It’s the next Friday and Conor and Jack are round at my house. Tomorrow, we’re all going to Mike’s house for a ‘gathering’ just so we can all get together. Lois, Liv, Leila and Charlotte are getting ready for it at mine then they’re all staying at mine for the night.
Ben and I have been pretty distant with each other in school so I’m hoping he’s alright with me tomorrow. I just feel like he’s too scared to be around me because of Conor. I don’t want him to feel that way.
But I have been getting on well with Sam. The guy who stuck up for me when James came over to me in the nightclub? Yeah, we’ve been talking a lot and he’s actually really nice and funny. Conor’s obviously not happy with us talking as much as we do but he finds Sam hilarious. Sam was telling us that he finds some girl in our year seriously attractive which makes Conor more relaxed about us being together. Conor and I always take the piss whenever she walks past us and Sam’s with us, so we said we’ll set the two of them up.
So at the moment, Jack’s watching some show on telly in the living room whilst Conor and I just talk on the sofa.
“Lucy, I’m home” Mum calls through the house.
“I’m in the living room” I call back and she soon opens the door to the room. I turn around and smile.
“Oh, hey you two. Are you alright?” she smiles at Jack and Conor. Jack finally releases his glare from the TV and smiles at my Mum.
“Yeah thanks, how are you?” he smirks.
“I’m great” she returns the smile. I roll my eyes at Jack’s purposely flirty gesture to Mum that he usually does just to annoy me. “Conor and Lucy, now that you’re together can I talk to you?” she asks us. I look up at Conor who has a worried expression on his face. His grip around me gets tighter and he fidgets slightly.
“Yeah” I shrug. We all turn to Jack who’s smiling widely at Conor’s ‘awkwardness’. His face drops when he realises he has to leave the room.
“Just help yourself to the fridge or something, Jack. They’ll only be five minutes” Mum chuckles. His eyes light up as he practically gallops out of the room, closing the door behind him.
“Where’s Dad?” I frown, realising he’s not here and he usually takes a lift with my Mum to and from work.
“We made our separate ways to work because he has to stay a little bit later tonight for a meeting” she huffs and I just nod understandingly.
“Anyway, I need to talk to you about what goes on behind closed doors” she kicks off the conversation and sits on the coffee table in front of the sofa Conor and I are sat on. My heart starts beating faster because I’m worried about what she’s about to say, and Conor instantly removes his arm from around my waist, putting me on edge immediately.
“Right” I edge her on.
“I know what you’re doing and I don’t really know if I’m happy with it” she shrugs, cutting straight to the point. What the hell?
“You don’t know what we’re doing at all” I frown.
“Lucy, who are you kidding? You’re at that age now, I get it. But I don’t want anything bad happening” she glares at me, shifting her gaze to Conor.
“Nothing bad’s going to happen” Conor speaks up and I nod in agreement.
“I’ve heard that before” she laughs dryly.
“Mum, you can’t just come in here and start interrogating us about what you think we do. It’s none of your business” I snap and her eyes widen in shock.
