I slumped down into the couch and sighed heavily. Today had been a rough day, I hadn't seen James since I slid him that note on the floor and I still didn't know if he had forgiven me or not.
I was home alone tonight. I could pretty much do whatever I wanted to do, I could even have a party. Wait, no. I don't have a phone to invite people over and I couldn't even get in touch with Rachel, even if I wanted to, to see if she could help because we had fallen out. I slumped further down into the couch, swinging my legs around and onto the cushions. my brows furrowed as I thought hard about what I could do. The possibilities were endless, well they could have been if I had a phone. I've got it.
Running upstairs as fast as I could, with the little patterning of paws behind me, I charge into my Mum's bedroom. A little out of breath, I put my arm on the wall and breathed in heavily, I needed to do more exercise. I laughed at the thought of me doing any exercise whatsoever and I picked up my dog, Molly, and placed her on the bed. I glanced around my Mum's room, thinking about were she could have hid my phone. There were cupboards and drawers everywhere, yet again, the possibilities were endless. Heaving myself across the room, I started at the far corner and made my way through her first chest of drawers. Piled up high in each drawer were items such as: bras, underwear, socks, sanitary towels and tampons, hair items, straighteners, curlers, and hair-brushes and combs. I highly doubt my phone would be in that set of drawers, besides, I am definitely not going through her underwear and bra drawer.
I must have gone through all of her drawers by now, and no luck at all. I threw myself down onto my Mum's bed and just stared up blankly at the ceiling for a few minutes.
Ring Ring. Ring Ring
I felt my blood rushing around me crazily as I heard the house phone go off. my heart was literally in my throat, the phone scared me half to death. I must have dozed off or something. Grabbing the phone, I took a deep breathe before answering, then held it towards my ear.
"Megan? Are you okay? I've rang you twice already and you didn't answer. You scared me half to death! I thought something had happened to you!"
It was just my Mum. Panicking as usual, I rolled my eyes and answered.
"Mum seriously, you don't need to worry this much. I was just sleeping. now what were you ringing me so many times for?"
I waited for the expected answer of I was just checking up on you, I glanced at the clock, 4:02pm. There's still time for something I could possibly do. I heard my Mum's voice stiffen at the other side of the phone and then she took a deep breath. I sat up straight away, my heart thumping drastically in my chest.
"Listen Megs, I was just thinking. I'm being too tight on you, your phone is downstairs on the kitchen counter. Behave Megan."
My heart skipped a beat, for a moment there, I thought she was going to say something bad. My wandered off for a moment, thinking about all the things I could do now. I snapped out of it quickly though, just to answer my Mum.
"Thank you so much Mum. I will behave, I love you. See you tommorow."
As I leant back over the bed to put the phone back into the holder I heard her say she loved me too and that she'd see me tommorow. Hearing the click of the phone connect back into the holder, I lay back on the bed and smiled pointlessly at the ceiling. Now it was time to think of something good to do.
"Ouch." My hand slammed hard onto the counter, I had just came flying through the kitchen and tried to stop myself from falling. I grabbed my phone, took myself into the living room, threw myself onto the couch and turned the Tv on. Friends. I loved this programme. Pulling my phone out of my case, I noticed I had three BBM messages,6 normal messages and 2 missed phone calls. Jesus I'm popular all of a sudden. Scrolling through my normal messages first, I had 2 off my Mum saying the same thing as she said on the phone,
I love you xx
and
I'll see you tommorow xx
I laughed softly to myself, my mum was absolutely too over the top with making sure that I was okay, she could even be paranoid for all I know. I glanced at my phone logs to see who had called me. Rachel. What the hell did she want, I swear if it's just to wind me up, I will fucking hit her as hard as I can. Before I had another harsh thought, I looked through my other normal text messages, to see who the other four were off. Rachel. Again. I rolled my eyes, sighed, and clicked on the chat.
Megan. I'm really sorry about before. Please forgive me.
Please stop ignoring me. I really want to be friends again.
I promise never to say anything like that ever again, I swear Megs.
Take away pizza at yours tonight? I'll pay? :)
I smiled at my phone weakily. Maybe just one more chance, if she does anything again like that though, she's blown it. For good next time. I think this is going to be my plans for tonight though, take away pizza with Rachel, and then an early night for me. Even if it is Friday. I text her back a quick response.
Okay sure, I forgive you, mine at 5:00. You're paying :p
The clock read 4:37pm. She'll be here in time, it's Rachel. Of course she will, especially because she's wanting to make up with me. I'll just sort out my other messages before she arrives though, and possibly clean the living room. I notice the crisp packets and sweet wrappers thrown everywhere. Definitely need to clean up. Quickly opening up my BBM chats, I noticed only one name was highlighted with a new message icon.
James Matthews
I gulped. My heart was in my throat for the second time tonight, and blood was pumping through my veins very quickly. Hoping I was going to regret reading and opening these 3 messages, I clicked the open chat icon.
Megan, it's fine. I forgive you, just talk to me xx
I really hope you're not ignoring me, you're probably not but I'm hoping you're not anyway xx
And by the way, I could never hate you Megan. You're my best friend, I could never hate you... it's... it's impossible ;) xx
I could feel my cheeks flushing, that was adorable, he even used our version of Okay from The Fault In Our Stars. One thing keeps catching my eye though. Best Friend. Is that all he thinks of me as? That I'm just his best friend, could we not be more? I sighed, as cute he was, he was very confusing.
I put my phone onto the table, grabbed all the sweet and crisp wrappers and ran into the kitchen to put them back in. I now need to get dressed quickly before Rachel comes, 4:48pm, damn. She could be here any minute now. I ran back into the living room, I turned of my programme, which I didn't even watch, and went upstairs to change quickly.
Before I knew it, the door bell went. Rachel was here.
