the new girl m.p.

39

At 3pm we all went home and I went over to Averys. She was in the living room talking to Mariano when I walked in.

"My baby!" She ran up to me and hugged me as tight as she could. I get the same reaction every time I see her.

"Are you feeling any better?" She shook her head no then started going up the stairs.

"I still feel like shit but my day got better now that you're here. I just wanna nap again." She went on her side of the bed and waited for me to get in.

"Same I'm so tired." I walked close to her bed and took my phone out of my pocket to put it on her bedside table. When I did that, the paper fell out of my pocket. Fuck me.

"What is that?" She bent over the bed and tried to grab it but I quickly got it before she got to reach it.

"What is it?" She questioned again. What do I say to her?

"Mattia, what it is? You clearly don't want me to see so it must be bad." She got up and walked closer to me. I tried to rip it up but she took it from my hand and opened it.

"Oh? Who's number is this?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh come on! Is it a girls number?" I slowly nodded my head.

"Look babe she was flirting with me and I only took it because I wanted her to shut up! I was going to throw it out."

"But you didn't. Clearly you had no intentions on throwing out if it was still in your pocket." She walked over to her phone. It looked like she was typing in the number.

"What are you doing babe?" She signaled for me be quiet when she put the phone on speaker.

"Baby I don't even know this girl! I'm telling the truth she was flirting with me and made me uncomfortable, ask Kairi!"

"Hello?" A familiar female voice came from her phone and I could see her get mad.

"Hi this is Mattias girlfriend I just wanted to know why the fuck he had your number in his pocket?"

"Oh my god he had a girlfriend? I'm so sorry!"

"Has not had."

"Oh well I'm sorry but don't get mad at me. Hes the one who kept it so just tone it down baby girl." Her eyes were popping out and I could tell she was about to go off on this poor girl.

I quickly grabbed the phone from her.

"Block this number." I hung up and looked at Avery. I waited for her to do something. Her breathing was, still stuffy, but back to normal.

"Why did you keep it?" Her voice cracked a little while she took a seat on the corner of her bed.

"I..I don't know. I meant to throw it out I swear." I could feel my eyes water too. The last thing I wanna do is "take a break" I remember what happened last time. It didn't even last 24 hours.

"Well I guess I can't stay mad at you since I trust you and I feel like you're telling the truth." I scoot over to her and gave her a big hug.

"You know I love you with all my heart, right?" She nodded her head with a small smile and pushed me down on the bed.

We cuddled and eventually fell asleep in each other's arms.

We slept for 3 hours and woke up at the same time. She was on her phone texting Taylor and I thought I'd text my group chat with the boys

We both got up from her bed and she went to go wash her face to wake up a bit more. I changed into a pair of sweats that she "borrowed" from me. I left a hoodie on her bed and went downstairs to wait for her and took Lucy with me.

She came down and we went to the car and waited for Kairi to come out now.

We got our food quick and chilled there for a while. She seemed to be feeling better and didn't look so dead anymore.

Alvaro was going on and on about this senior that he slept with a few weeks ago and this other girl in our grade.

Her name is Camila and I've known her for a long time now, ever since middle school actually. We had a very close friendship but drifted away freshman year of high school. She always told me that she liked him and I would even try to put him on but she would be shy.

I'm happy she finally got with him. Avery doesn't know about Camila but what is there really to tell her?
