Dear Diary – Chapter 23

29/06-2010 20:17

Dear diary,

The summer vacation finally came, at long last, and with it, amazing weather. Blue sky, high temperatures, sun and everything that comes with it. Cafés, ice cream, shopping and everybody appears to be happy and smiling. My smiles have, sadly, been forced unless I am together with Malene. And today, our grand plan of fun started.

Friday, the last day of school, ended in a big party at a classmate's house. I didn't drink a lot but Malene was dead drunk, so I had to take her home. She copped a feel several times, mumbling something about "everybody is envious of your great body, ya know" and then that she was sorry. I don't mind it and I told her. She seemed glad by that. But other than that, it was a relatively eventless day/night. I noticed there was a lot of class mates who got together - lots of kissing and couples disappearing. I somewhat envied them but knew I had Malene and she had a way to kind of kill those "desires" to be with someone. I was told, by her, that a few guys were looking at me and had been asking about me. She had, jokingly, said that I was hers, which I giggled at and played a bit with the idea - but it just made them go for someone else to ask.  I do recall someone coming up to me, awkwardly, giving me a drink and asking me to dance. I said I don't really dance and then he went away. Oh well, can't blame a guy for trying! It was kind of cute how nervous he was and I couldn't help that he had no reason to be nervous. Worst thing he could get is a no, right?

Saturday and Sunday were relatively uneventful, as Malene was at home. No school meant no homework so I didn't know what to do other than watch TV.

Monday: Malene came with a huge bag full of clothes. She was practically moving in for the week! We started on our plan immediatly and after she had changed and showered, we headed out. The weather was amazing so we decided that we wanted to go to the beach instead. We started with the cinema trip first since we figured it'd be too hot on the beach. We didn't really want to watch anything that was currently going, so we just on a random movie. It turned out to be The A-Team. Boy movie! But it was fun. We were being girly girls, chatted, giggled and tossed popcorn at each other - we were the only ones in there, so we could get away with it!  At around 4, we arrived at the beach. People were slowly packing and going home, which meant we had most of the beach to us. We decided to just take in the sun, sunbathe, not care about anything and enjoy ourselves.

Eventually, we figured out that we were actually alone on the beach. Malene pointed out that it was a relatively secluded beach so no one would be able to see us. Not knowing why she would say that, I just gave her a puzzled look but I was about to get wiser. She smiled at me, then took the rest of her clothes off (only bra and underwear at this point) and ran into the water. She called to me to come over. I undressed, ran to her and jumped into the waves, next to her. It was quite warm, but she came over to me and wanted a hug. I hugged her, face to face and she gently kissed me. I was a bit shocked, but then kissed her back. We stopped and she just smiled at me. I love that damn smile. We kept playing around in the water until the sun had set and then my mother came and picked us up. We fell asleep right away.

Tuesday: Woke up early and went to the shopping mall as it opened. Neither of us had a lot of money so we just went out to do something. It was a lot of fun. At around 4, we decided to go home after a quick visit to Blockbuster. We borrowed a couple of movies and Malene kept telling us to get a porno while giggling at the images at the back. We rented it but we never really got around to watching it. As we came back, it was still super hot outside and we both went for a shower together to remove the sweat. We didn't feel like getting dressed so we just popped on a big shirt, made popcorn and grabbed soda and began watching random movies. Malene fell asleep quickly, leaning against me. She is still asleep next to me as I write this. She is really cute and she must be dreaming something great as she is smiling.

Oh well, that's enough for me today. Good night.

Wednesday: I didn't really look forward to today but Malene insisted. I haven't thought about her or being generally sad while Malene was here, so I kind of hoped that she could be a buffer in me getting a break down on Sus' grave. I wanted to push it as far back on the day as possible, while Malene wanted it to be straight away so we could talk about it afterwards, if necessary. She has turned out to be my therapist, it would seem. I, reluctantly, agreed with her and we went. Just as we approached the graveyard, I was in tears. I tried to hide it from Malene but she grabbed my hand and held it tight while forcing me ahead. I felt a bit foolish, but I just started talking to the grave and it brought me a bit of peace. Malene just sat quietly, with tears coming down her cheek. I pulled her over and hugged her and we cried a bit together. We both felt great afterwards.

