It's a geek life (Aston Merrygold fanfic)

Part 7

What was I going to do? I couldn't take it if my suspicions were right and I got my best friends involved in something we couldn't handle. I felt pressurised though. But they're supporting you right? They're just as excited as you. Me excited? You know you are. I sighed. What the hell was I doing? I wasn't the kind of person to give into peer pressure. I was my own person and I didn't have to follow the crowd if I didn't want to. And that is exactly what I was doing now. What was happening to me? Aston and you know it. Your falling for him. You what? I've only just met him for goodness sake. Nothing made sense whatsoever. But that's what happens when your in love. Nothing makes sense but it falls perfectly into place. Your a hopeless romantic so you should know all about that. Yes OK OK I admit it. I'm a hopeless romantic. But I won't admit I love Aston if it's a lie. But is it though? Maybe it's the truth.

This is what happens when you spend most of your time thinking. You battle with yourself just like I was doing right there. Did I? Or did I not? Was I lying to myself or not? I don't know. But I guess only time will tell like they say. Ah well. I've said I'd do something now and I never go back on my word. So that night I texted Aston to see where he'd like to meet.

I'm home now so we can talk haha. So where would you like to meet up and when? Danielle x

Oh that's good. Glad we can now. :) Er not sure. I don't mind. Where ever you and your friends would like to go. Aston x

Was I beginning to see how sweet he was being by letting me choose? No of course I wasn't. Your lying to yourself... AGAIN. Oh just up please. Any advice on how to get your brain to stop talking to you?

Thanks. :) Erm can we go to the shopping centre when I have a half day at school? Danielle x

Yeah sounds great to me! What days are those exactly? Aston x

Tuesday and Wednesday. Danielle x

OK then. How about next Tuesday? Aston x

Yeah sure OK then. :) Tuesday it is then. We'll meet you at the  bus station at about half 1. Danielle x

Yep okie dokie then. Can't wait! See you then. :) Aston x

Can't wait either. :) See you then. :) Danielle x

That was it. All sorted. At least it's done I suppose. See wasn't so hard was it? You should listen to yourself more often. I didn't listen to you. I listened to my friends like I always do. I trust them more then my brain.

So that was it. I was going to meet Aston with my friends in case I was right about him being a paedophile. In a way I hope I'm wrong. I hate seeing the worst in people. I always want to look for the best in them. So why did you think that then? Because I had to. I had no choice at the time. Or did I? No. I have to look after my own safety just in case.

I can't go back now. It's all done. Just will have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully I won't doubt myself too much in the next week. One problem. What do I tell Mum? Tell her I'm going with my friends and if it all goes right tell her the truth. Then she has nothing to worry about right? Yeah that's right. Maybe I was trying to let my barriers down a little. Who knows. Maybe I will if I was wrong on the day.
