I groan as I get woken up in the morning by the sound of my phone ringing. I am soon happy again as I realise I'm in dereks arms. I smile.

I roll over, picking up my phone. "Hello" I say. "Hi honey" my mom says. "Oh, hi mom" I sit up.

"I just wanted to apologise.. I shouldn't have shouted at you yesterday.. I'm just stressed out because of work and took it out on you.. I'm sorry" she says. I smile.

"Um mom.." I say. "Yeah?" She asks. "Remember.. I forgive you.. you shouted at me yesterday and I still love you.. remember that when I tell you what I'm going to" I say.

"What did you do?" She asks. "I'm in london" I say. "What?!" She exclaims. "I'm sorry" I say. "How- what- why-" she stops, groaning.

"Are you okay? Did you get there safe?" She asks. "Yeah" I say. "We're going to talk about this when you get home.. you understand?" She asks. "Yeah" I say. She sighs.

"I love you mom" I say. "I love you too honey.. text me if you need any money transferred or anything" she says. "Thankyou" I say. "Bye" she says. "Bye" i hang up.

I let out a breath. I look down at derek who's still asleep and now has arms wrapped around my thigh, cuddled into it. I chuckle softly. I run my fingers through his hair.

He opens his eyes slowly. I smile, looking down at him. "Good morning" I say. "Morning" he mumbles into my thigh. I giggle.

He sits up slowly. "You seem happier this morning" he says. "Yeah, my mom called me.. we're okay now" I say. "Good" he says.

"What about your friends? Why are they angry with you?" He asks. "A guy from our year- one of our friends asked me out and I said no.. he told them all that I said bad things about them to him" I say.

"What?" He says shocked. "I told them he was lying and they said they believe me but its just.. not been the same" I say. "I'm so sorry" he says. I smile small. "Its okay.. I guess" I say.

"I'm sorry for freaking out last night.. I'm not normally so emotional, I swear" I chuckle. He smiles. "Stop apologising" he says. I smile.

"I feel kinda embarrassed" I look down. "Don't be.. I wouldn't judge you" he puts his hand on my cheek. I look into his eyes. I smile.

"Do you have school today?" I ask. "No" he says. "What are you doing then?" I ask. "Nothing really" he shrugs. "Can we stay here all day?" I ask. "We can do anything you want" he says. I smile.

"How long are you staying here?" He asks. "As long as you'll let me.. I dont want to annoy you or anything" I say.

"You can stay here as long as you want" he says. I smile. "And you never annoy me.. too much" he says. I giggle. I lay down under the covers. He lays next to me.

"I missed you so much" I say. He smiles. "I missed you" he says. "So.. what have you been getting up to?.. I know you've told me most of it over facetime but.." I ask. "I have people to talk to at school now" he says.

"Really? That's good, who?" I smile. "Mhm.. George, Andy and april" he says. "April?" I ask. "Yeah" he says. "Mhm" I turn so I'm laid on my back, looking at the ceiling.

"What?" He asks. "Nothing" I say. "Are you jealous?" He chuckles, putting his hand on my stomach. "No!" I say. He chuckles softly.

"am I not allowed to be friends with other girls?" He grins. "You can do what you want" I shrug. He smiles. "You're jealous" he says. "No, I'm not" I say.

He chuckles. "Just.. does she- have you ever talked about me to her?" I ask. "Nope never" he says. I frown. "I'm kidding.. of course I've talked about you" he says. I smile.

"Do I get to meet them?" I ask. "Yeah" he says. I'm going to kiss him right infront of the bitch. "Okay" I say calmly.

He puts his hand on my cheek. I smile, looking at him. "Hey, how did you afford the ticket?" He asks. "My mom gives me an allowance and I've been saving it up for a while" I say.

I drape my arm over his waist. He kisses me softly. I smile, looking into his eyes. I kiss him again.

I move into his arms. We just talk for the rest of the day, he makes us something to eat and we fall asleep.