We walked away, hand in hand, but neither of us felt like going to the planned football match. We just walked for a bit, with no destination, and then found a bench. Then Malene began to talk. She have held it in for a long time I will write it down as best as I can (Hooray for a great memory, but also because it struck me so hard): "Remember when I told you that it was tough for me to see the most stable person I know, fall so hard? It made me think. A lot. I promised I'd help you out to the best extend of what I can, because you are my best friend but it also made me realize just how quick life can end." she said this with a sob, I moved over to pull her in closer. "So I knew that I had to do what I want, while I still can. Just this week, ya know - I wanted to run into the ocean naked and I got my best friend to follow. I wanted to hug my best friend and I did... I.." she hesitated "wanted to kiss my best friend and I did. But nothing I have done yet, with you, was met with anger or anything." At this point, I kind of knew where the conversation was going but it never came to that. She plainly just asked me "What are we? What are we doing?". I responded with: "We are living life and doing what we want." I told her I could never get angry at her and she could do whatever she wants to do. She responded with a kiss. I noticed a few people looking and pointing, so we went home afterwards. I still feel the kiss on my lips.

She is a tired one, this girl. She fell asleep as we lay down on the bed. I had thought we needed to talk more, but I am glad we didn't have to. I am still not sure what she would think. On one side, I think she'd be okay with and .. we might start dating? I don't know. On another hand, the pessimistic one, I could lose her as a friend. I would have no one left who are close to me.

Good night, diary.

Dear diary,

I feel .. tingly. Warm, with butterflies in my stomach, constantly sighing with relief and happiness. I feel like I am floating, I feel like I can conquer the world. I feel accepted, cared about and loved. I am constantly smiling. I simply cannot stop.

I feel happy.

Dear Diary – Chapter 11

25/03-2010 16:54

Dear diary,

I am having problems with keeping you update as of late. Hopefully thing should slow down soon enough, so we can go back to the boring "This is how my day went". But I promised you to continue on my tales from this weekend.

As I wrote, me and Sus were standing outside the party. It looked like she was about to cry. I offered her my jacket, which she took, then smiled at me. I asked her what was going on and as always, she just shrugged. She is so obviously out of it, yet still doesn't want to say why. I went in to get her a soda, then came out. She was sitting against the wall now, looking a bit stronger. She had a few tears on her cheeks. Like someone who just realized that everything is alright, after all. I sat down next to her, giving her the soda. She said I knew her so well and gave me a little hug. She started talking. She said that Martin didn't feel comfortable about what her parents were doing and was trying to push the relationship ahead to the actual.. fucking, as she delightfully said. She giggled a bit at her use of word. Again, we were crossing into a field I know nothing about, so I just let her talk. She continued by saying that she said she wasn't sure about it and that it was too early for her. Martin kept pressuring her and as he got more drunk, he even tried to grope on her and put his hand down her underwear, while muttering that he would love to have "that hot girlfriend of yours join in". Meaning me. I blushed a bit at that, my mind suddenly thinking what that would be like. Sus pulled me back to reality with a sob and I just held an arm around her, hugging her gently. She hugged back and said thank you, that she felt a lot better now. I said I wish I could help somehow. She then asked me if I had wanted to pursue any of the guys in there. She said she was talking to a guy who really wanted my phone number, then she described her. It was the exact guy who had been staring at me all day. Apparently his name was Simon. I told her how he had just been staring at me all day and that he made me feel very uncomfortable. What a creep, she replied and then shrugged at it. Then asked if there was absolutely no one I was interested in. I opened my mouth, without knowing what to say, but then Malene came out with 3 drinks handed them to us. I tried it, a sweet raspberry flavor, which I gulped down quickly. I coughed when the after taste of spirits hit me. The others laughed at me, I blushed. This was my first, proper, alcoholic drink and I liked it. I loosened up, too.

