Falling for the Broken

18: Condom Shopping

"One persons craziness, is another persons reality." -Tim Burton

"Oh. My. God!" I heard a voice shriek madly, causing my eyes to shoot open. "Tommy, come here! You have to see this!"

It took my mind a few seconds to register that it was Olivia's voice that was spluttering out hysterics. Rubbing my eyes, I looked around to gather my surroundings when I saw that my arm was draped over Aaron's and our legs were mingled together.

Immediately, I pulled away as speedily as my body could manage, resulting in my whole self falling un-gracefully on to the hard floor in a heap thus acquainting myself with the carpet. A loud 'thump' sound encompassed the room as I rubbed my head.

"Ow!" I tiredly complained as I sat up, peeling myself away from the ground.

"That's where all the condoms went!" Olivia gasped, pointing accusingly at Aaron who was rendered dumbfounded. He scratched his head making his hair messy as he sat up on my bed. I managed to get to my feet as soon as Tommy raced into the room.

"I didn't steal your damn condoms." Aaron yawned.

"Dude, you guys had unprotected sex?" Tommy's jaw dropped as he looked at the current situation.

"It's not how it looks!" I protested.

"Eleanor Watson!" Olivia was horrified. "I thought you were going out with Charlie?"

To be quite honest, I guess it did look like Aaron and I had done the dirty but, obviously, we hadn't done such a thing. We'd slept, and that was all we did.

"Wait, wait, wait," Aaron made sure everyone was quiet. He was going to explain the situation clearly to them. "Your full name is Eleanor?"

Or not.

"Really, Aaron?" I sighed at his idiocy but addressed his question. "No, my name isn't Eleanor. It's Ellie."

"Oh, I think Eleanor is nicer." Tommy interjected.

"Nah, I prefer Ellie." Aaron fully thought about it.

"Guys! Ellie's name isn't important right now. You both had sex!" Olivia cut in. "What happened to Charlie?"

"It didn't work out." I replied. "But anyway, we didn't have s-"

"And what about you with Miss Make Believe?" Tommy looked to Aaron. "Your fake date."

Wait, Tommy knew Aaron was lying? And that bastard didn't tell me? Instead he gave my date condoms. Nice going, Tommy.

"Nothing, dumbass. She didn't exist." Aaron looked at his friend as if he were stupid.

"Oh shit, yeah." Tommy realised.

"You didn't really have a date?" Olivia was shocked.

"He made it up because-" Tommy began.

"Guys!" I shut them all up. "We didn't have sex, my date went bad and Aaron didn't really have a date. So, can we just drop it and get the hell out of my room?"

Even if I did do it with Aaron, it was none of their business. Sure, I would have told Olivia afterwards and she'd probably tell Tommy but, right now, I was in my pyjamas in bed with Aaron. Not to mention I was beginning to get a headache since I fell flat on my head. But anyway, we didn't do anything.

"Then explain the missing condoms. I go into the bathroom and see an empty condom box in the bin. I walk into your room and see you both in bed together." Olivia narrowed her eyes. "I'm not stupid."

"Tommy gave them to Charlie." Aaron glared at his friend which made Tommy smile innocently.

"Well I didn't know you liked her until after she left." Tommy held his hands up in surrender.
