My alarm clock rings out loud signaling the beginning of a new horrible day. The past few days have not been good lets just say I have had better days. Still totally guilty of my actions I kept my conversations with Liam to a minimum and chase -lets not even go there.

I avoided him like a plague.

Groaning I get out of my bed and go to the mirror to examine my morning look and well its not pretty. I look like an experimental cave man in the future and the state of my hair this morning makes Medusa's hair rate five star.

Too lazy to actually take a bath I change into a blue tank top with flannel shirt and dark skinny jeans. Grabbing a comb I brush through my hair and pack it into a messy bun then put on my shoes. Heading to my bathroom I quickly wash my face and brush my teeth applying some  mascara and lip gloss then get my stuffs for school.

I meet my dad at the kitchen and give him a quick hug "aren't you gonna have breakfast?" he asks surprised. " I ll survive" I tell him but still take a packet a skittles. Mireal's car pulls up in the drive way and I lazily walk out to meet her.

" would you please hurry up we have to get to school sometime before Christmas " she yells at me. She happens to have a lot of energy this morning which not surprisingly brings down my spirit more.

I get in and drop the skittles in her lap earning a squeal and kissy noises .

Yeah I have a mental best friend.

She starts driving but occasionally taking glances at me. " so I met a new guy on Saturday his name is kyle and he's totally cute" she beams at me and I nod absently. " okay Miranda that does it, what the hell is up with you lately".

" nothing " I say " am totally fine ".  She scowls " Oh yeah I totally believe you I mean, you always zoning out on me and refusing to make reasonable sentences are totally normal ".  " I am your best friend for fuck 's sake dammit I care bout your well being..don't you trust me anymore " she yells again a hint of hurt and anger lacing her voice.

She is already showing her red head characteristics and I know better than to get her more angry.

I would love to arrive at school in one piece thank you.

Her words hit a spot and I suddenly feel like crying. Its not like I don't trust her but I was just scared of being judged. Am sure she would support me in every way possible but it still doesn't take away what I have done. I haven't considered telling Liam..hell I don't think I could and I was not ready to open up to anyone.

She sees my expression then calms herself down "manda am really sorry its just that I miss you..the real you".  I sigh " am sorry also and I trust you you know that ".

I have a mind to hug her but she's driving so I restrain myself. Unfortunately we are thinking alike and she lets go of the wheel and leans to hug me.  " Mireal keep your eyes on the fucking road!" I scream as the car makes little wobbly movements before coming to a screeching stop.

" oh am really sorry " her face is all red from shock " I just got a little too emotional " I roll my eyes.

Why I let her drive me again I have no idea.

______________________

" listen am sure you have a lot on your mind now but could you explain why chase keeps looking at you like that? " Mireal whispers to me as I organize my locker after chemistry making my heart beat faster.

" what? He's not looking your just assuming things " I say my eyes searching for chase and finding him looking straight at me.

Could this day not get awkward

" I saw him Manda " she rolls her eyes " its like he wants to tell you something but cant and that leaves me wondering what connection both of you have ".

I didn't tell Mireal bout my tutoring chase because I know her and if she found out that I had a slight crush on him my life would be officially over.

What an awesome friend I am hiding things from her

" well if your so curious why don't you go ask him yourself " I groan already walking away to the cafeteria with her a step behind me. " maybe I should " I stop walking when she says that and turn to hold her arm. 

" just let it go Mireal seriously " I plead earnestly hoping she will because knowing her she does what she wants. " fine I just think he likes you and you should probably hear him out " she says a smug smile on her lips as we enter the cafeteria.

" really? and whats the point of that cos last time I checked I already have a boyfriend " I tell her and she laughs lightly.

I am still a bit moody but am trying hard not to think about my situation to avoid more questions from Mireal. We get our lunch and head to our usual table and sit. " you didn't even ask about kyle " she says already taking a huge bite out of her corndog.  I groan again this is a talk that would probably take the whole of my lunch period " fine fine please feel free to bore me with totally irrelevant information " she glares at me but started talking anyway.

She goes on about how cute he is. I roll my eyes no one could look better than Liam. Just saying.

It would be illegal.

The cafeteria was lightly packed today because we had a football game after school and many people wanted to watch the boys practice. I am looking around lazily munching on my French fries when I see Dylan and Sandra at corner on the jock table. They were engaged in a make out session more like physically abusing themselves if you consider their position from my point of view.

He's clutching her hair like she's some kind of animal and she's not objecting. I really have no problem with that, if you ask me she probably belongs in the zoo.