We went inside, Sus tried to keep to me and Malene and just eyed Martin from a distance. I think he could feel how badly he messed up, because he didn't do much at all but have a sad look in his eyes. Malene asked me to come to get some more drinks.. little did I know about the game I was about to walk into. As we walked up to the bar, I vaguely saw a sign that said "Free drinks for kissing girls". Before I thought about it, Malene had pressed her lips tenderly against mine, I was shocked - but suppose I should have seen it coming. The guys hanging out in the bar was hooting at it and drinks were poured once again. Malene smiled at me when the kiss was broken and whispered "Three". I smiled back and nodded, flushed and blushing still. I took the drinks and tried to find Sus. She wasn't where she were before. I told Malene that we should find her - she agreed. She, too, have noticed that Sus is a bit out of it.

She was impossible to find. Martin was gone as well, so we asked around. They just said they saw them take off together but no one knew where. I called Martin but he didn't answer. Nothing we could do but stay here and be available when she returned. Malene kept coming with drinks. Apparently they were still free a couple of hours after we kissed, so we cheered to that. I quickly got slightly drunk, since I was unexperienced and decided it was best I just sat in a couch where my balance skills wouldn't be put to a test. Malene was very "loving" and just sat closed to me, almost cuddling against me. We just talked drunkenly, something about couches if I remember correctly. I, again, noticed the guy who had been staring at me. He sat with his phone in his hand and just as I noticed, my phone vibrated. I pulled it out, half hoping it would be Sus or Martin. It was an unknown number with the message "Are you having fun?" I looked up and he smiled at me. I half-smiled at him, pocketed the phone, took Malene by the arm and dragged her off to the toilet.

I told her what was going on, about the guy who had kept staring at him. All she said was "Is he cute?". I almost freaked out because I have no idea how to handle this situation. I am not even remotely interested and I don't have the sexuality to even pursue it! I told her that I wasn't interested at all but I have no idea how to handle it.

See, diary, I am having difficulties keeping you up to date. This entry was made the 25th and it is now the 28th and I am still not done explaining what happened! Please be patient with me, dear diary.

What happened next was.. interesting to me. I was walking back and forth in the toilet, just muttering to myself, trying to get all my thoughts straight. Suddenly I felt Malene come up behind me, push me against the wall, turn me around and kiss me, once again, deeply right on the lips. She didn't break the kiss right away as before, but I just enjoyed it, I must admit. I felt something wet against my cheek and broke the kiss. She whispered to herself "Four" and half-smiled. She was crying, I noticed. I asked her what was wrong, she said something I will remember to this day. I tend to try to be "perfect" in a way - know everything, always stay calm, see everything from more than one perspective. It's just the way I was brought up and I think that is why I am popular because I seem to have everything going as I want it to .. if only they knew. But Malene stated that she knew that a kiss would leave me silent, which I needed but also that she was scared because this was the first time she had seen me actually freaking out. I brought her in for a tight hug but didn't know what to say. She held around me and sniffed in. We both felt a bit sobered up. Then I said: "Let's just take every minute as it comes and stop thinking too far ahead". She nodded and smiled. I could never get tired of that smile. I began thinking about how much Malene have changed and all it "took", was for her to start running, to hang out more with me and Sus disappearing. I think she might have felt that she needed to step up to replace Sus .. which is both a scary and good thought. We still haven't heard from Sus. Maybe she agreed to what Martin proposed, maybe they are breaking up, maybe they have gone for a walk.. no one knew. I was going to be ready when she needed me, that is what mattered at the moment. Malene and I went out, after another hug, to get another couple of drinks. They were still just handing them out, but as I watched them mix it, I noticed they did half and half.  I told Malene this and she didn't seem to care. "Gets you drunker faster" she said with a wink while gulping the drink down. I couldn't argue against that. We found a table to sit at while I constantly looked at the door, hoping for Sus to come in.

