Everybody Needs A Cupid

Chapter 5

After an hour of begging Taylor to leave my house, he finally did so. That is when my mother got home.

"Oh, I was just asking Autumn about our Math homework" he smiled at her.

I glared at him from behind her as she was believing every word he said. "Bye Autumn, Ma'am" he said as he left the house a bright smile on his face.

"What a delightful young man" she told me.
"Yea, yea, just delightful". I said going up to my room.

It was now morning and Sundays were my resting day so I stayed in bed until like one in the afternoon.
I took a quick shower and got dressed quickly before heading downstairs.
My mother had already made lunch, and I enjoyed my shrimp pasta, with garlic bread. While I was eating, I heard a knock on the door.
My mom must have a guest, which was strange as it was Sunday. I thought as I got up to answer. I opened the door and immediately shut it. Well, attempted to shut it. Taylor already had his foot lodged between the door.

"Leave now!" I said to him.
"Why so mean babe?" He asked as I glared at him. It's Sunday for pete's sake give me a break, and what's with the sudden interest in harassing my life.
"Fine, what do you want?" I said opening the door wider to stand in the doorway.
"Isn't it quite obvious? To spend the day with my lovely neighbor" he said smiling at me.
"Well it's Sunday and I'm not in the mood" I said slamming the door in his face.
I finished my lunch in peace, and headed up to my room to watch a movie.I put in "The Bling Ring" into the DVD player and got comfortable on my bed. Suddenly music started blasting from Taylor's room. Really? Like really?
I shut my bedroom window and hooked up my flatscreen to the speaker. Much better, I smiled he is so not going to spoil my afternoon. An hour through the movie, the music shut off and all that could be heard was my blasting speakers. Finally, I said to myself as I turned it down.
I kept hearing this knocking sound and finally left to go to the door, but no one was there. "Bruhh" I trudged back up the stairs to my room still hearing the irritating sound. I paused my movie and realized the sound was closer than I thought. I looked over to my window and saw small pebbles bouncing of them.
"Very mature Taylor" I said to myself. I headed downstairs and out the door. I stood watching him throw the pebbles at my window until I saw him pick up a rather large rock.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing!" I shouted at him. He looked at me and grinned, "You finally made it".
"Yeah so can you stop now" I demanded rather than asked. "Yeah sure whatever, but you can stop acting like you don't like me".
I rolled my eyes and went back up to my room.

It was lunch time and for the whole morning Taylor and I exchanged glares. He started it though, I saw him this morning and I guess his bad mood came back full swing because trust me if looks could kill I honestly wouldn't be speaking to you at the moment.
I flipped him off though and carried on, got into my car and left.
Ping!
I got a text from my phone, the week had started and I guess someone needed help. I made it strictly known that if you message me asking for advice on the weekend you would be ignored. Plain and simple. Hence why I didn't get any, if you hadn't noticed.
I heard multiple sighs throughout the cafeteria, I think we both can guess why. I turned around, and our gazes locked instantly, we shared our death glares and I flipped my hair turning to Ashley.

"Why so quiet?" I asked her.
"Just thinking" she answered dryly.
"On" I pressed on, she simply shrugged her shoulders and I left her alone. Just incase you're thinking I'm a bad friend, well I'm not, we just like to give each other space if the one of us is upset until the other is ready to talk.
"Whatever it is though, you know you can talk to me" I told her giving her a hug before getting up and heading to the library.
While walking I remembered that I received a text earlier and opened it.

Hey Cupid, I really don't feel like texting my problem...soo can you meet me by the bleachers after school, thanks.
Kayla :)

I texted her back saying I'd be there and to make sure she would be on time. I really hated to stay after school, only for drama club on Tuesdays or if I'm staying to watch Ashley practice.
I sat in the library and picked up a random book which I read until lunch was over.
School was now over and I sat on the bleachers waiting on Kayla. "Could she take any longer" I grumbled.
Just then I heard footsteps rushing up the steps. I looked up and saw a beautiful girl with the prettiest eyes, gold with specs of green in them. Her honey blonde hair held in a messy bun, and she looked so flustered coming up the stairs. "I am so so sorry for being late, my teacher held me back" even though I was slightly upset I smiled and told her it was fine. I think she was in the year below me, but didn't bother asking her.
"So what's the problem?" She looked at me and began. After about fifteen minutes of giving her advice she gave me a hug and left. I made my way down the bleachers, and headed back in the school. As I exited, and was walking to my car I had this strange feeling as though someone was watching me. I glanced to my left and saw Mr. bad boy glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and pretended not to see him, getting into my vehicle and speeding away.

"Autumn, is that you?" I heard my mom call from the kitchen. Who else would it be mother? I thought "yea it's me" I replied. My mother was a doctor but she has three weeks off at the moment. My dad, well he lives with us but doesn't really be at home because his job has him travel a lot. He owns some stores in different countries so he travels for business meetings. He should be coming back home for this weekend though.
"How was school? Anyone want advice?" She inquired.
"It was fine, but you know someone needed advice" I said to her, she smiled at me and I headed upstairs. "I'm gonna go start my homework" I called while walking. I began my English essay that was due for tomorrow then my phone rang.

"Hey Ash"

"Sup"

"I'm good, but I'm the one who should be asking.. how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine now, just that my parents have been arguing a lot lately, and I think they might get a...divorce" I heard a soft sob escape her throat. I felt so sorry for her but there was nothing I could do.

"Do you wanna come over to talk? We could have a girls night!" I said trying to put as much enthusiasm into my voice to cheer her up.

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit" she replied and hung up.
