Your Pov:
Ethan was driving for about an hour and my butt started to hurt. "Where are we going E?" I ask, wanting to know because I want to get out of this car.
"I'm not gonna tell you, so stop asking." He replies, with a smile on his face. "Fine, then how long do we need?" I say. He looks at me and laughs.
"We were here 45 minutes ago" My face drops, "I've just been driving in a circle this whole time." He continues, smiling from ear to ear. I'm gonna kill this boy.
"You. Just. Wasted. 45. Minutes. Of. My. TIME?!!? Are u serious Ethan?!" I shout, obviously pissed off. He laughs and stops the car. We are at a milkshake place. Ffs this kid is gonna be the death of me.
I get out of the car not saying anymore and wait for Ethan to catch up. He leads the way into the shop and we sit down. He orders a strawberry milkshake and I order a oreo one.
A/N:
Oreo milkshakes are the best, don't @ me 🤪
We sit there in silence. It was getting so awkward. "Thanks for taking me here E, it means a lot" I say, wanting to start a convo. He shrugs his shoulders as if it was nothing. "You work so much, you deserve a day out." He smiles.
I smile back, this is getting so awkward. "Okay, thank you." I look away. What else am I meant to say? He laughs and looks away too. ThIs iS sO AwKwArD. "Can we go home now?" I ask him.
He looks at me weirdly. "Why do u wanna go home?" He questions, clearly confused. "Tbh, I'm just gonna be straight up with you, this is hella awkward." He laughs, "Okay leggo." We get up and leave (after we pay ofc).
When Ethan dropped me home he said, "Even though it was awkward, I had a really good time hanging out with you V." I smile, "Me too Ethan, thanks again." He turned and left. I've been thinking about what just happened for the last hour. He is so sweet.
I went inside and hopped into the shower. While I was having a shower, I heard screams from outside. What the hell? I quickly get out of the shower, put on clothes and run out to see what is happening.
Emma Chamberlain's house was on fire.
Serve's her right. Nah I'm kidding, I ain't that mean.
I go to her and she's bawling her eyes out. "Why the hell are you here? Have you come to make fun of how karma got me and laugh?" Emma says, crying. I smile at her, "You always think the worst of me." I reply.
I turn to leave and she stops me. I'm lowkey surprised. I turn around and she apologised. I accept her apology and leave. I mean, what else am I meant to do? Someone else can help her.
That was really mean but she would've done the same thing, right? But would I stoop as low as her and just walk away without doing anything? I'm not like that.
The next thing I know, I'm turning back and walking towards Emma. I guess I'm gonna help her. She looks at me, confused and asks, "Do you need anything." I laugh. A long, loud laugh.
"Am I not allowed to help you?" I say, smiling. She looks at me, studies me for a minute then decides to speak up. "Why do you want to help me? I would never have helped you." Lol I know.
"I ain't you Emma. I help people who need help." She looks offended. I carry on, "I mean, if you don't need any help I can leave, but if my house was on fire, I would appreciate the help."
She looked down, like she was contemplating what I just said. To be honest, I had a fricking point. She has nowhere to go and she's here tryna act all cool like chillax I'm tryna help.
She looks at me and says, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would really appreciate it if you would help me." I smile at her. "But you cannot tell anyone that you helped me, I have a reputation to keep." Ouch.
I look at her. I am not gonna help this little bitch with anything. Who the hell does she think I am? Mother Theresa? No. She pushed it way to far. My tolerance can only hold up for so long.
"Well." I say. She's smiling, why the hell is she smiling? "Fuck you and your reputation." I carry on. Her face drops. She's angry and I honestly don't give two flying shits right now.
"Um, how dare you speak to me like that? You're lucky I'm even speaking to you right now. You should be honoured to help me." She flicks her hair, obviously impressed with what she just said.
I laugh, and say while smiling, "Okay." I walk away happily. I don't care what she says anymore. If she was dying, I will never help her.
I go into my house, lock the door and fall asleep. Today has been a long ass day. But the day hasn't finished yet, because I get a phone call from the one and only, James Charles.
I wonder what he wants?
I'm staring at my screen, why the hell is James calling me? I have never been so confused in my life. Okay that's a lie but like I'm always confused so what's new.
I answer the call:
V: Um, h-hello?
J: Hey sister!! How are you?
That's weird, no one ever calls to check up on me, he obviously wants something.
V: I'm alright, what's up?
I should've said I was tired and hung up, but I was curious.
J: Nothing sister! I just have something I need you to do for me.
This is new, all these years and only the twins asked me to do things.
V: It's 1am what could you possibly need?
J: That's for me to know and you to find out! Can you come over right now?
No not really. I'm tired and I just wanna sleep.
V: Yeh sure, I'll be there as soon as I can.
J: Great! Bye sister.
V: Bye.
I get ready in 0.5 seconds and leave the house to go to James' house. I pull up in the driveway and park my car. I knock on the door. James answers.
"Hey Veronica! Thanks for coming! I just need you to check my editing." I look at him. "I don't work for you James, I don't need to do anything for you." I reply, immediately regretting what I just said. Why can't I keep my mouth shut?
"I just wanted you to check something, you know as friends." I look around his apartment. He had plastic bags big enough to fit a human, pills in bottles all across the tables and weapons. What the...
I look at him, "We're not friends James." He had a hurt look on his face. What the hell did he expect? Me to jump into his arms and scream 'Yasss I would love to check the edit for you bestfriend!' Sorry mate, it doesn't work like that.
I turn to leave. "I'm not done with you Veronica, I will get you to do what I want eventually." James said. I felt a shiver run down my spine. What the actual fuck does that mean?
I go home, put my phone on airplane mode and sleep. God help me for what's about to come.
