Girl Meets Boy

Chapter Seventeen - The Suprise Visit

Ali got up to get me a tissue and I wiped my eyes and blew my nose. There was a loud crash and a male voice swearing and then another male laughter followed.

"Who's downstairs?" I asked.

"Erm, Cam and Matt, that reminds me,feel like staying at mine tonight with both of them?"

"Sounds good" smiling at how Ali changed my mood so quickly and texting my mum to say where I was going. I packed what I needed for school tomorrow and some pjs into a jack wills bag and headed downstairs with Allison.

"You took forever!" Exclaims Cam, picking me up and a hug and spinning me, "sorry about Nash, I really thought he liked you, and even if he didn't, that was out of order."

"Thanks Cam." I gave him a toothy grin and raised my eyebrows at Ali as he went over and kissed her on the lips. She looked at me and mouthed that she'd tell me later and I nodded and winked. We all headed out the door to make our way to Ali's house, Ali and Cameron sped of in front, swinging their entwined hands between them, they looked like models and I half expected paparazzi to come running around the corner with cameras. Matt walked beside and after a few minutes of silence he exploded with words.

"I'm so sorry Melia, I didn't know he was lying but I didn't believe him at the same time so I went to check, I didn't realise he'd made it up so bad and I had an argument about it with him after you left but obviously that doesn't make up for it I know but I don't know what else to do, I'm so so sorry Mil." He stared at me wide eyed and looked as though he was preparing himself for a scolding.

"Matt calm down, it's not your fault, I don't mind" I reassured him by bumping my hip into his and then added "and thanks for sticking up for me by the way, even if I weren't there to see it."

He chuckled and repeated what had happened for the rest of the way to Allison's and a little more once we were there to.

We ate pizza and Ali and I reluctantly changed into our pjs; I wore a red checked flannel pj shirt and matching frilly shorts while Ali changed into purple shorts with black dots and a black vest top. We preferred wearing baggy tops and underwear but had to settle with actual pyjamas tonight as it would be a little inappropriate to be so underdressed in front of the boys. We came out and found them both waiting for us in T-shirts and jogging bottoms, we squeezed between them on the sofa and began to watch movies.

The night was so much more fun than I expected, the boys were hilarious, at one point we played hide and seek tag around the house until we were all crying with laughter and too exhausted to continue. After, we all fell into Ali's double bed with me and Allison snuggled together by the wall and the boys sprawled out over the rest of the bed.

***Later***

I woke up drenched in sweat, I could barely breath it was so hot. I needed to move. I was pinned between the wall and Ali's radiator of a body and squirmed until I was free. I carefully tiptoes across the bed and over the three dead-looking bodies and stumbled to the kitchen in the dark. I guzzled a glass of water and was about to go back up to bed when there was a knock at the door. The clock on the wall said it was 3.32am so I assumed I was just hearing things and took a couple more steps when I head the noise again coming from the back door. I cautiously walked over and unlocked the door. I was terrified and my hand shook as I pulled open the door.

The only reason I didn't scream was the hand the was covering my mouth. In front of me was the dark silhouette of a man. I shuddered.

"Mili, calm down, it's just me" Nash's voice whispered from the shadows. I scowled at him through the dark and he removed his hand from it position on my mouth.

"Why are you here?" I half whispered.

"I needed to apologise to you."

"Oh did you now! In the middle of the night?" My temper rising which, consequently, meant my voice was too. He waved him arms around to try an hush me which just irritated me even more. I was about to scream at him never to do that again when he spoke first.

"Come out here and walk with me, let me try to explain, If you don't want to talk to me by tomorrow, I'll never get in your way ever again."

I stared at him for a moment, considering his offer and then I pulled on my converse and followed him into the darkness wearing only my little red pyjamas.
