11: Pepperoni

I laughed. I wish I could stay but I know I would be a huge burden to her family. Besides Ian and her one month old sister Daisy is enough to keep the whole family busy. "No I love how my home is close to all the fast food places".

"Or you like staying with the oh-so-sexy Leo Arsen", she said in a sultry voice.

"Hailey!", I chided her, throwing a cushion a her.

To: George

What did Jay-Z call his girlfriend before they got married?

I sent this text to George ages ago. He usually replies to it immediately but today he wasn't replying. The answer isn't hard to guess either.  Something's definitely happened to him. He never ignores lame jokes.

I decided to handle this later after seeing the mess in front of me. "What the hell happened here?" My living room was a mess, red plastic cups were scattered all over the place. The place reeked of alcohol and sweat.

"Chill I am gonna clean it up. The boys and I played beer pong last night", Leo brushed it off as he picked up the plastic cups. His messy hair and the fact that he was only clad in his boxers told me he just woke up. Every time he would get down to pick up a cup the muscles on his back would flex and I was trying not to ogle at this Greek god. Focus Emma, Focus.

"I want this place pristine in ten minutes or else I am calling mom".

"Yes mom. By the way try talking with your eyes here next time", he said sardonically, pointing at his face.

I blushed, grunting I dashed of my room. That asshole knows how to rile me up.

....................

My phone was ringing at 9pm at night. I was about to fall asleep then the Queens decided to wake me up.

Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

"Fuck you!" I cried out groggily waking up to pick up my phone.

"Emma...", he rasped.

"George? What happened? You alright?" George finally decided to call me back and it was quite late.

"No... I am kind of stuck somewhere and I am not feeling well", his voice was shaky.

I immediately got off from my bed, turning on the lights of the bedside table."Where are you?"

"At school, locked in the basement janitor's closet".

"WHAT? I am on my way but how did you end  up there?"

"Long story just please help me get out of here! It's kind of dark and cramped up here and my phone battery is about to die".

"Okay I am coming as fast I can".

Hanging up I rushed to Leo who was sleeping in the sofa. I nudged him.

"What?" He replied groggily.

"I need you to take me to school right now! Your bike would be faster than my car".

"What for?" Rubbing his eyes he stood up.

"George is trapped inside the janitor's closet. We gotta get him out of there".

Few minutes later we were on Leo's bike on our way to school. I was still clad in my pyjamas and oversized T shirt. Leo decided to wear his jean and T shirt as he was only wearing his boxers then. I was trying my best to keep my calm and trying not to panic.

We immediately got off the bike rushed to school.

"How do we get in?" I asked Leo clueless about what to do next.

"Don't ask me how but I have the school keys and I grabbed it on my way here", he said producing a bunch of keys.

"I could literally kiss you! Thanks" I cried out. 

"Save that for later", he replied while he expertly opened the lock.

I immediately rushed in. The janitor's closet at the basement is usually where people keep all the sports equipment. No one really goes there unless they need to fetch a spare sports' ball or any kind of gym equipment.

The place was dark but the streetlights from the outside was enough for us to find our way to the basement.

"It's locked", I whispered.

"Wait", he produced another key from the bunch.

Opening it, I was met with the sound of someone breathing. It was definitely George. "George, you alright?"

"Yeah but please get me out of here", looking for the light switch was useless so I used my phone's flash light to look for the door.

"George!" I immediately rushed to him, wrapping my arms around him, beyond relieved to find my best friend safe.  He looked flustered, he was drenched with sweat but I didn't care. I hugged him right, trying not to cry. George was claustrophobic, and he exactly wasn't a fan of dark places either as he always sleeps with his bedside lamp on.

"Who did this to you?" I asked still not letting him go. I could feel his heartbeat calm down. But he was still quite traumatized. 

"Jules".
