Chapter 17|| "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

• 17th update: July 8th •

-PHIL-

My heart starts racing rapidly and I begin to sweat. I sit up in bed quickly, catching my breath.

"Fuck." I whisper to myself, flinging my legs over the side of my bed and standing up, slipping off my shirt.

I sit back down on the bed, breathing heavy.

I can never sleep. It keeps haunting me over and over. The party, the car, the accident.

I can't get the image out of my head. The little boy's face as he ran to get his bright blue ball, the way he froze like a deer in headlights. He was frightened. He didn't know what to do. He was just a little boy.

I should have stopped. I was so scared I didn't want to go back.

They didn't catch me. But I deserved to be caught. This haunts me everyday, every minute. I can't escape it. I've cried over it many times.

I killed Grayson Howell.

I was so drunk that night I didn't mean to hit him.

The worst part is that Dan doesn't even know it was me. It's so hard to just pretend like nothing happened.

I have to tell Dan soon...

-YOU-

School was out finally. You are standing in front of Simon's porch, and you look over your shoulder and across the street to Dan's house.

Sighing heavily, you walk up to the door and knock on it. Simon had wanted you to come over about an hour early before the party had started.

"Hey baby." Simon smiles and pulls you in, kissing you all over.

"Heyy." you smile, and kiss him back.

"Ready to get your party on?" Simon laughs and winks at you, biting his lip.

"Yeah," you laugh as well, walking inside. "Good thing we're out of school now."

"Hell yeah," Simon says as he cracks open two cans of beer . "Cheers to that." he smiles as you both bump your cans together and take a sip.

You stare at your drink for a second before knitting your eyebrows together.

"Simon...?" you mumble.

Looking up at you, he raises his eyebrows to show that he's listening.

"Um...are we like...dating?" you look up at him, biting your lip hard. That question catches Simon off guard, and he sits back slightly, looking at you.

"I don't know..." he takes another sip. "I mean, we definitely have something." he smirks at you, causing your stomach to twist into knots.

"Something?..." you ask quietly.

"Yeah...we both like each other alot, right?"

Nodding your head, you bite your lip hard.

"Well then I think it's safe to ask this question...," Simon smirks at you, and you feel butterflies start to erupt in your stomach. Is this actually happening right now? "Y/N would you like to be my girlfriend?"

A smile spreads ear to ear on your face and you nod quickly, setting down your drink and hugging Simon, kissing him all over.

But even in this moment, you can't help but to think that you're somehow going to regret this.
