A Helpful Hand

Ch.12- Netflix is my babe

"No. Absolutely not, Emma." Ethan said, "You are not going."

I groaned. Harry invited all three of us to go hangout with him and the guys tonight. Jo and I want to go, but Ethan's protective side is kicking in.

"Oh come on Ethan! Please let me go!" I whined, "It's just for a couple of hours! He even said you can go! Please!"

I saw him think for a little bit. When he shook his head I knew it was a bust. I put my head down and jumped on my bed. Jo was in the restroom getting ready to leave to hangout with the guys.

"Don't be so down, Em." Ethan sat down on the bed next to me, "How about later, we got for some ice cream? You know why I'm not letting you go."

"Okay." I sighed. Why does ice cream have to be my weakness. I'm suppose to be mad at Ethan, not getting ice cream with him.

Jo came out of the restroom looking perfect. I have to admit, Jo has style. She knew what was in smd what wad out. Her closet is packed with stylish jeans to cute tops, it was to die for.

"You look nice Em.." she looked at me confused, "Why aren't you dressed?"

"Ethan won't let me go."

"Then I'm not going." she sat down at the edge of the bed and crossed her arms.

My phone buzzed and I saw that I got a text from Harry saying that they will meet in the lobby in 15.

"You are going. You didn't get all dolled up for nothing." I shoved her off the bed, "Now go before they leave you."

"What about you?" Jo got up and straightned her outfit.

"Just tell them I can't go." I sighed, "I won't be cooped in here forever though." I smiled.

Jo went to the mirror to check her outfit one more time. Her hair was curled loose at the ends, she had on smokey eye shadow, high waisted shorts, a flowery top, and a pair of sparkly TOMS to top it all off.

"When I get back I'll tell you everything that happened." she smiled and hugged me.

I hugged her back, "Talk later."

"Talk later." she winked and walked down the hallway to go meet up with the guys.

I closed the door and sighed. Jo is going to have so much fun and I'll be stuck in this room. I accepted my fate of the night and grabbed my laptop on the bed. I opened it up and, by habit, logged in to my twitter account. I scrolled down my newsfeed, scrolling past old boring ones, until I found a blue check mark.

"@Real_Liam_Payne: Hanging out with friends tonight! Gonna have a blast!"

Liam. Liam is there and I'm not. I feel like crying now because I had a chance to hangout with Liam Payne and got it taken away from me because of Ethan.

Speaking of Ethan, where is he? Aren't we suppose to be getting ice cream? Ice cream sounds really good right now. I got off my bed and went around and searched for him, not a beat later finding him in the hallway with that girl he was talking to earlier. Oh sure, you can have a love life but I can't?

I turned around and went back into my room and sat on the bed with my laptop on my lap.

"Well Netflix, it's just you and me tonight babe." I plugged in my earphones and clicked play.
