Pov: Ben
I smiled as i walked out of Maiseys front door. Shes gorgeous i thought to myself. I heard a familiar voice come from behind me. Maisey. I could see her running towards smiling. I looked at her confused.
''Hey cupcake'' I smirked.
''Dont call me that''
''Sorry, i cant help it.'' I let out a little smile. '' What do you want anyway?''
''Erm. Do you fancy erm coming to mine tomorrow night? My mums out and i thought it would be alright if we could get to no each other more. I'd like to no your background and stuff?'' She blushed. Im well getting into he pants i thought.
''sure, I'll be round at, say 5 ?''
''Yes thats cool. But Ben..''
''Yes?''
''This doesnt mean were friends'' She said turning round running back to her house.
I coulnt help but smile to myself. I only lived round the corner from her, i didnt realise how close we lived. It was kinda cool i lived so close her. It only took me two minutes to walk back to my house. I coul see my dad standing at the end of our drive. He didnt look happy.
''Alright'' I said walking past my dad with my head down looking at the floor.
He completely ignored me. I didnt care though. He always ignored me.
I walked into the front room and everything was everywhere. The sofa was turned upside down and there was bills and paper all over the floor. I heard a whimper coming from the bathroom upstairs. I walked up the stairs and saw my mum leaning against the toilet holding a roll of toilet paper. I senced that they'd had a argument again. It always happens. I walked up to her and she stared at me.
''Me and your father are having a divorce'' Her voice cracked.
''It cant be that bad , youll make up in a hour.''
''NO BEN.. this is it. He's such a dick head.''
i walked out of he bathroom feeling a tear fall down my cheek. This cant be it.
I pulled out my phone from my back pocket and went on to my contacts. I pressed on Maisey. After 3 rings she picked up.
''What do you want?'' She Asked.
Silence.
''Hello? Ben?''
''Hello, Sorry'' My voice cracked. My throat dry.
''Are you crying?'' She questioned.
''Yeah. Can i come to yours for an hour please?''
''Why? '' She questioned again.
''I no i've only known you for a day but your the only friend i've got round here. Please Maisey?''
''Sure, I'll just double check with my mum. One min..''
Silence.
''She said yes. But shes doing her work in the living room so we'll have to go sit in my bedroom..''
''Thanks cupcake'' I smirked with a tear rolling down my cheek again.
''See you in a min.'' I said putting the phone down.
Before i know it i was in Maiseys bedroom.
''Whats up?'' She looked concerned, i could see from the corner off my eye that she was playing with her necklase again. It made me happier.
''I've just gone home to my dad standing at the end of my drive waiting for a taxi and my mum sitting in the bathroom crying, i couldnt stay there.''
''Why happening?'' Maisey looked at me with concern and sadness.
''There getting a divorce..''I couldnt hold it in, i burst into tears. Maisey held her arms out for me to fall into them.
'' Thanks '' I whimpered.
We sat for 45 minutes talking about our families and how our parents didnt get on. Maiseys dad left when she was 7, she got upset looking at old photos she pulled out from under her bed.It was a box of memories, I saw the box i got her necklase in was in the box. I didnt realise how much we had in common. I felt her sent that she needed a cuddle so i flung my arms open, as she slowly fell into them. I fell on my back onto her bed as she put her head on my chest. It felt nice.
''Ben..'' She looked up at face, still her head was on my chest.
''Yes cupcake.'' I couldnt help it , she got so mad when i called it her. I could see her becoming mad.
''Dont call me that..'' She screamed. '' This doesnt mean were friends you no?Were two stangers that are just being nice to each other.'' She giggled putting her head back on my chest. '' By the way, i heard you telling Chase before i like him..''
I could feel my face turning red. ''Oh, sorry about that.''
''Yeah, so you should be, You humiliated me.''
''Im sorry.''
''Why did you tell him?'' She turned to face with her elbows on my chest.
In my head i knew what i wanted to say but i said the complete opposite.
''Cause he likes you.'' I felt my heart race, it wasnt because of that at all, i didnt even no if Chase liked her. I did it because i was jealous. I wanted her to like me.
'' No he doesnt my brother said to me the other day he didnt like me.'' I saw her face blush thinking about Chase actually likeing her. '' Actually..'' She said. '' He said to me the other day he wanted me to look hot for him at my party..''
Silence.
''Will you look hot for me?'' I giggled
''No'' She said stern.
Oh, i thought in my head.
Whats so good about Chase that i dont have?
