the bad guy's good girl

chapter 20

Day 1:

Waking up. No text from Simon. Yet. I'm slightly worried. But it's not like he's going to be able to text me constantly. It has to be a secret.

I change into my clothes. I'm going to school. Maybe it will take my mind off it. Hopefully Mia is okay too. After all, her boyfriend has gone too just for me and Simon.

I make my way to class.
"I miss JJ so much. I did text him but he hasn't replied yet" Sam sighs.
"He's out with the lads. He's probably not gonna touch his phone" Aisha says.
"Yeah true" She replies sadly.

"Mia are you okay?" I say as I sit next to her in history.
"Just missing Ethan. He hasn't text me yet. How about you? Has Simon text or called?"
"No. Not yet. I'm sure they're okay though. Let's just stay positive"
"We need to tell Serena and Sam. I don't know how much longer I can keep this a secret from them. Even the other girls. You know they speak to them. They are nearly in relationships with each other. Aisha and Vikk. Tiffany and Tobi. Harry and KK. It's not fair on them Anna" She whispers.
She's right. We have to tell them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We need to talk to you" I say the girls after classes have finished.
"Sure what's up?" Serena says.
"You know how we said the guys have gone on a 'lads holiday'. Well they haven't" Mia says.

"What are you saying?" Sam asks.
"Simon has this guy from his past coming after me and him because Simon did something bad and betrayed him. I don't know what it is. So the guys have gone to Chislehurst for 3 days to pretend to work for him again, just to keep us safe. And to get rid of him" I explain.

"Oh my god" Aisha gasps.
"So that's why JJ hasn't replied to me! Because he's risking his life saving Simon!" Sam shouts.
"Not just Simon! For me" I shout back.
"Well are they okay?! My boyfriend has gone on a death mission!" Serena says.
"Simon said that when they can they will call and text. Guys I'm so sorry. I tried to stop Simon but he wouldn't listen. I know Aisha, KK and Tiffany are close to getting with Vikk and Harry. And Tobi. But I know they will come back. Safe and sound okay?" I say.
"They better" Sam walks off.
Shit.

"Don't worry. She's just worried about JJ. I'm worried about Josh, but you have to have faith okay?" Serena says to us all, before walking off to check on Sam.

All this talk is making me miss Simon.
I try to call him but it goes straight to voice mail.
"Hey Simon. Hopefully you'll get this soon and you'll call or text me back. Me and Mia told the girls about where you've really gone, we just couldn't keep it a secret any longer. I hope you're okay. Every minute goes by, and there's still no word from any of you which makes me worry. Hopefully Stephen hasn't killed you all- Sorry that was a really bad joke. I really hope you're okay. Please. Call me as soon as you can. I-I-I love you Simon. Yes that's right. I'm finally admitting it. I love you Simon Minter. And you better get your lanky ass home in 3 days time so I can say it to your beautiful face. Goodnight Simon" I cry and hang up the phone.

The only time I can hear his voice is when he says to leave a message on his voice mail.  If I have to keep listening to that to keep me sane, then I will.

After watching movies endlessly, it's now after midnight and still no word from Simon. I'm officially fearing for the worse. I don't know if he's even alive right now. Or if he could be dead.
But there's that small possibility inside me, reminding me to have faith.
Maybe he's just busy. And that he will call or text me very soon.

All my thoughts overwhelm me, so I just cry for a bit, letting it all out.
I stumble across some pictures of me and Simon which don't help, so I decide to call it a day and go to sleep.
I change into my night clothes and jump into bed when my phone goes off. It's a text. And suddenly everything in the world feels right again.

Simon- I love you too
