Just Like Heaven (lottienat)

Chapter 8 - Seventeen

the movie has finished and the girls had just said their goodbyes to van. the storm had stopped and they plopped into Nat's bed.

"sooo?.." lottie asked

a moment of silence stood between them.. slightly awkward but nothing concerning

"oh shit how about we go to yours? are your parents home?"

"no actually.. they're travelling Asia at the moment, sooo i have the whole house to myself for..." lottie thinks, pausing, "5 weeks?"

nat grinned; she saw the pupils of Lottie's eyes widen

"dude..." nat took Lottie's hand, trying to hold herself back from squealing

lottie looked at her, left eyebrow slightly rose.

nat ginned and put her mouth next to Charlottes ear. nat gained a whiff of the girls perfume, the peach lip balm and her 'essential' strawberry hair mist.

"how big is it"

her sneaky smirk grew

—————————————————

the girls ran down the main road, leading to that field where Nat had found her Marshall speaker. they ran.. and ran.. and ran.. until their legs couldn't handle it any longer. they both fell to the floor, laughing. lottie rearranged herself so that where nat was propping up her torso with her arms, lottie was laying in between the girls legs, the back of her head rested just below Nats bra. Nats right hand reached for lotties. laying in the cold, wet muddy field, the grass coming up to their chests.

"if we're gonna have a party, we need to get there so we can plan and phone people up.. c'mon!"

as nat when to let go of the brunettes hand and push herself up, she got stopped. lottie didn't let go. she hesitated.

"what's wrong?" nat asked after her moment of realisation that lottie didn't want to get up. it's almost as if she didn't want to go home to her.. empty house?

lottie hesitated to speak.. a heavy breath exited her mouth when she tried to talk

"dude seriously are you okay? we don't have to have a party if that's not what you want? we can just chill or go somewhere else?"

"that's not it." she paused for a few seconds. "i do want to have a party..i do! it's just.. it's what happens at the party that i'm... worried about" she replied loosening her grip of nats hand, not realising how hard she had been squeezing. the girls hand was white.

"what do you mean lot?"

"my parents are very.. protective? they have cameras everywhere in the house, except the bathrooms" lottie told the small blonde who looked into the distance in confusion and concern

"lot! that's not protective that's just fucking invasive and you know it!" nat was riled up at this point. picking up Lottie by her underarms, standing up with her. lottie frowned slightly looking at her muddy black docs.

"nat...." lottie wasn't finished

"is that even fucking legal? to have cameras in your home? especially in a fucking underage teenage girls bedroom?!!" nat hoffed, shouted. she let it all out 

 "that's not the only reason.." lottie blurted. Nat stared into her eyes with her hands placed on lotties shoulders.

"wha- what do you mean?"

"my parents are fine with parties... they couldn't care less about the people, or even the alcohol, but once in 10th grade i forgot about the camera in my room. Clara Pine and I wen't up there and things got... well you know..."
