falling for adelaide; rvd

chapter twelve

i allowed ruel to spend the night at my house, alone. this pissed harper off extremely. i just remember going back over to cameron's and hearing the two argue upstairs about me and how hanging out with another girl was "unacceptable".

i get jealousy. i understand it, we've all been through it. however, it gets annoying when you're unable to even hang out with a close friend. you feel as if the friendship should just dust away because what's the point?

i sat in the living room of my house, watching reruns of shameless. that was until a rather loud knock banged against the front door. i sat my chips aside and walked quickly to the sound. once i looked into the peephole, i regretted unlocking the door.

i fake smiled, "hi harper," she started to walk in angrily, her feet stomping against the tile, "would you like to come in?" i mumbled to myself, closing the door with a scoff.

"we need to talk," she said. i felt as if i were in the middle something i never meant to be in the middle
of. i quickly assumed ruel had broken up with her but soon enough, i was proven wrong, "i don't trust you."

i nodded slowly and furrowed my brows, "why?"

"ruel told me about you and him sleeping together," she pursed her lips and crossed her arms, "so, who knows what you'd pull behind my back."

i shook my head, "we slept in the same bed. that was it," i exhaled deeply and sat down in the chair next to her, "and i would never intentionally ruin your relationship. plus, this was months ago."

"i met a guy once and we talked for a few hours and then after that i never saw him again. until a few months later and we picked up right where we left off, making out," she stated.

"well, that's you."

"listen, i can't have you and ruel hang out anymore. i don't know what you're gonna do-" she started.

"i'm not going to do anything!" i interrupted, annoyed from the fact that she thinks i go around with anybody despite the fact that they have a person already.

"i don't know that," she licked her bottom lip while putting the weight of her hair onto one shoulder, "you're a dancer, right?" she raised one eyebrow, still crossing her arms.

i sighed, "yeah, why?"

she leaned into my ear, her finger grazing against the bottom of my chin, "if i see you with him again, there's going to be consequences," she whispered and with that, she angrily grumbled her way out the door, slamming it shut.

-

"if i see you with him again, there's going to be consequences," i repeated to cameron over the phone so she knew what was going on. i wasn't scared of harper since the girl seemed so innocent. yes, she might be a jealous girlfriend but people like that never have an original way of revenge, "oh and before she said that she asked if i was a dancer."

cameron chuckled, "what, is she gonna like, engrave her signature on the bottom of your pointe shoes?"

i couldn't help but laugh, "she doesn't scare me. it was creepy though the way she leaned into my ear," i shivered to myself remembering the event.

"maybe she's secretly gay for you."

"if all lesbians acted the way she does, i don't think i could ever go gay," i shook my head though cameron wouldn't see it, "is she out with ruel or is he actually alone today?"

"alone, surprisingly," she yawned and smacked her lips a few times, "i think i'm gonna take a nap. if you want to come inside to hang out with ruel, you're welcome to, okay?"

"okay," i responded. the phone call ended as i started to get my things together so i could head over to cameron's. harper had been out doing things for the past few days which was nice since i was able to hang out with ruel without her freaking out. i wasn't afraid of getting caught with him by her, i just didn't want to to be on her bad side even more.

i knocked a few times on ruel's doorway to get his attention since he was faced away. he turned around and with a huge toothy grin on his face, he held his arms out. i shook my head, "sorry, i have limitations when it comes to you now."

"what?" he furrowed his brows and turned his body all the way to me.

"your girlfriend said i couldn't hang out with you anymore," i bit the inside of my cheek and intertwined my hands together, "you should seriously think about splitting with her. i hate, hate, hate telling people how to live their life but i seriously think this would do you justice."

he nodded his head, agreeing, "i know but, i cant. i tried to a few days ago but she threatened me. she said she would do something really bad and that breaking up with her would be the worst decision in my life. so, i couldn't."

i scoffed, "do you realize what she's doing? she's threatening our lives. she said to me there would be consequences if hung out with you and now she's keeping you hostage pretty much. we need to call the police or something."

"what're they gonna do? just because we tell them a girl has been threatening us, you think they're going to arrest her?" he inquired. the conversation seemed to escalate and it was getting no where.

i shrugged, "maybe?"

"i'm not calling the cops on my girlfriend," he told me, slightly raising his voice.

the door to his room moved a bit and we both looked back. not only did my heart beat out of my chest because of the fact that harper caught me with ruel but also because of the fact that she heard us talk about calling the cops on her, "well, i hope you wouldn't."
