To an empty bed

You wake up, the room still dark, clearly it's still night. You roll around on your bed wondering why you're only using half of your own bed when you remember why. "Megan" you say to yourself, but you quickly realise that she is nowhere to be seen. You feel around for your glasses before putting them on and slowly crawling out of bed. You feel slightly worried as your drunken friend had suddenly disappeared.

Upon exiting your room you can see light coming from Megan's room as well as from the bathroom. You sneak towards the bathroom door, peeking into Megan's room as you pass it. You notice a shoe box sticking out from under Megan's bed, but other than that nothing looks out of the ordinary.

When you reach the bathroom door, instead of knocking, you open the door expecting to see Megan passed out by the toilet. Instead what you see is Megan sitting on the toilet, legs up and spread. One hand pumping a dildo in and out of her dripping pussy as the other is twisting one of her nipples. And all that while moaning "Al". You let out a yelp and quickly close the door, running back to your room. You drop face-first onto your bed, burying your head in your pillow, blushing like crazy.

"She has a crush on me?!" you thought, "Is this why she's always teasing me? And always being so nice? And trying to be friends even though we're completely different people?" Your mind racing, thinking of all sorts of different things and situations until there is only one thought left. "Do I like her that way?"... A difficult question to be sure, Megan has been your best friend for a while now, and although you've never seen her that way, she is very attractive.

Your thinking is interrupted when a sobbing Megan slowly opens the door to your room. "Al?" there was that tremble in her voice again, "Al I'm sorry... *sniff* I'm really sorry Al!" She just stands there, repeating those words.

Even all your new courage gotten through TransDev were barely enough for this situation, but you gather it all and **** yourself to stand up. You walk towards Megan, who at this point has gone from sobbing to full on crying. You quickly embrace her crying mess of a friend in a hug, slowly rocking her back and forth and whispering "It's alright". At some point you manage to get her back towards your bed to sit down, and after a while she finally calms down enough for her to ask a frightening question.

"Do you hate me now Al?" the tears that had slowed down started forming in the corners of her eyes once more. But this question ticked you off for some reason and you jumped to your feet. "What? THAT is your question?!" the words bursting out of your mouth as if a bomb went off, causing Megan to curl up and make herself as small as possible. "Of course NOT you idiot! How could you even think that? Because I found you masturbating while moaning my name? It's surprising and confusing, yeah, but in a weird way also kinda flattering... But no! I don't hate you!" You continue to berate the sobbing girl for quite some time while throwing many feelings, both positive and negative, that you had bottled up around. Megan listened, as you stood there recounting all the good, bad and weird that had happened between you two since you had met. Going from crying, to sobbing, to smiling, to crying, to calm and to serious. "-and I can't believe that after all the things we've been through that you would think I would hate you! What do you have to say for yourself?!" you shout and point at the girl sitting on the edge of your bed.

Megan says nothing. She just looks up at you, searching for the words that can answer your question. But she is unable to find them.

You step forward and open your arms, letting yourself fall forward onto your friend and making it a hug. You hold each other for a moment before you speak again, saying "Nothing can make me hate you Megs, even at your most annoying you're still my best friend. I don't know if I can return the feelings you seem to have for me, but I have never- and don't currently hate you. Please never ask me if I hate you again Megs, please?" now you are the one with tears crawling down your cheeks, and as Megan nods you crawl back under the covers while holding each other.

"What a way to end a night" is the last thought you have before you drift back to sleep.
