Is It Meant To Be (Under major editing again)

Chapter 38

I hugged Amanda tightly, as we both were watching a horror film, both of us scared out of our minds. Although, I should probably speak for myself because Amanda was laughing at all the scary parts. "How is that funny!? He ripped his head off!" I yelled at Amanda, frowning upon her. "Because (laughs) it's obviously fake! That's totally ketchup! Blood is usually oozy and running...that was just oozy and !" Amanda taught me while laughing loudly. 

I heard a knock on my door making me instantly alarmed. "It's probably--" But before I could finish, the door opened to my mom. "I heard the sweet melodies of a child's laugher, so I thought that I could probably drop by." My mom said with a smile, holding a tray of goodies. "Oooh, for me?!" Amanda yelled, her eyes glowing up and her mouth wide with a grin. "No." My mom said with a bit of annoyance. Amanda pouted and my mom continued, "Sorry, but these are for Simon and his girlfriend. They're having their own moment of a movie. Don't be surprised, I did say that I thought that I would drop by, not drop something off." I frowned upon my mom and walked up to her. 

"Mom can I talk to you in the hall?" I said through clenched teeth.

"What do you mean that you found out!? There was nothing to hide!" I yelled at my mom, frustration flooding my body with more and more anger. "So then why did I find a folded up paper with Amanda Gray's information on it!?" My mom asked, while tapping her foot. That's right, my mom found out. It turns out that Amanda kept one of the papers in her pocket to help her fall asleep and my mom found out and is now punishing us both for lying. I still don't think that it's a good idea to let Amanda go through that, knowing that she still feels abandoned by her mother.

"Uh...I can explain!" I quickly added, but my mom walked into Simon's room, which is right near my room. When she came out, she closed his door and said, "Explain."

I woke up, feeling the stress of yesterday night kick in. Ugh, I feel like shit. Probably look like it too. Well, what happened yesterday is that I had to explain to my mom the whole situation and she completely understood, but being the responsible parent she is, she had to call William's mom, but luckily she didn't answer. So basically she said that she'll call her another time, but I have to make sure that William and Christopher know before their mom does to avoid her mother locking her up in her room again, hiding her from the world.

I heard crying, causing me to jolt off of my bed. I ran downstairs to where the noise came from and saw Amanda crying loudly. I ran to her and hugged her tight, whispering nice things in her ear to calm her down. "What happened?" I asked when she finally calmed down. "I'm not wanted!" She yelled while burying her head into my shirt and sobbing louder.

"Who told you that you weren't!? You are most definitely wanted!" I yelled over her tears, but she yelled, "No!" Aw crap! There was suddenly a knock on the door making me instantly remember that I told Christopher to pick me up today. Aw double crap!

"Shhh, please. That's probably Christopher. He can't know that you're here." I whispered making her instantly push me away and yell, "I'm not wanted!" Then run upstairs. Wait-ta go Chelsey The Idiot!

I opened the door to Christopher looking impatient. My cheeks flared with embarrassment, but I pushed it aside and welcomed him in. "It's about time! What were you doing, kissing my brother some more?" He asked in a rude tone. "Christopher I can explai--" 

"There's really nothing to explain." He said, but with a sigh he continued, "You're so lucky that I'm dating Jasmine, so I don't care as much, but if you wanted to be with William so bad, then you could've just told me. No need to keep it secret." Christopher said, looking hurt. What?!?!?!?!?! "No, no no! I do not want to--"
