Poppy pulled away and I frantically wiped my tears. I could see the clear guilt written all over her face. She apologised and I yelled, "Don't you ever leave like that, Poppy! I was so worried."

I noticed a tear slip through Poppy's eyes as she mumbled, "I thought nobody cared about me."

"Don't you dare say that. Of course we care about you! You're my baby sister."

Ted's friends along with Poppy and I were gathered at Ted's basement. It was a bit cold here but there was room for everybody to fit. I conversed mostly with Ross and Rachael since Ted had gone to bring drinks for us. Poppy was busy mingling with Bobby. Both of them had a lot of common interests which didn't suprise me at all. Both were big flirts but I hoped that they didn't go beyond friendship.

It's not that I was a jealous sister who couldn't witness her little sister's happiness but I was worried. I didn't want the incidents that happened between Phar and Poppy to repeat. I didn't think that Bobby was any where near Phar and his intentions didn't seem bad either. But one thing was common between them, was their age. And at this age, one could trust nobody.

I got up and grabbed Poppy's arm. She frowned at me and I excused us from Bobby. I dragged her away from him.

"You're just fourteen, I thought you learnt a lesson from what happened with Phar," I hissed.

"I did and Bobby's a nice guy. What could he possible do to me?" Poppy asked and our heads turned towards Bobby. He was lazily plopped on the couch, his lips pouted like a cute, little duck and was busy with the remote. We watched him closely and realized that he was pretending that the remote was a toy car and was driving it over the pillows, which served as obstacles for the car. I shook my head and bit back a smile.

"You've got your answer right there," Poppy pointed out and I sighed wearily.

An hour passed by, we were watching the Twilight and I had already seen it a million times! I was always on team Edward.

I yawned and stretched my legs and that very moment, I caught Ted staring at me. My wide yawn stopped halfway as I gaped at him. I swallowed my yawn and stuffed some cheetos into my mouth.

Ted got up and approached me. Ross and Rachael were cuddling or probably asleep on the couch, Nick and Poppy were intently watching the movie while Bobby tried to seduce Joe.

"Be my Bella, Joe," Bobby cried as he kissed sloppily on Joe's cheeks.

"Gross, Bob. Stop with this shit," He said with disgust and pushed Bobby away. I laughed lightly when Bobby rolled his eyes at Joe.

"Want to get out of here?" I suddenly heard Ted whisper. He was leaning behind me and I could feel his breath fanning on my neck. I shivered due to a weird sensation in the tummy.

"Yes, please," I whispered back. I quietly got up and surprisingly, Ted held my hand. I didn't say anything as we quietly slipped out of the basement without anybody noticing us.

Do you ship Bobby with Joe or Poppy?
