I've been at Risa's house for almost an hour and a half. I'm beginning to get scared.
"Risa," I begin, a worried expression on my face.
She cuts me off before I can even start my sentence. "No. Don't worry about it."
"He said he'd be back in a few minutes."
"It hasn't been that long, Natalie."
I give up. If she's not worried, I probably shouldn't be. I stretch out on the couch and pull out my phone, opening up twitter.
As usual, I have several mention notifications. Usually I don't go through these, but I decide to today, to distract my mind.
A few days ago, Ed had tweeted me, "Hope your havin fun at home, have yet to receive a bra but if I do I'll think of you. See ya soon x"
I snicker. How romantic. I do remember, though, asking him several months ago when I'd first gone to his house if he'd gotten any bras. I couldn't believe that he'd remembered as well.
Except for the standard "Omg are you guys actually dating??", the responses to the tweet are hilarious. Things like "cheeky... ;)" and "Will you sniff it for her?"
I'm cracking up on the couch, and Risa looks at me smiling, obviously satisfied that I'm no longer freaking out. "What is it?" She asks.
I explain what Ed had tweeted and the fan responses.
She laughs too. "Yeah, I saw that. Commented on it, too."
"Really." I'm scared to know what exactly she wrote.
"Come here." She motions me over to where she's sitting and shows me te long string of replies she'd written, mimicking the obsessed Ed fans. We're laughing at them and scrolling through the comments, when Risa's phone rings. She reaches over and picks it up. The name says "Kyle :*"
She shoots me an 'I told you so!!' look and picks it up. I watch anxiously.
"Hey, Kyle."
She listens for a moment, her face steadily growing horrified. "The hell?" She mutters.
"What?" I exclaim, scooting closer to try and hear whats going on. She ignores me and puts a hand to her forehead.
"Babe, talk to me," She says urgently. "What's happening?"
A few seconds later, she stands abruptly. "I'll be there in five." Then, "Yes. I will. Bye."
I stare at her wide-eyed. "What is going on?!"
She hurries to the hall to get her keys, then rushes back and heads for the door. "Come on," she says. "We're going to Kyle's."
I hurry after her. "Why?"
She looks back at me grimly. "Tanner brought back-up."
