Happy little accident by ME! (most popular novels TXT) 📕

“ I’m such an idiot” I laughed even though I was hurt, I didn’t want to show him that I was weak.

“You are not an idiot bug! Don’t think like that, I don’t care if you cry in front of me, we were best friends. I'm always, always going to be here for you Grace.” How did he know I felt stupid for crying. That was weird. It made me feel a whole lot better to hear those words come out of his mouth, it made me feel special.

“Grace! Jamie, get your butts down here!” Mia called from the hallway.

I wiped the remainder of the tears from my eyes, and headed downstairs. My mom and Mia were sat at the computer looking at the wedding pictures, so I sat next to Max on the sofa. I saw a photo hung on the wall, it was of me and Jamie as kids at my auntie June’s wedding. Then next to it was the one Jamie had asked for, it was almost identical; except the obvious fact that we both had aged. I walked over to take a closer look. “Wow, that’s so weird.” I whispered to myself. Jamie walked over to me and whispered the same thing. I looked at him and gave a slight giggle. If felt so good to be so close to him again, it’s like we’ve never been apart.

“Ah I think it’s about time we head home. Gracie you’re going to have to drive, because I have had one too many.” She waved her finger in my face and laughed. I gave her a grumpy look. “ Oh turn that frown upside down! It’s not like the worlds ending my little cherub.” She pinched my cheeks.

“Please, stop talking. C’mon let’s see if you can make it to the car.” I grabbed her arm and dragged her to car, she stumbled a little but she just leant on my for the support. “ Thanks for having us Mia, the food was great. Bye Max! I’ll see you tomorrow Jamie.” They thanked us for coming and waved us off.

Getting my drunken mother out of the care was the hardest thing ever, she was like a dead weight and she wasn’t even trying to walk. I can’t believe she’s drank this much, its only 9pm! I took my mom straight to bed, I tried to put her gently in bed but the weight was too much for my arms and she just slumped down. This day had been stressful, what I need is a shower and my good friends Ben and Jerry. I had to rush in and out of the shower because Katie said she had important news that was too long to text. When I got in bed I called Katie.

“What’s up Kat?”

“OH MY GOD GRACIE YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!” I literally had to pull the phone away from my ear that’s how loud she was. “So, I was in Chem. and guess who is my partner for the entire semester? Jake Reed! We have a science project together, which means he will be at my house! Dude I can’t even.” She was lost for words, this was a first.

“Aw I’m happy for you Kat!” I tried to sound like I care, but I hadn’t the energy.

“Enough about me, how was your night? Did you and Jamie get it on, is that why you sound exhausted? You naughty devil!” I knew she was teasing but I couldn’t be bothered to say something sarcastic back.

“So funny Kat. But I’m going to get going because I'm tired and I’ve had a hectic day, see’ya later Kat.” I hung up to early so I didn’t hear her reply, but I could tell she was in another world now anyways. She had got a step further to her crush, and mine just friend zoned me for the billionth time.

As soon as I hung up, my phone buzzed. I was going to ignore it but I saw the name on the screen ‘Hey bug, I hope your okay, I did my best to cheer you up. Keep the t-shirt as a memorabilia for when I’m famous;) I’m glad we’re back to normal, I missed my best friend. Anyways night bug. Xxx’ He felt the same as me! He had missed me! My mood just went from zero to a billion within 5 seconds of reading the text. Should I text him back straight away, or leave it a little? No, I don’t want him to think I'm ignoring him but I don’t want him  to think I'm clingy.

 ‘Hey J. Yeah you cheered me up a lot, thank you. You need to ignore Dan too, he’s all mouth and no trousers. Oh how I’ve missed your ego;) Me too, I really did enjoy hanging out with you again. Night Jamie. Xxx’ I closed my eyes and sent the text, my heart pounded right until it said the message as sent. I decided to wait until the morning to read the reply, so I switched my phone of. I went to sleep excited for the day ahead. My life is now back on track, finally!

Chapter 3

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and extremely happy. Yesterday wasn’t a very good day, but it ended leaving me with a smile and a clear conscious. I didn’t check my phone straight away, just in case he didn’t he didn’t text back, I didn’t want to be disappointed. I checked on my mom, thankfully she just had a really bad hangover that needed bed rest. Least I wouldn’t have to deal with her 20 questions when I got home from school.

