Irresistable {Gerard Way fanfic}

Chapter 9

I had a headache the next morning but I already promised Lexi I would go to the mall with her today. I check my clock which read 1 p.m. Had I really slept in that late?! Although my head was pounding from going to sleep angry, I could still remember last night. Going out to dinner with Gerard and us kissing in traffic and when he dropped me off at home just to find Mom and Lewis kissing as well.

I rubbed my red, swollen eyes and head down stairs to see if they were home. There wasn't anyone in the kitchen or the living room or the dinner room or anywhere. On the refrigerator reads a note from Mom saying: Went out to breakfast with Lewis and then a movie and then to Katy's. Wish me luck x

Katy is this clingy, obnoxious housewife that goes to work with Mom. We call her crazy Katy because she doesn't even let her two sons ride a bike without all of their safety pads on and bubble wrap. They aren't even allowed off the driveway. She also harassed and black mailed one of her co-workers because she got employee of the month and not Katy.

Despite the whole situation last night, I manage to let myself laugh a little.

I check my phone and see that I got 4 new messages.

Lexi: When are we going to the mall?
Lexi: Is 3 alright?
Lexi: HELENA WAKE UP.

I reply to Lex with:

Me: sorry Lex, rough night, I have so much to tell you about it. I'll pick you up at around 3:45.

My last message is from Gerard who sent it early this morning:

Gerard: Sorry if last night wasn't how you wanted it to go. I know it must be confusing for you now but I thought it was going great. I really do hope to see you again other than school. You don't have to like me back but please don't shut me out. Have a good day (:

It's everything thing I wanted to happen. I can't imagine anything better. And he admitted that he likes me?? I blush and text him back.

Me: sorry, family drama last night and I went to sleep as soon as I got home. I'm not ignoring you, we'll meet up soon, thank you for last night (:

As soon as I send that text, I hop in the shower and take off all my makeup just to put it back on. It takes me an hour and a half to do my makeup and get dressed and the rest of the time I have is spent on watching America's Next Top Model. Along with the note was left two hundred dollars. Mom must really feel bad about last night. I take it and grab my keys to pick up Lex.

"Christian, Rosalie, and Jasper are going to meet us at Panera," Lexi says while applying a ton of lip gloss, "I mean I totally understand why we would eat before the mall, you can't shop on an empty stomach."

"Maybe that's why our secretary has such bad style," I joke and Lex joins in.

"Roasted," she laughs.

I turn down the radio which is blasting Kiss 107, and ask why Della couldn't come even though she made the plans.

"She got caught smoking weed with Ashley and these two other college guys by her mom so she's grounded for a long time," Lexi replies while mimicking a smoker.

"Doesn't surprise me,"

"Yeah I heard her mom is sending her to one of those alternative schools for the rest of Senior year. Good luck getting into college with that on her applicant."

"Speaking of getting caught," I sigh, "Guess who's the new adult couple in my household."

Hoping Lex would catch on to what I said, she shrugs and asks, "who?"

Blondes.

"My mom and Lewis!" I roll my eyes and tighten my grip on the wheel.

"Awe, so cute!" Lexi squeals and claps her hands together.

"No, not cute," I start to get annoyed because all of my friends think my mom and Lewis would look so cute together. I don't think so. They wouldn't understand how it feels to lose a parent and be forced to watch the other one fall in love with someone else who isn't your mom/dad.

I turn the radio station because there's been talking and ads for ten minutes straight. I end up flipping through many different stations like country, classical, rap, and rock but nothing captures my attention like the alternative station does by saying, "My Chemical Romance." I don't know why, but that band name sounds familiar. I don't get the chance to listen to the song about to play because Lex beats me to the radio and changes it back Kiss 107.

*****
At Panera, Lexi, Christian, Jasper, Rosalie and I sit in a booth together. Lexi, Christian, and I sit in one side and Rosalie and Jasper sit in the other.

I might've worn something too cute and put on more makeup than usual because the whole time we ordered our drinks, Jasper kept looking at me. Jasper looks like Adam. They both have pretty electric blue eyes and dark hair but Jasper is slightly taller and more built.

Jasper also has a thing for darker girls like Rosalie who is light mixed with brown hair and green eyes. Rosalie is also the most popular girl in school then Lexi , Della, Ashley, and me.

We always joke about how we're like the girls from Pretty Little Liars. Me, obviously being Aria because our affection for our English teachers but the others don't have to know about that. The girls think I'm Aria due to our similar looks. I'm always stopped in the streets, asked for my autograph because I look so much like Lucy Hale. It gets annoying at times.

About 10 minutes later, we are served our food and begin to talk and make jokes to kill the awkward silence. It wasn't the silence that was awkward, it was Jasper's foot rubbing on my leg and his seductive looks. I look at Rosalie who doesn't seem to notice any of it. I want to tell him to stop but then Rosalie would know and cause a scene in front of everyone. So I remain silent and hide my shame.

Things got worse from there. I offered to pay the tip and wait for the waitress to come back with my credit card and Jasper decided to stay with. I thought Lexi was the most clueless but Rosalie would not take the hint to get her boyfriend off of me. As soon as Rosalie and the others left to the car, Jasper waited ten seconds and sat next to me in the booth.

"You look different, Barbie," he eyes me while calling me by my nickname.

"Oh?" I raise my eyebrow.

"You look hot."

"Jasper," I let out a big sigh, "you're of my best friends who's dating another one of my best friends so you can't flirt with me."

Jasper gets close to me and grabs my thigh. "And best friends keep secrets, right?" He puckers his lips towards me and that's when I replace mine with a left over totellini Alfredo. Then after, I slap with my back hand and get up.

"I made myself clear when I said you can't flirt with me," I harshly grab my credit card out of the waitresses hand and head towards the door. "By the way," I say, looking back at Jasper who looks at me with shame and anger, "I'm telling Rosalie."