I am about getting comfortable with my lunch when a girl who i recognize sits beside Mireal in biology comes into the cafe and whispers something to a group  of girls at a table who in turn shout it out to the others which gets all of them running out like an army of ants.

" what is going on? " Mireal asks me quite astonished by their behaviour but I shrug in reply. A girl storms past us but Mireal is quick to grab her hand.

" sorry what's going on " the girl happens to be a freshman and looks shocked that Mireal could actually talk to her. " didn't you hear? he's here " she says before darting towards the door.

He?

" who's here..awww bitch! " Mireal cries in frustration and I give her a look. " I don't think the poor girl deserves that Mireal " I say biting back a wave of laughter. " well life isn't fair  now lets go " she gets up hurriedly from her chair and waits for me. I am too tired to move from my sit and I tell her just that, without wasting time she grabs my fries and dumps it into the trash can holding my juice box next.

In shock I get up immediately and pry my drink from her hands, muttering a silent prayer to my now condemned fries I follow her out.

She is a fry killer!

" I heard that " she says the harshness of her voice scaring me and I shut out my thoughts by sipping the contents of my juice box quite dramatically.

We step out to the parking lot where all the students are gathered and might I add the heat is already troubling me the instant am outside. They are all gathered around a seemingly posh car that was parked at a spot usually left for the jocks, cheerleaders and football players.

" no way " Mireal gasps and frantically pulls me towards the crowd. I am quite short if you remember my description and am guessing Mireal managed to get a glimpse at the object of attraction and had the need to pull me with her like am an unwilling dog on a leash.

Unwilling yes, dog I strongly disagree

" Liam! " she yells as she pushes her way through the crowd and I wonder if the heat is getting to her because am quite sure she called the wrong name.

I don't get to think for long as we get to the front of the crowd and all the air in my lungs disappear.

Omg it IS Liam .

He was really here standing beside his car in all his male glory, dressed in all black, legs crossed hands in pocket, perfect dark hair and a smirk plastered to his gorgeous face.

Darn it!  someone call 911 this is illegal!

" Hey Mireal " he says still smirking " tell your friend its rude to stare ". Mireal chuckles a little and shoves me making me blink into reality becoming aware of the situation.

" Here " he hands a white handkerchief which just so happened to be in his possession at this time " you have a little drool at the corner of your mouth " he adds and to further humiliate me he points to the exact spot on his face where my proof of shameful ogling was supposed to be.

Seriously this guy

I take it though. You know just to be sure I wasn't actually drooling and to prevent further embarrassment.

" whats the occasion? " I ask referring to his choice of outfit " are we by any chance mourning your ego? ".

He releases a throaty laugh and pulls me into a hug startling me " Jesus Miranda I missed you " I mumble a shy 'me too 'because I am currently having difficulty in constructing something that would qualify as a sentence and I feel hot all over, believe me it has nothing to do with the scorching sun.

He places a kiss on my forehead further intensifying the feelings building inside me. I realise I probably have like a hundred eyes staring at me right now so I pull away blushing. I am starting to hear hush whispers flowing through the crowd but Mireal comes to my rescue.

" well what are you all looking at go make your life useful! " she yells the wind blowing her hair all over her face. Finally they all disperse and I know tomorrow will be filled with lots of glares and unsettling questions.

" thanks " I gift her a smile which she returns winking " anything for my favourite couple ". Liam laughs and suddenly asks " where's Jake? ". 

Silence is golden so I keep quiet and wait for Mireal to speak. It wasn't my place to tell him anyway. " its a long story but he's an ass" she says sighing and Liam doesn't ask more questions.

" what are you doing here anyway " I ask come to think of it I really have no idea. He gasps and clutches his right chest in feign hurt " you hurt me babe right there ". " your heart is on your left Liam " I roll my eyes and he coughs awkwardly " I knew that ".

Yeah sure he did

" anyway I came to steal you away " he says grinning widely and I feel almost blinded by his smile " so lets go ".  I think he is kidding because we still have two horrifyingly long hours before school is over. The bell rings on cue and I sigh.

" I cant we still have- " I am interrupted by Mireal as she rushes into the school building yelling she will be right back. " come on " Liam says drawing my attention from my crazy best friend " we have not had time for ourselves for a week now and I just want us to hang out ".

" don't you dare say no or your officially not my best friend anymore " Mireal is back with my backpack in one hand and panting like she's been in the sahara for weeks. I know I don't have a choice so I smile and collect it then turn to Liam.

