She said happily, running her fingers against his cheek.

 

[tjs34]

He.smiled.back at her...he raised his eye brow a bit... "i don't know what your talking about... I need some.food... I'm not quiet sure what your hungry for now.. " he kissed her quickly again before pulling back onto the street.. he drove the two blocks to the restaurant and parked. He felt really happy still a little not totally at ease since he didn't know what exactly they were any more...

 

[Mayu]

She sighed since he didn't seem to get the joke so she just dropped it, but could tell he was very unsure about them. once out and in the restaurant, she held onto him. "I thought you would be happy with what we talked about in the car, but now you look terrified or something.."
