Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 18

"Millie!"

Tears threaten to spill, I can only think the worst. He has moved on, he doesn't want me anymore. The girl moves out the way as the tall blonde appears in the door way, a small smile on his lips. I look up at him and his smile faded he goes to say something but I hold my hand up to stop him, I don't want to hear anything.

"It's nice to see you Simon," and with that I turn and walk away towards my room, I don't hear footsteps behind me so it's clear he hasn't followed me.

I get into my room and slam the door behind me, it's not like anyone would hear it over the music. Of course this would happen, why didn't I try to stay in touch with him more, I could've called him or FaceTimed him.

Wait. He should've called me, FaceTimed me, texted me since I was trying to sell an apartment and move a whole bunch of furniture to another city by my self. He didn't bother to text me back or to give me a call so fuck him.

I am so angry I don't think I can go back down and pretend to everyone that I'm alright, instead I lock my bedroom door and sit at my desk. I put my headphones on and begin to play music, drowning out the awful music and shouting from downstairs, the outside world gets drowned out and I couldn't be happier.

My head is a mess, my heart won't stop pounding out my chest and my brain won't stop thinking of all the possibilities that could've happened with Simon and I but I decide to play a game to distract my self, Dead by Daylight will do.

-

"No. No! Don't hook me you bastard!" I scream at the game as the killer picks me up onto his shoulder and carries me towards a hook, "not this time," I desperately try to wiggle out but I'm too late as he puts me on the hook my character dies. I throw my controller down and take my headphones off, getting a fright when I hear the music forgetting that there's a party downstairs. I close the game and check the time, it's 02:35 in the morning why am I even still awake?

I pick my phone up and see a number of text messages from Jide,

From Jide
01:20 - Millie where did you go?
01:45 -Amelia where are you? Your car is still here so I know you're here somewhere.
02:00 - Harry tried to see if you're okay, he said your door was locked. Please come out.
02:30 - c'mon Millie :(

Maybe I should go downstairs, I stand up and throw a hoodie on for once it isn't a sidemen one. I unlock the door and lowly open it, it's quieter but there's still a party going on. I look across to Simons room and the door is open, meaning he is downstairs somewhere. Great.

I walk downstairs and see the boys minus Simon Harry and Josh, I catch eyes with Jide and he looks unhappy with me. I walk over to them and smile awkwardly but say nothing, they are all clearly drunk as Ethan can hardly stand up and Vikk won't stop giggling at whatever Tobi is talking about.

"Where did you go?" Jide says, quiet enough so only I can hear. I sigh and look to the ground trying to avoid contact, "I was in my room. I didn't feel like partying I'm sorry," he nudged me in the shoulder and I look up at him, he flicks his head in the direction of the stairs telling me to look over there, which I do.

It's the girl who was in Simons room walking down the stairs, she does not look happy. soon Simon follows her and she turns to face him, she shouts something that I didn't quite catch and she walks out slamming the door behind her.

I look at Simon as he stands there, he looks defeated, I just want to wrap my arms around him and tell him that everything's alright but I simply can't. He turns round and locks eyes with me, I try to look away but I am frozen in his stare, he looks down to the ground before running upstairs and to his room.

"What the fuck was that?" Tobi looks round the group but everyone stares at each other with blank faces, having no clue what just happened.

"Maybe you should go check on him?" Ethan says, I look at him and frown a little but as usual as I go to say something someone cuts me off, I really need to get better at this talking thing.

"I think that's a good idea, you guys need a chat." Jide looks down at me a serious look on his face, I guess I should go check on him so I nod and make my way upstairs. I reach his door but I hesitate knocking, if im honest im scared to hear what he has to say. it was obvious that he was seeing her, why else would she be in his room but I know that I don't want to hear anything from him.

I knock. a minute or so goes by and I knock again, I hear footsteps coming towards the door. it swings open and I look up to see Simon, he's pale and his usual bright eyes are dull and sad. without thinking I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him to me, he wraps his arms around my shoulders and we just stand there in each others arms, enjoying it.

I admit I missed Simon, I still am upset that he never texted me but I now understand why and im not angry for him for seeing someone else. "Millie im so sorry," he mumbles into my neck, nuzzling his head further in my hair.

"Listen Simon its alright, I understand we weren't a thing and you had every right to see someone else," I sigh slightly at hearing those words come from my mouth, I didn't want to believe that he was seeing someone else but I cant be angry as he isn't mine. he pulls away slightly and smiles weakly, "Thank you for understanding, her names Emily."
