I walked inside and smiled when I saw Gee.

"Guess what, I got you a gift," I said.

Jamia smiled as Gee ran over to me. I held out the stuffie and Gee screamed, making both of us flinch.

"Squill!" He shrieked.

He hugged the squirrel stuffie tight in his arms as he squealed.

"Squill, you have to meet Sebby!" Gee exclaimed.

Gee ran off back to the bedroom and I smiled as Jamia walked over.

"You know that new movie is coming out tonight," Jamia said.

"The one with the detective?" I asked and she nodded. "Shit, I totally wanna see that."

"We should go together tonight," Jamia suggested.

"Yeah, definitely," I agreed.

Jamia lit up as she smiled.

"Although I don't think Gee would like it," I said.

"Evan can watch her," Jamia said. "I'll call him."

I nodded my head and went back to the bedroom, finding Gee making Sebastian and his squirrel talk to each other.

"Hey, Gee, how do you feel about Evan coming over to play with you?" Frank asked.

"Play with you and me?" He asked.

"No, I won't be home, it's like how Jamia babysits you," I said.

Gee looked a little nervous but nodded anyways. Jamia walked in and smiled.

"He agreed," Jamia said. "I'm gonna run home to grab a shower and get ready."

"Alright, I'll pick you up later," I said.

She kissed my cheek before leaving. I smiled and walked out to the kitchen. Gee came in and sat on the couch, pointing the remote at the tv.

"Why doesn't big Evan work?" He asked.

"You have to press a button, you don't just point it," I said.

I helped turn on the tv for him and turned to some cartoons. Gee ended up falling asleep as I cooked, making a pan of lasagna. When Evan came in I smiled, letting him in.

"So, I made dinner," I said. "It's in the oven and I'm not sure if Gee likes it or not but he probably will. If he doesn't then I'm sure he would be happy with just a bowl of ramen, which are in the cabinet at the top. He likes apple juice the most but do not give him coffee, I learned that the hard way from him dumping it everywhere."

Evan chuckled softly as he tossed his jacket onto the armchair.

"He shouldn't need a bath tonight but make sure that he's in bed by nine," I said. "He'll probably start dozing off just a little bit before then. We probably won't be gone long, but we'll be gone until after he goes to sleep."

"We'll be fine," Evan said. "Go have fun."

I nodded and I gave Gee a hug.

"Alright, sweetheart, I have to go now," I said.

"Bye bye," he said, kissing my cheek.

I walked out and went to go pick Jamia up. When she opened her door I saw her wearing a simple light pink dress with a black jacket and black boots.

"You look so cute," I said.

She blushed softly, shutting and locking the door behind her. We drove to the theater, both of us singing along to music at the top of our lungs as we laughed. We got to the theater and I bought two tickets for us.

"You want some snacks?" I asked.

"How about we get some popcorn to share, some drinks and some candy," she said.

I nodded and the two of us got our food before we sat down in our seats in the correct theater.

"God, I love popcorn," I muttered as I scooped a handful out of the bucket.

Jamia giggled, watching me try and eat all of it.

"You're so weird," Jamia muttered with a smile.

I smiled back as the lights dimmed and the movie started. We leaned back in our seats as everyone quieted down. The movie was action packed, which was both of some of our types favorite movies. The more action the better. Jamia held out her box of Swedish Fish and I smiled as I took a little red gummy fish. She smiled, resting her head on my shoulder as we watched the movie.

"That was good," I said when the movie finished.

I looked at my watch and sighed when I saw it was just past eleven, the movie lasted longer than I thought.

"Yeah, I liked it a lot," Jamia said.

I stood up and stretched before letting her lead the way to the stairs. I put my jacket on her when we got outside and she blushed, pulling it tighter around her. It was starting to get cold out now as autumn came. I walked with Jamia across the courtyard until we got back to the car. I drove her home, walking her up to her front door.

"Thanks for this, it was a lot of fun," she said.

"Of course, I feel like it's been forever since we've hung out together alone, we haven't ever since Gee came," I said. "We should do this again and soon hopefully."

"Yeah, we really should," Jamia agreed.

