The New Girl

"Chapter 10"

Angelina's POV:

I help my mom bring in Rachel's things, the hospital released her this morning since she got her energy back. They did give her crap ton of medicine to take so her recovery is speedy. I set my moms stuff in her room then head to Rachel's and smile softly sitting on her bed.
"Don't give me those pitiful eyes" she says throwing her pillow at me, I giggle and catch the pillow then place it on my lap.
"How are you feeling?" I ask her
"Oh you know still like crap but much better, did you thank Daniel for me?" She says with a smirk, I roll my eyes and smile
"No I didn't talk to him" I lie, she looks at her phone and smiles softly texting someone back. I wanted to ask who it was but was afraid I already knew, I don't know how to mention to her that I know she's been in contact with our dad. I didn't even know how to feel about it still, I mean why didn't she tell me? Did she not trust me? I thought we always told each other everything! I was confused, angry and...jealous, why didn't he reach out to me? Why did he ignore me and why didn't I get messages! I run my hand through my hair
"You ok? Your whole body language changed" Rachel asks me, I look at her and force a smile on my face
"Yeah yeah, you just scared the shit out of me you know...don't do that again" I say. She smiles and lays her head on the pillow on my lap, I smile down at her and run my fingers through her hair just trying to ignore all of my thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I didn't plan to get pneumonia" she says looking at me, I smile and then look at her wall. We sat like that for what seem like ages but it was only a hour, I enjoyed our moments like this. We didn't have to talk much, all we needed was to just be in the same room and exist...I even forgot about my feelings until her phone rang and I saw the name. That same name I saw when I read her text, she sits up and looks at her phone then at me
"Hey do you mind it's my friend Stacy from Florida she's going through a break up" she lies, she didn't even have a friend named Stacy, I remember all her friends name and I don't recall a Stacy from Florida.
"Yeah no biggie, I am heading to Anna's house anyways." I say standing up, she smiles at me and answers the phone. I walk out of her room and close her door, I didn't think to listen in because if I did I would blow a fuse. I walk down the stairs and head to my moms office, she was sorting stuff out from the days she missed work
"I'm heading to Anna's I'll be back later don't expect me for dinner" I say, I start to walk out but I hear her call my name. I turn around and look at her, I tried to hide my emotions but it's always hard to do that with my mom
"I hardly see you anymore, maybe you come home early and we all have a movie night" she says with a smile, I honestly didn't want to be near Rachel but I knew this meant a lot to my mom. I nod my head and walk out the door.

"And she lied straight to my face! Like how the fuck could she do that!" I say pacing Anna's room. I have never opened up about my dad but for some reason I was comfortable talking to Anna, expressing what I was feeling. Telling all about my last relationship and then I stopped pacing and looked at her
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that was out of line of me" I say, I don't want to be comfortable with her, because if I am that means I'm attached and if I'm attached then that means it'll be harder for me to leave when my mom gets that call that she is needed somewhere else.
"What Angelina, no it's ok! You don't need to apologize to me for opening up to me, that means we are becoming closer" she says with a smile, I look at her then at my hands and say softly
"That's what's terrifying" she sighs and stands up and just hugs me. I didn't know I needed a hug until she did, and when I did I didn't want to let go.
"I know you think you don't deserve friendship or any relationship of any kind but you do! I don't care if you have to leave tomorrow becoming your friend has been the best thing to ever happen to me" she says softly, I start to tear up and just keep hugging her, I have never had a friend like Anna and even if it has been a couple of weeks it felt like I have knew Anna for a lifetime. I pull away and wipe my tears and smile softly
"Thank you...thank you so much" I say, she smiles and wipes the rest of my tears away and says
"Of course, now let's go downstairs and watch a scary movie!" I smile and head out with her, I stop before we go down the stairs and say
"Sorry let me go to the bathroom you pick out the movie" she nods her head and keeps walking down the stairs. I walk out of the bathroom and see Daniel walking to his room, he smiles that stupid smile at me and I sigh
"Ouch nice to see you too newbie" he says smirking at me, I don't say anything and walk pass him.
"So that's how it is huh?" I turn around and he's leaning against the wall smirking. I hate that my immediate thought was he looks fucking sexy but I keep a straight face and say
"Sorry I didn't even notice you there" he places his hand over his heart and gasp
"You hurt me newbie" I try my hardest not to smile,
"Good might drop your ego" I say turning around and walking away
"You can't resist me forever newbie" I hear him say, I just knew he was smiling to himself what an idiot. At least he's back to his self centered ways again, which means it's easier for me to ignore him and focus on myself and my friendship with Anna. I walk down the stairs and eat some popcorn while she starts the movie, she picked The Conjuring which was one of my favorites. 30 minutes in I hear Daniel walk downstairs but I hear someone else, I look over when they walk into the kitchen and then back at Anna and whisper
"There was someone else here this whole time?" Anna looks in the kitchen and see this girl sitting on the counter and Daniel in between her legs whispering something to her, she rolls her eyes and whispers back to me
"Yeah, he's like in a hoe phase now that him and Franny are done, it's kind of annoying because I hear him fuck a new girl every night" she looks back at the tv and all I felt was complete disgust! I mean first he tries to kiss me, then flirts with me while some other girl was probably in his room! I roll my eyes and just watch the movie. Thank god he finds new ways to make me dislike him even more.
