Chapter 15

~Rose's POV~~

Our heads snap to the cute young pizza delivery man standing at the door with a purple glittery cardboard box in hand and a mini 'Get well soon' balloon. My mouth drops open. This cant be happening.

"Yes yes, bring my precious over here." Laura says with a goofy smile, her tears long forgotten.

He looks at a piece of paper in his hand then walks closer. "Get well soon my precious jewel." The pizza delivery guy says  cutely and pecks her cheek. I sat there with my mouth still wide open, not blinking.

"Oh Rose, I was definitely going to share with you but please close your mouth." Laura laughs and I immediately snap my mouth shut, feeling embarrassed.

"Thanks for the pizza, cutie!" Laura calls out just as he was leaving and he smirks before exiting.

"Laura, I can't believe you a-"

"Pizza?" She says innocently and I just couldn't resist the smell so I dig in. We continued to talk about prom and all the free stuff I have access to now that I won prom queen.

"How long does it take to talk- YOU HAD PIZZA WITHOUT ME!?" Lewis shrieks and stomps over, grabs the pizza box and I could've sworn his eyes teared up for a second. "How could you..." He whispers trying to eat the small crumbs left.

"Oh what ever. Just go and order one yourself." Laura says rolling her eyes and Lewis's childish behaviour.

"Mum and dad are here by the way." He says and I get up to leave to give her some family time. I sit on the seats outside her room near Kyle who seems to be on his phone.

"Hey." He says not looking up from his phone.

I stare at him, remembering the truth about him. I sigh and close my eyes, feeling tired from not being able to sleep the night before. I'm starting to regret knowing the truth about him because honestly, knowing he isn't actually your so called 'bad boy', I noticed that I may have developed a tiny crush for him. I'll admit I was attracted to him before, but that was it. Just attracted to his looks because come on, who the hell wouldn't be!? I bet even lesbians will be running after him! Heck if I was a lesbian, I'd probably turn straight just to run after this hot piece of human! 

Okay maybe I exaggerated a bit, but I was trying to get my point across. And now knowing he isn't the type of person who I promised I wouldn't fall for, is making it even harder to not like him.

I stare at the side of his face, admiring the strong jaw line and how adorable he looks with his focus on his phone. I smile to myself.

"Why you smiling like a creep for?" Kyle suddenly questions, interrupting me from my fantasy about him.

"I was- you know-" I start out nervously and mentally curse myself. What is wrong with me? Why cant I talk?

Laura and Lewis's parents suddenly come out of the hospital room. "Oh hello Rose. How are you?" Laura's mum, Julia, asks kindly.

"I've been good thanks Julia, what about yourself?" I reply back, unaware of Kyle walking to see Laura.

"Oh you know, the typical parents worrying over their daughter only to find her eating pizza and her other twin sulking in the corner for not getting any. You know, the usual." She jokes and I laugh whilst her husband scoffed.

"Can you believe your daughter?" Laura's dad exclaims angrily.

"She's your daughter too, silly!" Julia laughs and gently hits his shoulder. "Well we better get going,  I have to return to work dear, so take care of Laura for me." She says and I wave goodbye as they both walk away.

I walk back to Laura's Hospital room to ask her when shes leaving only to stop in my spot with wide eyes. I fist my hands and try to hold in my tears. I turn around and stomp off, unable to hold back the tears as they began to spill furiously down my cheeks.

I cant believe he's kissing her! He doesn't even like her for crying out loud!

"Woah wait up, Rose!" I hear someone call after me and I stop to quickly wipe my tears.

"Hey are you okay?" Lewis questions worriedly and out of breath.

"Yeah of course silly." I fake laugh and hit his chest, though he doesn't look convinced.

"You can fool yourself and the whole world Rose, but you cant fool me." He says softly, coming closer and stroking my cheek, wiping away the tears.

"I uhh- what...?" I say, my voice hitching in my throat. Why is he so close...

"What happened?" He asks, staring deeply into my eyes like he'll find answers.

"Uhm...just worried about Laura?"

He sighs, knowing he wont get anything out of me and decides to drop the subject to which I'm grateful for. "Lets just get back to school, we're missing out on classes and exams are coming up."

After an odd lesson in Biology when trying to dissect a frog only for one to jump around crazy, clearly not dead yet, Lewis and I head out for lunch.

"GUESS WHO'S BAAAAACK!" Laura's voice booms loudly, not helping with the headache I currently had.

"Ugh, shut up before I shove Lewis's foot down your throat." I threaten as I glare at her. This was just our typical greeting. We have an odd friendship you can say.

"Hey! Why my foot?" Lewis says disgusted.

"Because you have the biggest feet." I reason, noticing Kyle pull a chair out, sitting next to me.

"Sup Chi Chi." Kyle smirks at me whilst I roll my eyes and ignore him. I just really cant imagine him with blue eyes and glasses.

"Whats wrong with you?" The hot piece of potato next to me asks to which I still ignore.

"Her frog ran away during Bio." Lewis answers.

"Awh, I can buy you another one if you want." Kyle teases and they all laugh like traitors!

"Shut up!"

"Whats crawled up your ass lately?" Kyle mumbles.

Only my period. "Something you'd be jealous of." I reply back unconsciously only to start coughing, not believing I just said that.

Kyle starts patting my back whilst Lewis hands me his drink. Fifty coughs later, I was glad that I was still alive, but I realised Kyle's hands were still on my back, rubbing soothing circles, creating a trail of pleasurable tingles.

I grit my teeth and exhale deeply, trying to calm myself down. How dare he touch me! I stand up abruptly and knock my chair down as I stomp off back to my dorm.