As time went and the drinks were emptied, I saw the weird guy once again look at me. He was sitting at the bar with a beer in his hand. He was pretending to talk to someone but most of the guys up there were with their backs to him, pretty much just ignoring him. I then saw him pick up his phone and then I just thought "No no no. What to do?" I looked at Malene, who was just sitting there with a half smile on, trying to figure out how to sit on her chair without falling down. I helped her to sit up properly, she thanked me with a smile that left me a bit weak in the knees - why am I such a sucker for smiles?! - but it resulted in her leaning against me, giggling like a lunatic. I held around her as I felt my phone vibrate. Malene felt it too, grabbed the phone and looked at it. "It's him, let's give him a show for it - maybe that'll get him to back off". I didn't know what she meant before she started kissing me, again. I just leaned into it and enjoyed it, her soft lips and all that. Just thinking about it makes my lips tingle. She put her hand on my breast as well and squeezed. I blushed, but didn't mind - the liquor was controlling me and I didn't mind. I just leaned into it. Malene later told me she had winked to him and he had left the room in a hurry. We broke the kiss and I almost couldn't sit on my chair now. I also noticed that mostly everyone at the bar was having a good stare. I smiled at them, red in my face. Malene smiled and said "Five, had enough now?". I didn't know what to answer to that, sadly. I want it to continue but .. to her, it's most likely just fun. Am I having a crush on Malene? I don't know, everything is all too confusing - especially when you can't think properly with booze. I just smiled and that was answer enough to her, as she smiled back with a grin. I never checked what he had written on the phone, now that I think about it. Aaaand now I just deleted the message. Hopefully I won't hear anything from him.

After that .. make out session, I felt very hot so we went outside. I think Malene knew what was the reason as I heard her giggling from behind me. We came outside and saw Sus standing with Martin out on the street. I waved to her, but she didn't notice me. Malene said that she looked alright and happy, so maybe we should just go home - I agreed with her, the booze was getting me sleepy. I yelled to Sus that we were going home and she just waved. Hopefully she is okay. At home, we just crashed right away in my bed. I woke up with Malene cuddling me once again.

Nothing interesting have been happening in the last week. I haven't heard from Sus, but I suppose her tutoring have started. I had somehow hoped that her parents would see what the hell they were doing to their child, but apparently not. I started writing on the letter, about what happened at the party as she went away, that we went looking for her, called Martin etc., but also about that we were considering trying to ally with the school and the county about what her parents were doing. I wanted to tell it to her at the party, but she was just too absent minded.. she must have a lot going in her head, Martin, her parents, her social life going down the drain. Poor girl. I sent the letter today (29/03-2010) and hopefully it will go directly to her. She will be the only one home in the morning, except the tutor, so that is what I am hoping for.

Malene and I hung out in the weekend, with her sleeping at my place. We were running a lot of the day, because she is really really into loosing some weight. I admire her, I must admit. She has proven to keep pushing herself, both socially but also by exercising. 7 days a week, with 3 hours a day in the weekend. I was, admittedly, very tired after the weekend.

This concludes this entry. It is now 29/03-2010 13:47. Time to go running with Malene.

Dear Diary – Chapter 10

23/03-2010 19:22

Dear diary,

It's been awhile. I apologize for that, but it's been a hectic weekend - one I had problems taking in and grasping. But I suppose writing it all down will help me out a bit.

Friday: After the run with Malene, I was just going to have a relaxing even together with the parents - eat some pizza and watch some TV. I heard a knock and answered the door. There was Sus and Martin, holding hands. Sus explained to me that her parents was out of town for the weekend, but couldn't bring Martin around there because she was scared they'd notice. They couldn't go to Martin's place either, since they were having a party. So they wanted to ask if it was okay to hang out in my room, just for a place to be. I couldn't really grasp having a couple making out in my room, but being the nice girl, I let them. It felt a bit awkward, having them around - as if I was a third wheel. They never said a thing, just sat in my bed, making out and watching a bit of TV. I could see that Sus was relaxed, but a bit troubled - Martin was just enjoying the making out.

