I know we've only known each other for a month, but it seems like so much more than that. It feels like I've known her for years. I decide to ring Carter to see if he's talked to Molly.
"Hey Ayden." Carter says as he answers.
"Hey. I was wondering if you've talked to Molly lately?" I slur my words.
"Ayden, are you drunk?" he asks me.
"Please, just answer my question..." I beg.
"Uh, yeah I have. She told me about you and her." Carter tells me. I wonder if Molly told him everything. About this kiss? About Zach?
"Has she talked about me since?" I mindlessly ask.
"No." Carter simply answers me.
"Can I see her?" I ask, still slurring my words.
"She's not here." He tells me, emotionless.
"Where is she?" I start to panic a little.
"She went to Boston for spring break; she'll be back next Saturday." As soon as I hear Carter say that, I hang up the phone and pack a bag.
How could she not tell me that she's going to America? That's a crucial piece of information. I drive as fast as I can to the airport to get a plane ticket for the next flight to Boston.
-Molly's POV-
"Come on, Mol. Lighten up. You've been a downer ever since you got here. We haven't seen you in a damn month and the least you could do is pretend to be happy that you're here." Katie's voice breaks me out of my thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about Ayden all week; he's got me going crazy.
"I'm sorry." I simply say back to her. I turn to Nathan and he's typing away on his laptop.
"So please just tell me, Mol. Everyone else ships Mayden, why don't you? You two are so cute together, just look at you!" Katie squeals as she shows me the picture of Ayden and me kissing at the fair. The picture sickens me. I want to be with Ayden, but at the same time I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
"Mayden?" I ask, and Katie just nods her head. "I just don't, okay?" I say, pushing the computer screen away from me.
"Whatever you say." She pulls the laptop back to her.
"So, Molly, now that you're here, can we please film a video? People have been asking literally twenty-four seven where you are. Even though you told everyone you were going to England, they still ask." Nathan tells me. The thought that our viewers care so much about where I am just makes me happy.
"Yeah, yeah we can film one." I answer him. Before Nathan can get the camera, I hear a knock on the door. Hopefully it's my mum coming home from work. It's nearly seven and I'm so tired because of jet-lag.
"I'll get it." Katie says as she gets up to get the door. "Uhhh, Mol. You might want to come see this." I hear Katie shout to me from the front door. I sigh and get up from my spot on the couch and walk over to the front door to be surprised.
"Holy shit." I curse under my breath. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I practically yell at the sight of seeing Ayden on my door step.
"I couldn't stand being without you." Ayden slurs. I can practically smell the whiskey on his breath.
"Are you drunk?" I lower my voice.
"If it makes you feel any better, I feel worse than I look." His voice is sad, like a lost puppy. "But, Molly, please. The last week has been absolute hell. Nothing but constant drinking and regret from that day at the fair. I'm sorry I kissed you. I'm sorry I brought you there in the first place. I'm sorry I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. The only thing I know and won't apologise for is that I need you. I need you in my life, Molly." I can feel my eyes begin to tear up at his apology, but also anger forming inside of me. He needs me? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I thought he hated me for running out on him last week.
