Jokes On You!

A Dinner From hell

"You're lies kept pilling and pilling!-", was what rang in my head over and over again. Paris' words. It had been Six days since my argument with Drake and Paris and We still aren't talking. And this is all I can think about. What Paris said. Its not like I wanted to hurt anyone but I did in the process of lieing. I know I have to make it up to all of them. I have to apologize. One way or another...

So it was Sunday Afternoon when my mum peeped her head into my room , " Hey hun.", She says , " Hey.", I reply taking my earphones out of my ears. "So tonight we're going out for dinner at my friend. So get ready.", She explains. " Which friend?", I ask curious. " Oh just an old friend but no time to waste. Get ready. We have an hour ", she says then rushes back down stairs.

"Old friend?", I ask myself. I take a quick shower and slip on a maroon dress and match it with Maroon heels and brushed my hair. When I was ready , I grabbed my cellphone and ran downstairs into the living room. My mum was already dressed. As we were driving  , I was trying to find a way to apologize to Paris.

Shes been ignoring my calls and texts . Well of course she will. Maybe I should sneak out at night and throw stones and her window? She'd probably see me and tell her parents im a burglar. I sigh. A big , sad sigh. "We're here.", My mum announces when our car stops. When I take a look out the passenger seat window , I almost faint. " If I told you who , you would have refused to come.", My mum explains with a chuckle and jumps out the car.

This is Drake's house! " What the fuck?", I say out loud. Thankfully , my Mum has already stepped out of the car. My Mum makes a hand signal to tell me to jump out."Great.", I mutter sarcastically to myself as I grab my phone and Jump out. My confidence deflates when we reach the doorstep. My mum was about to press the doorbell when I interrupted her ," Wait! Give me a second to compose myself.", I say as I smooth my dress down.

"You done?", She asks sounding annoyed. " No.", I stall. " Oh come on!", She says as she presses the doorbell. I curse under my breath when the door swings open and I see Drake's Mum , Agnes. She is really beautiful. Drake looks exactly like her. Except that he has his father's Nose. He has a cute nose. Why the fuck am I thinking about that? Agnes is wearing a red dress and it fits perfectly with her black hair pulled back in a bun."Agnes!", My Mum says as she hugs Aunt Agnes. " Paige, so good to see you.", Agnes says as she pulls me in for a hug.

I put on my fakest smile and say , " Likewise.", -" I didn't think I would see you here...-", Agnes says." Me neither.", I mutter and my mum nudges me in the arm with her elbow. " Ahh , there he is.", Agnes says as he steps into the room. The air immediately gets thick. The moment I've been dreading has now come. Our eyes meet. This ass of a boy is someone I practically love - wait 'love'? What the hell is wrong with me ? He looks really good. He's Dressed in a pair of blue jeans with A white shirt.

"Paige.", Drake says emotionless. What a dick? I didn't even do anything to him. Atleast not this time. " Ass.", I mumble. " Paige!", My mum squeaks and I shrug.

" Shall we?", Drake's mum says as she leads us to the dining table. " It smells good in here. ", My mum compliments as we all take a seat at the table. " Yes thats my scented candles. Its supposed to relieve stress and tension. Lavender.", Agnes explains.

Drake begins to laugh and says ,"I think we need more than candles to relieve tension , Mum." He's just trying to annoy me and he's winning." I think thats amazing , Aunt Agnes.", I say with a small smile. " Thanks dear. Drake has been out of it for the past few days." - "Oh he's been out of it his entire life.", I say looking directly at Drake. My mum suddenly clears her throat. When I break my eyes away from Drake , I see his Dad enter the room.

"Hello Everyone. Hello Marnz.", Henry , Drake's father says. " Oh I haven't heard anyone call me that in years. Normally they just say Marnie.", My mum laughs. We all embrace one another. Then Aunt Agnes brings out dinner to the table. As we eat, my Mum turns to Drake and says , " Drake , you're awfully quiet?". I glare at her. She really doesn't know when to back off.

