I flicked on my bedroom lights it had now gotten fairly dark and I needed perfect lighting for my video. I settled my laptop on the desk in front of me and clicked record,
"Hi everyone, thanks for watching first of all my name's Emma and this time I'm going to be singing Wherever you are by 5 seconds of summer." Once I done all the necessary introductions I hit play on the backing track took a deep breath before starting to sing.
"Wherever you are..." It was as I got to the chorus I noticed the bass start to join in, confused I carried on singing while trying to locate where it was coming from. Dread filled me when I realised I had seen a bass in Ben's room the other day helping him move in. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as I took a hesitant glance out my window, realising I had left it open. Sure enough Ben was sitting at his window playing the bass, our windows were parallel and extremely close so the sound carried easily. Sighing I clicked pause and stopped my video, as I went to close the window before I died of embarrassment Ben spoke up,
"You have a nice voice by the way,"
My cheeks burned red and I froze in my path,
"Thanks..." I muttered.
"No problem now move out the way."
I gawked, "Wait what, don't!" I cried realising what he was thinking. Too late he swung one leg out so he was half standing on his small windowsill before moving the other leg to meet. Petrified he was going to fall I moved out the way, to make space as he swiftly climbed inside. Regaining my senses, I began to move,
"What the hell, Ben get out! You can't be in here!"
Ben smirked "Nope I'm not moving." He replied crossing his arms over his chest.
"Ben seriously get out, if my sister sees..."
He cut me off,
"Sorry Em I'm not going anywhere."
Flustered I tried to usher him towards the window, it was failing miserably. Before I could push him he grabbed my arms irritated I tried to pull them back. My feet caught on the chair leg and I cried out as we both tumbled to the floor. I ended up landing on top of Ben, him still holding my arms.
Shock rippled through me,
"Oh gosh are you okay, I'm so sorry," I rambled on.
Ben laughed, properly laughed, I stopped confused a small frown on my face.
"Em, I'm fine, stop fretting it's okay."
I sighed in relief before realising the position we were in. I froze as Louise's voice filled the room, before snapping out of it and scrambling to my feet. Louise's smile told me she had seen and I cringed inside.
"Lou?" I asked,
"Oh nothing," she replied "I'll talk to you later." A smile still plagued her lips and she turned and walked out the door closing it behind her. I would have hell to pay for that later. I whirled on Ben now angry at him and his smirk,
"That was your fault!" I cried pointing a finger at him. In the back of my mind I knew I was being unfair it had been an accident and my fault if anyone's but I was so embarrassed I didn't care...
"Woah calm down Tiger, you're the one that fell into me," he chuckled getting up slowly.
"Yeah but your so... Just really... Ugh!"
Ben laughed "I'm not all that bad."
"Yes you are! Why are you even in my room? Get out! Your so annoying!" I exclaimed.
"Actually," Ben drawled, "There is a point to this, I want you to collaborate with me, you sing well and I play bass so together we would make a great team."
I stopped and stared, "No!" I finally said bluntly.
"Yes." Ben replied.
"No and you can't make me!" I exclaimed childishly. My thoughts were going wild why on earth would he want to partner up with me! I couldn't anyway I would be too shy, singing on my own is okay but with another person, well no way was that happening!
Suddenly Ben started to move closer to me, forcing me to back towards the window,
"B...Ben?" I asked nervously.
"Em, you know you want to co-operate just agree already, or I'll be forced to take drastic measures."
Half of me thought I should just give in, but my stubbornness just wouldn't allow it in the end. "No! Stop trying to intimidate me..."
Before I could even finish my sentence I was flung through the air, shock gripped my body and I swung out the window. I let out a squeal as I looked up at Ben with wide eyes. He was gripping my hand with his hanging me so I was swinging out the window, I scrambled for the windowsill and gripped onto that with my other.
"Ben! Ben! Please please pull me up!" I let out another scream when I felt a gust of wind.
"Ben!"
"Agree to collaborating and I'll pull you up," he said in a calm almost bored tone.
"Ben Ben please!"
I felt tears build up in my eyes threatening to fall, I was so scared.
"Agree," Ben said again.
My tears started to flow freely, "Okay okay whatever just pull me up!" I sobbed. Finally Ben pulled me up and I stumbled through the window. When he reached to steady me I whirled out of his grip and collapsed on my bed.After struggle to get my breath back due to hyperventilating
I realised Ben had been laughing at me for the past 10 minuets
"What a scaredy cat as if I would actually drop you out of the window".
Felling my blood reach boiling point I stormed my way to where Ben was standing and raised my hand in an attempt to punish him for my overwhelming humility but he caught my hand before I could "Gotta be faster than that em im"
before he could finish his sentence and before I could realize what I had done I slapped him in the face with such brute force that his face had already reddened far more than it should...
Averting my eyes and looking down I was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Get out now!"
he looked at me dumbfounded silently nodded whispere something that I assume was an apology and climes back out my window but I didn't make sure he got back safely as I collapsed on my bed soaking mg my pillow with fresh tears after the realization had set in. I mean I wasn't scared of heights its just that my mother and father died after they were thrown out of a window during an explosion whilst they where on holiday us three stayed with our nan who passed not long after so it was just us three. Tears began to spill from my eyes as childhood memories where they should have been there were replaced by Louise and mason.
After crying non-stop for what felt like a century I finally managed to slip into a restless and shallow slumber.
