Untrustworthy

six ; i see you but i always hesitate

Molly's POV

After the kiss, Calum went home and I was alone again. It's time to make up with Grace. I call her phone. No answer. I try a couple more times but it goes to the automated message. I hear something come through the door and I run downstairs to see what it is. It's a white envelope with 'Molly' written on the front. I open it to find a fifty pound note and a small letter.

'Dear Molly
I just wanted to say thanks again for being Calum's friend. I know he is enjoying having someone to talk to about things and I'm glad he's happy. Once again, thank you.
Joy'

Now I feel bad. I've kissed her son and she's paying me. I can't believe I'm doing this it's not right.

Grace's POV

As I'm walking up to Molly's house, I notice someone walking out. They are wearing a black hoodie and ripped skinny jeans. I try to figure out who the face is but I can't. When I get to her front door, hoodie dude has disappeared. I knock on the door and what to see if she will actually answer.
She does.

'Hey Grace, I've tried to call you?'
'My phones dead.' I reply.

She welcomes me in and we go sit in her living room. We sit down on her leather, 6 seater sofa before she asks me what drink I want.

'Just water.'
'Oh so do I actually put water in your glass or vodka?' We both look at each other and laugh. But then the laughter leaves.

Molly returns with drinks and she sits back down.

'So, I just wanna say I'm sorry for being a bitch. Your my best friend and I should always believe you' I say.

She sat in silence for a minute until she spoke. 'Its fine, I forgive you boo.' We hug for about 5 minutes when there's a knock on the door. Molly stands up and goes to answer it. I try to peak at who it is and I recognise the black hoodie from before. I squint my eyes to figure out who the mysterious man is. She runs into the kitchen and grabs a pair of keys and then runs back to the door. As she runs past me, a get a look at the pair of keys to see the name tag reading 'Calpal.' What the hell is that? She comes and sits back down. I need to find out who that person is.

'My mum has just text me telling me I have to be home. Like now.' I give her a quick hug and run out of the door.

I try to follow 'black hoodie dude' out of the road when he turns round to look. I hide behind the nearest thing possible. A bin. Luckily he doesn't see me and I carry on following him. I follow him to a road named 'cameron close.' He walks up to the second house on the right and walks in. I decide that it's Molly's privacy and I shouldn't be doing this. As I'm walking home I discover a familiar face.

'Grace..is it?' He speaks.
'Hey Ashton.' Luke is trailing behind him arguing with his girlfriend. His girlfriend Amba walks off and Luke comes and joins us.
'Hey Grace.' Luke speaks.
'Hey, I have one question. What where you doing down Caloner's road? Is he your new boyfriend.' Ashton says.
Calum. Calum can't be the one that Molly is seeing. He can't be.
'Actually my Nan lives down here' I lie.
'Everyone knows that half the houses down here are abandoned so your nan can't live down here. Your just a ginger freak.' I'm fed up of the bulling. I may have a massive crush on him but he's going over the line. One more word and I might have to scream at him.
'By the way, your friend Molly tasted good the other night.' That was it.

'YOU LISTEN HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN BULLYING ME FOR YEARS NOW AND IM FED UP! YOU CANT GO ROUND KISSING PEOPLE! YOU ARE A BASTARD AND I HATE YOU.' Before I have time to walk off, Ashton grabs my wrist and says 'lets just talk Grace.' I shake his giant hand off my wrist and walk off saying 'goodbye Ashton.' As I walk off I hear Luke say to Ashton 'so you thought the whole thing off you bullying her and making her jealous so she will go out with you didn't work. Good job bro.'

Did I just hear that? Ashton has a crush on me?! And when he kissed Molly he was trying to make me jealous! I might of said I hated him but I still like him, and I have never stop. He's is the most beautiful creature God has ever created and I love him. Wait, did I just say that I love him.

I check my phone while it's vibrating. I stop in the middle of the road. I check the message which is from Ashton. It reads 'I'm guessing you just heard Luke.' I turn around to see him at the bottom road, starring at me.

I message back saying 'yeah, so you like me?' He replies almost instantly saying 'no, I love you.' My heart is beating out of my chest. I look straight ahead. He's smiling at me. I start walking towards him. He starts walking towards me until we meet in the middle. He puts his hands on my head and pushes his lips into mine.