Drake just shrugs. We sit in silence for awhile until Henry and Agnes talk to my Mum about dessert recipes and some other shit . " So. how's things with Paris?", Drake asks as I look at him from across the table. I look behind me as If there's someone behind me

. I know he's talking to me , I just want to annoy him. He rolls his eyes. I stare at his dumb face for a few seconds then say , " Why do you care?",- " Oh I don't. Just wanted to know if she was dumb enough to except that you lied to her." he says with the most shittiest smile plastered on his face.

" Okayy , who wants dessert?", Agnes changes the subject as she exits the room and goes to the kitchen." Probably Drake , he needs to chill the hell out.", I say. " Chill out? You act like I'm upset for no reason!", Drake says raising his voice abit." Drake , Im not doing this now.", I simply say." There we go again. When do you wanna talk exactly? Next month maybe?", He says sarcastically.

" I don't know but not now!", I say. He's being ridiculous." You act all normal after you lied to Paris , Roxanne and everyone-", Drake says but I cut him off by saying ," Drake , shut up.",-" No! Then when we're sitting on the beach , you pull away when we were inches from making out! Then when we do make out , you ignore me. What the hell? We feel the same way about each other , what's so goddamn hard about saying it?!", He shouts.

When shit couldn't get anymore weird , we were proven wrong. He could have mentioned anything else but he had to mention the ' almost making out ' part. We sit in silence for a few seconds as My Mum stares at her plate." I've said this before , Im sorry! But if you're gonna act like an Asshole about it , why the hell would I even explain anything?!", I shout back." Paige!", my mother exclaims . " I have no idea what is going on between you two and I don't care. But y'all need to sort out you're issue's right now. But not here. Drake , take Paige to your room and don't come back until you'll have sorted out you're problems!!"

Drake's Dad says then gets up and takes the dishes to the kitchen. " Fuck.", I mumble as we walk up the stairs to his room. We both sit down but Drake at his desk and me on his bed. We sit in silence for awhile until I say , " So you had alot to say downstairs.", -" Paige. Can we just talk about one thing that I need to know.", He says calmly. I have a feeling that I know what he's gonna ask. He moves from the desk and sits next to me on his bed.

" I think you already know this but I rather say it. Paige , we've been friends for years , yes. But along the years , I had a crush on you. And you know , I thought it would go away ... I thought it was just a phase. But it wasn't. Thats when I knew it was something more than just a crush.", Drake explains. Is he saying what I think he's saying? " I had feelings for you and I still do. I just wanna know if you feel the same.", He continues.

He's literally pouring he's heart out and telling me how he feels. I have to tell him. I can't wait any longer. I can't hide what I feel. " I did . I mean , I do. I do have feelings for you Drake. What Jessica said... Im just , I'm worried about what people would think if -", he cuts me off -"You have to stop worrying about what others think. And do what you think you should do.", Drake says. Damn , he's so motivational. He opens his mouth to speak again but I cut him off by closing the space between us.

I kiss him and he kisses me back. There it is. That feeling. The fireworks .It feels so right. He feels so right. I wrap my arms around his neck and he puts his hands on my waist. The feel of his hands reminds me of the time we kissed when we were stuck in traffic. I smile into his mouth as he deepens the kiss. We continue to kiss for awhile when Henry knocks on the roomdoor.

" Guys , are you good in there?", -"Yes dad.", Drake calls. We exit the room and go back downstairs. We all sat and talked. When we all were saying our goodbyes , I gave Drake a hug ," Bye Paige.", He said into my hair. " Before I say goodbye.. I need a favour?", I say. He pulls his head back to look at me. " Yea?", He asks confused. I tell him everything and he agrees and we say goodbye. When my mum and I jump back into our car she asks

" How's everything now?"-" Better.", I reply as I stare out of the window. I think about how Drake and I were throwing shade at us and ten minutes later we were kissing in his room. It makes me laugh. Sometimes life is hard. We go through ups and downs. But we all learn from those ups and downs. The trials we face makes us who we are. These are the things that make me , me. The things that make me Paige.
