Perri and Me- A romantic fan fic about Perri Kiely

Chapter 5 Part 10

I stand there for a second. Did I just see what I think I just saw?

When they break apart, Mitch turns around and sees me. He looks shocked.

Mitch walks up to me.

"Amber...I'm sorry..." He says. "I don't know what came over me."

Part of me wants to forgive him but then I remember the reason why Perri and I broke up once.

"Just...leave me alone..." I say quietly.

"Please Amber. Don't tell Perri about this" he says. "He'll never forgive me."

I slap him across the face.

"Both of you...you let yourselves down..." I say.

I walk up to Veronica.

"Want my Mum to know about this?" I say to her.

"No..." She says.

"I thought so..." I say, grabbing her hand. I take her inside. By this time, she's sobbing.

"Quit crying!" I shout. "People will ask why!"

"Please don't tell anyone..." She sobs.

"I will if you keep crying!" I shout again.

This is insane. How can Veronica think she can just kiss Mitch? Does she even know what she is getting herself into?

"Let's go home..." I say. "I'm ashamed to know you..."

Veronica nods hopefully.

"Wipe your tears!" I shout.

Why am I so angry at her? I should be angry at Mitch. Wait...of course I'm angry at her! She kissed my boyfriend's best friend.

Veronica dries her tears and we find where my Mum's car is. We get inside.

"Are you two okay?" Mum says, looking at us.

"Yes..." I say. "We're just a bit tired."

I glare at Veronica. She just crossed the line. So did Mitch.

I want to tell Perri but I don't think he would be too happy to hear this. Especially as he isn't even talking to Mitch.

When we get home, I take a shower, get changed and then hop into bed. I remove my homework from off the kitchen table. Its completed...thanks to Perri.

I sit on my bed. Veronica is still in the bathroom...of course. If I don't get the right amount of sleep tonight, I'm killing her in her sleep.

I see her phone on her bed. Hmm...maybe I can find out what's really going on. No Amber, You can't just go looking into other people's phones! Yes I can...

I quickly pick it up. Ughh...password needed. I search my brain. What could it be? I click the 'clues' box. A question comes up.

'Who do I hate most in the world?' It says.

What kind of question is that? I nervously type 'Amber'. What do you know...its correct! I roll my eyes. I have a good mind to change her password so she never gets to use her phone again. Then I remember what I'm looking for...evidence.

I scroll down to her messages. Most of them are from Mitch! Before I get a chance to look at them, Veronica comes out of the bathroom She's in her silk pyjamas. She looks at me and then frowns.

"What are you doing with my phone?" She says, reaching to grab it from me.

"Nothing..." I say, moving it out of her reach.
