500 days of summer. Wait isn't that like a chick flick! ?
"What! Isn't that a girly film!"
He looked hurt, I went to apologise and he started laughing.
"I was joking! How does Finding Nemo sound?"
He winked, he knew Finding Nemo was one of my favourites.
"Wait! You bought the hobbit the other day!"
"Ah yeah! I'll go grab it, don't eat all the popcorn! "
I checked my phone just as the movie started.*3 NEW MESSAGES*
MUM- Jesse told you about our dinner plans? Please don't be mad, hope you had a good night. Love you darling! xxx
GEMMA-London shopping spree Monday! You and Jesse up for it? ;) x
ANT-Mums fine with it, have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't! ;) x
Brothers aye!?
We watched the whole of the film, I ended up throwing popcorn at Jesse for half of the time. Its a long film and the face he makes when he concerntrates is hilarious!
"Right, go grab your stuff and I'll walk you home."
It took about 10 minutes to get home.
"Thanks dude!"
I hugged Jesse, he had kept my mind off the whole drama for most of today.
"Anytime, well not the crying bit!"
He winked and ruffled my hair.
"Remember what I told you!"
I nodded and headed inside, ready for the confrontation.
"Hi love. How was your night?" She smiled at me in the mirror.
"Fine."
"What did you get up to?"
She asked looking at me seriously. Why was she always so suspicious?
"Not much."
I sounded rude but mum wasn't exactly in my good books! I remembered what Jesse said though and just headed upstairs to get changed. I put some jeans on and threw a hoodie over the top I was already wearing. I headed back downstairs and sat on the sofa flicking through the music channels.
"Kids go get in the car!"
Me and Ant both went into the garage and sat in the car waiting. I sat in the back alone, headphones in and music turned up.
"Ella?"
I took one headphone out.
"Huh?"
"I know you're upset but just listen to her yeah?"
"Okay."
I put the headphone back in just as mum got in the car.
We arrived at McDonald's about 10minutes later. Nothing like a family trip to Maccas!
"Kids I know your upset but this is a big opportunity for me and I have to take it!"
Mum had been pretty silent until then. Me and Ant had been making small talk about my night (again, nosy family!) and Ant's rugby match.
"I'm sorry, I over reacted and acted like a baby. I shouldn't have run away, I should have listened."
She didn't say anything, she just smiled and carried on eating.
"Hey Jesse, call me when you get this!"
I'd tried calling him all evening but he wasn't picking up. At about half 10 my phone rang. I sprang off the bed and grabbed it answering the call.
"Hello"
"Hi Ella what do you need?"
He didn't sound too interested.
"I just wanted to talk, I listened to your advice and I guess I'm okay with mum now!"
"Wait what? Advice? Sorry Ella can we speak tomorrow or something?"
I could hear voices in the background and Jesse whispering away from the phone.
" Sure. Whatever."
"Bye."
He hung up. What had gotten into him. The time I needed friends support the most and he didn't want to speak. It hurt. I crawled into bed still in my clothes and fell asleep.
I woke up about 2hours later. My phone was vibrating on the table at the end of my bed. I dragged myself over to it and picked up my phone, missing the call. I called the voicemail number and listened to the 3 messages I had.
"El its me. I'm sorry about earlier I know I should have listened."
"Me again. El I can't sleep, I feel like a rubbish mate. I'm sorry, meet up tomorrow to talk?"
I went to put my phone down next to my pillow when the third message started playing. I rested my head next to my phone and listened.
"I guess you're asleep or something. Sweet dreams, I love you."
As the message finished I felt a wave of drowsiness wash over me.
"I love you too."
"Ella I'm off to work, see you later."
"Bye mum!" I shouted.
Ant was going to rugby so I text Jesse.
JESSE BEAR IS THE BEST (yes he wrote his own name!) :
'Come round, no ones in so we can watch a film or something?'
A few minutes later I got a reply.
'Be there in five.'
I sat by the window and listened to my iPod. I saw Jesse cycling up the road, stopping on our front garden. He put his bike down and knocked, walking in before I had a chance to answer the door.
I went to say hi but he just pulled me into a tight hug.
"Sorry."
"Forget it."
The way Jesse had been acting had really upset me but I didn't need an argument now. Or a soppy making up conversation. I just wanted to know about his plan.
"About last night.."
"Seriously, forget it Jesse."
"No. I want to explain why I was such an idiot. I kinda need your opinion on something as well.."
"Right.. Go on?"
"Well there's this girl I like and I need to know if she likes me too."