We get into his car and I wave to Mireal as we drive out of school. We are on the highway now so am less tense. I couldn't believe I was ditching school, I had a perfect record since freshman year.

" am sorry you had to ditch school for me I know its like your second home " he says with a smug grin attached to his face.

He's indirectly calling me a nerd

I decide not to answer him because I am apparently the mature one. Okay its actually because I have no comebacks registered for such statements. I turn on his radio searching for cool songs to listen to just to block out his annoying but sexy voice.

Boyfriend a song from big time rush comes up and I start nodding my head to the music. " would you turn that crap down..ugh girls" Liam says and I gasp. He did not. Logan and Carlos were to die for. When I don't answer he takes it upon himself to change it and its a song by sia.

I groan inwardly when he mutters how good she is and starts singing. " your voice is like lemon its sour " I tell him point blank but he shrugs and puckers his lips towards me " great lets make lemonade".

What a pervert

" where are we going " I say after rolling my eyes at his pun intended statement. I didn't have a proper lunch and I can hear my stomach rumbling. " My house " he replies " right after we get something to eat cos the noise coming from you is disturbing ".

He just said I was going to his house and curiosity suddenly envelopes my mind of what to expect. We stop by at Nachos and burgers which was the only fast food around that side.

" I ll take a bucket of wings with extra ketchup and pepper and two diet coke please " I say to the girl behind the counter who was more interested in flirting with Liam than taking my order. Liam gives me an astonished look like I just ordered their whole menu. I chose to ignore.

" I ll have a hot dog, fries and soda " he says eventually and she tells us the bill. " anything else " the girl asks flashing a smile at Liam who is reaching into his pocket for money. I quickly pay and grab our food already heading out when Liam stops me. " why did you pay? "he sounds kinda angry and I gulp.

" its okay I have some cash " I tell him carefully and he sighs releasing my hand from his death grip " you shouldn't have I could have done it ".  I nod in obedience and sit in the car while he gets in and drives. I feel like eating already but I decide against it.

The idiot could have mutual love for his car and himself

We pull up in front of a huge silver gate and Liam presses the intercom. A feminine voice answers.
"its me mum " Liam says and seconds later we are inside and moving through the driveway.

My jaw is resting comfortably on the floor of his car as I scan the environment. Red and white decorate both sides of the long driveway as the house finally comes into view. Its not exactly a mansion but totally breath taking.

Liam chuckles a little at my awed state as the car finally comes to a stop. I get out taking my food with me and just stare at the building. " are you coming in or your okay gawking at my house" he says his voice still laced with humor. I ignore him and continue to look around as we walk to a huge door.

The door opens revealing a lady who I presume to be a model " ditching school again aren't you?" she says an amused expression on her face  "if it wasn't for your good grades I ll soo ground your ass". Liam laughs hugging her and her eyes rest on me. I feel suddenly self conscious.

" well who's the little beauty? " her blue eyes and dark hair are enough to tell me they are related. Liam runs a hand through his hair smiling " mum this is Miranda my girlfriend ".

Mum??!

This could not be his mum. She didn't look like the person I saw at camp though I cant really say I remember. She looks like she cant believe it " what happened to Linda Dawson? ". Liam groans " she was never my girlfriend mum". I stare at both of them as they continue their quite amusing bickering.

" am so sorry honey, please make yourself at home I have to get to work for an important meeting " she says touching my hair in a loving manner and leaves.

Liam grabs my hands and leads me to another room which I suppose was the living room. Surprisingly it didn't look overly posh as I expected it was homely and I find myself dropping unto a couch which was indeed very comfortable.

" you can eat now you look really hungry " he says and I do object as I bring out my wings and diet coke. Moaning as I take a bite Liam mutters am the dorkiest person he knows - I don't think its even a word.

He finishes his fries quite quickly and progresses to his hot dog. I am watching him while still eating of course as he eats all the bread leaving only the sausage. I am about to question his actions when he starts sucking on the sausage like his life depends on it. I choke.

This boy will be the end of me. He doesn't stop laughing as he points to a door which I assume is the kitchen. Rushing there I look in the refrigerator for water and instantly down the contents into my system without mercy.

He steps into the kitchen after a while shirtless and a smirk on his face. I attach the bottle to my lips and gulp more water in order to prevent another round of choking. " take a picture, it will last longer"  he grins at the other end of the counter and I realise I have been staring.  "I would but am not really into animals" I tell him smugly and he smiles again not a bit affected by my insult.

