Cupid's assistant

Chapter 19

After school I told Daniel that I would go home with Simon and Hannah. After a while of trying to persuade me otherwise he gave up and left but not before he gave me a heart melting hug. I walked over to Simon's car and waited for him and Hannah while I thought about Daniel. In fact that's basically what I did all day. I just couldn't stop thinking about him. I really like him even though I have only known him for 4 days, but I feel like I have known him way longer than that.

I see Hannah and Simon walk out the building talking to each other wildly. I get a sudden feeling of annoyance and anger. They are talking and hanging out again! Do I even exist to them anymore?! Just because they like each other and won't admit it doesn't mean that they can just shut me out! How come one of them or both of them didn't come ask me for help! Maybe they think I won't approve... which I don't. Maybe they are already together but in secret! I quickly try to push away the feelings and the inferences and wave to them cheerfully. They looked surprised to see me there and Simon looked slightly annoyed.

They walk over to me and Hannah and I share a hug and I go in to give on to Simon but he doesn't hug me back. I pulled away and looked at him feeling a little hurt. "You ok," I ask him.

He laughs a harsh fake laugh making me jump a little back in surprise. "Why are you even here right now? Why aren't you off with your boyfriend Daniel? Why are you waisting your time with us when you could be flirting with a stranger." He says angrily stepping closer to me each time he said a sentence. I was really scared, I have never seen Simon like this.

"I am sorry if you feel like I haven't really spent time with you guys lately but I am just trying to be nice to Daniel and help him out. And the reason I'm here is because I wanted to spend time with y'all." I say a little hurt and defensive.

"Trust me you are being a little more than just nice to Daniel."

"So what if I am being a little more nice to him. He is a nice guy and I want to get to know him better, its not like I am jumping into anything! I don't see what the big deal is! I also don't think you have the right to tell me this, you are not my father!" I say yelling at him tears threatening to spill. Did he seriously just say that to me? Who does he think he is? Why is acting like this?

"You know what I really don't care anymore, I really don't want to be your back up friend. I don't want to be around you right now," he said in an uncaring tone that made my heart deflate. That's when the awful thought came upon me, what if is trying to get rid of me so he can be alone with Hannah. The thought made me want to throw up.

"Ok fine then I'll walk home," I say and start to walk off the tears starting to flow freely out of my eyes.

"Wait Sophie!" I hear Hannah yell, "Simon go apologize right now! I know you didn't actually mean it! Stop her! She can't walk home alone! Simon don't you dare walk away from me!"

"I did mean it and I am not sorry for saying it! She most certainly can walk home alone, she is doing it right now. I am pretty sure that she could simply call lover boy, he would come running to save her. Now get in the car," I hear Simon call back to Hannah plainly. I wanted to turn around and see his face to see if he really meant what he said but I didn't want him to see me crying. Eventually I hear Hannah stomp to Simon's car and Simon pull out of the school parking lot with a loud screech.

Thanks Hannah for trying so hard! Well at least she did try, and if my suspicions are correct then I know that Hannah won't give him what he wants because of the way he talked to me. She is my sister and we love each other and stand up for each other, even though we don't always do it completely or in the right way. I know that she is going to be loyal to me. Blood before everything else, right?
