Why Me? (Reece Bibby FanFiction)

Chapter 34

I was packing up my things whilst Reece was in George's room talking about the Europe shows with him and Blake. I put my last top in my bag and put it on the floor next to the door so I wouldn't forget it. I looked at myself in the mirror, god I looked a mess. Hair in a messy bun, jeans and a baggy shirt, I need to make more of an effort on my appearance. There was a knock on the door which startled me a little but I opened it and Reece was standing there on the phone to someone. He pecked me on the lips before walking in the room and continuing his phone conversation.

"'You're sure? I really want it to happen but if you don't right now I get it. Mmm, yeah, okay perfect, I will see you soon' Megan?"

"Yeah" 

"I just got off the phone with my Mum" Oh god, I completely forgot I hadn't met his Mum yet but somehow he's met mine

"Oh really? How is she?" I had no idea who his mum was but I wanted to make sure everything was okay at home.

"Yeah she's great, but you know how it's bank holiday on Monday?" I nodded and he stood up and slithered his arms around my waist "Well, if its okay with your Mum, you can stay over at mine tonight and meet my family?" My eyes grew wide and my whole body tensed, I was so bad at meeting people, when I first met Scott's parents I couldn't say a word. Stop comparing this to Scott Megan, this will be different.

"I'd love too! Let me just text my mum and ask" I went and got my phone off the dresser, completely forgetting how cracked it was, "Shit" I dropped my phone back on the bed and looked at my bleeding thumb

"What happened?" Reece came over, "Hey why is your phone so smashed" He took my hand and led me towards the bathroom sink.

"After Tris called you to go get ready he did the same to me saying the Joe wanted to talk to me and Chloe, it made me jump so I dropped my phone and it smashed. It's fine, I will get a new one when I go home Monday" Reece ran my thumb under the cold tap washing the blood from it.

"You can't wait till then, you'd keep cutting yourself. We'll get one before we get to my house" I didn't have enough money to get one today, I'd only brought cash with me, not my card.

"Reece my card is at home so I can wait till then, honestly I will be fine" A frown formed on Reece's face as the cold water continued to wash the blood from my thumb.

"I will go get a plaster" I told him that they were in my suitcase  so he went and got one to wrap around my bleeding thumb. "I think we're going to head off in about ten minutes so are you all ready?" I scanned the room to see if there was anything that I'd left out, my phone was still laying on the bed so as long as a didn't forget that I should be fine

"I'm all good" Reece picked my case up off the bed and got his from the door, I grabbed my phone carefully putting it into my pocket and went to go open the hotel room door so Reece could get out. As we entered the corridor I made Reece let me wheel my own suitcase. Blake and Chloe were walking infront of us, I went to shout for them but Reece put his finger to his lips telling me not too.

"I've already told Chloe that your coming with me but she said she was staying at Blakes" He whispered, I text my mum in the hotel room and she just told me to stay safe. As long as I was with Reece, I knew I'd be safe.

"Oh okay, do you think your Mum will like me?" Reece showed a confused expression

"Of course she will like you, how could she not like you, how could anyone not like you" I smiled down to the floor, he's so sweet to me all the time. We said our goodbyes to everyone in the reception area and then got in the car waiting for us outside. this was my first journey with Reece that wasn't on a train, I was glad I was in the comfort of a roomier car though, trains make me so conscious about the people around me. I don't think it had sunk in yet that I was going to be meeting Reece's family. So many different thoughts were running through my mind, would they like me? Would they accept mine and Reece's relationship. I'm such a worrier, but can you blame me? "You alright babe? You're practically shaking" He let a small chuckle slip and gentle squeezed my hand assuringly.

"Yeah, just nervous I guess" I didn't realise how obvious it was, I've never really been good at hiding my emotions

"You've got no reason to be nervous, I promise"

The car journey wasn't overly long but it sure did feel like it was. We turned into a small street with some detached houses that looked so nice on the outside, this area was really well taken care of. The car pulled to a stop outside one of the houses and Reece squeezed my hand yet again.

"This is it" I looked out the window and stared at the wooden door, this was it. "Come on" Reece got out the car and went to the boot to retrieve our bags, I got out my side of the car to go and help him. As I was lifting my case out of the car I was laughing and getting Reece to try helping me.

"Reece be a gentleman and help her will you" I looked towards the house to see a woman standing in the doorway.

"Thats my Mum" Reece said as he lifted my bag out of the boot. All I could think was please like me, please like me.
