my teacher

chapter 126

Mark is throwing a huge party at his house. The thing is, I really wanted to go.. and meredith said no. I kinda lied to her.

I feel really bad, but I wanted to go really bad. I told her I'm hanging out with one of my other friends today for a few hours.

"Derek! Derek! Derek!" Everyone chants as I chug a massive glass of beer. "Ah!" I punch the air happily and accidentally drop the glass on the floor. Everyone cheers me on.

"Shit" I whisper to myself as I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket, and pull it out only to see merediths calling me.

"Everyone shut up!" I yell. A few people look at me. "Hey!" Mark yells. Everyone shuts up. They turn off the music. "My girlfriends calling, shh" I put my finger to my lips. I'm very drunk.

Everyone stays completely silent. "Hi baby" I answer it. "Hey, I just wanted to see if you're okay" she says. "I'm okay, why wouldn't I be okay? I'm fine!" I say. Mark hits me lightly.

"What's wrong with you?" She giggles softly. "Nothing, what's wrong with you?" I ask. "Nothing!" She says. "If you say so, weirdo" I say. Mark shakes his head in disappointment. My eyes widen. Am I being weird?

"I'll speak to you later mer, I love you.. byeeee!" I say. "Okay then, bye" she says quietly. I hang up.

"That was smooth" a guy says. I nod in agreement. "Turn up the music!" I yell, jumping up and down. The music turns back on and Everyone goes back to dancing.

Merediths pov:
I frown, putting down my phone. That was weird. I shrug and pick up my glass of wine from the coffee table.

A few hours later, I'm in one of Derek's shirts and I'm watching a movie in the living room, laid on the couch. I decide to text him.

Me: I miss you
Derek: do you want me to come home?
Me: if you want..
Derek: I'll be fifteen minutes, yeah?
Me: okay. Love you!
Derek: I love you more baby

I take a few more sips of my wine. I've not had a day to myself in a while. It was nice. I drank a whole bottle of wine and ate half a tub of icecream.

I know it's sad, but honestly, all I've wanted to do all night is cuddle with my boyfriend in bed and watch a movie with him. I used to love being alone, but he just makes everything so much more fun and relaxing.

I'm not stupid, I know derek snuck out to marks party tonight. He'll probably come home really drunk, but I'm not angry.

He's eighteen years old, sometimes I forget that hes just a teenager. He wants to go out and have fun with his friends, not stay in with his boring girlfriend all the time. I just want to take care of him, but he makes his own decisions, not me.

I smile, looking back as the front door opens and he stumbles in. His eyes widen as he sees me and he straightens up. I grin.

He closes the door and locks it before walking over slowly, trying not to trip. "Hi darling" I giggle as he sits next to me. "Hello" he dodges my kiss. His breath probably reeks of alcohol.

"Kiss" I say. He kisses me quickly.
"Come here" I hug him. He rests his head on my chest, cuddling into me.

"I know you went to the party" I say quietly. He pulls away quickly. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry mer" he backs away from me. I chuckle, rolling my eyes.

"Come here sweetie, I'm not mad" I hold my arms out to him. "Really?" He slowly moves closer to me. "I promise" I hug him. He cuddles into me again.

"I am sorry, I really didn't like lying to you" he says seriously. "I know" I kiss his head.

"Can I go to bed? I feel sick" he mumbles. "Yeah, I'm just gonna clean up down here then I'll join you" I say. He kisses me deeply on the lips before getting up and going upstairs to bed.
