Chapter 15 : "Don't even mention it."

Chapter 15 : "Don't even mention it."

Yall no one read my last chapter I dont wanna whine but I had no motivation to post this, its okay tho :(

______________________________

"You can't be serious." I whined, calling my mom again.

"You've been calling them for so long." Aaron stated.

"No shit." I rolled my eyes.

I can't believe I'm stuck out here, one hour before midnight, with freaking Aaron.

"Stop calling them, if they check their phones, they're gonna be worried." Aaron said.

I sighed, "You're right."

"Well what should I do?" I whined again.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forgotten the keys." I said, pacing back and forth in front of the door.

"Well, you're not staying here, are you?" Aaron asked, raising his brows.

"What choice do I have? You know what, thank you for the ride, but I think you should go home now." I told Aaron.

"Look Oreo," Aaron sighed before continuing "I'm not an ass-"

I cut Aaron off, "You sure about that?"

"Yes, and I wouldn't leave a girl out alone in the dark, also in the middle of the night.." Aaron said.

I stayed silent and then Aaron continued, "Even if I don't like you Oreo."

"Oh come on, you love me, just like everyone else." I flipped my hair.

"Whatever." Aaron rolled his eyes.

"You didn't even deny it." I said, smirking.

"Never mind, I'm an asshole." Aaron said, narrowing his eyes before walking to his car.

"Are you serious?" I asked, laughing.

The boy is sensitive as fuck.

"Come on." Aaron said opening the passenger door of his car.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm gonna take you somewhere." Aaron replied.

I snorted, "No."

I don't know why I disagreed but .... no.

"Okay, good night." Aaron said getting in and starting the car.

Truth is, there's no one else in the neighborhood, it's too dark, and there's no way I'm staying alone.

"Wait!" I called for Aaron.

I guess he heard me from inside as he rolled the windows down, "What, you changed your mind?" Aaron asked, knowing very well that I did.

Bitch.

"I mean...."

Aaron raised his brows waiting for me to finish.

I looked around.

Very dim lights. Very shitty weather. Very uncomfortable front porch.

Yeah no. Not happening.

"I'm coming." I said as I walked over and got into the car.

"See? That wasn't very hard, was it?" Aaron smiled at me.

"Shut up, just drive." I replied, glancing outside the window.

"Wanna play a song?" Aaron asked.

I remembered what happened last time when I wanted to play a song.

"Uh no, thank you, I'd rather not." I answered.

Aaron laughed, "Still mad about it?" He asked referring to when he nearly killed my phone.

"You were so close to murdering my baby." I said, looking at him.

"But I didn't." Aaron shrugged.

"But you were about to." I said back.

"But I didn't."

I sighed loudly, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." Aaron said as he stopped at a red light.

About ten minutes later, Aaron stopped the car.

"Oh." I said as I got out.

He drove us to McDonald's.

"Good boy." I smiled at Aaron as we walked to one of my favorite places in the world.

"I know we had Pizza at Steve's, but knowing you, you don't care about that." Aaron glanced at me.

"You know me well." I said as we went to order.

Aaron and I gave our orders and then Aaron said, "My treat." As he pulled out his wallet.

"Hell no, we each pay for our own meals." I said, pulling out my wallet as well.

"No, I drove you here." Aaron said, as he handled the lady working the money.

"So?"

"So, it's my treat." Aaron said taking the bill and walking over to a table in the corner.

I sighed as I realized there's no room for arguing.

Lowkey glad he paid.

Shut up.

Aaron got up a couple minutes later to bring our orders. I'm pretty sure it's ready given the fact that we're the only people in this place.

Aaron came back with our orders.

To say I'm excited to eat those damn french fries is an understandment.

Aaron keeps earning my respect more each day.

"I need to send a picture of the food to Rose and Laurel, hold up." I said, pulling my phone out and snapping the picture.

"Why?" Aaron asked just as I captioned it 'I have a relationship with fries, you have nothing apart from a relationship with boys.'

"Because, I have to tease them." I said, shrugging.

That's like friendship rules, imagine not teasing your friends about food.

Aaron shook his head, "Girls."

I narrowed my eyes at him "Boys," I continued "are assholes."

"Excuse me?" Aaron said.

I smiled, "You're excused."

"Hey, is Rose in love with Steve or she just likes him?" Aaron asked, popping a fry in his mouth.

I coughed, "Huh?"

I don't think Rose wants everyone to know, especially not Steve's best friend. I know everyone already noticed but I don't want to be the one who told.

"You heard me."

"Well.. I'm not sure, I think it's just a crush thing.." I said eventually.

"Steve denies that he even likes her, but the boy is falling in love." Aaron stated.

"Really?" I asked.

"Don't tell Rose I said that though." Aaron looked at me seriously.

"Oh yeah sure." I said.

ROSE WILL BE SO HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS OH MY GOD.

"Ellie." Aaron said threatingley.

"I won't tell." I replied.

LAUREL WILL BE JUST AS EXCITED.

And then I got a call from my mom.

Shit. How am I supposed to tell her I'm still out with Aaron?

"That's my mom." I said as I grabbed my phone and answered.

"Hello."

"Ellie, how come you're still not home?" Mom jumped straight to the point.

Mom didn't give me a chance to answer as she continued, "You promised you'll be back, maximum half past ten."

"I did come home but I forgot my keys and you wouldn't answer." I explained.

"Oh.. then where are you now?" Mom asked and then I heard her explaining to dad.

"I.. uh.. I'm with Aaron at McDonald's." I said nervously.

"You're with a boy alone at McDonald's at this very late hour?" Mom rephrased.

"Yes?"

"Oh my god, you're finally doing what normal teenagers do." Mom squealed.

WAIT WHAT.

Aaron looked shocked and then started laughing as I realized the volume of my phone is too high, he probably just heard the whole conversation.

"Okay mom, whatever, I'll finish eating and come back home." I said, getting angry.

She's probably excited because I've done nothing the past seven months except stare at the wall in my bedroom.

"Will Aaron drive you?" Mom asked, probably smiling.

I assume dad leaned in to mom's phone because I heard him very clearly, "I'm sorry Ellie, your mom is weird, just be home soon, okay?"

"Yes, thank you dad." I said and stopped the call.

"That was-" Aaron said but I interupted.

"Don't even mention it."

Aaron and I finished eating and then got up to go home.

"Thank you for the free food, appreciated." I said as we got in the car.

"Oreo, you need to stop thanking me for everything." Aaron said smiling at me.

I smiled back and we just started at each other, smiling like idiots until Aaron coughed and glanced away.

That was awkward, what the hell.

I glanced out the window too.

And then I don't know why but I asked "Do you wanna listen to a song?"

Aaron laughed and then responded with "Yes."

I casually played our song- I mean our inside joke song and Aaron casually sang along.

"Why the fuck you lying, why you always lying.."

I'm laughing like crazy at Aaron.

The way he's singing is so cringe worthy and so funny at the same time.

After I got home, the first thing mom asked me when I walked in was, "Do you like him?"

"Mom!! Ew no." I stated firmly as I went upstairs to my room.

"Good night." I yelled as I reached my room.

As I lay in bed thinking, I realized that I don't really hate Aaron after all.

I think he's a nice friend. Just like the rest of the boys.

Laurel too, for sure.

I've known them for the shortest time, but I am so happy I get to be their friend, they're amazing.

And with these thoughts, I fell asleep.
