Chapter 11
I woke up with a pounding headache. I remembered that Bellamy would phone in sick for me so we could have a day in. Dragging myself out of bed I changed into my grey converse trackies and shoved a black tank top on. Shoving my hair into a ponytail I grabbed some fluffy socks and ran downstairs and headed straight to the medicine cupboard.
"How are you feeling?" Bellamy asked boiling the kettle, he was also wearing grey trackies and a white tee.
"Headache." I replied taking some paracetemol and grabbing a glass of water. "Have you phoned the school?"
"Done." He smiled as I took the pills and downed the water. "What do you want to watch first?"
"I don't mind," I smiled shrugging a little.
"Come on Gretch," Bellamy moaned.
"Fine! We'll watch...The Conjuring first, then The Nutty Professor, Tangled, World War Z and finally a James Bond film of your choice." I demanded.
"Great," Bellamy laughed as he handed me a mug of tea. I made my way to the sofa and snuggled up against Bellamy with a duvet over the pair of us.

"I'm shitting myself..." I whispered holding the duvet up over my face.
"I've figured." He laughed.
"Its not funny, jerk." I peered up at him.
"So I need to tell you something..." Bellamy started.
"Oh my god, please don't tell me you have a new slut," I rolled my eyes.
"Her name is Victoria and she's not a slut, and no its not about her." Bellamy glared at me. "Its about Mum and Dad."
"Oh shit." I sighed face palming.
"They've decided to stay this weekend to check up on us and see how we're doing," Bellamy informed.
"Do they not trust us or something?" I complained.
"No its not that, its just that they feel bad for leaving us most of the time."
"I know but I don't care because I have you." I smiled at Bellamy.
"I know kiddo." He hugged me.
"Don't call me that." I frowned.
"Whatever," Bellamy laughed "So shall we move onto the next film then? You pussy."
"Hey shut the fuck up! You don't like The Walking Dead, so if anyone's a pussy its you!" I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Ok fine I surrender!" He held up his hands in defeat.
"I need to pee." I said standing up and hurrying to the bathroom upstairs. Once I finished up I popped into my room and checked my phone. I had over fifteen missed calls and thirteen texts all from Nathan. They just read 'Please pick up Gretch.' 'I'm so sorry Gretch' 'I need to talk to you'. Sighing I put my phone down, I would reply to him later, this day was just for me and my brother.

"I can't believe your seventeen and still like Tangled." Bellamy smirked at me.
"Shut up." I shot back as I watched the credits roll.
"Finally an action film!" Bellamy stood up and bent down to the dvd rack. "Time for World War Z," he smiled.
"Wait for the song to finish." I complained standing up and throwing the duvet to the floor.
"What?" He looked over his shoulder at me.
"I like this song!" I smirked then I started to skip round the room singing 'I see the light' at the top of my lungs.
"Alright alright! I get the point!" Bellamy tried to shout over me. The song finished and I fell back into the sofa. "I swear your not my sister..." Bellamy chuckled.
"You love me really." I smiled. I watched Bellamy put the dvd in the machine when the door bell went.
"Ding dong.." I mimicked "The doorbell went."
"No shit." Bellamy laughed "Go answer it."
"I can't I'm supposed to be ill," I smirked holding my hand to my head and pretended to faint dramatically.
"Open the door you nutter!" He chuckled.
"Fine bossy." I rolled my eyes as I trudged to the door. I opened it to reveal a very stressed looking Nathan.
"Nathan..." I whispered.
"Gretch, listen just hear me out I-"
"Not today." Bellamy stood behind me and tried to shut the door.
"No Bellamy...just give me a minute." I smiled up at him.
"You sure?"
"Positive." I nodded as he kissed my forehead and walked back inside.
"Listen Gretch, I'm so sorry for what my brother did last night. You don't know how badly I wanted to go after you last night but my mother said that you just needed time and space..."
"So you come the day after and you call that time?" I folded my arms across my chest.
"Gretchen I'm sorry. I knew having you stay for dinner would go badly..." Nathan ran a hand through his hair "Look I shouldn't even be here..." He took a few steps back.
"What do you mean?" I asked automatically stepping forward.
"My mum grounded me for what I did."
"What punching your brother?" I asked rolling my eyes but when I looked at him again I saw guilt flash across his face "Oh my god what the hell did you do?"
"Beat the shit out of him. I saw you running away from the house and that's when mum stopped me and I went back to Kendall and..."
"You didn't have to do that..." I whispered feeling guilty.
"I did." Nathan answered. "Kendall is sorry for what happened too, he was drunk and he kept saying he'd never make a move on you sober." Nathan explained.
"Its not the fact that he tried to kiss me..." I said.
"Then what?" He asked as he clenched his jaw.
"It doesn't matter. I'm over it." I lied. There was a short silence.
"So are we good?" Nathan asked with that cute half smile he does.
"Of course." I smiled as I leapt on him to give him a hug. He laughed in the crook of my neck.
"Can I come round tomorrow?" I asked.
"Um Gretch-"
"I just want to clear the air so there's no awkward tension." I pleaded.
"Fine." He sighed "I have to go, but I'll see you in school tomorrow." He smiled giving me a quick hug before backing away to his car and driving off.
"What did that dip shit want?" Bellamy asked shoving a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.
"He's not a dip shit." I rolled my eyes "and he came to apologise and explain and its all good now. All is forgiven and in the past."
"If that's what you want Gretch."
"It is." I nodded "Why are you having cereal now?" I glanced at him then the clock.
"Are you the food police?"
"Nope."
"Then you have no right to question me," he grinned. I rolled my eyes my brother was a complete twat at times.
