My childhood best friend is a bad boy

Chapter twelve - The good old days

Ellie's POV:

Everything is getting better. Scott and I hang out every day. In school, we act like we don't know each other for years, but just for a month. That's when I came here. I think the only person who knows the whole story is Noah, but I am sure that he won't tell anyone. He doesn't seem like a person who would do that. I hope that I'm not wrong. 

It's Friday and mom and dad wanted to go somewhere for the weekend. They invited me, but I denied it. I'm not in the mood to go wherever is it. They don't want to leave me alone, but I told them that I'll be ok. My plan was to invite Scott for a sleepover like the good old days. He might have changed, but that doesn't mean that he can't take care of me. Moreover, I am his best friend. I texted him in school and luckily he agreed.

I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. It was exactly who I thought. 

- Hey, thanks for coming. I hope that I won't ruin your Friday night. 

- No, it's ok. In addition, we haven't done a slumber party in a while. Don't worry sir, I won't do anything to your daughter. - Scott chuckled

- This time I'll believe you, but behave. Before you were kids and I no needed to say it, but now I have to. 

- Dad, everything will be fine. I am 17, so I can take care of myself. I invited Scott only so you two can calm down. I wouldn't deny a weekend for myself.

- Excuse me. So you didn't want to be with me? I am offended. 

- Don't act like a drama queen. We have enough of them in school. I don't need one at home. 

- Ok, I am ready, but before we go, I want hugs. - mom said and gave me and Scott one

- Mom, you're going to kill me. I... can't breathe.

- Sorry, honey. You know me. Ok, we are going. I want the house in the same state in which is now, understood?

- Yes, mam. Everything will be the way it is now. 

- Let's say that I believe you. I love you and will see you on Sunday. 

Finally, they decide to leave. For a moment, I thought that they changed their minds and will stay. I love my parents, but sometimes they care way too much. I am not a kid anymore, so I can take care of myself and I don't need Scott for that. 

- Well, we are finally alone. What do you want to do? I will suggest you order dinner and watch a movie with me or you want us to eat outside? - Scott asked

- We can eat at home tonight and tomorrow outside. Thanks for staying. I appreciate it. 

- No problem. For you, I'll do anything. Moreover, who am I to say no to the great Ellie Jones? 

- Very funny. It's early for dinner so what we'll do now? Any ideas?

- Well I have something in mind. - he smirked and picked me up bridal style

- What are you doing? Let me down right now. 

- Let me think. Um... no. I won't do that, but instead...

Scott ran with me in the backyard. Soon both of us were standing in front of the pool. He better not throw me in there. It's cold and I don't want to get sick. 

- Please, don't let me down. It's cold. I'll do anything, but please don't let me down. 

- Anything? Absolutely anything? Are you sure? 

- Well by anything I mean as a best friend, but please don't let me down. I don't want to get sick. 

- I won't throw you in the pool if...

- If what? Don't play games and just tell me. 

- If you come to a party with me tomorrow night. There won't be any girls from school. The only person will be Noah, but I think that you two will be ok together. I mean that he doesn't hate you. 

- Me and a party? You have to be kidding me. There is no way that I am going to a party. 

- Then I will drop you. 3...2...1... a…nd

- Ok, ok, I will come. Just don't do it. Don't drop me, please. 

- For real? You are not lying to me, right? Because I won't like it. 

- I am not lying. I will come only if you don't drop me. Otherwise, you can forget about it and me. 

- Then we have a deal. It was a pleasure for me to negotiate with you. 

Scott turned around and carefully let me down. I hope that he wasn't serious about this party. I said it so he can let me down. There is no way that I am going. First, I have been only to one or two. Second, it was before a lot of time. Third, I don't do well at parties and don't want Scott to feel like my babysitter and to be always around me. 

- Finally, I will have a girl for a party. It's been a while, but mostly I am glad that it's you. 

- Look, I said it so you can let me down. I am not for a party. The last one on which I went was a long time ago. Moreover, I don't do well at parties.

- You what? Don't worry about that. I'll be there with you all night. You won't get drunk or anything else. I won't let you do it. 

- That's the other reason for which it's better if I don't go. I don't want you to be my babysitter. 

- And I won't be. We'll be just two friends who will have fun. Look at me and listen.

I did what he said. I have to admit that from both of us he always was the better looking. In school, people talked more with him than me, but that didn't stop him to be my best friend. Scott has pretty eyes and a smile. No wonder why every girl wants him. Well except me. I mean I love him, but only as my best friend. 

- You need to find friends and this is the perfect way to start with it. If you want I can leave you and stay aside and if somethings happens we can go home. You no need to worry about me. It won't be the first party from which I go early, but this is a story for another day. I won't lie that I don't know all the people who will be there, but some of them I have seen at other parties, so you can trust them. I will tell them to go easy on you. So to ask you again. Will you come to one party with me tomorrow night?

- Well I guess I have no other choice. Ok, I will go, but promise me that you won't get drunk or at least not that much because I won't carry you home. - I said which made him chuckle

- I promise. Let's think about what we'll have for dinner. I am starting to get hungry. 

- Mom and dad are not home so we can eat every junk food that exists. We can order pizza and meanwhile go shopping for something sweet. What do you say?

- That you are the best friend that I have ever had. 

We ordered a large pizza and I went to take money. We walked out and went to the nearest shop for food. After good thirty minutes, we bought what we need. Most of it was candy and chips. I am looking forward to this night. 

We just entered the house when I heard the front door. I was about to open, but Scott was faster. He took the pizza and paid for it. 

- Why did you pay for it? I was going to do it. 

- Because I won't let you pay this as well. You paid a lot in the store. 

- Ok, I don't want to argue with you. 

Both of us sit on the couch and play the movie. We decide to watch Avengers. I have always loved superheroes. After half an hour most of the pizza was gone. I guess we were hungry a lot. When we finished it, we decide to take a break, before we continue eating. I didn't know that I had so much space in my stomach. 

- That was delicious. The chef did a great job, but I think that I ate way too much. - Scott said

- I don't think that it's only you. Look at that. - I said, pointing at my belly

Scott leaned and put his ear on top of it. I have no idea what is he doing, but it's funny. 

- Um, Scott what are you doing? You look like an i***t. - I laughed

- I think that the baby kicked. After a couple of months, the baby food will come. Don't worry, I will help you with it. You can count on me. 

I took a cushion and throw it at him. No one dares to make jokes about my belly, but that was a huge mistake because he pulled me close to him and start tickling me. How I hate this. Now I can't stop laughing. I hate him so much. Scott will pay me for this. I won't leave the things like that.  

- Please stop. I can't breathe. Let me go. - I said laughing

- Nope. That's what you get for hitting me with the cushion. I need revenge. 

- Didn't you get it already? Please stop. I don't want to laugh anymore. 

- Then stop. No one made you do it. 

- But I can't stop, because of you. We can watch another movie and eat something else. Please stop.

- Ok, I will if you cuddle in me during the whole movie.

- I think I can handle it. 

Until the rest of the night, I was cuddling in him, how he wanted to and we ate a lot of food again. Scott fall asleep in the middle of the third movie, so I had to wake him and tell him to go to bed. I cleaned the little mess, which we made, and went to sleep as well. I have to admit that since a kid he sleeps really cute. I get in bed, kiss his cheek and fall asleep. This was one of the best nights which I ever had and they are not much.
