Chapter 23

These days i'm in love with 1D's, Truly Madly Deeply song.... who doesn't love it?

If it wasn't for Theodore, I would have fallen, and who knows might have died even. I should have paid more attention to where I was walking so I wouldn't have tripped over. I tried to move but, Teddy was holding me tightly and I can't even budge. Becoming conscious of being hugged by a hot guy, I tried pushing him,

"Theodore, I'm......", but before I could tell him to let me go, he dropped his hands and took me by my shoulders.

"Are you crazy!?? You could've fallen and gotten injured."

"I was born crazy" I mumbled slowly.

"I heard it loud and clear, sunshine", I sighed and looked up. My eyes widened seeing his worried and the usual arrogant smirk at the same time. I didn't know he would really look worried though.

"But are you alright? I mean really?"

I felt a slight smile creeping in and I held one of his hands and said, "I'm alright, really"

Like he was holding his breath he sighed heavily. Just when I was about to ask him, where he's going now, for real, someone coughed loudly. My whole body tensed and I turned around, letting go of his hand. I was greeted by eleven pairs of eyes; my aunt and uncle looked surprised, my cousin was staring at me with an unreadable expression. Andrew's eyes darted away from the place, where I was holding his friend's hand to mine. He had a hard unfamiliar expression and when his eyes landed on me his face softened instantly. As usual Mackenzie was glaring at me, while the twin sisters; Ella and Bella were trying hard not to smile.

Aunt faked a cough and got all of our attention to her,

"It's good you two are here too. Come along with us. Theodore, i want you to bring your guitar with you. Rebecca darling, I'll explain everything to you and i would really appreciate if you could give us a hand too."

I gave a slight nod, while Teddy gave a small smile and walked away to get his guitar. He smiled! He actually smiled at me!! I did a happy dance inside and kept smiling like an idiot. Suddenly Chloe appeared beside me and started whispering,

"Rebecca, what happened? First Andrew and now Teddy."

"You know you don't make any sense right?"

My best friend sighed desperately and mumbled, "Becca, for your information Teddy rarely talks with girls, especially with new ones he meet. And obviously something happened with you and Andrew, and for the facts Andrew never let a girl stay in his room, more than one day."

What the.....?? Teddy rarely talks with girls?? And Andrew...! I was disturbed by my thoughts, when I heard Mackenzie muttering something.

"What did you say??" I stopped midway and turned towards the blond girl. She also stopped and just stood there glaring at me. I clenched my fists, totally ignoring others who also stopped walking.

"Mack....."

"What bitch? You wanna know what I called you? I called you a bitch, because you are one."

"Excuse me?"

I took a step towards Mackenzie, when Chloe grabbed my hand tightly, while Michael got hold of her hand, giving me an apologetic smile.

"Kenzie, that's enough."

Mackenzie without even looking at Michael, who's pleading with his light brown eyes to tell her to stop, she pushed his hand,

"Michael, this is none of your business."

Michael's eyes widened and I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting a comeback like that from her. Michael tried to tell something but, the typical blond girl showed her dominating power by glaring at him, which made him eventually close his mouth. I let out a sigh, getting tired of her drama and added,

"Last time I checked, I barely know you, Mackenzie. At least can you tell me why you are getting mad at me for no reason??"

She rolled her eyes and glared at me, practically spitting to my face, she said,

"We have business with each other, since the time you slept with Andrew!"

My mouth literally dropped and I face palmed for asking such a question. I heard grasps behind me and then only I saw Theodore standing behind Michael with a shocked expression. I asked stuttering,

"H...How.... How do you know?"

"I've my ways darling. I never thought you would actually sleep with him, because he's handsome and a model."

I laughed out loud and muttered,

"Are you kidding me?? Unlike you I don't sleep with guys, unless accidently."

"As far as I know, my dear Rebecca, no one sleep with anyone accidently."

I kept staring at Mackenzie unable to explain what really happened to her. Suddenly I felt Andrew's presence beside me and looked at him. He looks so mad and irritated.

"Mackenzie will you stop giving Rebecca a hard time, when she didn't even do anything to you??"

