My famous neighbour (girlxgirl) - Anna Shumate

Chpater 51 - Wrong place, wrong time

Anna's POV

"Let's just go guys" I say to Emma, Eva and Sab who were looking at the whole fight situation happening a few minutes earlier and are now waiting for me.

"Is everything okay?" Eva asks, concerned.

"No" I say, opening the front door and leaving the party "I just want to go to sleep"

"We can figure this all out tomorrow, okay?" Eva says and smiles at me. I smile back at her, trying not to show how hurt I was from the whole Megan thing.

Of course I noticed earlier today that Megan had feelings for Ella. How could I not? Anyone could see it from the way she looks at her. But I never thought Ella might have feelings for her too. Otherwise, why would she be so upset about Mads kissing her?

I'm lost in my thoughts until I hear a scream coming from behind us.

"Guys, wait!" Mads says, running to catch us. She almost trips and I can see how drunk she still is. What is going on with everyone today?

"Hey you okay?" Sab asks as she gets closer to us.

"Yeah yeah I'm okay" She says and then turns to me "I didn't want any of that to happen, I didn't know your girlfriend would be so upset about her friend"

I hate to admit this, but she's kind of right. One thing is somebody hit on your partner. Another completely different thing is doing it with a single girl who you're supposedly friends with.

"It's fine" I say, sighing. "I didn't know she would be this mad either"

As we're almost home, Mads trips again and puts her arm around my waist so she doesn't fall. I try to help her get there intact so I put my arm around her shoulder for support.

We make it and as soon as we're in, she passes out on the couch.

Damn, alcohol is a bitch.

I let the girls take care of her and go to my room. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now. I'm angry, jealous, sad, suspicious...all at the same time.

Taking my clothes off and putting on a hoodie, I lay on my bed ready to end the night. I close my eyes but my thoughts don't let me rest.

I turn to one side of the bed. Ella doesn't like you.

Turn to the other side of the bed. You're being too vulnerable.

Fuck. How do I turn them off? Maybe I can't sleep right now.

I go back downstairs to see if anyone is still up but I only see Mads still laying on the couch. She looks like she's not doing really well.

"You okay?" I ask her. No response. "Are you up?" I say, whispering.

"Yes I'm up" She says with her eyes still closed. "Didn't you go to sleep?"

"Can't" I reply, sitting next to her.

"Are you Anna? Or Eva?" She asks and I giggle.

"Anna"

"Well, you might wanna move from there" She says as she gets up, making me confused.

"Huh?"

"I'm literally gonna throw up on you if you don't move" She says and I immediately get up and take her by the arm.

"Come on let's go outside" I say and guide her to the front door. As soon as I open it she runs and vomits in the front yard garden. I'm feeling kind of bad to be honest.

"Better?" I ask.

"Yeah, thank you" She says and I notice she's a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, we've all been through that"

She gives me a shy smile and we go back inside. As I was closing the door I take a look at Ella's house. All the lights from downstairs were off, meaning that the party was already over. Only her room had lights still on.

I didn't want to go to sleep with doubts. Should I go over there? I want things to be right.

I look over to see if Mads is okay and she made it to the couch so I guess it's a yes.

"Can you stay here alone for a little? There's something I need to do" I ask her and she looks at me standing at the door.

"Sure Anna. Don't worry about me, go go" She says and I give her a smile, leaving the house.

I try to open Ella's front door but it's locked. Ugh.

I start trying to figure something out when I remember the day I snuck into her place. With the help of a...tree.

Fuck it I'm climbing this shit again. I go step by step until I make it to her bedroom window.

Maybe I just have stayed at home, because seeing her only with underwear on jumping into bed with Megan hurted more than a stab in the heart.