Once I’d finished getting ready for school, I finally plucked up the courage to turn on my phone. I shut my eyes until the noise letting me know my phone was on played. He did text back, it was an hour after I text him, but at least he replied. ‘Sorry if you’re sleeping but when our moms go to the spa weekend, I’m having a party on the Friday, well it’s more like a gathering but yeah, you can bring Katie too! I’d love if you could make it.’ I decided to reply in person, seems more appropriate. I had to pick Katie up today, so I set of early.

“Hey Gracie, thanks for hanging up on me last night.” Wow, someone was grumpy this morning.

“I’m sorry, but I know how to make up for it.” This managed to get her to look at me. “ Guess who got us invited to Jamie’s party Friday night!” I had my ‘don’t-be-mad’ face on, and she couldn’t resist to smile.

“Are you serious! Oh my god, I forgive you for hanging up on me, even though it was a time in history!” She hugged me, and made me swerve the car. “Oh shit sorry, just so happy right now! My life is like Justin Bieber amazing!”

“Well my life's pretty good too, aside from the stalker ex-boyfriend that won’t leave me alone.” I let out a sigh. I’d like to think Dan would find someone else, who would occupy him enough to stay away from me. Maybe I was asking too much, but a girl can wish. As I pulled into the school parking lot, I saw Jamie stood by his car. He must have seen my car approaching because he waved, Katie and I both returned the wave. I stole the parking space next to his. I didn’t realize how close my car door was to Jamie, so when I opened the door, I almost knocked him to the ground.

“Oh shoot, Jamie are you okay? I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize how close you were!” I jumped out the car faster than the roadrunner.

“Ha, yeah bug, sure you didn’t see me. Your just getting me back for making you spill spaghetti down your new shirt!” He rubbed his side with a playful tone to his voice. “No, I’m fine honestly.”

“Now you have a memorabilia of me!” I winked at him, Katie just stood look confused at our conversation.

“Yeah Gracie, Jake’s waiting for me over  there, I’ll catch you later!” Katie had already left before she finished the sentence. I was left to walk alone with Jamie. I decided to break the silence by telling him I would love to come Friday.

“So I got your text, I’d love to come Friday. Should be fun.” I tried not to sound too excited about it, I tried playing it cool.

“Great bug! I’m glad you can make it!”

The day seemed to go by so quickly, and it was lunch before I knew it. Oddly, he came and sat with me at lunch, maybe because he felt bad that I was on my own, but hey who’s complaining. Dan was sat on the table opposite, staring at me and Jamie as we talked. He seemed to notice because after a while he put his arm around me and whispered “play along” in my ear, so I did. It wasn’t just Dan we were pissing off, Charlotte was staring at us too.

“You do realize Charlotte’s staring at us too you know?” I said playfully, acting on it because I knew we were being watched.

“Oh I know, it just makes this more fun.” As he turned to look at me and our noses bumped, that must have been it for Dan, because he came stomping over knocking everything in his path. Jamie and I immediately jumped up.

“Dan, dude chill, it’s just a joke!” Jamie tried to settle him but it made him worse because he pushed Jamie.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING WITH HER?” Dan’s fist were clenched tight by his side. I decided to interject before things got ugly.

“Hey would you drop it Dan! You were the one that ended out 2 year relationship, Jamie and I are friends I didn’t act this way when you hooked up with Stacy! I’m nothing to do with you anymore. So piss off and stop making a fool out of yourself. It’s embarrassing.” A small crowd had gathered around me, Jamie and Dan.

“Fuck off Gracie, you wanna know the truth, I cheating on you for the whole second year of our relationship because I couldn’t stand you. The only reason I stayed with you was because you’re hot and it made me more popular. ~Jamie, you’re welcome to the boring bitch.” I was humiliated, everyone was looking at me with pity, even Jamie. I couldn’t cope so I ran to the girls bathroom and locked myself in the cubicle.

“Gracie what happened?” Katie knocked on the cubicle door. “Jamie’s in the principal’s office, they got into a fight..”

 “What?” I opened the cubicle door.

“I walked in the cafeteria and Dan pushed Jamie, then Jamie punched him and they started fighting. Cara told me you were in here, what happened?”

“Dan said that he cheated on me for a whole year with Stacy, I’m so humiliated.” I cried on her shoulder.

“Then he deserved that ass-whooping Jamie gave him, the bastard.” She hugged me. “You know what we need? And shopping spree, it’s the party tomorrow, and we gotta show Jamie what he’s missing! And I’m pretty sure we haven’t been shopping in a while, it is much needed.” Her eyes shone it the mention of going shopping, she loved shopping, especially with me; she once called me her Barbie doll because she could dress me up.

I liked going shopping with her, she always knew what to look for, I was just clueless. I mean, I know what looks cute