Now it was Mackenzie's chance to stutter,

"B...B...But And...."

Andrew ran a hand through his hair, clearly showing that he's annoyed and not interested in hearing what excuse she has to give.

"Your business is with me, Mackenzie. And why are you scolding her like she stole your boyfriend?? Don't go around spouting nonsense when you don't know what actually happened." Leaving no place for Mackenzie to say something, he added, "Yeah, we slept together accidently, as she...." Before adding something unnecessary like, me accidently falling asleep in his bed, he stopped himself, and said, "So what, Mackenzie? That's none of your business."

"Andrew it's my business since the time you became my childhood friend. You know that. You know I like you since a long time ago..." she bent on her knees and started crying. Andrew stood there, with a confused expression. I nudged Andrew and pointed to Mackenzie.

"Are you nuts?? She was literally blaming you earlier and you want me to console her now?"

"God Andrew, she's your childhood friend. Just do it."

He rolled his eyes and bent hugging Mackenzie, who first tried pushing him but then just gave in. I may hate Mackenzie, but I know how much it hurts having a crush on someone who doesn't give a damn about you. It's really hard specially when you two used to be close. I guess you understand from personal experience. Andrew while patting Mackenzie's head, slowly said,

"Kenzie, how many times do I have to tell you, I don't love you back? So stop wasting and hurting yourself cause of a guy like me and recognize the guy who actually loves you and would do anything to see you smile. But that guy's not me."

Letting go of Mackenzie, Andrew stood up and faced Michael,

"Take her somewhere so she could relax her mind."

Michael gave a slight nod and helped Mackenzie to stand up. With teary eyes she looked at Andrew once and then went with Michael, who put his hand around her waist and hugged her. Sighing Andrew turned towards us and said, in an irritated tone,

"Whether I like Rebecca or not, whether I slept with her or not, please remember that, it's none of you guys' business. And you girls..", he turned his face ninety degrees and then only I saw Mackenzie's minions hiding behind the wall, and added, "now don't go spouting nonsense around the school."

With that he just left without even looking back for a second even.

I let out a sigh worrying where all these things might lead to. i gave out a shrug particularly to no one and followed Andrew. One thing i hate is DRAMA and to be a PART of drama. It's a headache.

I found Andrew near the principal's office and he looked around when he heard my footsteps. I walked towards him and stoop up next to him having no idea about what to tell him. Well, after all none of this is my fault.

He suddenly cleared his throat and looked down at me, cause unfortunately i'm shorter than him when i'm not wearing any heels. He docked his head sideways and gave me a cute smile. If he wasn't looking directly at me i would have melted on to the floor. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach fluttering their wings continuously and my nerves are not calming down.

i kept staring at him and my eyes wondered around his body. He was wearing a white shirt under the dark blue jacket He has rolled up his sleeves and i could clearly see his muscular biceps. Unconsciously i moved my right hand towards his left arm which was placed on the wall and touched him. Only when he tensed and jerked his hand i realized what i actually did. I freaking touched him when he was right there looking at me, watching my every single move. I looked down on the floor and mumbled, "sorry, my hand just moved.", like it will move on its own.

He gave out a loud chuckle which made me blush more, but when he should have said "no, its fine,", he apologized to me,

"Rebecca, i'm so sorry for everything."

Though i didn't want to look up, I looked his face and understood what he apologized for. His face looked so trouble and i dont know kind of dark? I gave him a slight smile and asked,

"For what?"

He looked away and stared at the empty hallway,

"For the things MacKenizie told and will tell from now on."

I let out a chuckle and said,

"You don't have to apologise. I don't really care about what she says or do. Did you really think i couldn't handle her ? "

He uncomfortable bit his upper lip and said,

"well, if its you, you will be fine i guess."

I shook my head and added,

"Not guess, i will be fine but she won't be if she keeps pisses me off."

He laughed and only then i saw that when he laughs honestly he closes his eyes.

"Thank You really i mean it."

i shrugged and smiled at him, trying to take all his handsome features in to my brain.

"And here they come.", he said rolling his eyes.

How's the chapter?? I think this is my longest one, right???

But more over can anyone guess what will happen next???
