Big Decisions- a Danisnotonfire / Dan Howell Fanfic (Sequel to I Chose You)

Chapter 39:

Lia had been gone for over a week now. She said that her mother had been round the Harries house for the majority of the week, even using the guest bedroom at times.

That's when the next step to her plan was.

She told me that one night, when her mother was staying over, her and Jack pretended to have a fight. The 'sending Helen to prison' was a backup, if our original plan didn't work.

Lia POV

"Are you kidding me, Jack? You were kissing another girl! I thought you cared about me?" I screamed at my fake boyfriend, "How can I be okay with that!?"

"It was a one time thing, babe. I swear." Jack smirked, letting a whine slip through his throat. "I thought she was you!"

"You were on a boys night out with your other mates! I was here, waiting for you to get back!"

Jack was quiet for a moment, eyes wide as he riddled through his thoughts to find a good comeback. He shrugged and mouthed to me for help. I sighed.

"Maybe it wasn't a good idea for...for us to happen afterall."

Jack's eyes brightened, before giving me a thumbs up. "Is it because you're still in love with your ex?"

"Of course I still love him! But that doesn't change the fact that he went behind my back and started using drugs! If you did the same I'd leave you too!"

We both jumped as we heard a knock on the door. Rebecca's worried face peeked from behind the door.

"Is everything alright? It's midnight and Emmy is trying to sleep."

I bit my lip, looking behind Rebecca to see a curious looking Helen at the guest bedroom door, which was only next door.

"I'm sorry, we're just...having some issues."

Rebecca sent a glare to her son. "I heard." She then turned to me. "If you want, I can make the couch up for you? Helen is using the guest bedroom."

I shook my head. "I'll be fine."

When Rebecca shut the door, me and Jack gave each other a small high five. He leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"Do you think I should pretend to hit you?"

My mouth fell open. "Jack, no. I know you're my best friend but best friend's don't take the blame for something like that." I pulled him into a hug. "But you're so cute for offering."

Jack chuckled. "Okay, let's pretend to fuck like last time she was here."

I silently giggled as I remembered something that was similar to Easy A in Jack's room the other night. We heard the bed make an awful noise, so that was when we stopped and pretended it was the end of the frickle frackle.

Jack put a movie on, while I crept into bed next to him and pulled out my phone to text Dan.

I miss you <3 The only D you'll be getting xxx

I think you would have found it hilarious to see me and Jack pretending to have sex, babe. It was like we were 4 years old xxx

Ugh, I hate this :( xx

I love you :) xxx

Talking to Phil made me really regret doing this, I mean what if you end up falling for Jack? I'm basically making you do this cause I'm too cowardly to handle your mother :( xxx

I didn't know what to reply. My relationship with Dan was pretty damn secure but all I could think about was losing feelings for him. We spent so much time together that sleeping next to a different guy was freaking me out.

I need Dan right now. Text wasn't enough.

The next morning was awkward. Mom wasn't the only person to hear the argument and it appeared that the entire household was aware of Jack and I's failing relationship. Rebecca kept me and Jack behind as Helen took Emmy to school as Rebecca wanted a private word with us. I was shitting myself.

Rebecca folded her arms before looking at me sadly, "I think you're both aware what I want to talk to you about, right?"

Jack shoved his hands in his pockets, embarrassed. "sorry, Mum."

Rebecca threw her hands up in frustration. "I don't get it! You two get along so well as friends. I heard you both last night- Jack I'm so disappointed in you."

Jack's expression saddened as I tried not to blurt out the truth. But I couldn't do that to Jack- let him take so much crap for my sake.

"Rebecca it's not what-"

Jack kicked me, sending me a harsh glare. "Lia."

"She has to know."

Rebecca looked at us, confused. I took a deep breath.

"Helen is my mother."
