Abigail's P.O.V

I propped my elbows in front of my computer on my bed doing homework whilst listening to One Direction Act my age, my head bobbing up and down with the music, beats, and lyrics. 

When I'm fat and old and my kids think I'm a joke

'Cause the stories that I told, I tell again and again

I can count on you, after all, we got up to

'Cause I know that you truly understand

I sang, my voice soft and quiet. Singing throughout the whole song I caught sight of Bailey with his phone taking video footage of me. My mouth agape at him, while he was smiling shock and awe hidden in his eyes. "Sing again! Sing again!", he chirped, jumping up and down destroying the footage. "Bailey! No, get out!", I whined, grabbing my book and hiding my face with it. He huffed and walked off, I put the book down and peeked at my door to see if he was hiding but they were no sign of him. I sighed and sang again, this time my favorite song... What makes you beautiful 

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else, the way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed the way you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell... You don't know, oh-oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful! If you only you could see what I can see, you'll understand why I want you so desperately, you don't know, oh-oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful!", I stopped the music for a moment and heard quiet squeals from under my bed. I rolled my eyes in frustration and pulled the covers up to reveal Bailey's bright-colored socks. "Bailey! Stop, it!", I whined angrily once again, I hate it when people trying to take videos of me singing. "What? It's not my fault your voice is beautiful and catches other people's attention!", he said, getting up from under the bed. 

I sat up, glaring at him. He whimpered and gave me his phone, he hesitated for a bit. Looking at me with his attempted puppy dog eyes, it never worked honestly. His phone was just a meter away from my hand, I tried to grab it but Bailey's reflexes were faster than mine as he ran out of the room screaming. "Bailey! I swear if you don't give me your phone...", I trailed off running after him downstairs, he went into the kitchen shielding himself using dad, making him get startled by Bailey's hands going on his shoulders. "Hey, what's going on here?", asked dad, looking back and forth at Bailey and I. "Uh, well-", said Bailey, but before he could finish I interrupted him. "I was singing and he sneaked under my bed to record me singing! Dad, tell him it's not necessary!", I whined, stomping my foot on the ground. He shrugged his shoulders and looked up at Bailey who still had his hands on shoulders. "I don't know! But you should at least let him get away with this one, Ab! Just this once!", said dad, covering the corners of his mouth with his hands and whispering the last three words of his sentence, giving me a wink.

 Groaning in frustration I stomped my way back into my room and slammed the door shut. Jumping onto my bed making my papers and stuff bounce, some of it bouncing off my bed, causing me to angrily pick them up and get back onto my bed once again. 

Sometimes Bailey can get a little annoying, he can sometimes push a little of my buttons and get me mad. Just I realize this... 

Damnit! 

I'm on my period!

I rushed to the bathroom searching for my pads, no wonder why this morning I was a little moody than usual and feeling something soggy in my underwear, also feeling pain on my abdomen. Opening the bottom drawer I found my pads safely hidden, not that I want dad to find out but sometimes he brings his workmates over and I don't want them to find these pads. It's embarrassing. After doing that, I went back into my room my cramps just slowly fading away. I carefully sat down on my bed, aware of it leaking. I took a deep breath and continued with my work. 

Not until the door opened slightly and chocolate bars were thrown in, my face instantly lights up and rushing over to it, opening it and munching down on it. "Ugh! Thank you!", I said, raising the chocolate bars as the monkey did in The Lion King. I heard a chuckle on the other side of the door and footsteps retreating downstairs. 

It's been hours since I finished my homework and I was reading Girl Online one of my favorites. Suddenly the kiss from the other day came flooding back in my mind, the way our tongues mingled and moved in sync together causing my heart to flutter, making me have butterflies in my stomach. I closed the book and placed it next to me, hugging my knees to my chest as my heartbeat fastened. A blush crept onto my cheeks making the back of my neck warm. The way his amazing, mesmerizing brown eyes graze my soul, taking my breath away. The way he says my name making me weak in the knees. Everything about him just makes me realize... 

I'm in love with him...

No, it can't be!

"Yes, it can be!", said Bailey, clicking me back to reality. I didn't even remark back because it was maybe true, but or is it? "Whatever you're thinking in your head... All of it is true! You like him, he likes you!", said Bailey, grabbing one of my chocolate bars and taking a bite. I glared at him but didn't do anything. "You know, I sometimes wonder how you always read my mind or know what I'm thinking about!", I said, causing him to laugh. Shaking his head in disapproval. "Abigail, it's called having an instinct or maybe actually paying attention to what people are doing!", he said, I was confused for a moment. He looked at me and chuckled, waving his hand, dismissing what he said. "Okay, I don't know what I'm saying!", he said, making me giggle. I never thought I could have a friend like Bailey. 

"I don't like him anymore!", he mumbled, nodding my head knowing who he's talking about, I looked at him in the eyes and saw the heartbreak and sadness in them, making me confused. "Why? What's wrong?", I asked, sincerity in my eyes. "It's just... I don't know! I've always dreamt of us being together, dreamt of ever being his... Do you know? But I just kinda lost hope, I guess! It's not a big deal!", said Bailey, looking up at me ever since the words came out of his mouth. "He likes somebody else, doesn't he?", I asked, grabbing his hand and intertwining it with mine. He nodded, tears visible in his eyes. "I thought that... Maybe this time I can move on from my previous harsh breakup with John... I guess I'm wrong!", he said, his bottom lip quivering. 

"Come here!", I said, placing his head on the crook of my neck not caring about the tears that found their way onto my shoulder. "Thank you, for being here for me Abby!", he whispered. I didn't need to say anything, all I did was let the silence consume us, letting all the words left unsaid. Sometimes, silence helps. That's why we have mouths to open and close, an ability to talk. We can let silence consume us by closing our mouths, or never let it. 

You choose what you want. 

My mother's words taking over my head, a feeling in my heart suddenly making it ache for a second. But I know she's watching us right now, a smile on her face. A smile crept on my face, thinking about her smiling at me in this very room right now. I exhaled a breath and my grip around Bailey loosened a bit and tightened again. 

I miss mom...
