I'm sat on my couch, watching Television. I'm trying to concentrate but I can't stop thinking about that night. The night I first saw Eugene. She's so simple. Not too complicated to understand. I'm glad she hit me at that Party. I heard Liam talk about her all the time in the locker room. For a moment I thought she was his girlfriend but then he said she's the best sister he could ever ask for and I found myself a bit relieved. I didn't even know the girl. Just by hearing about her so much, I had this curiosity to meet her. She seemed so much like me. Then that road trip happened. I had started liking her already. The way she talked, the way she laughed, I liked everything about her. She just sits there and listens to me. She says there's not much to know about her but I think there is and I wanna know. When I was away in cheshire, I would lay down on my bed and I would think, what would Gene say if she saw the chick hatch from the egg? What would Gene do if she burnt a cupcake? What would she say if she were right here, next to me?
I couldn't stop thinking about her. I realised, Because I spend so much time with her I never really got a chance to miss her.
I love talking to her.
I love being with her.
I love kissing her.
I love her.
I talked to her on the phone but still there was something missing. There was always a smile on my face whenever she messaged or phoned. I would wait for it. The day I took her out to that garden, I wanted to tell her but I held myself back. She likes me. She definitely likes me but the question is,
Does she love me? I'm not sure.
Every time I kiss her, I don't wanna let her go.
If that's what love is then hell yeah, I am in love. I am in Love with Eugene Lane.
As I'm smiling at my thoughts my phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hey Harry, this is Penelope."
"Hey Nellie. What's up?"
"I wanted ta ask you something."
"Sure."
"Did ya know anythin about Where Gene was on Wednesday?"
"Yeah, she said she had a patient on urgent call."
"Oh so she didn't tell you either..."
"Didn't tell me what?"
"That she went to see Josh."
"Josh?"
Oh Josh. Is it that Josh she told me about? Is he her ex? Why would she go see him? Why didn't she tell me?
"Yeah..Josh Ryan? Did she tell ya 'bout him?"
"Err..No." I try to stay calm.
"Oh okay. Thanks anyway. Ta"
"Josh?" I say to myself.
She went to see him. Why? She didn't even mention him.
I look at my phone. I wanna call her and ask but who am I? I'm not her boyfriend. I'm not sure if she even loves me.
I couldn't sleep that night. Only one think was on my mind, she lied to me about seeing her ex boyfriend.
The next day we're at Liam's house. I see Gene but when I look at her face, I remember only one thing, she lied. I can't ignore her completely. I still love her and it hurts. I'm sat inside on the dining table when she comes and sits opposite to me.
I look at her. She looks as beautiful as ever but I look away.
"Gene, Can I talk to you?" Nellie takes her to the kitchen. I wanna know what they're talking about but the boys are too loud.
"I'm gunna be a fireman." Says Liam.
