Loving him. Missing him. Forgetting him. Remembering him. Part 9

*Recap*

"So who was Annie?" I asked.
"She was one of our friends, perfectly normal. Until Aaron laid his eyes on her" said Maggie obviously with a pang of sadness.
"What happened to her?"
Maggie sighed, "Well we had a party at my house, and Aaron was there. I was talking to her and I went to get a drink. And when I came back" shee stopped to sniff. "Aaron had taken her off." she broke down into tears. Xavier put his arm around her.
"Basically he raped her, and she was so traumatised her family took her out of school and moved to Arkansas."
"Oh God." I said, completely shocked, "I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault. We're just warning you to get away from him."
"How?"
"I don't know run away when you see him. Avoid him"
"But he's STALKING me. How do I avoid him when he turns up at my locker? Or beside me when I've just been knocked out?"
"Well, try not to go anywhere on your own."
"I don't want you to end up like Annie" said Maggie puffy-eyed.
"Me neither" said Xavier quietly.
Love me, love me, say that you love me
*Back to the future*
That night I went home and found a note on the table from my parents.
Hey Honey,
We're out at the moment. So is Emily she's out on a date with a lovely boy. Can't remember his name. Something like Erin, or Aaron. I don't know.
Help yourself to food,

Mum
"HOLY SHIT!" I screamed staring at the note.
I grabbed the phone from its stand in the kitchen and dialled Maggie's number, pressing the button's shakily.
"Maggie?"
"mhm"
"Is Aaron in?"
"KATY!! Why do you want to speak to him!?!!?"
"I don't, but I think he's out with my sister."
"Yeah, probably. He is out."
"Do you think he'll try anything?"
"NoEmily's a sl*t, no offense."
"None taken I realised that ages ago."
"So she'd probably let him."
"Oksorry I was a bit jumpy after you told me about Annie."
"It's ok."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
I hung up breathing deeply. I guess I was just being paranoid.
But what if they start dating and he's here all the time?
He won't be Emily never dates anyone for more than a week.
I guess. But this could be different.
Shut up paranoid-face.
*Gasp*
I went upstairs into my room where I had finally unpacked (!). I'd put my posters up on the walls and my glow-in-the-dark stars were on the ceiling.
I jumped on my bed and got out my ipod nano it was a present from my parents for making us move. Mine was black. Emily's was white. Like good and evil. I put it on shuffle and Crooked Teeth by Death Cab For Cutie came on.
Why do all the depressing songs come on when I'm in America?
I switched my ipod onto I bet that you look good on the dancefloor by the Arctic Monkeys.
I started jumping on my bed and being a spaz.
I didn't care.
The American Dream didn't happen for me.
I needed to let off steam.
What better way than rocking out to great music?
I was just getting really hyper when the phone rang.
"Yello?" I said breathlessly into the phone.
"Hey it's me Xavier"
"Hey! How are you"
"Ok. I just wanted to check you weren't too freaked out. Maggie seemed to think you were earlier."
"I was. But I'm not nowI'm chilled." I said in a voice that I meant to sound like a hippy.
"What the hell? Are you high?"
"NoHIGHper." I cracked up laughing.
"OkI've er, got to do homework. Bye."
"Bye" I hiccupped.
I am such a freak
*Ding Dong*
The doorbell went (to state the obvious) and I got up and answered the door.
It was Emily.
"Hey freak!" she said happily.
"Hey Bitch." I saidmeaning it. Aww sisterly lovenot. "How was your date?"
"Ohmygod! It was so much fun!" she said dumping her bag and coat on me, "Aaron is such a sweetie" she said opening the fridge and grabbing a carton of juice.
"Sweetie?" I raised my eyebrow.
"How would you know what he's like, I'll bet you've never talked to him in your life." she took a swig of juice.
"Wouldn't you like to know" I said half-sarcastically.
"Whatever, you're just jealous."
What? Jealous that my sisters going out with the guy that's been stalking me and is a rapist?" I said. Then realising what I said put my hands over my mouth.
*Oops*
Emily splurted out her juice, "What!?!?!?" she said laughing, "You expect me to believe that the school stud would choose you over me?"
*Phew she obviously didn't pick up on the fact that I said he was a rapist.*
"Umyeahhahagreat joke of mine" I said laughing nervously, "I'm gonna go to my room nowbye." I said turning and sprinting up the stairs to my room.
*Fast-forward to Friday evening*
(I got bored of writing school days and I wanted to write about Friday. And sorry that the first half is a bit shit. (hahahaha) But I was hyper. Sleep-deprivation does that to you.)
I had gone over to Maggie's house at 5:00 to get ready and help her set up. Luckily Aaron wasn't there. I was wearing my trusty black drainpipes my black t-shirt with a big print of Marilyn Monroe (You gotta love her) in rhinestones on it.
We were in Maggie's room doing our hair and other girlie stuff. I was putting on copious amounts of eyeliner and Maggie was pinning random bits of hair back on hair head (It sounds weird but looks really cool), when some-one knocked on the door. Maggie turned down the music on stereo which was playing Don't look back in anger by Oasis. I had gradually been introducing her to the amazing-ness of British music.
"Hello?" called Xavier's uncertain voice as he pushed open Maggie's door.
He looked really hot.
*Bad thoughts! What about Seth?*
"Hey!" said Maggie putting in a dangly earring shaped like a playing card. (these do exist my friend's sister has them), "How are you?"
"Um..fine?" he said. I guess knowing Maggie since kindergarten hadn't been long enough to get used to her eclectic style.
"Hey," I said turning around from the mirror and accidentally smudging my lipstick. "Oh crap. Now I look like Robert Smith." I grabbed a cleansing wipe from Maggie's desk.
We spent the rest of the time after me and Maggie had finished getting ready putting up the decorations, which involved enough fairy lights to scare a fairy and edible glitter.
*Delicious*
*Ding-Dong* chimed the doorbell.
"Yay! The first guest!" said Maggie clasping her hands together and running to the door. I hoped she wasn't like this at every party she held.
"Hey!" said Cat, Ryan and Jamie.
"Hey!" she said enveloping them all in a huge hug.
"I like the decorations" said Jamie he was so sweet.
"They'reersparkly" said Ryan nervously.
"I'm glad you like them." she said guiding them into the living room where the snacks were laid out: Ketchup sandwiches, Edible glitter and Glittery cocktail sausages.
"It's okI've got some chips in the back" whispered Xavier.
The doorbell went again and Camilla and Cal arrived.
"Hey! We brought twinkies!" (I dunno what they are but people always talk about them so whatever.)
"Yay!" squealed Maggie and Jamie like I said before they're perfect for each other.
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
