Trouble (Miniminter FF/AU)

° Chapter 12 °

We still walked to Emma's house. She was barely walking, so most of her weight was leaning on us. She was half asleep so she couldn't hear us what we were saying.

"I'm sorry you have to spend the rest of your Friday evening like this." I said

"It's okay, I've had worse nights before." he said and smiled. I smile back.

After about 10 minutes we finally got to Emma's house. I sneak her inside, looking around if her mum came home. She was still working. Emma fell asleep completely, so Simon helped me put her in her bedroom. I left her a note and covered her with the blanket. I put her keys next on her table and left the room. Simon and I left the house.

We walked down the street for a while, not saying anything. It was still a bit awkward.

When I was in front of my house I said:

"Sorry you had to help me like that."

"Don't mention it. I had fun." he said and giggled

"...everything is fun when no one is looking at us." he adds looking down

"Yeah, I agree." I said and looked towards my house. Mum and dad were peeking through the widow, but moved the curtain back so I can't see them. Luckily I noticed them.

I roll my eyes giggling.

He laughs as well, he noticed it too. He hugs me.

"I guess I'll see you soon." I said trying to cover my smile.

Before I left i stood on the tip of my toes as I kissed him on the cheek.

"Bye Annabelle." he smiled

I walked up to my house and I smiled when I saw him going away, his hands were in his pockets.

I went in and mum and dad pretended like everything is normal.

"You guys are terrible at spying, you know that?" I said as I was walking upstairs

"Dammit" I heard them say

I went to my bedroom and threw myself on the bed. I instantly fell asleep with a thought that I kissed Simon tonight.

***

I woke up, still in my dress. The first thing that crossed my mind was Taylor, I need to talk to her.

Then I thought about Emma, I hope she is okay.

Then my mind completely switched to the thought of Simon. I still can't believe he kissed me, and how his lips moved softly and gently. And it made me forget about the world. Maybe that is the cure...but I can't think about that now. I'm to afraid to even think about it.

I got up and changed into my normal clothes for home. I took off my makeup and went downstairs. Luckily, Taylor was there. Maya was sitting next to her, watching Taylor have a really bad headache.

"What the fuck is going on?!" I asked Taylor about Mike immediately

"Whoa, whoa,whoa stop it, what the fuck are you talking about?" she asked completely calm with her tired eyes.

"Maya can you please go to your room?" I ask her stroking her hair

"Fine" she sighed and left to her room

After she closed the door, I immediately asked Taylor:

"What did you start doing with Mike?" I asked her and I watched her as she froze a bit, looking into my eyes.

"Whaat? Nothing. Where did you hear that lie?" She asked looking down

"Don't lie to me! I even saw you last night." I said

She just stayed silent.

"Is that why his behaviour has become shitty?" I asked

"I don't understand it. What is wrong and why are you doing all that with him?" I added

"Annabelle...I-I honestly don't know. I think I'm falling for him." She said looking down.

"So why do you have the decency to talk shit to me about a guy that I'm not even hooking up with?!" I said feeling furious.

"It's fucked up, okay? And I don't know what to do." She said

"Well, welcome to my world." I said and wanted to walk away but she grabbed my arm

"Please. Just listen." She said

"No, you'll listen to me.How do you not get it? If you two start dating and everyone knows it my clique is going to be fucked. We will fall apart and will end up god knows where... Just think of how this would affect other people." I said and let go of her arm.

I went upstairs to my room.

I lied down on my bed and just started thinking and thinking...

I got a text from Emma telling me she is okay. She was really thankful and we chatted for a bit. She seems a bit down bevmcause she still remembers what happened with Mike.

I told her we will talk about it in school.

I fear that my clique is falling apart.

If any of us mess up only one thing

We're all in trouble.