After about a couple of hours of just sitting around (I was playing around on my computer), Martin received a text message about a party going down. He said we were both invited. I have never been to a  party before and was very reluctant to go at all. Martin left and it was just me and Sus who tried to convince me to go. Not having had the possibility of having out with Sus in almost a week, I said I would go, if she would stay with me. She agreed and called me silly - I felt like my boundaries were about to be pushed again. I took a shower, while she applied some make up. She looked divine with a bit of colour on her. She smiled to me, then asked me a thing I will never forget: "What if the guys want us to kiss to give us drinks?". All I could muster was a "What?". She explained that she had heard the guys talk about giving girls drinks if they kissed. I asked what Martin would think about it and she responded that he probably would like it. I shrugged it off, I didn't plan on drinking any way - I just wanted to be with Sus for a bit. That is, I didn't shrug it off, I was constantly thinking about kissing Sus. Thankfully, by the time this thought entered, we were outside and she couldn't see me constantly blushing a deep red.

We walked for a good 20 minutes. The party was held at a classmate's house. His parents were out of town, so they had quickly set up a bar, music and opened the doors for pretty much everyone who wanted to go to a party. As I entered, I gave a lot of friends a good hug, because that is what they apparently all wanted. They pretty much hug attacked me. I didn't mind, was just a bit surprising. A lot of people were already drunk and a few guys tried to chat me up and "accidentally" bump into me. Sus found Martin and I rolled my eyes. I knew I would be left alone now.

I tried to look for a couple of other friends to chat to. It was mainly guys, however, and I didn't really chat a lot with them. A couple of them are sweet, alright, but few of them actually mean anything to me, as friends. I then ran into Malene. She was the definition of a drunk girl at a party. She looked stunning, as well. I didn't realize it was her until she had pounched me and given me a tight hug, pushing herself against me by that point I had fallen over into a couch, on top of someone who quickly moved out of the way. She literally chatted my head off, pretty much with drunken speech, about how she was invited, showed up with no one she really talked to and then just slowly got drunk from guys giving her drinks. She said she talked a bit to Martin about Sus, which interested me a bit. Martin didn't say much, though, since the relationship was still at an early stage. Malene was sitting on my lap and leaning against my chest, while she chatted. She played a bit with my hair but I had no idea where to put my hands or what to do about it. She was being extremely sweet and chatty, which I loved, but I just felt uncomfortable since I didn't know a lot about drinking and how it affected people.

Malene had to go to the toilet so I tried to find Sus. She was standing by the bar, apparently trying to flirt the bartenders for some drinks. She seemed a bit tipsy. She saw me coming and said something to the bartender. They nodded and looked at me. I felt very uncomfortable, until Sus came over, wrapped her hands around me and planted a deep kiss right on my unsuspecting lips. I could hear the guys applauding, but my focus was right on my lips. I could feel myself be flushed, blushing hard and not knowing what to do with myself, again. She broke the kiss and looked at the guys. I didn't sense a thing. I was in a state of confusion, of feeling flushed, feeling warm and cold. I had no idea where to put this unfamiliar feeling, mainly because I knew it was just a play for the guys. There was nothing there for her, but there was for me. I felt sadness. I still feel sadness.

