The Unfathomable Girl // A Sidemen Fanfiction

Chapter 6

After several hours of sitting and scrolling through Tumblr and the guys watching soccer games, I get a text from Simon who is sitting almost directly across from me.

mr minter~Liv, go to the kitchen, I'll meet you in there

I watch as he gets up and goes to the kitchen. I'm surprised at his texting since he's been drinking all day and should probably have made a few spelling mistakes. I start to get up but Cal stops me.
"Where are you going Livy?" Cal nicknames me.
"Just to, uh, call my sister. She needs to talk to me." I lie, but that reminds me, I haven't texted any of my family since I got here. Cal nods and turns back to the TV, by me sitting by him and Ethan they seem to have gotten very attached to me but I know its just because they've been drinking.

When I get into the kitchen I see Simon on his phone. Probably on Twitter.
"Hi Simon." I say. He looks up and smiles, exposing his dimples.
"Did everything go alright this morning? I know we just kinda left you with Jide" He asks.
"Yeah everything was fine. JJ is easy to get along with." I tell him, walking a bit closer.
"I'm glad. Did you get enough sleep? I know you have school tomorrow and if you feel tired tell me and I'll take you home. I'm pretty sure the guys plan on staying here pretty late." Simon tells me.
"I don't feel tired or anything yet, and I'm sure Josh will make sure I get lots of sleep before tomorrow." I laugh. Simon nods.
"So yesterday I was getting a lot of tweets with gifs of us from Tumblr, so I made an account to see them, and I think they think we're a couple." Simon laughs. I quickly go onto tumblr and look up 'miniminter', I scroll through hundreds of gifs, most of them are me staring at him smiling like an idiot or him smiling as I pour the ingredients into the bowl. To be honest, they were pretty cute.
"Weird." I say, my eyes never leaving the gifs playing over and over on my phone. I like it and then turn off my phone.
"Can I drive you to school tomorrow? Or at least go with you? I know Josh has to go and fill out a ton of forms since he's your new legal guardian." Simon asks.
"Of course," I smile, "But you'll need to get up early because school is 8:30 am to 2:30"
"Okay. Is Josh driving you to school everyday?" He asks.
"Well its only a few blocks away so I'll usually walk but Josh doesn't want to walk." I explain to him.
"So you should be home by 3 ish?" He asks.
"Well I'm going to try to go to the school library tomorrow after school since I left all my books at home. And then I'll have a lot of work to catch up on so I'm going to the little coffee shop a block or two away, anyways, I know you guys will probably be recording or editing so you won't notice I'm not there." I tell him. His smile fades into an emotionless stare.
"Alone? In London? Are you crazy? What if you get lost? Or killed? Or kidnapped!" Simon whisper-shouts, pacing around the kitchen.
"I won't get lost! And I'll have my phone on me." I assure him.
"Okay, just text me where you're going and stuff. Now lets go back out there before they notice we're gone." Simon says, walking towards the doorway.

When we get back out there I sit by Simon and JJ on the couch. It seems that the games are over for today and everyone is just hanging around now. Ethan and Cal are planning a night out soon, JJ is on his phone, Tobi and a few of the other guys are discussing video ideas, Callum, Harry, and Joe just took a shot.
"We should get Nandos." JJ suggests loudly so everyone can hear.
"Uh, whats Nandos?" I ask, causing the whole room to go silent. Everyone stares at me in disbelief.
"We need to get this girl some Nandos!" Joe yells, "Get on!" He says, bending down in front of me for me to get on his back, "Theres no time to waste!"
"I can walk." I laugh, and move around him towards the doorway.

We get the biggest table in the restaurant and sit down. I sit between Josh and Vik. I feel extremely safe between these two, I understand why I would feel safe around Josh, I've been here for 2 days and he's already more protective than my father, but Vik? I don't know why I feel safe around him. Maybe because he's calm and collected as they say, or maybe because he treats me like I've lived here all my life, I don't know.
"Hey, Liv" Vik whispers to me.
"What?" I whisper back.
"I think Simon's got a thing for you. He's been staring at you for 10 minutes and he was talking about you all morning." Vik tells me. My head snaps around to see Simon quietly staring at me. I shouldn't have looked. Now what do I do? I'll smile! Yeah thats good. I smile back at Simon and he blushes, knowing I caught him.
"We're just good friends." I tell Vik, a big plate of food getting served in front of both of us.
"Maybe you think that but I'm not sure he does. I'll ask him about it later." Vik decides.
"Okay, but I'm sure he's going to tell you the same thing I did" I respond.

We get home around 10. The guys were going to stay later but Josh quickly convinced Simon I needed sleep and then they told JJ and Vik if they didn't come home now that they were locked out for the night, so after that we all came home. I walk to the kitchen and get a glass of water then take it upstairs with me to my room. I do my whole nightly routine and then get into my warm bed.

I hear knocking on my door, so I get up and open it, Simon is standing there.
"Hello" I say.
"Sit down Olivia we need to talk." He commands. I furrow my eyebrows but do what he says. I back up on to my bed and sit cross-legged. "Vik asks me if I liked you tonight."
"Oh." I comment.
"And just so you know, in case there was any miscommunications, I don't like you. At all. You're like a baby! You can't have an adult for a boyfriend! You're immature anyways, no wonder why you're parents shipped you off to us. I wouldn't hesitate to ship you right back." Simon tells me.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.
"Do you think by saying I'm sorry you're making my life any better? Well you're not. I want you gone, but Josh won't let you leave. So I'm going to need to deal with you myself."Simon tells me, and pulls a gun out of his pocket.
"Simon. I'll leave. Give me a second to grab my most important things and I'll be gone." I try to reason with him.
"Too late." Simon says and pulls the trigger.

I sit up in my bed sweating, tears streaming down my face. It must've been a nightmare. All of the sudden my light is on and Josh, JJ, Vik and Simon are all in my room, staring at me.
"I'm sorry. I had a nightmare. I didn't mean to alarm any of you." I apologize.
"It's okay, it happens. You don't have to be afraid here, we wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt you." Vik tells me sympathetically. I nod and relax a little bit more.
"Text any of us if you need anything. We're all just a few seconds away from you. Now get some sleep." JJ says. They all walk out of my room except for Simon.
"I have nightmares all the time." He tells me, "Once I had to push all of the Sidemen off a building in New York or else the shooter was going to kill all of our subscribers."
"That must've been horrible." I comment.
"It was. Do you want to talk about yours? Or if not I could just stay in here until you fell asleep again, or I could just leave." Simon tells me.
"No! Stay, please. That would be great." I say. He turns off my light and crawls into my bed beside me. He stays sitting up, leaning against my headboard while i rest my head on my pillow.
"In the dream you were going to kill me." I blurt out. We stay quiet for a moment.
"Olivia. I would never, ever hurt you. No matter what happens, I wouldn't intentionally hurt you." He tells me.

This puts my mind at ease, well sorta. The part that makes me scared is when he says 'intentionally'.
