My Brother's Best Friend Is My Mate

Chapter 37: Laughter

After a few minutes, Alex puts me out of my misery completely by telling me humorous jokes that crack

me up. I haven't laughed like this in a while and it feels refreshing. "Well, I'd better get going. I have

school early in the morning." I tell Alex. He seems dismayed by this news but offers to walk me up to

my room, which I gladly accept. "I'm so sorry for what happened today at the mall." I apologise for the

second time on account of my best friend. Alex waves it off, like the gentleman he is even though From NôvelDrama.Org.

Spencer was being obstinate and violent towards him. I thank him for his kindness and step into my

room, closing the door behind me. I'm a bit surprised I actually found the room I'm staying in because

this house is so big. The next morning I'm up at exactly 6 o'clock, I shower and get dressed in a few of

the clothes Spencer had given me. "Good morning darling." Sarah's voice greets me as I step into the

kitchen. She's wearing a beautiful dress that fits her pretty face and without lying she looks stunning. I

send back an equally friendly greeting to Liam's mom, complimenting her on her beautiful dress.

Spencer enters the kitchen

looking like the walking dead but Sarah tells her how beautiful she looks. "I have to get going now,

because I have some stuff to do at Barbara's house but I'll see you girls later." Sarah leaves as

Spencer and I eat the breakfast she prepared for us both. Spencer drives us to school, sticking close to

me like my body guard/ bestfriend. I observed that some of the students had started treating me better,

most of the teachers even made me get away with not doing the homework that they gave last week.

Even Miss Williams let me off the hook when I couldn't answer one of the questions she asked in class.

Everyone was acting strange, but my day went so much better than any other Monday I had ever have.

After school, Spencer and I decided to go downtown to get ice cream and food at one of our local

diners. I couldn't wait to rub it in Liam's face, nothing had gone wrong and we were going home in one

piece. No one had confronted us today, not even shotty Vanessa and her minions. It was too good to

be true. In the diner Spencer seemed uneasy. "What is it?" I asked, worried. My best friend has been

acting too weird, even for her. "Nothing." She lied, then when she saw my narrowed eyes she quickly

told me the truth. "I have a strange feeling. Like someone's watching us." Spencer admitted and started

to look around. "Let's go then, I don't want anything bad to happen. Today has been going so good." I

told Spencer and she nodded. We both left a huge tip at our table and left to go home. On the way out

two huge men stopped us. They seemed familiar but I could not identify them no matter how I tried. "

Can we speak with your friend?" One of the men asked, motioning to me. Spencer shook her head

fiercely. "No thanks. We have to get going." Spencer tried to move between the two men, her hand

latchedon tightly on mine. "It'll only be for a few minutes." One of the men stopped us again, creating a

barrier from our car. "Just a minute." Spencer turned her back to the men. "They're suspicious and

there's no way I'm allowimg you to go anywhere with them." Spencer whispered hurriedly. I frantically

looked at the men behind us, then at Spencer. "What are we going to do then?" I asked Spencer. For

an answer, Spencer held my hand tighter than before and took off sprinting away from the men, with

me closely behind her.
