Bethany's POV

Ashton went home soon after our run, the day was spent catching up on homework and watching Dance Moms reruns. I had been on edge all day, terrified on the man with green eyes. I knew he wouldn't show up at my house but it's hard to not be frightened. I heard our front door open and Aoife walked in texting on her phone with earphones in which made me grab my phone to see a text from Michael.
Clifford: I'm coming over.
Me: Em why?
Clifford: I need your advice, big time :( I'm on my way. dont argue with me... want anything from the shop? 
Me: Chocolate milk.
As I put my phone down Aoife sat down beside me. "Can I help you?" I asked.
"Yeah... Can I invite a friend over?" 
"Why are you asking me, I'm not mum," I said sarcastically.
"They're gone out, they've been gone about 5 minutes..."
"Where were you?" I asked realising she just came in the door. 
"I was with Emily and her dad, we were shopping."
I sighed and nodded knowing she'd harass me all day if I said no. "Sure, do whatever I don't care." 
She squealed and jumped up from her spot on the couch and ran straight up to he room to do God knows what. 
At that exact moment the doorbell rang and my heart stopped. I knew it would be Michael but I couldn't help but feel nervous. I stood up and slowly walked to the door when it rang a second time. "Bethany open the damn door!" Michael. I breathed out heavily with relief.
I swung the door open and he barged through, heading straight to my room. "Hi, to you too," I greeted. He rolled his eyes at me and plopped himself on my bed throwing me my chocolate milk.
"I sucked Ashton off on those sheets last night, just saying." He looked repulsed and rolled onto the floor.
"I'm so glad you two worked things out," he replied sarcastically. "Anyway on to me."
I curled up on the beanbag I've had forever and nodded letting him speak.
"I had sex with Kendra." 
"You did what," I spluttered dropping my unopened chocolate milk into my lap.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "At the party... It kinda just happened, we were like grinding against each other and I got a raging hard on... Can you blame me? Then we went home together and it happened..."
"Were either of you drunk?" I asked, worried about the answer.
He shook his head no and then continued, "I'm afraid to talk to her about it."
"Wait, what about Sophie? Michael you didn't cheat on Sophie did you?"
"No Bethany I did not cheat on Sophie nothing ever happened with her, she was a bitch anyways."
"You don't, you know, regret it do you?"
Michael shook his head rapidly. "That's the problem, I can't stop thinking about her it's getting ridiculous." It was when he said this the bags under his eyes became more noticable.
"Michael, did you sleep last night?" 
"I couldn't... She was beside me and I couldn't stop thinking about her and wanting her and needing to touch her."
Michael slept with a lot of girls, it was his thing, but never has he lost sleep over a girl and that worried me, a lot. "How long have you liked her?"
"About 3 months... Don't hate me for this but Sophie was the 'rebound' girl, Bethany she's perfect, she is in my head 99% of the time."
"Talk to her... You need to Mikey."
He nodded and sat back on the bed, curling up in a ball and shutting his eyes. "I'm just gonna sleep for a bit," he mumbled. I laughed and left him on my bed, going downstairs to find Aoife with some boy I didn't know. I quirked an eyebrow at them, not getting worried. They were only 11, nothing could happen there. I grabbed some food from the fridge and went back upstairs. Gossip Girl and food was in serious need. 

I was on the beside a sleeping Michael, earphones plugged into my laptop, Gossip Girl on the screen, popcorn and chocolate milk on my lap and my perfect boyfriend texting me. This is the life. My phone beeped while I was in the middle of a serious debate with Ashton about whether the English or American accent was better. 
KendraBear: I think I like Michael...
Me: Me too...
KendraBear: Wait you what?!?! BETHANY 
Me: I'm kidding calm down, he told me what happened... He can't stop thinking about you.
KendraBears: It was the best I've ever had, he was so good he deffo knew what he was doing
*sigh*
I groaned at the details and replied. Me: Omg ok didnt need to know that at all... He's gonna talk to you later... i think
KendraBear: Can I come over? Please?:(
I smirked at my screen and typed yes before slamming a pillow on Michael's head. He shot up and narrowed his eyes at me. "What?"
"Kendra is coming over," I said happily. Michael isn't one for moving quickly, he's actually the laziest person I've ever met but in this case he sprinted out of my bedroom before I could blink and ran straight to the bathroom to 'fix himself up'. "Oh and by the way, she knows you can't stop thinking about her," I said hurriedly before running out of the room. I could hear him groan loudly and a loud bang. Note to self: Replace whatever he just broke. After checking up on Aoife and her little man friend I continued my debate with Ashton on why all American accents are better than any English accent. The doorbell rang and I ran to get it before Michael could.
"Kendra!" I exclaimed loudly, pulling her in to a hug. "Come on, let's go to my room!"
"Oh Bethany hon, I'm straight, I mean I appreciate the interest but I'm just not into that sort of thing," she said jokingly. 
"Oh ha ha, come on!" I dragged her up the stairs and into my room to see Michael sitting on my desk chair nervously. 
"Michael... Hi," Kendra said breathlessly. "Bethany I'm going to crucify you later," she growled in my ear. I laughed and shoved her into the room.
"Don't come out until you've sorted it out!" I sat at the door with my laptop, still watching Gossip Girl and texting Ashton. It's a constant thing, talking to Ashton. It seems when I'm with him, I'm never on my phone and when I'm not with him I'm texting him. The debate had moved onto him telling me he was writing a song. Their band was getting bigger without me realising it. It seemed that whenever I wasn't with him he had band practice. They were getting so much better and the fact he was writing a song meant they would eventually have their own EP or album which kind of terrified me. 
The door behind me opened causing me to fall back slightly. I looked up to see a smiling Kendra and giggling Michael. "So um, are you okay?" 
They both nodded but it was Kendra who spoke. "We haven't really sorted it out fully so we're going to go to dinner and talk it out." 
They are so going to be together by 7 o'clock tonight. "Well, have fun!" They left straight after that, waving at me, Michael giving me a kiss on the head and whispering a thank you.

I joined Aoife and the little boy -whose name I discovered to be Ben- in the lounge room to watch Zoey 101, again. Ashton and I ended our conversation as he had to go out with his family -but it was ended until he sent me a selfie of him pouting at the camera. God I love him so much. 
I was kind of bored, Aoife and Ben were sweet but were in their own little bubble half the time. I felt so relaxed and calm, the man with the green eyes out of my head. Until the call.
My phone rang, it was unknown. I ran out of the lounge room and shakily pressed the 'answer' button. "H-hello?"
There was no answer, just heavy breathing. "I'm going to find you," a voice said suddenly and then the line went dead.

Oh shit. 

I really don't like the man with the green eyes and want him out. 

I hope you enjoyed :) Michael and Kendra... Yes???? No???? Leave your opinions on that in the comments :D

I have a question, I've seen a lot of 'Charachter Q&A's' and was wondering if you'd want to do one of them? They look so much fun but I don't know if I'd get enough questions -If any. But if you guys want one, let me know! :D
