My Not So Ordinary Life

Chapter Eighteen

"Bella! What are you doing here?" Emma asked.

"Me? What are you doing? Oh my god. I can't believe I just witnessed that," I say walking downstairs and sitting down on the couch.

I give them a few minutes and wait for them to come down.

Checking instagram, I go to Emma's page, and then Austin's.

They both say taken, by each other.

Emma walks into the room.

Showing Emma the date on Austin's profile, she looks worried.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but-"

"But what? You've been avoiding me so you can have sex with Austin?" He walks into the room. "Shows what kind of a friend you are." I get up and head towards the door.

"Bella, wait," Austin said. "I'm so embarrassed, I'm sorry."

"Yeah? You should be." And with that, I left.

I drove to the Walgreens parking lot and went to the Secret Dark Tunnel.

"Bella? What are you doing here?" Someone catches me right before I entered the tunnel.

"Harry."

"Hey," he said. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I said.

He stared at me, not totally convinced. "What happened?"

"I just need a place to get away for some time," I answered.

"Bells, you know you can always talk to me, no matter what."

"Thanks," I say. And then I go into the tunnel.

I walk into the main room, and luckily no one is here, besides Harry following me in.

Harry sits next to me on the couch. "Do you want to talk about it?"

I sigh and tell him the story.

"So she really did it," he asked me.

"Unless there was something different going on. But yeah, she did."

"I understand why you're mad at her, but you two are best friends. Don't let this ruin your friendship."

"Harry, are you really telling me I shouldn't be mad at her? I mean-"

"That's not what I said at all. I said it makes sense that you are in a fight with her, but don't let it destroy your friendship. You're better than that. Sure, it hurts to have her ignore you for a guy, but you have to ignore her for something you can't even tell her about. It eventually evens out."

"I can't believe you're taking Emma's side over mine."

I get up and leave the tunnel.

I expect Harry to be following me, but when I look behind me, no one is there.

I have no where I anticipate to go at this point, so I decide to head to Starbucks to get a Frappuccino.

I pay the cashier and sit down at a table by myself.

My dad doesn't trust me, and apparently Emma doesn't either, otherwise she would've told me. Austin is a player. I'm the one that even set them up, basically. Simon and the One Direction boys obviously don't trust me either. Why does everyone seem to hate me?

I feel my eyes getting wet.

No. I am not about to cry, especially out in public. That's something I save for falling asleep.

"Oh my gosh. It's Bella!" I hear someone say loudly.

I look up to see a random girl I don't know, and some of her friends behind her. They're coming towards me.

I fake a smile and say "Hi."

"Hi! My name is Jenna, and this is Alanah and David. We're following you on instagram. I never thought I'd actually get to meet you! I'm a huge fan. You're so perfect!"

"Thank you so much Jenna," I smile. "You actually just made my day." I get up and hug her.

Jenna has long wavy black hair, and green eyes.

Her friends seem to be in awe. I give them a hug as well.

"Would you mind taking a photo with us?" Alanah said. "Or is that too much to ask?" She had short brown hair that went to her shoulders, and the darkest brown eyes I've ever seen.

"No, of course I will. Here, I can post something on instagram," I say opening the camera on my phone.

"Excuse me," I ask someone who looks like they're getting ready to leave. "I'm sorry to bother you, but would you mind taking our picture?"

"Sure," the man said.

I hand him my phone and stood in between Jenna and Alanah with David next to Alanah. We put our arms around one another and smiled for the picture.

"Say cheese," the man said, and then handed me back my phone.

"Thank you, sir," I told him. And then he left.

"Here, type in your usernames to tag you," I told them.

They did and as David handed me back my phone he asked, "Is something wrong?"

I lied and said, "No, why?"

"Because your caption says 'When old friends betray you, make new ones.'" David has bleached blonde hair like Ross Lynch from Austin and Ally, and the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen. He has freckles, and when he smiles, he has the most adorable dimples. No one in the world could compare.

With the exception of Harry.

"Okay," I sighed. "You caught me. I got in a fight with my best friend and it's been kind of a rough day."

"Do you mean Emma?" Alanah asked.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I follow her on instagram as well. You guys are a huge inspiration to me. I really look up to you." Alanah said.

"We all do," Jenna piped in.

"Thank you, guys. You are so sweet. Look, it was really nice getting to know you, but I should get going."

I grab my bag, and pick up my phone that already has multiple notifications from instagram and leave.

"Hey, Bella," David grabs my arm right before I leave.

It seems that Alanah and Jenna are walking to the ladies room.

"What?"

"I just want to let you know, that whatever you're going through, don't let it be the end of your friendship with Emma. You two seem to be a package deal, and a lot of people who don't know you; including me, but I know you now; they look up to you and admire you. Whatever happened, I hope you can fix things with her."

"Thanks," I say and shake my arm free of him.

And with that, I went home.
