Chapter 30 - Home Day

Alana's P.O.V

Today Jasmine and Dan are going out, they haven't been the same since Christmas and it isn't a good thing, they need some time to fix the relationship or things are going to end badly. Me and Phil didn't really want to go anywhere today so it's going to be one of them days where we order pizza, do couple things and watch films.

"Alana?" Phil asked.

"Yes?" I said back, I find it better to answer a question by making what you say sound like a question but it isn't a question. Understand? Doesn't matter.

"You know yesterday when you went to the shop with Dan" he said.

"Yeah" I said, wondering why he was asking me.

"Did you two actually kiss" he mumbled looking at the floor.

"No Phil, Jasmine was joking, I wouldn't do that to you, I love you" I said and he didn't say anything he just kissed me. After we pulled away he asked

"Why did you take so long then?"

"We told you yesterday" I said whispering "we saw Jasmine's parents moving in across the road because her mum and dad are back together"

"Oh right, are we going to tell her?" He whispered.

"It was Dan's idea but none of us want to tell her because of how she'll react but if we don't tell her, when she finds out that we knew all along she'll be furious" I said biting my bottom lip.

"What's the best to do then?" He asked taking hold of my hands.

"Tell her, but that isn't an option" I said  with a slight smile, the whole world would know it was fake if they saw it.

   None of us were happy about telling Jasmine, we weren't happy about keeping it from her either. There's no way out really, they'll be visiting us soon and her parents will tell her that they saw us and Jasmine will be angry at us all but if we tell her she'll end up getting the police on herself, okay maybe she won't go that far, will she?

1 hour later

I couldn't think straight, I didn't need to think because I was cuddled up on the couch with Phil watching Joe and Caspar's film and eating pizza, but still. I couldn't stop thinking about the Jasmine situation and there was nothing I could do to make anything better, I knew things were going to end badly either way and we couldn't stop it, nobody could, unless their parents move out.... I bolted up and Phil paused the tv.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I have a plan" I said smirking.

"Tell me" he said sitting up.

"We take Stitch on a walk past their house but we wait until they're outside, then we can say stuff to put them off from living in the house" I said raising my eyebrows.

"It might not work" Phil started "but it's worth a try" he said grinning and putting his shoes on and grabbing Stitch's lead. I put my Disney vans on and called Stitch so Phil could clip his lead on. I ran to the window and peered across the road, I could see people walking down the stairs about to leave the house.

"Phil they're coming out lets go now!" I started "just go along with what I say" I finished grabbing Stitch's lead and walking outside with Phil closely following. I thought for a few moments about what I could say and as they made eye contact I said to Phil

"Phil, did you ever hear about that woman who got murdered in that house by her husband?" I asked loud enough so they could hear.

"Do you mean the couple with the surname Deknarp?" He asked raising his eyebrows and trying not to laugh, luckily it wasn't obvious so we carried on.

"Yeah, he has left him then they got back together and moved into this house then he murdered her a few weeks later, apparently the house is haunted now" I said turning to Phil and winking.

"No lies you tell will fool us" Jasmine's mum said.

"What do you mean lies? That's the truth, the man was called Damon and the woman was called Claire" I started "if you think it's a lie then how do I know so much about them?" I asked, by now we had already stopped walking and Stitch peed in the bush on their front garden but I didn't stop him. Jasmine's parents didn't say anything they just stood there.

"Pick your chin off the floor or you'll get gravel rash and I'd look for a new house if I was you" I said turning away as they hurried inside.

Later that night (9 pm)

Jasmine and Dan had just got back and they said hi and went straight upstairs to Dan's room, let me point out they were holding hands and didn't take their time going upstairs so it's best to leave them. Me and Phil had returned to watching films and drinking hot chocolate, we decided to watch Dirty Dancing and after it had finished we just went upstairs to sleep, we slept in Phil's room because it was next door to Dan's and we didn't want to miss out on any banter did we?
