Deception

chapter four- i want chinese

I finally made me my way to the kitchen / living room by the following the noise , i was met the site of Luca and Xavier shouting about which takeout to have Leo sat on his phone , Alessandro head in his hands and Matt having a drink,

"Guys! calm the fuck down i want Chinese so well have that- sorted" i smiled sweetly and got the menu up of the best Chinese near us on my phone and gave it to luca and Xavier who were sat in a mood with me cutting them both off , i walked into the kitchen where Matt was having a drink still,

"got any vodka matt?" i asked needing a drink,

"yeah top cupboard on the right above stove" he replied without even glancing at me,

i got a glass from the side and poured the vodka in halfway before going to the fridge to dilute it with something , i found some pepsi and poured the end it before taking a swig, i swallowed it quickly , the coke barely diluting it. The vodka brings down the volume on my thoughts. It brings memories of good times past, and I let myself dwell in them rather than think of the reality.

i walk back into the living room and sit next to Leo on the sofa, he's writing down the order of the guys in his phone ,

"what do you want ?" he looks down at me ,

"chicken chow mein please" i say it being my go to order since i was about 12,

he nods before writing it and then matthew takes his phone to go order it ,

i look for my phone to see luca looking through, i get up and snatch it from him,

"keep out of my business please" i say narrowing my eyes at him,

"who's Felix? Av " he says winking at me, i groan

"he's my best mate and only a mate don't be gross Luca"

I notice Leo tensing beside , i wonder what's got him in such a mood,

"sure sure" Luca says before dumping his body next to me on the sofa,

"am i going to school tomorrow?" i ask the group not knowing who's really in charge of me,

"no" Leo replied short and sweet as always. not.

"why?" wondering if there's an actual reason,

"you're not meant to go back until next week "

"that's not a reason , i'll go back tomorrow i'm sick of sitting around all day it's all i've been doing since the crash"

"Av " Leo warned me not to argue with him but did i ever fucking listen to him,

"Leo come in luca will be with me and you guys know where i am it'll be fine pleaseeeee" i whine ,

he looks at me with his eyebrow raised but getting up and muttering a quick fine before leaving,

the guys look at me shocked,

"what's with the long faces ?" i snigger,

"he doesn't listen to anyone that's all " matt speaks to me for the first time,

"well i'm just one of a kind i guess" i say looking down at my phone, "can we watch a film?"

Luca nods grabs the remote and puts netflix up , we flick through for awhile bickering on what to pick before we decide on 6 Underground as he thinks and i quote

"horrors are stupid and romance are boring"

me, Luca, matt and Alessandro are sat on the huge sofa when halfway through the film there's a knock at the door , i sit-up excitedly as i was starving, a few moments later Leo and Xavier walk in with the bags of chinese food , i take the bag off Leo and place it on the table , i pass round the food and set mine on the coffee table before sitting on the floor , Luca gives me a weird look as they all sit on the sofa with their food, Leo of course sitting directly behind me .
