The atmosphere at SwayHouse had been great for two days. Everyone but me was happy to see Josh Richards come back. On the other hand, I kept trying to avoid exploding and wasting everything I thought about him.

Our entire squad was currently sitting at the huge dining table. We discussed many topics. For my part, I couldn't concentrate on any words spoken in my direction. In my mind there was still the sight of him in the living room, greeting the boys, when after six months of silence, he suddenly decided to come back. I couldn't deal with these thoughts.

- Nessa - I heard someone whispering to me - Can I ask you for a moment?

It was Josh. He was looking at me with those charming eyes that actually looked sad. He watched my reaction, which clearly failed him as he lowered his head down.

- Okay. - I don't know why I agreed, but I understood that sooner or later I would have to talk to him anyway

We got up and he led me towards the games room. He closed the door and stood in front of me, trying to make eye contact with me. He was silent. As if he didn't know what to say at all. I decided to do it for him and speak up first.

- What do you want?

- I ... uhmm. I would like to speak with you.- He ran a hand through his hair, then rubbed his neck with his hand

- Oh, about what?

- About us. - he said uncertainly

- Listen bro, we are gone. There was me, you, having fun and what apparently only I thought was true love. Then you decided to run away suddenly without informing anyone. You left me alone with a total blank in my head and a nervous breakdown. Now you are back. End of the story. - I gestured lively

- Love was on both sides. - he replied softly

- Look, I don't care now. Let's pretend there was never anything between us. For yours and mine. Thanks for the conversation, bye. - I replied dryly, then as soon as I could left and ran towards Cooper's room, hoping that he would be there

I jerked the door open. My teary eyes saw Sab lying on Cooper's bed looking at something on her phone. As soon as she saw my expression, she immediately stood up and ran to me, immediately hugging me to her.

- What happened? - She whispered stroking my hair

- You don't even know how damn hard it is for me to Sab .. Everyone is so happy to see Josh come back. They enjoy the time spent with him, while I am having the worst time. I have to tell you something. The same day he disappeared, I had a conversation with him about our future together. I saw his confusion then, so I decided to go out for a walk and give him time. But then that asshole suddenly disappeared without informing anyone about it, leaving me alone. All these months I suffered terribly . And suddenly he comes back and acts like nothing has happened. - I said, wiping the single tears down my cheeks

- Ness, I don't know what to tell you. I can guess how much you've been suffering, and I'd feel terrible if Cooper did something like that. What are you gonna do now - She looked into my eyes and her hands took my cheeks

- Isolate from Josh. I will try to forget about him completely. - I sighed heavily

- I believe in you beautiful. You are stronger than anyone else. You can do it! - her words motivated me a lot

* Next day *
That night my girls and I stayed at SwayHouse. Each of them slept with their boyfriends, while I lay down on the mattress next to Cooper and Sab's bed. In the morning I was awakened by a light tug on the shoulder. I opened my eyes to see Jasper next to me. He was showering, his hair was still wet, which made him even look sexy. The boy, despite all my protests, took me in his arms in the style of a bride and began to carry me to the dining room for breakfast. Everyone was there already. Josh looked suspiciously at the two of us. I ignored his insistent gaze and i try to focus on Jasper.

- Hello friends of the laziest person in town! - Jasper greeted, looking at me

- Fuck you Jasper!

- You know who I can fuck? - He looked at me carefully, making a flirty face

I chuckled, then sat down between Addison & Mads and went straight to eating my meal. I could feel that one person's eyes on me. The person I was trying to forget, but he clearly wouldn't let me.

- Dixie, Noah, When is your wedding? - Josh asked suddenly

- It was supposed to be in July. However, we decided to postpone the date until December. Our wedding will take place on December 11. For the rest of the details, ask Noah. - Dixie answered him

- It's good that you have been planning it for so long, and not like some people who surprise with such confessions. - He looked at me with such sharp eyes

- And it's good that they're not cowards who run away from everything like little babies, because they are afraid of talking.- I replied in the same tone

- Who wouldn't have escaped if he had been attacked so suddenly? - he hissed

- However, if that person had listened carefully to the other person's words, they would have known that there is no compulsion, just a dream. - I looked him straight in the eyes trying to hold back the tears

All our friends were confused and watched the whole situation. This time, neither of them knew what to say or do. There was an awkward silence.

- How about a little football game in the garden, boys? - Bryce decided to end this situation

All the boys gladly went to the garden, where they skillfully prepared a playing field. A few minutes later, you could hear their screams. I sat on the couch resigned, and then turned on some music channel on the TV to cheer myself up with some songs.

- Wow, how do you provoke each other.. - suddenly Quinton sat down next to me, who was bored with playing football

- I'm not provoking him

- No? What was this situation with Jasper?- he mocked

- Nothing.

- Nothing? So I should to believe you this wasn't to annoy Josh at all? - he continued

- Me and Jasper get on very well. And I'm not gonna play any games annoying my ex. Besides, why would that irritate him?

- Who likes to see someone important to you in the company of another person with whom they feel a hundred times better than with you.- my friend's face was as serious as never before

- I'm not going to provoke him in any second. I have my life, he has his. - I insisted on mine

I could see from his eyes that he didn't believe me. Actually, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know if I really like Jasper that much. My life has gotten so damn complicated that I don't know anything at this point. I grabbed my car keys and decided to go to my mom's for the weekend. First, however, I drove over to our girls' house, from which I took some of the most necessary things.

I found myself in front of the door of a place where I had been gone so long. I knocked, and after a few seconds my mother appeared in front of my eyes. She was very happy to see me, she hugged me tightly, pulling me inside. I took off my shoes, set my suitcase aside, and then headed towards the kitchen that smelled of spaghetti.

- You dont even know how glad I am that you visited me, my daughter! - Mom said, stirring the sauce vigorously in the pot

- I missed you

- I missed you too. - She smiled sincerely - Tell me, what's up with you?

- Let's say my life has become very complicated lately. - I sighed, leaning my hand on the table

I told my mother about everything. The woman showed me great support, which I missed very much. Of course I had a lot of help from my friends, but that is not the same as "mom's support and advice."
