The Bad Boy Next Door

Chapter 17 - More Secrets and Stroppy Girlfriends

He stretched his arm out to help me up. I had noticed that the grass below me was now moulded to the shape of my butt, that makes sense considering we have been sat here for forty five minutes just talking about my mothers heartbreaking affair. Miles promised he was going to keep it to himself, and if somehow he told someone he gave me permission to shove not just a pole but a whole god damn tree up his ass.

We walked thought the field admiring the final glimpse we are going to have tonight, taking it all in.

"It's so pretty." I said to Miles who snorted. "What?"

"Nothing." He snorted again.

"What?!" I snapped once again wanting to know what was so amusing to him.

"It's just you have really bad stains on your ass from where you've been sitting." He laughed. My cheeks blew up into a light red shade as I turned away from him in embarrasment.

"Why are you looking then?" I tried to smirk to hide my embarrassment.

"Kind of hard not to."

We walked back to my house in silence after that, nothing to say, just like Miles had returned to his old self suddenly when I realised he had disappeared from next to me. Where has he gone? I looked across the road and saw his front door shut making a loud banging noise. Why didn't he want to say goodbye?

Surely, after all of what I have just told him he could at least say goodbye? Maybe he wasn't feeling well or something, but to be honest he didn't show any sign of that he was just walking in silence.

Maybe he just doesn't want to get too close, I don't blame him. Why did I think for a second that Miles would want to be my friend. Actually I take that back, why for a second would I want to be Miles friend? He is way out of my league and I don't make friends with bad boys who could potentially ruin my life, this is not me.

I suddenly regretted the last hour or so. This sudden fear of no trust drove through me. Miles will tell people, that is just who he is. I will walk into school tomorrow and everyone will know about my Mum. I will be teased, I will have not just a cup of milkshake thrown over me but a whole bucket.

If only I can take everything back.

Why do I fall so easily for people? I talk to him for approximately one second and there I am being swayed into the arms of Miles Webb, being drawn into his mind games.

He is a horrible human being and I never want to be associated with him ever.

As I walked up to my front door a car pulled in and Dad got out. I cringed as I noticed the situation.

"Dad, since when have you got a driver?" I said as he stepped out of the black Mercedes with tinted windows.

"Since your father became one of the best lawyers in not just Openhay but the whole of this area." He proudly said saying thank you to the driver who wore a jacket and dark sunglasses.

"What?"

"I just won a huge case."

"What was it about?" I said going to the front door admiring Dad's new polished fancy suit.

"I can't tell you that pickle, i've signed too many agreements for young teenage girls to go blabbing around the neighbourhood." He laughed and walked through the entrance. "Now where's your mother, we need to celebrate."

I paused in the entrance of the house and watched Dad.

Everything has become real, I will have to keep this big secret but by doing that I am going against Dad but then again I don't want Mum to know that I know. Looking at him, so happy, so in love with my mother breaks my heart I can't bear to watch. How am I going to look into my mother's eyes and smile? Everything is going to change now, I don't even recognise her.
