Bad boy

chapter 17

"Helen?"

Oh God, what's Bradley doing here?, I'm so busted. I keep my back towards him and not turn around when he calls my 'name'. I can already feel sweat moving down my back, my fingers shaking. The silence in the room only made it worse.

"Shut up, brad it's just a couple of friends, Nicole this is my idiot brother Bradley. Brad this is my......girlfriend Nicole "
Chad snakes his hand arounds my waist and turns me around to face Brad. So many emotions running throughout my mind, annoyed at Chad, I wanted to push him off me and kick him in the nuts but I couldn't I was really nervous, even though I didn't want to be.

"Nicole?" Bradley's face scrunched up in confustion, staring at me right in the eye to my soul.

"Yes, are you deaf or something?" Chad replied. I was actually glad that Chad was replying for me, i was not in the mood to talk, now was the perfect time to go home.

"You don't happen to have a twin sister, do you Nicole?"

Before I could even reply Chad answers.
"No she doesnt, wants with all the questions?"

Bradley then pulls a frown and walks pass me and back into the hallway.

"Do you guys know each other?"

"Of course not " my voice comes shaky. Brother?!, Bradley is Chads brother, well there goes a new friend I just made. Guilt washes through me, I didn't actually think that he would find out, and its awakward because he asked me out. What am I going to do, should I follow him and apologize.

"Nicole!" Marrisa screams into my ears "you have been standing there for the last 5 mintues, come on the next movie is starting "

I sat back on the couch joined by Chad once again, and started dosing off, thinking about Bradley. Just before I completely fall asleep I receive a text.

From Bradley-
Please tell me you are not at my house tonight and you are not dating my brother.

Should I lie to him, I can pretend that coincidentally I'm a girl who just looks exactly like me, named Helen, or is that completely crazy. The Guilt builds up more and more giving me a hadache.

I end up just falling asleep without replying to the text.

*****

"Morning dear, wake up I made breakfast" I hear a sweet voice followed by a slight shaking my arm.

"Mom?"

"Wake up"

"Mom I had the weirdest dream" I reply still closing my eyes and snuggling closer to the arm that was shaking me. Thank goodness it was all a dream, Sophie was alright my mom wasn't depressed and I wasn't dating some random jerk.

"Honey, open your eyes"

"Sophie was in hospital and-"

"No, Nicole I'm not-"

"And you were so depressed" I hug her tighter

"Honey, I'm Chads mother"

What! My eyes shot open, and I quickly let go of the woman I was hugging. She was a beautiful woman, blonde hair that made a mane around her face, light blue eyes almost grey, slender nose and pink lips with the most amazing teeth. She was smiling down at me. " I made breakfast" she said her smile growing wider.

"Chads mother ?"

"Yes dear, but please call me Bella, come on stand up"

I Stood up realizing that I am still in the cinema room, alone. They left me here? No one even woke me up at all?
