ANOTHER CHANCE

Crystal Clear

After 1 min and 17 seconds, yes I was counting, I heard a sound and it was of that bitch calling Austen's name. My blood started boiling. What was she doing at his house this late at night. "You know what Austen we'll talk after she leaves your house." I said as sweetly as possible. "Then I don't think we'll be able to talk for two days and she is not what you think she is. She is m......" But before he could complete his sentence I started, "You know what Austen, just get lost. I should have expected this to happen sooner or later, but I thought you chan..." But he didn't let me finish what I was saying.

"Shut up." he shouted from the other end. And boy, he was damn angry. "Ok now just listen to me," he said, sounding much calmer than earlier, "It's not what like you think it is. Let me explain from the start, okay?" he asked. "Hummmm." I answered as I nodded my head. "Good," he begun. "she is Freya, my cousin. When you called we were trying to cook lunch cause there was no one at home except the two of us and I was taking the pasta out of the oven. Then, I called you after six hours cause I was spending time with mom and dad and not with anyone else. And coming to the last part, Freya is staying with us in my house from the past two weeks. Now can you please calm down a little and take in deep breaths?" He asked. My eyes were wide open but I still did as he said. I took a breath through my nose and let it out slowly through my mouth.

"Are you feeling better?" Austen asked before I started with my apology. "Austen I'm so sorry, I just over reacted. I should have asked you about it, I'm sorry "Shhhhhh....." Austen said, "Its ok." He said but I cut him off, "No it's not ok. I shouldn't have ignored you without even knowing what was going on." "Ella, shhhhh. It's ok, I understand and I would have felt the same thing if I came to know that a boy was living with you in your house. It's ok baby. And you know what, I am thinking of pulling out some more stunts like this." And then he chuckled making me smile.

"I'm sorry." I said and he replied, "Now if you say that word once again I'm going to ignore you for the rest of my life, wait that would be too much." He said and I chuckled. "Now that's my girl. Ok now I want a kiss." I smiled as I shook my head, "So, what do I do if you want a kiss." I said .

"Excuse me, according to the constitution of relationship, if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants a kiss you give them one." He answered in a lawyer like tone and I rolled my eyes. "And I, Austen being your boyfriend want a kiss, so come on." He continued. I smiled once again and said, "Number one, I don't think there is any constitution of relationship and number two being don't ever become a lawyer, you suck at it." He laughed and said, "Ok fine, I'm waiting." "For what?" I asked with an innocent voice.

"Ella give me a kiss already." He said sounding frustrated and I took that as my cue to stop irritating him. I placed my lips on the mouth piece and, "Muuuaaaahhhhhhh." "Ok I feel jealous of your phone right now." Austen said and I knew that he had a big victorious smirk on his face. "Awww...," I said and then continued, "Ok now, when are you coming back?" "By Wednesday, I guess." He said as I started counting the days on my fingers.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

"That's after five freaking days Austen. " I shouted in the phone. "Ya I know and I miss you too." He said all casually. He is such an idiot, with all letters in caps. "Ok Ella, I'll talk to you later I need to have dinner."

Wait he didn't have dinner and it was already 10:45. "Why didn't you have dinner?" I asked to which he replied, "I was just worried about why you won't talk to me so I didn't feel like eating." And that my dear friends, had my heart melting. "Ok talk later. Bye." I said and then cut the call.

******************

"Get up you two idiots." I heard Ethan's voice booming in my ears. I pulled a pillow from somewhere and pressed it against my ears blocking the whole scenario and going back to dreamland. The pillow was pulled from me and someone shouted in my ears.

I got up in a sitting posture rubbing my sleepy eyes and shouted, "Shut yourself in a closet and die you bastards."

When finally my eyes opened I saw two faces staring at me with big grins. Leaving them there I looked at the wall clock and it was only 8 in the morning. I finally turned my head towards their direction when I heard a clapping sound. Those two idiots were high fiving each other. "Looks like princess one is awake now time for the second one.", Jon stated moving towards Liana. He pulled her pillow apart and shouted in her ears, but unlike me, she didn't get up. Instead she slapped Jon across his face in her sleep.

Jon had his mouth wide open with shock as he held his hand on his cheek where Liana had slapped him. Looking at this Ethan and I burst into laughs and Ethan fell down face first on the floor causing me to laugh even more badly.

"Dude can we have an action replay? I need a recording of this to put it on insta and fb." I said after I finally stopped laughing. Both of them shook their head and pointed their index fingers at Li's sleeping figure and said, "Help."

"Losers!" I told looking at them and then set on my work to wake my bff by my same old method.

"Move." I told them cause they were standing right next to where Li would fall. They nodded and obeyed. '1, 2, 3' I thought in my mind before pushing her out of the bed. At this she woke up and I looked at Jon and Ethan who hadtheir mouth wide open. "Aren't I amazing?" I asked them as they nodded their head with their eyes still on Li, who was sitting on the floor rubbing her head, and their mouth still wide open.

*************

We were now sitting in the boat in the center of the lake. And guess what, as if the day couldn't get any more irritating Jon and Ethan were fighting over a packet of nachos thus shaking the boat. Snatching the packet from the others hand they looked like two girls fighting over a boy. God! Guys and their food obsession. Definitely, if they are not morons or idiots or bastards they are foodies.

And now god thought that these two weren't enough to handle; Li's packet of nachos got over and she went to fight with them over the packet. And here I thought only boys were foodie. I looked up to the sky and sighed then bringing my attention back to my fighting friends.

"Fucking hell, sit down guys or all of us will be in the water." I said trying to calm them down for the hundredth time but to no avail. "Liana, Jon and Ethan all of you better sit down before I push you into this water." And with that shout all of them sat down.

"Finally!" I said taking in a deep breath and pulling the packet of nachos away from them so that they don't start their food war again.

Looking at the packet I felt pity at its condition. I just hope no other packet has to face this kind of a condition. 'What the hell! Stop it Ella, now you are going emotional for a packet of nachos.' With that I threw the packet into a basket and started enjoying the scenery.

"Selfie time!" Liana shouted and Ethan took out his iPhone 6 about which he was bragging for the last whole week. "El smile." Ethan shouted and clicked a picture as I smiled. "My chance." Li said and Ethan turned towards her clicking her pic.

"Guys we need a group pic." Jon said getting up and snatching Ethan's phone from him and coming towards where I and Liana were sitting. Ethan came hurrying towards us and before we could realize the boat went upside down and water surrounded me entering my mouth and nose.
