Play The Game (A One Direction Fanfiction)

35

Chapter 35:

~(Jade's POV) I re read the text about thirty times. My thumbs did a little dance, trying to figure out what to reply. I can't go out with him after what happened between Louis and I, could I? I mean...I could. I wouldn't deny Louis if he asked me for a date. 'I'm free. When are you going to pick me up? -J', I responded. I took a deep breath, pacing my room. Holy shit. I'm going on a date with Niall Horan? Is this really happening? The guy that's been bullying me for weeks, months! My phone buzzed in my hand and I rushed to open the message. 'I will pick you up at noon. Just grabbing some lunch at Nando's. -N,' he responded. He's making this sound casual. That's a good thing right? It's not necessarily a date. Just a lunch out with a friend. 'See you at noon. -J' I responded. I threw my phone on my bed and sat in the corner, face in my hands. What if Louis finds out? He wouldn't think this was just lunch with a friend. He's going to hate me even more than he already does. Fuck. I slowly strolled and plopped onto my bed on my stomach, facing my laptop as a blank screen of white paper appeared. I started writing and I realized that my essay had many more emotions than I thought it would. Sure, it's persuasive, but I didn't realize I was nearly pounding the keyboard with my fingers until I heard a knock at my bedroom door. "Come in,"I said. "Jade, I'm home and dinner is ready if you want some," said my mom, peaking her head around my door. "Thanks Mom," I said, running a hand through my hair anxiously. "What's wrong, hun?" Asked my mom. "Just...tired," I said back, walking down the stairs to the lasagna awaiting me. Just as I grabbed a plate there was a knock at the door. "Get that for me, I'm getting in the shower," yelled my mom from upstairs. I put my plate down and headed to the door. When I opened it no one was there. I looked around into the cold night, no sign of anyone. I thought it was just a prank until I saw a teddy bear on the porch, holding a little heart with a note attached.
