Friend-zoned Roadie

"So what you're saying is, the most popular dude in school was trying to talk to you, but you stormed away." Bella remarked before popping a banana popsicle back into her mouth.


We layed there on my bed, listening to Nirvana songs and a little bit of Soundgarden. Black hole sun was playing in the back ground on my big old stereo . My walls were black, my favorite color.


We lay on my bed, in our shorts and old T-shirts. We just layed there, and sadly talked about Jackson.


Bella and I are laying on our backs, eating popsicles and staring at the ceiling.


I flip over to lay on my stomach and stare at Bellas eyes.


"Mr.Popular's mouth isn't so perfect, Bells." I said, biting the top of the popsicle off.


Bella groaned and rolled over on her stomach , like me.


"Hannah, you need to loosen up. In life, guys are gonna be idiots."


I sit up on the bed and start wiggling my toes through my black, rubber flipflops.


"I'm going to go get us some popcorn."


Bells rolled back over on her bed and tossed the popsicle stick in the trash can next to my nightstand. She just nodded and i started to walk through my kitchen.


I grabbed out some popcorn and it started popping as I stared out the kitchen window. I heard my mother come into the kitchen and felt her arms hug around me. "Hey Hannah banana, I'm going out tonight I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be with Dean."


I cringed. Dean. Her boyfriend. I tried to tell my mom he slapped me in the face for not handing him a cigarette from my mom's purse. She doesn't believe me.


"Yeah, okay mom."


She left just like that. Once the popcorn was done I opened it and poured it into a bowl, but before I could walk away , my door bell rang.


My family never rings the doorbell.


I put the popcorn bowl on the counter and go to open the door, when I look through the window while going to the door. I couldn't believe my actual eyes.


Jackson Daniels.


I hesitate if I should open the door or not, but I really was curious of why he would be at my front porch. More importantly, How?


I swing the door open in anger and lean my body to the right while crossing my arms.


"How did YOU get here"


Jackson had his arm leaned on my door, his face smirking. He laughs and just walks in my home without invitation. He sits down on the kitchen bar chairs and smiles.


"What the hell. How did you get to my house. You can just come in-"


He just laughed and picked up an apple from my mom's fruit basket and bit into it."School records, duh."


I paused. "You can't-" she got up from the table and backed me into a wall.
"What- stop!"
He pinned me to the wall like a bug and just smirked at me the whole time.


His cold breath hitting my face. Seriously, how is his breath always so cold. The fumes of his cologne shut me up , as mint from his breath filled my nostrils. E puts on hand on back, making me naturally arch. I smiled at his presence but then grew angry.he can't just treat me like every other whore he picks up at school. I start struggling again


"Get off of me." I yelled as I freed myself and brushed myself off.


He backed away, and then started laughing like crazy. I was so annoyed. He really thought that was funny. I hate him.


"What do you want, Jackson?"


Jackson smiled at me and leaned against the wall. "I'm going to California for two weeks." He ran his hands through his perfect hair.


I cross my arms and lean on one side of my body. "What's your point?"


He kind of laughed and then shook off his thoughts. "I want an interesting roadie.someone who I can talk to and somebody who won't bore me."


I laughed saracsitcally, "you barley know me! What the hell are you talking about?"


He started to fill me in on more of his details. "I just think youre so interesting. I would never get to know you if you didn't go with me, Hannah."


"That's not exactly a way to get to know people." I remarked.


He told his head and sarcastically smiled, "Yet, it's my way. Why are you so nervous, it's not like we're going to sleep together. I'd never want to sleep with you."


My insides felt like they started to rot.  Did he really just say that. Why wouldn't he want to sleep with me anyways? I mean it's not like we were going to sleep together , but am I ugly or something ?


"Get out, now."


He laughed, "what did that make you mad. I'm sorry I just wanted to make it clear-"


I pushed him out of my door and stormed back to my room.


I told her everything , because that's exactly what Bella needed to know. He's crazy.


"Well would you go, anyways?"


I was angry, but I couldn't lie . If everyone saw me with Jackson , I could finally be known.
"Bella, I don't know."
