Been Here All Along xx

Chapter Six - 6

"Oh shut up." I punched Josh's arm gently. "Nice seeing you Fay!" I yelled to Josh's mom. 

"You too, sweetie!" she yelled from the kitchen. I picked up my backpack from the floor. Josh gave me a small hug.

"See you tomorrow." he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Bye Joshy Woshy!" I laughed and left. It was kinda odd saying bye to him considering he lived right next door and I would have to see him on accident. I walked in the direction of my house and kinda just stared at it. It looked a lot bigger than I think of it. It looks like a mini mansion, but I'm probably just to use to it to notice. I entered through the front door and went straight to my room. My mom wasn't home, probably at work, so I turned some music on to past the time. 

It was Tuesday. This meant that I had to go to work at a later time for a shorter shift. Liam usually came by, picked me up, and dropped me off at work. I didn't have my liscense. Liam had texted me and told me he couldn't take me because Darcy and him had a project to work on. It was for English, it was the same project Josh and I had been working on. I thought about texting Harry, but I didn't really want to. Anna and him are probably on a date. He is taking this seriously, well that's what he told me. I could text Niall... or I could go over and see if Josh could take me... nah. I looked in my contacts, lets see. Who else is there? Well, there's Jake... but he is working right now... oh well, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Jake - Hey, are you working alone right now?

He replied pretty quickly.

From Jake - No, my mum is here. Aren't you coming in? Everything alright?

Jake - Yeah, everything is fine. I just need a ride to work.

I'm guessing there aren't a lot of people there, he is never on his phone.

From Jake - Oh, I can give you one... I'll be there in a bit.

Jake - Thank you. 

Jake had dropped me off before, so he knew where I lived. I grabbed my phone and turned everything in my room off. I walked downstairs, the kitchen light was on and I decided I should get a snack to eat before I leave. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. I felt a hot breath on my shoulder, similar to the feeling that I had felt last week or so. I looked over my shoulder and my basement door was open. What the heck?

I walked to the door and looked down the stairs, the lights were on. I wasn't scared of my basement so I walked down the stairs. I saw a person facing a picture I had painted when I was about 8... okay, I'm a little scared of my basement now. The person turned around and it was my dad. I gasped.

I woke up at the top of the stairs, in the kitchen. I rubbed my eyes, I looked around and the floor was wet, I must have hit my head, I thought to myself. I got up and the basement door was closed. That was freaky. 

"Good, you're awake. That scared the crap out of me." I heard Jake and jumped a little. "Oh sorry, I got here and knocked on your door... it was unlocked and I kinda just found you on the floor. Here, water might help." he handed me a glass of water. I nodded and took sip "You okay? You look pale." 

"It's natural, I'm fine." he nodded and I put the glass down. I turned the lights off and grabbed my phone. We went outside and I locked the door behind me. I got into his car and he started to drive in the direction of the coffee shop.

"Do you need a ride home?" Jake asked me as we were closing the shop.

"Nah, my mom is on her way, but thanks." I smiled at him, I guess I don't hate him anymore... he hasn't been such a prick since the day Darcy fell off her stool. I walked out of the shop and he followed me. He locked the doors and stood there. "Aren't you going to go home?" I looked up at him and he shook his head.

"I'll wait with you." he smiled down at me. I looked up at him and noticed he had really cute dimples. They weren't too deep, but they were still deep enough so you could tell he had them. He began to lean down a bit and I realized what he was doing. A few moments later his lips were on mine and I was kissing him back. His hands found there way around my waist and my hands flew up to his cheeks. I heard a honk and we pulled away. I looked up and saw Liam in his car.

"I uh... have to go." I smiled at him a little. He smiled and nodded.

"Bye, love." I waved a little and got into Liam's car. His jaw was clenched and I had barely closed my door by the time he sped away.

"What. Was. That?" I looked at him and sighed.

"Nothing."

"Nothing?!" he laughed bitterly. "You better be glad your mom didn't pick you up."

"She wouldn't have cared!" I crossed my arms and looked out the window. "When did you become my father." I saw him look at me and I looked down.

"Dylan.. look, I'm sor-"

"I saw him today."

"What?" he asked and I looked at him and cleared my throat.

"I'm thinking about him again and I saw him." he kept his eyes on the road.

"You mean you imagined him." 

"I still saw him." I looked down. "And you know what? It isn't your freaking buisness who I am with or anything." I looked out the window and the rest of the car ride was silent. I stopped thinking about my dad and all I could think about was Jake... great, I'm going to have to tell Darcy she was right. This is a bummer.

"Where's Liam?" my mom asked as she entered the living room. I was laying on the couch with my laptop on my lap. I looked up at her.

"At home, I'm guessing." she looked at me.

"Are you feeling alright?" I shrugged and closed my laptop. "Did you and Liam get into a fight?"

"I guess you could say that..." I sighed and she sat my me. 

"I'm sorry, sweetie." she put her hands around me and I laid my head on her shoulder. "Wow, you are burning up." she said putting a hand on my head, I groaned.

"Really? Great." she kissed my head and got up.

"I'll get you some medicine. Are you hungry?" I looked at her and shook my head. She disappeared into the kitchen and my phone vibrated. I picked it up and looked to see I had a text from Liam and Jake. I opened Liam's first.

From Li-Li :) - Lanie, I'm really sorry... can you call me?

Nope, I can't.

Then I opened Jake's message.

From Jake - Hey love! :)

I smiled at his text and my phone vibrated again, before I looked at the new text I messaged Jake back.

Jake - Hello :)

Liam had texted me again.

From Li-Li :) - Please, don't ignore me. 

Li-Li :) - I'm sick... can't talk right now.

My mum came back with water and medicine, I quickly took it and laid on the couch. 

"Do you want to go upstairs?" I shook my head no and my mom nodded. She kissed my forehead and walked out of the living room. 

I texted Jake for a little longer and ended up falling asleep on him. 

If Darcy tells me 'I told you so', I hope she knows I'm finally okay with her being right.