" well then your loss cos am really proud of these babies " he says rubbing his abs delicately. " what babies?..your ribs? " I ask amused and his face becomes red almost making me roll on the beautiful kitchen tiles in laughter.

He comes into the kitchen his face still covered in red blotches and starts in front of me hovering over me like am a sort of prey. " ooh am scared " I say still howling in laughter and clutching my stomach for more effect. "are you really?" he replies and places a kiss on my collar bone making me jump.

Looking into my eyes he starts trailing kisses below my jaw line and nibbling on the skin below my left ear. I am having trouble breathing at this point but am too distracted to care. Finally he kisses me and I feel my heart beat go up five thousand beats per second. I restrain myself from moaning by biting my lower lip when he releases them to start trailing kisses down my neck because knowing Liam he would probably tease me when he had the chance to.

It feels really good though why the fuck didn't I try this before?!

His hands become glued to my tiny waist and he moans into my neck making me shiver a little. Still craving for his lips, I reach up to grab his face and place it directly on mine and start running my hands through his hair that had been teasing me all day. I feel his hands slide to my hip and then slowly grab my ass. I gasp and pull away slightly. " Liam what are you doing?" he doesn't stop nibbling on my neck and I am scared he ll leave a mark. "relax doll face, am just stepping it up" he says not quite clearly and goes back to kissing me. Any objections I had to offer becomes void as I melt into his touch.

He keeps holding me in place as he slowly pushes me against the counter ensuring no space between our bodies except my clothes. I find his fingers playing with the hem of my tank top and slowly he trails them up until his hands are just below the curve of my breasts.

The sound of something dropping startles us and we find ourselves just looking into each others eyes breathing heavily.  "your not that bad a kisser"  he says a smug smile on his now swollen lips and I kick him really hard in the balls.

He definitely deserved that.

_________________________

We head back to my house after trying and failing horribly to watch a movie. Liam wouldn't just shut up and when he's not talking he's snoring just to piss me off . I got all lonely and started chucking bits of chicken wings at him making him quite furious.

I actually found it funny as he had a perfect resemblance to a boiling kettle only he was way cuter. screw me I compliment him too much. " what are you thinking about" he asks suddenly breaking the comfortable silence that enveloped us. " nothing" I reply smiling.

"am sorry bout my mum she actually thought I was dating Linda because our families are..you know " he says and I nod in understanding. " tell me something though how many girlfriends have you had before me " I say cocking an eyebrow and he turns away from me I assume to hide his blush.

" I didn't really do girlfriends just flings, friends with benefits and bed mates " I wasn't shocked I actually expected worse." but with you its different ".

" so I guess I tamed the bad boy then " I say with a smirk and he nods grinning like a two year old. " what about you did you also have a thousand boyfriends? ".

I chuckle awkwardly feeling very vulnerable " your actually my first " his eyes widen in shock and I avoid his gaze. " wow " was all he said. I can see my house in the distance and I really didn't want this day to end. I had a good time.

Especially that part when Liam - okay stop!

I feel myself blushing from the memory. " you trust me right?..you know I lld never hurt you in anyway. I love you and I lld never cheat on you or play with your feelings like I did in the past with other girls". A wave of hurt invades my heart. He would never cheat on me and I knew he meant every word.

But I cheated on him.

I nod in reply and try not to look into his blue eyes. " I trust you too you know and I lld never leave you no matter what" he says as he parks the car in front of my drive way and holds my face forcing me too look into his eyes.

In seconds his lips are moving slowly on mine and though am tempted to lean closer to have a better access of his, my mind is filled with guilt. He trusts me and I broke that.

We get out of the car and walk to my front door. He knows he cant possibly come in because my parent's car are parked outside. With a final hug he smiles and leaves and I open the door already tired from all the emotional trauma.

The whole house is dark which is weird and I feel for the light switch turning it on. " mum dad am home" I yell already feeling frightened. Perhaps they have been kidnapped by a serial killer. I move to the kitchen and at the table I see an unfinished elegant meal and candles decorating it. No blood though so am calm.

I proceed upstairs to check if they were already asleep though its just 7pm. I hear giggles coming from their room door as am about to knock and I blush in embarrassment. I should have figured it out earlier and then I remember today is their anniversary.

My phone buzzes as I lazily walk to my room. I am really too tired to check so I just change into sleep clothes and wash my face. I finally decide to check my phone.

Male god : goodnight doll face, I love you.

I blush again. He always makes me blush.

Manda : I love you more.

Male god : yeah, you wish

Manda : asshole

Before I know it my head finds my pillow and my little white teddy then all I see is black.
