The Truth Behind The Rumors

Chapter 3: Stood Up

Chapter 3: Stood Up

I looked at the text Niall had sent me. I was confused but I answered "uh...I'm just going as a friend not as his girlfriend." It didn't take him that long to answer. "Why would you go to the movies with him after you defended me?" I got frustrated why should I be explaining myself to him. "Uh why do you care? I don't need to explain myself to you." And after I sent that he didn't answer. I put my phone down and walked over to my closet to pick what to wear for my 'date' tomorrow with Brandon. I picked out a cozy white cardigan with a grey tank some denim washed out skinny jeans and black and white vans. I left them on my bean bag chair and went downstairs to order myself some dinner. I picked up the house phone and dialed the number to the Chinese place. "And your total will be £12.15" "okay, and how long will that take?" "10mins" I sighed "alright, thank you." I hung up the phone and walked upstairs to get my bag so I can take out the money from my wallet for the food. I heard my phone go off, who could it be now? It was a text from Niall "I'm just saying, no need to be feisty now do we ;)" "what's with everyone and calling me feisty?" I said to myself. "Yeah well I'm just saying to." I didn't know what to text him, so I just texted him that. I heard a knock on the door so I dropped my phone on my bed and headed downstairs. After I got my food I went into the kitchen and started eating, when my mom called me. "Hi mom." "Hey sweetie! Did you get dinner?" "Yeah mom I saved you some don't worry." "Alright hun I will be home soon, so just leave it in the fridge okay?" "Alright mom bye love you." "Bye sweetie love you too." After I finished eating I put my plate In the sink and left the rest of the food for when my mom comes home. I walked upstairs and headed straight for bed.

****Next day

I didn't hear my mom come home last night but I do know she's home mainly because I hear her making breakfast downstairs. I sat up from my bed and rubbed my eyes. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I got out of the bathroom I put my hair in a messy bun I grabbed my phone and headed downstairs. "Something smells good." I said as I walked into the kitchen. "I'm making French toast, maybe that's why." My mom smirked at me. "There ready, go get a plate for us." I just nodded my head and went into the cabinet to grab the plates. I put the plates on the table and grabbed 2 forks and placed them on the plates. My mom put the French toast on another plate an put it in the middle of the table so we can get our French toast. "So what's your plan for today sweetie?" "I was asked to go to the movies today, actually." My moms eyes widened "that's great sweetie! Who asked you?" I felt weird if I said it was a boy cos then my mom would go all crazy on me, but I don't want to lie either. "My friend Brandon asked me." We'll he's not really my friend, just an acquaintance I guess. My moms eyes widened bigger then before and she gave me a smirk. "So....this Brandon kid...?" I cut my mom off before she can even continue. "Ma it's nothing like that!" "My mom just rolled her eyes and gave me a smirk. "Yeah sure it is....so do you li-" I couldn't let her finish "alright mom were done with this conversation." "Oh come on honey! I'm only kidding, it's just it's a boy you know?" I just rolled my eyes and got up from my seat to put my plate in the sink. "It's nothing like that, it will never be like that, and I don't want it to be like that okay?" My mom just rolled her eyes, "whatever you say babe." I walked upstairs and checked the time, 1:47pm I have a couple of hours, I guess I can just spend time in the pool. I changed into my bikini and walked downstairs to go to the backyard. I jumped into the pool and felt the cold water on my skin. After spending a couple hours in the pool I got out and grabbed my towel and dried myself off, then walked inside the house. I saw my mom sitting on the couch watching tv. "Mom what time is it?" 6:42pm why?" Oh shit. "Oh thanks mom." I just ran upstairs and started getting ready. I grabbed my towel and a new pair of underwear and headed for the shower first. After my 15mim shower I got out and dried myself off. I grabbed a bra from my drawer and put it on followed by my grey tank top. Then I put my denim washed out skinny jeans, then my cozy white cardigan. I walked over to my drawer and grabbed some socks and then put my black and white vans on. I went to the bathroom to straighten my hair, after I straightened my hair I put a little bit of makeup on then I put my cream color beanie on. I checked the time again, 7:21pm. I sat on my bed when my phone started ringing. It was Brandon. "Hello?" "Hey y/n, can I meet you at the theater?" Oh so he's not picking me up? Eh whatever. "Uh okay." "Alright see you then y/n." "Alright, bye Brandon." I hung up the phone and went downstairs to go on the computer. I went to google maps to look for the movie theater. I heard my mom walking towards me. 'Whatcha doing there hun?" "I'm looking for the movie theater I'm going to with my friend cos he said he can't pick me up." "Oh okay then, I'm going to make dinner I guess for myself tonight." I just nodded my head "okay mom." I finally found the theater and wrote it down on a piece of paper. I looked over at the time 7:45pm. Okay I should start going it might take me a while to get there. "Alright mom I'm leaving." "Okay sweetie have a good time, love you." I grabbed my purse. "Okay bye mom love you too." I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. I locked the door behind me and walked over to my black range rover. I unlocked the door and hopped inside. I put the keys in the engine and started the car. I pulled out if the drive way and out on the road and started driving to the movie theater.

***at the theater

I finally found the movie theater after like 20mins and parked my car in the Parking lot. I took my keys out if the engine and my got out of my car. I walked into the theater and took out my phone to check the time. 8:01pm. "Huh I'm not that late." I said to myself. I took a seat in one of the chairs and waited for Brandon. A couple of hours have passed by and he still hasn't showed up. I took my phone out and looked at the time, 10:46pm. 'What the hell?' I thought to myself. I got frustrated and his grabbed my purse and headed it out of the theater. It started raining hard and I just ran to my car I unlocked it and put my keys in the engine and started the car but it wouldn't start. I kept on trying to turn it on but it wouldn't start it but it wouldn't go. I got out of my car and went to the hood of the car to see what the problem was. The engine was out. "Fuck" I said under my breathe. I ran to go back into the theater the doors were locked. I looked at phone to check the time again 12:13am. I felt tears rushing down my face, but it wasn't tears that I was sad he didn't show, it was tears of frustration. I kept pacing back and forth I ran back to my car and my door was locked, "no no this can't be happening." I said to myself I walked back to the front of the theater to sit on one of the benches. While I was walking I tripped and fell on my face. I got right back up. I limped over to the bench and took a seat down and I felt something dripping from my forehead. I touched my forehead and felt blood on it. "Fuck." I felt more tears rushing down my face. My gaze went blurry. But the only thing I remember before fainting, was two strong arms pick me up.
