It's complicated

•5•

"If you weren't so broken we'd probably just Netflix and chill but that's kind of hard right now so just make yourself comfy." He says whilst sitting down on his bed. Wait? Why can't I watch Netflix and chill for a bit, that's basically all I can do in this state
"Ermm, why can't we watch Netflix?" I ask, trying not to sound too confused
"Oh, you don't know what Netflix and chill means?" he says with a smirk on his face
"Yeah I do, it means watching Netflix and chilling." I say, matching his cocky tone
"No it doesn't." he says simply whilst laughing
"Then what does it mean?" I ask slightly embarrassed
"I'd show you but I don't imagine you're up to it, so I'm going to give you my Wi-Fi password and you're going to find out." he says, now I'm really confused
"Okay," I say whilst getting my phone out
"R7HHRTFE" he says whilst I type into my phone "Okay, now go onto the internet and type in Netflix and sure you'll find what you're looking for." he says before shutting up and letting me read what I've found.
OH.
He wanted to do that.
With me.
He has a girlfriend.
I stand up and walk to the door, I can feel his eyes following me but I refuse to turn round
"You going?" he asks
"Yes, and I never intend to see you again." I say before walking out of his door. I can't believe him, he brings me back to his house and then wants to 'Netflix and chill' with me, I don't think so Myles.

Once I'm finally out of his house I turn my phone on and ring my Mum
"Hey, can you pick me up? My back hurts." I say, hoping she won't ask too many questions
"Sure, where are you?" Good question Mum, where am I?
"I'm not too sure, I just walked." I say quietly before walking to the end of the street and finding out the name "Green Hill street." I say, relieved that I've heard the name before
"What are you doing there? It's full of rough people." my Mum says in a panic, let's just say she's slightly over protective
"I told you, I just walked." I say defensively
"Okay honey, I'm on my way." She says before the line goes dead, now I wait.
It's only been a few minutes and I see my Mum's car driving towards me, I breath a sigh of relief and then start walking towards it. Once I'm in the car my Mum begins ranting about what an awful place it is around here
"It's full of people who don't care one bit about there lives. And that house there, I've heard stories about that house there," she says whilst pointing at Myles' house "I work with tons of people who's daughters have had their heart crushed by a boy who lives in that house." Ermm, this is awkward. Little does she know I was in that house only five minutes ago "Please promise me you've never and never will have anything to do with people living near here." she says, ending her rant
"I promise Mum, I wouldn't dream of it." I lie, I was in that house with that boy really not all too long ago but I know she can't know
"I'm sorry about the rant, I just want the best for you." she says, her voice softens slightly
"It's fine Mum." I say, I know she wants the best for me, which is why from this day forward I'll never have anything to do with Myles again.

Once we get home I pull myself out the car and back up the stairs and into my room, where I pick up my laptop and put on Netflix, if Myles isn't prepared to actually watch Netflix that I will on my own.
