The New Girl

"John you can't drive, it's too late!" I said loudly as John tried to open the front door.

"Katie, will you please just unlock the door?" He asked frustrated.

"No!" I said loudly again. "Can't you see I'm trying to help you?!"

"How is stopping me seeing my family helping?" John spat at me.

"You need to sleep, it's half twelve." I informed him.

"I'll be fine." He said bluntly.

"Think about it John! You're tired, more accidents happen when you drive tired. Plus, by the time you get to your grandma's your family will be sound asleep." John sighed in defeat. "Just... Stay tonight and I'll drive you up tomorrow." I offered.

"I don't need you to babysit me." He said staring at the ground.

"I'm not babysitting you John. I'm being a good girlfriend." I said with a sigh.

"If you were being a good girlfriend you'd let me go!" John said raising his voice again. I glared at him.

"FINE! GO! GET IN A FUCKING CRASH. SEE WHAT THAT DOES FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!!!" I shouted before going to unlock the front door.

"I'm not going to crash Katie." He said as he opened the door. "Who would care if I did anyways?" He mumbled.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" I shouted after him as he began to walk towards his house.

"What now Katie?!" He shouted back.

"No one would care if you crashed?! Do you fucking hear yourself?!" I shouted, so fucking pissed off.

"I hear myself fine, and I can hear you as well as the whole neighbourhood." He said snidely.

"You're such an asshole." I said, my voice turning into a whisper. I turned away from him and where we were stood in the middle of the street. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him even though I squirmed trying to get him to let go.

"I'm sorry." He said with a sincere smile that he knew I couldn't resist. I sighed as he hugged me. "I just... Don't know how to deal with this." He said honestly.

"C'mon, you're staying at mine tonight." I ordered, John opened his mouth to protest. "No buts." I added firmly.

"You're a pain in the ass, you know that right?" John said with a laugh as I dragged him over to my house once again.

"Yeah, I know." I said with a grin as I pulled him back inside.

****

"So how do you plan to drive me to my grandma's when you have school tomorrow?" John asked as he observed me changing into my pj's. I shrugged as I held my t-shirt in my hand.

"Skip it I guess." I said simply. John shook his head with a sigh. "What?" I asked as I put on my t-shirt.

"I don't want you to miss school because of me." He said with a guilty look spread across his face. I sighed and crawled onto the bed with him.

"I'd rather be there for you when you need me than at shitty old school." I said as I curled up to him.

"I just... don't want your dad thinking bad of me." He said as he ran his fingers lightly through my hair.

"Why do you care what my dad thinks?"

"Why do you care what my parents think?" He retorted.

"Touché." I said with a grin. John chuckled lightly and my head rose and fell with his chest. "What you laughing at loser?" I asked with a smile as I prodded his side.

"Your accent." He said with another chuckle. I frowned.

"What about it?" I asked skeptically as I looked up at him.

"I just never noticed how cute it is." He said looking down at me with a grin.

"My accent cute? Jeez. You're is fucking lush." I said with a laugh before I blushed realising what I'd said. John brushed my cheek with his thumb before he pulled me closer to him and kissed me lightly.

"I love you." He said staring into my eyes. I blushed and bit my lip.

"I love you too." I said before kissing him again. "Now can we get some sleep, asshole?" I joked with a giggle. John nodded before leaning over and turning the bedside light off.

"Thank you for sticking with me. Even when I'm a pain in the ass." He whispered into my ear as he held onto my waist tightly.

"I love you stupid." I whispered with a giggle.

"Even when I'm a pain in the ass?" He whispered.

"Especially then." I whispered back with a smile, although he couldn't see it.
