Fixing Her ⇉ Simon Minter [2]

TWENTY-FOUR

Simon played with my hair as we laid in his bed, having moved from Vik's bedroom out of respect. Everything felt like the whole day hadn't happened and Simon had just begged me to give him a chance. I felt at peace here, in his arms as he fiddled with my hair, me listening to his heartbeat. I didn't want this to go away.

"Are you really going to talk to Dan?" mumbled Simon, snapping me away from my peaceful trance.

I let out a sigh against his chest and moved my head to look up at his face.

"Yes and no. I want to ask who my attacker was, but that's it. Anything we once had, is gone. I have you, and that's all I need," I said quietly. Simon couldn't help the small smile that curled upon his lips, the glint in his eyes, as I told him Dan was no longer in the picture.

"I'll come with you," he offered, and I nodded, moving my head into a more comfortable position and returning to listen to the sound of his heartbeat.

I clenched my jaw as I found myself back in the Unex Tower. I was here to see Will Lenney, a friend of mine and co-workers with the boys.

I felt immensely tense at the fact I was back at the tower, knowing that a floor or so down was Harry with his knew girlfriend.

I wasn't as upset at Harry as I once was, I was just hurt. Who wouldn't be? I'd loved him for a year and he'd lied to me, told me he loved me whilst he slept in the same bed as another girl. I could never forgive him, but I couldn't hate him forever.

I finally reached Will's flat and knocked on the door, thankful Gee had gone to Chip's house for the day.

"Aye, you look like utter shite," came the northern accent the boy was still clinging to.

"Did I tell you I recently became a mirror?" I laughed as I stepped into Will's flat, the brunet laughing along. Will had always been a jokester, his whole career based off the jokes and digs he threw at other people online. Basically, he was making money off trolling. YouTube was a weird job.

"You seem a lot better now," said Will as we walked to his lounge and flopped on the couch.

"Yeah," I laughed, "Minus my scarred eye."

"If it's worth anything, you look proper bad ass," Will said with a shrug. I smiled widely and relaxed into the sofa. If someone was going to make me feel better, it was Will Lenney.

Will passed me a piece of pizza as we laid on the couch, the both of us relaxing and watching a movie. We hadn't done anything in the few hours I'd been here, apart from watch movies and film two videos. I'd been on Will's channel before, but it'd been two years since I'd even been in London, it was a relief we didn't have to script so much.

"You think Noah Centineo knows how much he's going to blow up?" Will pondered as he watched the TV. I sat up slightly and shrugged.

"Probably not. I never knew how big the guys were until I moved in and I was bombarded by fans," I chuckled. Will laughed as well and we both sat up, sliding next to each other.

"The second I was seen with JJ, girls just wouldn't leave me alone, which I guess comes with the job but doesn't mean I like it," he said with a sigh. I frowned and leaned my head on Will's shoulder.

"You just got to wait. You'll find someone who likes you for you, Will," I told him. I felt Will tense underneath me and I sat up, looking at him

"Will-," I began but before I could finish my sentence, Will had his hands on my waist, lips on mine and his eyes closed.

I froze. I didn't want to kiss him, but I knew I couldn't bear to let him down.

The world sped back up as Will pulled away, hope in his eyes.

I opened my mouth to speak but found myself lost for words. How did I tell Will no when he looked so happy?

"No."

Apparently, bluntly was the way to go.

Will's face fell, and my stomach dropped.

"I'm sorry-," I began, but I was cut off when Will smiled. I frowned in confusion as our eyes met again.

"It's okay. Didn't expect it to work anyway," he chuckled, a hint of sadness lingering in his soft voice. I smiled sadly, and we sat in silence.

"I would, but I'm building something at the moment," I admitted after a few minutes of silence. Will didn't even look at me, his eyes glued on the TV again and acting as if nothing had happened.

Letting out a heavy sigh, I positioned myself against Will and placed my eyes on the TV.
