y/n pov

it was eight thirty and we started on our way home. when we got to greg's we went straight up to his room, avoiding rodrick at all costs. i texted my mom saying him and i were fighting and if he asked where i was not to tell him. she agreed and said she hopes we work it out. we were sorting candy on the floor of greg's room when the banging began on the door. "greg where is she!" greg ushered me under the bed and opened the door "she isn't here rodrick. i can't believe you" he pinned greg to the wall. "why in hell would you show her that?" rodrick screamed, greg rolled his eyes "you know why" "say it!" "because i love her rodrick! and you-you just want to hurt her!" 

i gasped and covered my mouth. rodrick looked at rowley and growled at him "where is she." rowley shook his head, rodrick walked over to him and before he could get any closer rowley yelled "under the bed, please don't hit me!" fucking rat. i was silently crying when i saw rodrick get down and look at me. we made eye contact. neither of us said a word and he reached for me and i flinched. this feeling was horrible. he scoffed and got up "fuck this. you guys are childish as hell" he stormed out slamming the door. i came out and sat on the bed. "y/n it's okay, you have us." i smiled. "i know but i just- i want to know why."

i got up and walked to rodricks room. i knocked, no answer, i knocked again "what?" i heard and jumped a little, i opened the door and peaked my head in, he stared "c-can i uh.. come in?" he nodded and i walked in and closed the door. i stood against it as i spoke "you took advantage of me. you knew i liked you and you just w..wanted sex" i looked down and he walked over, grabbed my chin, and lifted my face up to meet his. "i need you to trust me" i nodded "when the guys first saw you they thought you were hot and wanted ethan to try to get with you. i didn't want him even trying because you're so just.. innocent. i knew it'd work. so i said i'd do it. they didn't know, but i've liked you since i was like ...ten. i didn't want them to hurt you so i lied until the time was right. then i tried to play it cool but scott got jealous i was the only one with a girlfriend and he sent the video to greg. that's why all we've done is kiss. i don't want to pressure you." 

i looked into his deep brown eyes and i let out a deep breath. "i believe you." i smiled and he hugged me, i hugged back. he was so soft. "so you're my girlfriend still?" "yes of course, come get some candy? i don't eat it." he nodded and we held hands and walked to greg's room. greg rolled his eyes and rowley smiled "you worked it out?" i nodded and we sat in a circle. i was in between rodrick and greg. they looked through the candy and took what they wanted and i sat patiently waiting.

when they finished, rodrick kissed me passionately while flipping greg off and i kissed back. i melted like chocolate to his touch. he always had the upper hand, but i don't think he realized it yet. when he walked out i smiled "what?" greg shrugged, "so what lie did he tell you to fix it?" "he said he's liked me since he was ten and it wasn't his idea to use me. he said it was michael's and that ethan was gonna do it but he knew i'd go with it and wanted to make sure i didn't get hurt." i shrugged. "maybe he's telling the truth greg?" rowley butted in "no i don't think so. i'll figure it out but for now, we should go to sleep. we're going to the pool in the morning!" i smiled and went downstairs and slept on the couch. not as comfy as greg's bed but it works.

i was woken up by rowley and greg shaking me violently. "dudes are you crazy? it's like ..seven in the morning!" i rolled over and they pulled me onto the ground. i rolled my eyes and sat on the couch, crossing my arms. i was wearing a black tank top and red plaid sweat pants. no bra and it was freezing due to the ac. i crossed my arms to cover my chest and tried to play it cool. "well we wanna get there at nine and since you take forever to get ready we decided to wake you up early" i put my hands down to my sides. "first off, i take a normal amount of time to get ready, second off, it's a ten minute drive? and third, if you ever wake me up by literally dragging me off of a bed, don't expect to wake up the next morning. thanks guys." i kissed my hands and patted their heads, then i walked upstairs into the bathroom.

i was brushing my teeth and a half asleep rodrick came in. "hi my love" he smiled at me as he spoke and kissed my head "hey b-babe" i spit my toothpaste out mid sentence. he sat down on the toilet seat and smiled at me. "isn't it a bit early for you to be up mr. heffley?" he laughed. "greg woke me up and said he needed a ride. he said you'd be in a bikini and i wasn't gonna let him drool over you, at least not alone." i laughed, "such an asshole rodrick, such an asshole. now out so i can change." he walked out and i put on a strappy y/fc bikini top and bottom. then i put black high waisted jean shorts over my bottoms and todricks shirt over my top. i put on black flip flops and pulled my hair into a loose ponytail. i walked out and down to the living room where my boyfriend was waiting with greg and rowley.

"you really do take forever. you look beautiful though." rodrick got up and put his hands on my hips and pulled me closer. i wrapped my arms around him and he kissed my forehead. "my beautiful girl" he whispered. i smiled and we shared a small kiss. "uh gross. my best friend kissing my brother? how fun." we laughed and grabbed our stuff and walked out to rodricks van. we got in and drove to the pool. there were some other families already inside and we soon followed. i scored us a table in the shade and put all our stuff down. i set up and then rowley and greg were in the pool. i sat at the table and put sun screen on. rodrick sat with me and just watched me. he looked so sleepy. cute.

i stood up and took my shirt and shorts off. rodricks eyes widened a little and greg stared at me. i walked over to rodrick and kissed him on the cheek. "c'mon lover boy, let's go swim" he nodded and i walked slowly to the pool. then from behind he ran up, grabbed me by the sides, and jumped with me in his arms into the pool. everyone laughed and i swam to the side. "rodrick heffley you will be the death of me." we laughed and played pool games for about two hours. then i got out and sat at the table. the pool was pretty packed now. i popped some earbuds in and listened to music. i grabbed a book and opened to the page i left off on. rodrick came up and started talking but soon realized i couldn't hear or see him. he grabbed the book and i looked at him, pulling the earbuds out of my ears.

"hey! give that back!" i stood up and reached for it, he held it upside down and raised a brow. "how do you read this boring shit?" i rolled my eyes and snagged it, turning it the right side up. "i start by holding it correctly." he laughed and we sat down. for a while, i just read. he leaned his head on my shoulder and watched as i turned pages, continuing the book. his hand was gently rested on my thigh, every so often he would move a little, causing my face to redden. when it was time to go, i sat in the passengers seat and glanced over at my boyfriend. he was beautiful. his shaggy brown hair was perfectly laid out on his head and his eyes were glistening in the setting sun. when i got home, i laid in my bed and thought about how nice today was.
