IN LIMBO

Blythe came back to her senses. She hold Alex' hand on her waist, put it down, stepped back and pull away from Alex' kiss.

"Ahmm. . . I uhmm I'm sorry. I have to go.", Blythe said walking away confused.

Alex let her go. Standing still watching Blythe leave.

"Oh gosh—- what have I done!", Alex sat when Blythe completely gone.

Blythe unconsciously reached home! She's still shocked and confused with everything happened with her and Alex.

She's about to go upstairs taking the first step when she heard her mom.

"Hey, sweetie? Are you okay?", Blythe's mom worriedly asked.

"Hey mom. Yeah I'm fine—", She went back greeted and kissed her mom on the cheeks.

"You sure sweetie? You seemed troubled or what. You didn't even notice me here when you entered that door.", her mom took her hand make her sit. "Do you want to eat? I can make you a sandwich."

"No mom. I'm fine really. I'm just tired." Blythe's lied.

"Ok honey. Go upstairs change and take a rest. How's your friend anyway? Where did you both went to? What did you do?"

Blythe do not know what to say or do. She's having a flashback of what happened. With Alex' jealousy ---- and when Alex' kissed her. She feels a bit awkward and shy and something on her tummy went straight up to her chest that she unconsciously hold her chest and she can feel her face burning. She stands up and answered her mom, "Nothing important mom. We just went to the Café. I think I took too much caffeine. Can I go upstairs now mom? I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I can see you're not feeling well right now. Your face is so red. Are you feeling hot? Are you sick?"

She quickly hold her both checks as she tried to cover her blushing, "No mom. I just need some rest. See you later at dinner." She kissed her mom and walk fast to her room.

As she closed the door she runs toward her bed and lay down on her back. She can't took off out of her brain everything happens. Alex frustration and seriousness that she can see through her eyes. Her hands holding tightly on her waist, especially her lips; the softness of her lips, the way she kissed her, it so gentle but her entire soul feels it. She feels her lips with her finger as if she can still feel Alex' lips on her.

"Why I can't feel any anger towards her; for what she did. Why I feel so bothered when she treated me badly. I got bothered more when she started ignoring me and not talking to me than that stupid kiss. What the heck is happening—-"

"Ahhhhh—-", Blythe shouted under her pillow to lessen the noise and get off everything out of her chest. She so damn confused.

Hours later.

Blythe still thinking about it when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone.

Izzy calling.

She remembered how Alex said "that girl" while staring on her screen when she saw Izh's name.

She then answered it.

"Hey Summy!!", Izzy greeted her.

They on video call.

"Hey Izh.", Blythe answered blandly.

"Summy? Are you okay?"

"Yeah! I'm fine", Blythe changed tone with fake enthusiasm.

Izzy knows she's faking it.

"Spill it Summy. You can't lie to me. What is bothering you? Is there something bothering you?"

Blythe paused for a moment and thinking if she really should share what happened. She decided not to. She wasn't ready. She wasn't even sure what it is. Does she even need to tell it, seriously? She just doesn't know what to think.

"Nothing important. I'm just thinking about school. I mean it's like what— hmm like a few more weeks from now and Summer break will end.", Blythe's lying.

"Hey. Just enjoy the moment first. Enjoy your summer break and do something about "whatever" that is bothering you right now. And I want you know that you cannot lie to me and I'm just one call away if you're ready to share it with me." Izh said smiling.

"What will I do without you Izh. I just missed you here." Blythe answered.

"Don't worry. One day when you wake up I'll be there again at your house waiting for you downstairs. And from that moment you can't rid of me again. haha I miss you too.", Izh joked.

"Okay! I'll be waiting for that day. And I just want you know that the next time you'll be here without telling me I will never let you go again. Haha" , Blythe laughed.

Talking to Izh made her forget for a moment. They spend talking later that night.
