The Last Petal

Chapter 3

•??????'s POV•

"I wanna watch the football match now Harold!" Louis shouted trying to take the remote control from my hand.

"Shut up Louis." I mumbled concentrating on the TV's screen. This hottie walking..

"Louis what's her name?" I asked him still checking her out. Oh god I want her!

"Who? Why am I supposed to know?" He replied walking out of the room. It looks like I'm not getting her.

"Hello? El! Babe I missed you so freakin much! No me more Eliboo!" Louis was on the phone with Eleanor. This makes me sick..

"I love you! No me more! Yes her more! No one CARES!" I shouted at him mocking him with a disgusted face.

He ignored, rolled his eyes and went to his room to do more of that, whatever, better than here next to me.

I was alone today.. Nothing to do. I slumped onto the couch calling anyone to see if I could hangout with any other human being.

•Elena's POV•

Jake's head was resting on my lap while I went through his hair with my fingers.

"I like you." He whispered his fingers tracing circles on my thighs.

"Shut up." I chuckled holding his hand to take it away from my thighs. He giggled back and took my hand and kissed it lightly.

I blushed lightly. "School's tomorrow." I reminded him.

"Yeah. I'm sooo exciteeed." He made fun of me sarcastically not knowing what I meant.

"Don't be a douchebag! It'll be nice if you tried to make a good entrance. Like we won't walk to school hand in hand and .. You know, just like that." I hope he understood a word from what I said.

I really wasn't that into Jake. I don't know why I felt a little concerned about hurting him, especially that he would be the first boyfriend I will ever have.. If I did date him but I won't. I've been looking for the right guy and I never found him and Jake was just a friend but I never wanted to say goodbye now.. Even before he asked me to be his girlfriend.

"Don't you think it's a bit too early for us to become a couple?" As if he was reading my mind!

I narrowed my eyes at him as he wriggled to sit back in his own position on the couch. Early? Okay that was better than I thought it would go. I secretly thanked god he thought it was early.

"Yes. You're right. I prefer us friends more than a couple. It would be awkward." I replied smiling relieved.

I was in my room after a long night with Jake. I listened to my phone buzz silently next to me as I forced myself to ignore it and watch the stupid "Who will win the fish" show on my TV. It was Cody. He was texting and calling and texting and calling and his voice messages were too cheesy and perverted at some times.

I really had this urge to block him but his presence on my phone - I have to admit - was something that made me a bit anxious to know what is being said or written. I walked over to my bathroom and pulled out my Spongebob Squarepants hoodie as I stripped off my shirt and put it on swiftly.

My phone buzzed again. When I looked at the name. It was "Harold" on the screen, I only had his number to know who it is when he calls but I didn't change his name because that's what he introduced himself as on the phone. I don't actually contact him. I looked at the text.
