Why Don't You Love Me?

Chapter 19

I sat up in bed as I coughed and tried to breathe.

"Wakey wakey!" Nicole announced.

I spit the little bit of water that made it into my mouth.

"What in the world Nicole?!" I exclaimed.

I was soaking wet. She laughed at me and put the bucket away. I sighed and got out of her bed. She slept in her older sister's since her sister was at her friend's house having a sleepover themselves.

"At least I won't get in trouble for getting your bed wet." I said as I smiled.

She froze.

"I didn't think about that." She said as her eyes widened a little bit.

I laughed and opened my bag to get my clothes. It was a simple white t-shirt and some jeans. I jogged over to the bathroom and changed. I looked at myself in the mirror and frowned a little bit.

I tucked in the white t-shirt and pull a little bit up so it looked like a small while crop top and rolled up the jeans. At least it looked better than the usual white t-shirt. I came out of the bathroom to see Nicole putting her hair in a high ponytail. 

I grabbed my purse and felt my phone vibrate. I took it out and blushed.

Aaron: "Have a good day princess ❤"

"Aw! That's so sweet!" Nicole said with a smile.

I jumped and almost dropped my phone.

"I need to put a bell on your neck or something." I said.

She shook her head and chuckled.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

I nodded and we left her house after we waved goodbye to her parents.

We got in the car and drove to the mall. We both absolutely hated shopping but we decided to just explore.

Once we got out of the car we jogged inside the big building. One store immediately caught my eye. I grabbed Nicole by the wrist and ran, ignoring her as she yelp. I ran into the store and began to look around.

"Of course." She said as she rolled her eyes smiled. 

"Don't judge me." I said as I grabbed one of the video game's on the shelf. 

"I'm not judging." She said as she put his hands up. 

I studied the case in my hand and looked at the cover. I watched people play this game a lot but I don't think my parents would allow me to play. I put it back and looked around the small Gamestop store. 

I grabbed the game that I have been wanting to play for years. I wanted it so bad still. I sighed and put it back as and stood up. Again, my parent's wouldn't let me play it. I sighed and put it back.

"Oh, hey." I heard a familiar voice say.

I quickly turned around and saw Alan standing there with a red hoodie. My favorite color! I stood up straight and smiled.

"Hey Al!" I said.

He looked at me and gave me a small smile. I felt a pinch in my chest but I ignored it.

'You love Aaron, Angle.' I thought to myself. 

"How are you doing?" I asked him. 

"I'm doing alright I guess. Elizabeth was looking at some stuff at Victoria's Secret and I did not want to go in so I told her that I was going to come here." He said as he scratched the back of his neck and blushed a little bit.
