The Nerdy Bad Boy and The Bad Ass Freak

Answer Me!!!

Rebecca pov

    I haven’t gotten a text back from Damon all day which is weird. I decided to call Jess to see if he went to school since I am suspended. She picked up almost immediately “Hey Rebecca” "Hey Jessica I was just wondering if Damon was at school today he isn't picking up his phone" "you can call me Jess and no he wasn't Damon said he was homesick" "okay thanks that is all I wanted" "No problem since we are talking I should update you on the girls night. If you're allowed we can have it this weekend but I get it if you're not since I know my mom would ground me for life for a suspension. I didn’t call because I wasn't sure if you would be grounded from your phone and didn’t want to get you in any more trouble" 

    I would give anything to have my mom ground me again but sadly that isn't ever going to be possible. I wipe a tear that I didn’t notice had fallen, take a second to make sure my voice won’t break and say, "Don't worry about it I can make it so my mom is pretty chill so I'm not grounded and will be allowed to go to girls night" 

    Dang I hate lying to her she is really nice but it is the only way to keep everyone safe. "Okay we will be going over to my house to have a girls night after school Friday. I am taking Ella to my house so if you don't have a car I can also take you and don't forget to bring a bag since it is a sleepover." "Okay I will take you up on the ride and I will try not to forget my bag. I have to go see you later" "bye."

     I swallow the lump that was building up in my throat and blink fast to rid my eyes of unshed tears. All I could think about through that whole conversation was my family, how much they missed, like me going to my first sleepover and having my first crush but also thinking about all my sister missed since she has been gone. 

    Ugh how I wish they were here with me but things happen and now I am all alone. After we got off the phone one thing stuck out to me about Jess and that is for a “bad girl” she is one of the nicest people in the school. 

    I have been texting Damon all day but no reply. When I first texted him it was around 8am and now it's 5pm. Not only did I text but also call and he didn't answer that either, it would ring and ring until it finally went to voicemail so I don’t even know if he saw it since he didn't reject the call or answer it. I was getting angry with him for not even giving me a simple response like I'm okay. 

    If he doesn't pick up this time when I call him I will walk to his house, knock and ring the doorbell and if that doesn't work then I will just have to break in but that is only if he doesn't answer this call. Ring.... Ring…. Ring…. he FINALLY picked up on the third ring and I waited for him to say hey when he didn't I said "Hello!!!" Trying to hold back my anger but it wasn't working and I bet he could tell I was mad but he deserved it. 

    Seriously, who doesn't check their phone once all day? Well besides him. "H-h-hello" he stuttered out. "I have been texting you since 8am it is now 5pm not only text but called do you have any idea how worried I was that you weren't picking up you phone. I was going to walk to your house ring the doorbell and knock on the door if you didn’t answer. If that didn’t work I was honestly thinking about breaking in." 

    As I continued my rant about him not picking up his phone he interrupted me "You were worried about me?" I could practically hear the smirk. I rolled my eyes that is all the i***t got from this whole entire rant really. "Seriously Damon. I was just wondering if you were okay because your dumbass doesn't know how to answer a damn phone and all you can think about is that I am worried about you?" "I'm sorry I took a nap then Alex kept me busy I didn't mean to worry you but it is nice to know you care I didn’t think you would" he said sounding like he actually means all of it which makes me kind of sad why would he think I didn’t care. 

    "It's okay just never go and do it again. I called because I was wondering if you were okay since you missed school and weren't answering your phone." "Yeah I'm fine just a stomach bug should be back in a couple days then we can get back to working on our project. I have a question for you though." 

    I didn't believe it when he said he has a stomach bug but I will let it go for now. "What's your question?" I asked intrigued on what could possibly tumble out Damon's mouth. "How did you know I missed school? You're not allowed at school since you're suspended?" I am glad we were talking over the phone because my cheeks were redder than a tomato. "Jess and I were talking on the phone about a girls night and she somehow brought the topic to you asking if I was going over to yours still for the English project since you weren't at school" 

    Lying to the people who are closest to me is just great (Note the sarcasm). I need a break from all this bullcrap coming out of my mouth. Also yes two people I just started talking to a couple days ago are closest to me but I have to keep people at arms length. These two are just an exception, I just don’t know why I am making an exception for them though I just am. 

    "oh so you guys were talking about me" well dang got me there. "w-w-well yeah but only because she brought you up" Damn it I need to get this blush and stutter under control. He just laughs in his deep husky voice that makes me melt, his laugh alone makes my head fuzzy and my legs feel weak. Before I know it the laughing stops and I will do anything to make him laugh again.

    My stomach twists when he says "Well I will talk to later Alex is calling me." I don't want to hang up but I understand he has to take care of his little sister so I reluctantly said bye and hung up. The rest of the time of my suspension were uneventful I did jobs for the gang mostly killing and torture, caught up on homework, and texted Jess and Damon some. Couple things did change though, after that day I sent Damon all those worried texts and phone calls he’s been sending me good morning and good night texts. 

    Not that I am complaining though I find it sweet and everytime I read one of those texts my heart skips a beat but I just pretend I don't notice it because it's not like Damon and I could ever have a good life and end up together. Today is the day I return to hell and it's a Monday… yay (sarcasm of course)

     Damon thinks he should be better by Friday and come into school. My girls weekend got changed to this weekend because Jess had a family thing pop up. Today is the first day I will be seeing Avery since I punched her. I heard she got a nose job and blamed it on me breaking her nose, when really I was trying to fix it so she should be thanking me. I get into school, everyone goes quiet and is looking at me but I just ignore them and go to my locker. “Well Well Well look who we have here” I heard a voice say right behind me and I turned around to see who it was then WHAM!
