She's little

Chapter 19

"I'm going to kill myself." I groaned at David as we sat in home room.
"It's not that bad, I got bent over teds knee." James said scrolling on his phone.

"Your into that it Doesn't count." I tell him rolling my eyes.

"Oh really? Your not into being cuddled, and colouring, and being given a bottle-"
"No way I'm I drinking from a bottle." I interrupt.

"Not yet." Derik says from behind me. "Where's your daddy?"
"James isn't here this morning, he had to go to some court case thing to get legal rights to something idk." I say rolling my eyes and giving him a nasty look.
I do not like Derik. He's rude and keeps referring to James and my daddy.

Both Derik and David gave me a weird look, like I had said something really weird.
"What?"

"He didn't tell you what he was getting legal right to?" David asked raising an eyebrow.
"He didn't tell me anything, I heard him on the phone arguing with someone about it." I say biting my thumb nail.

I heard Derik laugh a-bit before pulling out his phone "I'm telling him you said that."
"Also have you ever noticed you only ever bit your thumb nail? Almost always putting it in your mouth?" Derik asked, and I felt like he was suggesting something.

"I bite other nails.." I say pulling my hand from my face.
"I don't in how we didn't all see that you were a little, like I swear you never did all these tiny things, like we would have noticed." David told me leaning back in his seat.

"I think that says more about you guys than me." I say as the bell rings for next period.

"I need new shoes." I tell Lizzie
We were sat in the back of 4th period waiting for the bell to go.
"We should go shopping.." she suggests.
"We should! We can go today after school? Ditch the boys get the bus into the town and go to the mall and high street?" I tell her plotting our escape.

"Yes that is a grate idea. Hay Isn't James supposed to be back by now?" She asks me, looking round the room seeing that jack wasn't in his spot.

"Uh yeah he's back he's in the office talking about something." I say resting my head on the desk.

"Come on quick I say pulling Lizzie out the door and down the hall as the last bell rang, before the boys got here to pick us up, deliberately going the opposite way they would be coming from there class.

We shuffled out the school in the slurry of students, blending with the crowds.
I could feel my phone ringing In my hand but I just turned it off and bulled Lizzie along to the outside bus stop at the bottom of the parking lot which conveniently couldn't be seen from the school.

We were out of breath and heaving from running but it was some of the most fun I'd had in a while.

"Derik is calling me." Lizzie said looking at her phone.
"message him when we're on the bus telling him your with me getting.. uh-uhm..girls stuff!"

We didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for the bus, hopping on and sitting in the back.
"Uh oh.." I half laugh looking out the window as the bus pulled away seeing Derik and James stood looking at the bus from the end of the school parking lot.

"It's fineee." Me and Lizzie say looking at each other and giggling.

We scurry around the mall and high street, being careful just in case James and Derik show up, poking are heads round every corner in case they were looking for us.

We where wondering the mall for a bit letting are guard down, carrying out bags and giggling like we were in some movie.
Hot chocolates in one hand, bags in the other I was having a really good time till I heard my name called from behind me.

But not by Derik and James.
It was Bella and her caregiver?
I actually didn't ever learning his name, and never got a chance to find out because he wasn't friends with my friends and Bella only called him daddy.

"James and his friend are worried about you two? What are you guys doing?" Bella asked me as she caught up her caregiver following suit.

"Shoe shopping?" I say with a cheesy grin.
Her caregiver rolled his eyes then pulled out his phone dialling a phone number.

"Yea we found them... upper left hallway, by Hollister." He says telling I'm guessing James or David where we were.

"Awh come on don't rat us out." Lizzie says loudly.
The guy looks at her pissed.
Why's he so mad? He barely knows us.

I lean against the wall knowing are rebelling was over and I'd more than likely be in time out for this.

I was finishing of my hot chocolate as James and Derik slid around the corner p, like they were running on a slip&slide.
I giggled as I threw my cup away watching James jog over.

I was preparing for a scolding but I was immediately embraced in James arms, dropping my bags on the floor as he picked me up.
"Please, I'll literally take you anywhere, to do anything at any time, but please don't run off like that ever again." He told me holding me super tight, one hand on the back of my head stroking my hair.

I could see over my shoulder that Derik had sat Lizzie on a bench and was kneeling in-front of her.

"I'm sorry." I say hugging him back feeling really bad, seeing how worried he was.

James literally didn't put me down the hole way back to his car, but on the bright side he carried the heavy bags.
"So how long am I in time out for?" I ask, bringing my knees up to my chest.
"An hour." James said sounding slightly less concerned now and more angry.
