Cupid's assistant

Chapter 13

When we got home after a long day of listening to crazy women ooh and aah over other crazy women in the bridesmaids dresses, I ran up to my room and quickly started on my homework. I was almost done when I heard a knock on the door, "come in," I yell expecting it to be Simon or Hannah but that wasn't who opened the door and walked into my room.

I stood up startled and surprise, then I became worried. Why is she here? Why did she bother to come here instead of just call or text me? "Mary! What are you doing here? Are you alright? What happened?" I asked my beloved friend in an obvious worried tone.

She shakes her head and walks over to me hugging me, "I'm so confused Sophie. I don't know what to do." I hug her back not saying anything until she releases me. We go and sit down on the bed together.

"Mary what's wrong? Btw I will gladly beat someone up for you." She smiles a little and takes a big breath.

"Well I have had something bad that has happened to me and something confusing. Which one do you want first?"

"I guess we should hear the bad first to get it over with." I say and pull her close to me in a comforting embrace.

She leans into me and sighs, "ok, well so Tanner texted me..." I automatically groan at the mention of our once friend until he turned into a complete ass hole. "He told me that he loved me and I told him that he didn't because he has been telling every girl that he is close to that he loves them. I told him that he didn't because he can't love multiple girls at one time and that he needs to get his facts straight. He then said that I was breaking his heart and that I was a... bitch. Then he started to call everyone that is close to me really bad names."

"Oh, Mary... what did he say?"

"I don't feel comfortable repeating it..." She says then sighs, "One of the things he said was that Jacob just wants Alana because she is his ex and you are a tease." I gasp, Jacob isn't like that and I am not a tease!

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!" I scream, "THIS IS SO NOT OK! Oh, Mary I am so sorry that this happened to you. Please ignore him, block his number, beat him up, do whatever you need to do. But don't you dare listen to him! He is wrong! Tanner is just a douche bag, don't listen to him." I beg her, she nods and leans into me some more as I stroke her shoulder length brunette hair.

"Now all that's left is the undecided news." She said, "it's about Peter." I force myself to not let out a delightful cheer. Instead I nod for her to go on. "Yesterday you said that there was a flirtatious look and I said that there was no such thing, well I think that there was. Ever since that one night when he asked for help on his homework we have been texting nonstop and not about math. Then today he sat next to me in class instead of in the back. He has been saying the cutest sweetest things to me. Every time he says or does something like that my heart flutters. I have my phone around me 24-7 incase he texts me. Sophie I've never felt this way before. I'm scared."

The last part caught me by surprise a bit, "scared? What are you scared of?"

"A relationship, I've been hurt too many times by guys that I was but wasn't in a relationship with. Sophie I'm scared of the way I feel about him. I don't even know if my parents will let me date."

"Sweetie who said anything about dating? I mean y'all just started to act like this, give it some time. If he does ask you out later or you think that this might lead to that then you should talk to your mom. Also remember that this is Peter, Peter isn't like Tanner or any other guys. Peter would never hurt you or anyone else on purpose."

"Yeah I know. So what's up?" She says looking around awkwardly.

"I was just finishing my homework, but that can wait. Do you want to stay and hang out? Or do you have to go back home?"

"I should really go back we have the Hale family game night tonight." She says getting off the bed and I follow her.

"Gosh, I am so jealous of your family. Have fun and say hi to your mom, dad and Maribela for me." She says that she will then leaves. When she leaves I take my phone out and text Peter.

Me: Whatever your doing keep doing it. I think Mary likes you! You are doing something right my friend.

Peter: Haha ok. Wait you really think she likes me?

Me: I am almost certain.

Now that this match is looking promising I think that I should probably get to work on the Courtney and Kevin project. Well all three of us are in the same history class and Mrs Hill knows about me being Cupid's assistant and is willing to help. I think I'll pay her a visit before class.

Speaking of tomorrow the wicked witch east Texas comes back from her "girls weekend." So I should probably go downstairs and spend time with everyone with out the horrible presence of my mother. I go downstairs and find my dad sitting on the couch watching tv. l go up behind him and wrap my arms around him.

"Hey, papa bear. What are you watchin?" I ask as I jump over the couch and flop on it.

"Big Bang theory," he says and then I shut up and sit up and my dad and I snuggled up watching our favorite tv show. I eventually feel half asleep on my dad's shoulder, I felt him get up and lay my head down on one of the pillows and put a blanket over me. Later I felt myself being lifted up and carried bridal style. I open my eyes a little and see that it is Simon carrying me. He carried me to my room, laid me down on my bed and pulled the covers over me. That was the last thing I remembered before my long dreamless sleep.
