Good Girl Gone Bad

~14~

It's been a little less than a month since I've spoken to Declan and so far he has kept his promise. Everything has pretty much gone back to normal. Harlow and I are just as close as before. We do everything the same. Since me and Darren have forgiven each other. He has left me alone for the most part. Then again we are closer than we were before. He doesn't go to work as much. Or on as many trips. Everything is very perfect. Just how I like it.

Except for Georgie. Harlow has become weirdly close to him and I don't like it. It's her choice though she can do whatever she wants. He occasionally says hi to me in the halls but only when he's not with Declan. Sometimes my mind wanders to the day I met Declan and sometimes I miss it. It's crazy. My heart and my head are not on the same page.

After a long Saturday morning I decided to go downstairs for lunch. If you're wondering where my big brother (who was supposed to make me food) was, he had to go to an emergency meeting and he hasn't come home yet. Leaving me all alone. I would normally go to Harlow's house but she had to do something with Lucas.

I decided that there is nothing I want to eat so I just ordered Taco Bell on uber eats. Right as I finish placing my order I hear a weird sound from my room. I quickly grabbed my old softball bat from the hallway closet and quietly walked up the stairs. I got to my room which is where I heard the sound coming from and slowly opened my door.

Of course it decided to squeak.

I opened the door and was shocked when nothing was there. "Am I crazy?" I asked myself. That's when I felt a pair of soft hands cover my mouth.

"Bug it's me Declan, don't scream okay. I'm going to let go now" he let his hands fall to his side. I took a step forward and turned around to face him. I let out a soft sniffle and I watched him study my face.

"Bug I didn't mean to scare you that bad" he stepped closer and wiped my cheek. "I wasn't crying, you jerk" I slapped him on the chest. "Sure you weren't,"he smiled. "Okay fine but it's only cuz I scare easily and I thought I was about to get taken and killed. You know what I bet you'd be crying to you psycho, and you can't keep breaking into my house. I have a front door you know" I said slightly out of breath. He looked at me as if I was the crazy one here. "I was rambling wasn't I? I was sorry it's just a bad habit. I got it from my sister and I did it again" I blushed and looked away. He chuckled at me.

"Hey why are you even here? We are not allowed to talk, remember our promise" I said. "I know okay I just couldn't help it. It's weird but I feel like we're just supposed to be friends. Even though I barely know you it feels like I always have. It's hard to explain. We were together all day that day. I'm still here. I'm okay and I'm not going anywhere I promise." he said with pleading eyes.
