Been Here All Along xx

Chapter Eighteen - 18

I'M DEADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

My body is broken and is now a tomato.

So, why not update?

"Thank you so much for inviting us!" My mum said to Mrs. Danby.

"Well, thank you for coming!" Mrs. Danby said in reply with a smile. I looked at Jake and kissed his cheek.

"Thanks for suggesting we come, Jake." I said and he smiled.

"You're welcome." he smirked. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I quickly pulled it out and glanced at it.

Old Man Darcy - WHAT. WHAT? WHAT.

I saw and laughed to myself. I had sent her, "So... I think Jake and I might be back together... :/" she had sent me many messages just including "WHAT?" and "WHAT." She messaged me again.

Old Man Darcy - DYLAN, YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW.

I slid my phone in my purse and smiled at Jake.

"Well, we better go." My mum said and hugged Jake and his parents. I then recieved hugs from Jake's parents.

"I'll walk you two out." Jake said and winked at me. He held my hand.

"Bye." My mum and I said to Mr. and Mrs. Danby, and walked out with Jake.

"I cannot believe you." Jake leaned down and whispered in my ear. "An hour ago, I was trying to make myself hate you again."

"Again?!" I said and fake gasped.

"Mhmm. I've always hated you, Farley." he said and I rolled my eyes.

"Goodbye, weirdo." I said and kissed his nose.

"Goodbye, liar." he said and kissed me softly. I kissed him back and put my arms around his neck. He pulled away and kissed my cheek. "Bye."

"Bye." I waved and got into the driver's side of the car. I smiled at him and pulled out of his driveway. He blew a kiss to me and I rolled my eyes while I 'caught' it.

"You two are dramatic." My mum said and then mumbled: "Broken up forever my bum."

"Mum." I said and she smiled innocently at me. "No, I'm being serious right now. Don't tell anyone that him and I are back together."

"And why not?" she asked me and I sighed.

"Because. Now, please?" I asked her and she nodded slowly.

"You aren't going to break up with him, are you?"

"No. I just know that there are a couple guys who would be upset at me for dating him again. That's all." I said and she gave me a weird look, but forgot about the topic.

"So, we have been invited for lunch at the Tomlinson's this Saturday." My mum said and I groaned.

"Do I have to go? Can't you just hire someone to play 'Dylan Farley'?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes.

"Lanie, you're going." she said and I sighed and stopped behind traffic. "Why wouldn't you want to go? I thought you and Louis got along."

"Well, I'm pretty sure he might like me... and I wouldn't want him to do something. I'm dating Jake."

"You think Louis likes you?" she said and wiggled her eyebrows.

"Mum! Stop! I'm dating Jake and that's that." I said and turned the radio on quickly.

"Well... are you wanting to invite him to come to the vacation house?"

"I don't know..." I said and started driving once the traffic cleared. "I don't really want to discuss this."
