You belong with me

Chapter~21

Linda and Becky looked at each other,then looked back at Mark.

"A party? What party?" Linda nervously laughed ,she then nudged Becky with her elbow.

"I-I don't even know know what a party is." Becky said before mentally slapping herself.

Mark looked at them confused then turned around to get some water.
"Okay then."

Linda sighed in relief then looked at Becky opening her mouth to say something.

"Really Bex? You could have said anything else and you said that?"

"I was panicking!"

Linda rolled her eyes."Just calm down,we'll just have to try and convince him that we are not planning a birthday party for him even if we are."

Becky put up a thumbs up.

Mark returned to where Linda and Becky were and sat down.

"So,you guys aren't planning a birthday party?"

Linda smirked. "No we aren't."

Becky looked at Linda with a confused look on her face.

"We aren't?"

Linda looked at her with a glare.

Becky got the sign and cleared her throat nervously. "I mean, uh, we-we aren't."

Mark shrugged displaying his care-free attitude. "Okie-dokie."

It got late and Becky decided to go to sleep. She said goodnight to her parents before going upstairs to her bedroom. Once she reached her bedroom,she changed into her pyjamas and climbed into bed.

She closed her eyes getting ready to sleep. But suddenly,her phone started to ring.

Who the heck would call me at ten o' clock at night?

She grabbed her phone and answered putying the phone to her ears."Hello?"

"Hey, it's AJ."

"Oh,hey AJ. Are you not tired? Figuring you're calling me at like ten."

"Can I talk to you about something? I just want someone to rant to. Paige and Billie aren't  answering and I thought that I might call you."

Becky's tired eyes softened. She just wants someone to talk to. Becky, be a good friend and let her say whatever it is that she wants to say.  Becky's conscious told her.

"Of course. You can talk to me about anything you feel comfortable with."

"Thanks. I just feel like I'm alone most of the time. Like I have no shoulder to cry on and no one to tell me 'it's okay,you'll be fine."

AJ sighed before continuing," My parents argue non-stop and they might even be on the verge of divorcing. I-I don't want them to divorce. I want us to be happy family you know?"

"AJ,you have me,Paige and Billie to talk to if you want. Your family might not be perfect but I'm sure they love each other as much as they love you. Just think positive,alright?"

AJ sniffed before nodding her head. "Yeah,you're right. Thank you so much for letting me rant. I'm sorry for waking you so late at night."

"Don't worry about it. I wasn't even asleep. I'm happy you trusted me enough to rant all your troubles to me."

"I do trust you. Thank you so much Becky. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
