Good Girl Gone Bad

~23~

Declan

I haven't spoken to Mani since lunch on Friday. And for me that's a long time. Every time I call her since then it just goes straight to voicemail. Every text since then gets read or not even opened.

Harlow is doing okay though. She's been coming over almost everyday since Monday. And not to hang out with me. She hangs out with Georgie. Yesterday they 'accidentally' fell asleep on the couch. When I woke Georgie up he just shrugged and went back to sleep. There is something going on with those two and they think I'm blind to it.

Yesterday I went to Mani's house and when I went to her window it was locked. It was never locked. I knocked on it but she didn't answer. Then I went to the front door like a regular person. When I asked Darren about her he said she was with her art project partner at the park. When I heard that my jaw literally dropped. Darren invited me in but I said I had to go back home.

"How's J.J treating you? Do I still need to take care of it?" I texted her. Then after almost an hour she said "He is actually not that bad. Thanks though. Gotta go talk later." Yea got to go hang out with J.J.

Mani

I miss Declan. But I like hanging out with Jon. I feel bad. No you don't stupid. Yea whatever. I wish they could hang out together.

"Hey I'm coming over. Be there in 2." Jon said. I went downstairs and sat on the couch. Once he got there I opened the door for him.

"Hey Jon. What's up?" I walked back toward the couch. "Nothing. I just got bored." I sat next to me. We talked for a little while. And we also tried to pick a show to watch.

Jon (a.k.a J.J)

Why is she so shaky? Out of nowhere. Goosebumps and shaking. She probably has a cold.

"Are you sick?" I asked, putting my hand on her forehead. She's not even warm. "I feel fine," she said, not looking at me. "Here" I slid my hoodie off and handed it to her. "Jon." She looked at me. "First, don't call me that because it makes me sound old. Second, take the damn hoodie" I put it in her lap.

She flinched when I said that.

She put it on and it was only a few sizes too big. Oh well.

My phone started ringing very loudly. Lacy. I declined. "Who was that?" she asked, paying attention to the movie that was playing. "Nobody," I said quickly. It rang again. For some reason it seemed louder. I declined again. She gave me a look but continued to watch the movie. Again it rang. I finally answered.

"Yes. I'm kind of busy at the moment." "Come back. Now." By her tone I knew she wasn't kidding. "I'm on my way" I hung up the call. "Go," Mani said, taking off the hoodie I gave her a few moments ago. "Keep it. I'm sorry I have to go" I ran out of her house.

Declan

As I was pulling in the driveway J.J ran out of the house. Interesting. I jogged up to her door and knocked. "I thought you had to go," she said as she opened the door. "Oh. Hey Declan." She walked back to the couch. That is not her jacket. That is not my jacket. That's his jacket.

"Aren't you gonna come sit down?" She looked at me. "No. I have to go" I turned around and went back to my car.

Mani

What is wrong with everyone?

I continued to watch my movie. Then the door swung open. Only two people do that. Harlow and Darren. "Hey Har," I said while still focusing on the TV. "I need to tell you something. It's very important. Seriously." She sat next to me. "Are you pregnant?" I asked quickly.

Her serious expression turned quickly into a smile. "No stupid" she shook her head. "It's about Georgie," she looked down. "Oh. Well, tell me." "Georgie and I are dating," she said mumbling. "What was that?" I said, shocked. "You heard me. I'm not saying that again." She blushed. "Okay. That's fine." She looked at me in shock. "You're not mad?" "Do you need me to be mad?" I replied sarcastically. "No!" She yelled. "Thank you" She smiled and hugged me. "Are you happy?" "Very."