Her front porch light let a soft glow over us as she looked up at me. Jamia looked up at me nervously before she leaned up and pressed her lips against mine. She gave me a soft kiss and I felt myself freeze in shock. When I realized just what was happening I took a small step back.

"Mia," I said softly.

"O-oh god, I've been reading this all wrong, haven't I?" She asked. "I-I can't believe I just did this. I'm so dumb."

"No you aren't," I denied. "I-I just don't feel the same way, you're my best friend."

Jamia sniffled as she looked down and I caressed her cheek gently. She pulled away, looking up at me as her eyes watered.

"Please, Jamia," I whispered. "You're my best friend."

"I-I'm gonna go now," she whimpered.

I sighed quietly and nodded my head, watching her walk inside. I got back into my car and drove home quickly. Evan was watching tv when I walked in and he smiled.

"Hey, how was the movie?" He asked.

"Fine," I muttered. "How was Gee?"

"He was really sweet," Evan said. "He's asleep now and he's missing you a lot. I should get going now, I'll talk to you later."

I nodded, locking the door behind him as I sighed. I changed and went back to the bedroom before curling up with Gee in bed, smiling softly as I wrapped an arm around his waist. I pulled him back against me so his back was to my front so I could spoon him.

"Frankie?" Gee mumbled sleepily.

"Hey, sweetheart," I whispered. "Sorry for waking you, just go back to sleep."

Gee nodded and yawned, scooting back against me. He smiled and turned around in my arms, snuggling up against me. Gee fell asleep quickly and even though he was drooling on my chest I couldn't help but smile at how cute he was as I fell asleep with him.

In the morning I just kept thinking about Jamia as I made breakfast. She was so heart broken when I rejected her last night. I didn't even know she liked me at all. Maybe I led her on? Oh god, I didn't mean to lead her on. She's been my best friend ever since high school. She was my best friend in the whole world and I didn't want to just lose her because of this.

I gave Gee his french toast as he sat at the table and he inspected the 'funny colored bread' carefully before going to dowse it in syrup. I grabbed my phone and went back to the bedroom to call Jamia. I got her voicemail and sighed.

"Please, Mia, I'm sorry," I said. "Please call me back. I'm sorry for what happened last night, I shouldn't have just led you on like that, it's my fault, you deserve someone so much better than me. And I don't want this to ruin things between us, you're my best friend and I don't want to lose you. I need you in my life, I really do. I love you as a friend and I need you in my life. Please just, please just call me. We can forget everything that happened if you want. Or if you don't want to forget it then we can just like talk about it or--"

The voicemail ended and I sighed when it cut me off. I went back out and saw the french toast on the floor.

"Why'd you do that?" I asked.

"Doesn't taste like bread," he said.

"I've already told you not to throw the food on the fucking ground," I said.

Gee looked at me, his eyes watering from my sharp tone.

"B-but it doesn't taste like bread," he whimpered "It looks like bread but it doesn't taste like it."

"That's because it's not supposed to taste like fucking bread," I muttered.

I cleaned up the mess while I heard footsteps leave. I sighed as I sat on the couch, turning on the tv. I stayed there for a little bit before Gee came back in, tears running down his cheeks with a paper in his hands.

"I-I made you a picture to say I'm sorry," he whimpered.

He sat down on my lap and showed me the crude drawing of a little flower, which was really just mostly scribbles with his crayons.

"I'm sorry, Gee, I didn't mean to take my anger out on you, I'm not mad at you," I said, kissing his cheek. "I'm just mad at myself."

"Why?" Gee asked.

"Just because I wasn't very nice to Jamia yesterday and I accidentally hurt her feelings," I said. "And I'm really mad at myself for being mean to her."

"Why would you be mean to her?" Gee asked.

"I didn't mean to, it's just that...nevermind, you wouldn't understand," I mumbled.

"S-so you're not mad at me?" He whimpered.

"No, Princess, I'm not mad at you," I said. "I'm sorry."

I kissed his cheek, wrapping my arms around him as I held him tight in my arms. I don't ever want to be the reason that he cries again.
