love stories aren't for everyone

Chapter 22

ANNA'S POV:
As soon as I get home, I'm lectured and moaned at by the guys.
"How could you be so stupid to go by yourself?" Simon shouts.
"He didn't hurt me" I shout back.
"But he could of! Are you actually stupid?"
"Simon! Cut her some slack!" Josh shouts at Simon.

"I just wanted answers. And now I have them. And he's also locked up, no thanks to you, but thanks to Serena and her brother"
"No thanks to me? What does that even mean? I have done nothing but help you, and this is how you repay me?" He shouts once again.
"Repay you? Repay you how? Why does no one understand that I only wanted answers! Stop giving me grief! Shouldn't you be happy that I'm safe now?" I stand up, facing up to Simon. He just looks around with anger written all over his face.

I scoff and storm upstairs.
Now that Damon is gone, I'm gone.
From this house.
I pack up my things until Simon comes in to stop me.
"What are you doing?" He asks.
"What does it look like, dickhead?"
"Don't leave" He tries to stop me.

"Just fuck off Simon!" I pick up my suitcase and walk to the door.
"Anna! Don't leave! Please!" Josh begs.
"I'm not leaving, I'll just stay with one of the girls. But I just need some space. Am I allowed to do that, or are you going to stop me simon?" I stare at him and he looks guilty.

I sigh and leave, ignoring the calls for me to stop. And I end up leading myself to Tiggy's, as she is the nearest.

"You have to understand where they are coming from though" Tiggy comforts me.
"Yeah I do. But it's really annoying when Simon is so clingy and making sure I'm safe. He keeps making the decisions for me"

"Can I stay here until I get on my feet? I'm not going to the Sidemen house. I just wanna stay here until I get a job and I can afford a flat at least"
"Why do that when you can just live with me?" She smirks.
"What?"
"This is my flat. I live here no one else, just live here with me"
"Ok then!" I hug her.

SKIP A FEW MONTHS:
So I haven't really spoke to any of the Sidemen, mainly Tobi because he comes over to see Tiggy.
Last time I spoke to someone was JJ, and that was a month ago.
I have gotten myself a job, just so that I have money in case. I've been working in Debenhams in Westfield. And I'm earning quite a lot.

I've kept all contact with the girls and our bond is going strong.
I haven't spoke to Simon if you are wondering, why should I make the first move to talk to him?
And I'm pissed at him.

"Anna! Come on we need to go!" Tiggy shouts at me.
"Coming!" I yell back.
We are going to meet up with the girls and some of the Sidemen.

"IS Simon going to be there?" I ask her.
"I don't know. Sorry"
"Oh shit"

We get to Tobi's.
"Annnnnnnaaaaa" Tobi hugs me.
"Tobiiiiiiiiiiiiii" I hug back.
"Hey babe" Tobi kisses Tiggy (tiggyycrawford hopefully that makes you feel better😢🙈❤)
"Hey" She kisses back.

Part of me thinks that could have been me and Simon if he hadn't of reacted the way he did.
The door goes, and all the girls, JJ, Josh,  Vikk, Ethan, Harry, and Simon walk in. Oh no.

"Oh my god Anna!" JJ screams.
"Oh my god Jidlepuff!" I scream back.
"Josh, Vikk, Ethan Harry!" I greet them all.
"We've missed you so much" Josh says.
"I've missed ya'll too"
I look at Simon and he smiles at me.
"Hey Simon"
"Hi Anna"

The guys record some videos, and we decide to join in.
They are doing a helium challenge in Tobi's flat.
The guys are going to be doing the challenge, and us girls are going to hit them with eggs if they laugh.
The order is:
Tobi, Ethan, Harry, Simon, Vikk, JJ, Josh.
Then us girls standing behind them:
Tiggy, Mia, KK, me, Aisha, Sam, Serena.
Of course I had to stand behind Simon.

Simon does his intro.
"Yo guys, and welcome to the Helium Challenge Part 2 with the Sidemen and the girlfriends"
Well, I'm single, Simon's single. People are just going to ask if we are together.

During the challenge, so far Ethan has got the most eggs, because he has laughed at everything.
Harry says something funny that I don't hear, and everyone laughs.
"Simon laughed" JJ points at him.
"NO I DIDN'T!" He laughs and looks at me.
I grab an egg and hit him hard.
"Anna! Why you do this?" He sadly looks at me.
"Sorry" I tap his head lightly.

Once we finish the video, the guys get cleaned up.
I go to get some water from the kitchen when I bump into Simon.
"Hey" He says.
"Hi" I take a sip of my water.

"So how have you been?" He asks.
"Good. You?"
"Good"

"Have you heard anything about Damon?"
"Serena's brother says he'll be going you court soon. And I also need to go, just to give my side"
"I'm sorry about what I did. I didn't mean to push you away-"
"The past is the past Simon. I'm still a little pissed at you, but I'll get over it soon"