Malene came back and saw me looking a bit glum. She asked me about it. I shrugged it off. She got a bit pushy, saying I always shrug off everything. "It is good to talk about it, I felt great after having talked to you" she said. I sat there, in my own little bubble, with the loud music around and Malene trying to come in. I decided to give her half the truth. Sus kissed me because the boys said they'd give her drinks if she did. It shocked me a bit because I was not used to it. I gave Malene a thing to consider, something close. I told her that it was my first proper kiss. She needed a couple of seconds to understand what I said. She looked a bit drowsy, but still beautiful in the top she was wearing, her hair down and a bit of paint on. I noticed a guy who kept looking at me, and have been all night, but I didn't recognize him. I took Malene by the hand and went outside a bit, just to get a bit away. Malene hadn't said anything yet. I asked her if she was okay. She nodded and smiled, then as I leaned against the wall, she leaned in and gave me a kiss, just as deep as Sus' was. I almost fell, my knees felt weak. I blushed again, but I enjoyed it a bit. She broke the kiss, smiled and said "Now you have had your second kiss". It must have made sense, in a drunken way. I was just flushed once more. Nothing more happened, as she went inside and left me there.

The party ended relatively early, as a couple of parents found out about the party. Sus and Malene asked if they could sleep at my place, both of them relatively drunk. Sus would hate entering an empty house alone, while Malene had already lied to her parents and said she was sleeping at my place. I decided that the bed was big enough for all of us, so we just jumped in. The two others fell asleep quickly, while I was trying to think over what the hell just happened. My mind never drew a good conclusion, so I decided to go to sleep.

Saturday: I woke up at about 10 am. Sus had sneaked out and Malene was using me as a cuddle toy. I didn't mind, but sneaked out from underneath her arm and went downstairs to explain where we were yesterday and why Sus and Malene was staying. They didn't mind at all but was a bit surprised I didn't drink anything at the party. Maybe another time, I said. I have amazing parents, unlike Sus. Thank you, mom and dad. I went back up to Malene, who have awoken. With a nasty headache, she said. I brought her some water as well as some food while we chatted about yesterday. She could remember it all, so she wasn't all gone. She said she was a bit embarrased about the kiss but I said she should think nothing about it and that she also was cuddling me when I woke up. She blushed. It was cute, I smiled and she smiled back. Water under the bridge.

I followed Malene back home and figured I might as well go for a run. When we got to her place, she wanted to join as well, so we went for a nice, long run. Her headache was gone and she was a bit playful. We ended up on a playground where we just ran around, used the swings, like we were kids. It was an amazing feeling. Like your youth came back and gave you a gentle embrace. We hung out most of the day. She is a fun girl to be with, I laughed a lot from her jokes and felt great being around her. Sus came to my house at around 5 pm and hung out with us. I asked how it went with Martin and everything and she seemed a bit out of it. Said it went fine, but it felt like she didn't really care. Malene was trying to cheer her up a bit with a few jokes and her smile and it seemed to warm Sus up just great. Martin came around and Sus went out with him. She seemed less and less happy being with him, but Martin seemed rather normal. There was something bugging Sus that she didn't want to come out with.

Sus called us and said there was another party at the same guy as before. I asked Malene if she wanted to go and she really did. Said it was fun yesterday. I went along for her sake and Sus. I really need to figure out what is going on with her. We went to the shower (I got my own personal shower, so it is a bit hard for any kind of privacy), which was a bit embarrassing since this is the first time I saw her really naked and the other way around. She just smiled at it and teased at my obvious discomfort. Mostly because I was ashamed of my own body, despite working out constantly. Hers was amazing, though. A bit chubby, but it sat on her well. I complimented her, pretty much just splurted it out there. I blushed a bit afterwards, when I noticed but she blushed as well and commented mine. Awkwardness was over by then and we just got ready. Malene had packed a bag full of clothes so she had something proper to wear. She allowed me to set up her hair, which she complimented. I felt it looked better that way, too.

Anyway, we went to the party and met up with Sus, who was hanging outside. Someone I have never seen before was chatting with her, but she didn't seem to care much about him and pretty much ignored him. She looked uncomfortable and sad. Malene went inside while I asked her what was wrong. "It's Martin" she just responded, sniffling in. She looked cold so have probably been standing there for awhile.

Diary, I am going to have to cut it short. I've been writing for almost 3 hours now. More tomorrow, I promise. Good night.
