The Middle Man

Exposed

After me and Kian's late night discussion, we decided to fall asleep. To clarify, I did sleep next to Kian in his bed, but nothing happened. In the morning, he was going to be out till noon while I was up at 10 so I decided to just make myself breakfast. To my surprise, when I walked downstairs, all of the boys were sitting there. They stopped and stared as I walked into the kitchen.

"Oh fuck." I muttered to myself as Ricky dropped his fork in shock.

"Wait what the hell are you doing here-" JC yelled as Connor sat next to him, motionless. The 5 boys at the table just muttered the same thing I said and passed glances.

"Did you and Kian..." Trevor started.

"No no no no!" I shook my head, "I just fell asleep here nothing happened." I reassured them grabbing a pop tart and making my way to the door. Kian, with major bed head, walked down the stairs earlier than expected.

"Why are you leaving?" He asked approaching me and holding my hand.

"It's kind of awkward here," I told him letting go and brushing through his messy hair. I needed a shower and my bed, but I didn't want to say that all to him like I was making excuses. "I love you." I said kissing him on the cheek.

"I love you too, and hey don't you need a ride?" He said yawning.

"I can walk, it's all good!" I told him leaving through the front door.

I walked home and spotted a familiar boy skateboarding straight toward me. Right away, I knew it was Drew, just who I wanted to see on a morning like this.

"Hey Rosi, nice to see you here" he said sarcastically with a smirk.

"Hi, I can't talk, I need to be getting home." I told him taking a bite out of my blueberry pop tart.

"Did you come from the O2L house?" He asked picking up his board.

"Yeah."

"Seems early Rosi, I'm guessing you slept there? I can sense the walk of shame from miles away." He said, like a creep. What I would do to just knock him right in the face for a comment like that.

"I have to go now. Please leave me alone." I said starting to walk away.

"I don't think your mom would be happy with the fact that you and Kian slept together" he said, making me stop in my tracks and turn around.

"I didn't. I always sleep on the couch since I didn't want to go home to an empty house. You don't know shit." I said officially leaving.

How can a guy talk to someone like that, no dignity or respect for privacy at all. He needs to get over himself because I've been done with him for a while now. And bringing up exposing me to my mother? I was nervous, even though I had no true reason to be, Kian and I didn't;t do anything. But I knew Drew to manipulate any story. This wasn't going to end well as long as he still tries to ruin me.
