Valeria's P.O.V.

*DING*

"Who is it?"

"It's probably Liam," I wait to finish my sentence to Jessica to pull my phone out from under the massive number of blankets we had over us.

I check my phone and sure enough, it's my best friend Liam,

Li: "Hey Val, my mum is on her way if you still want to come over for dinner x" @18:45

Me: "Okay, I'm at Jess' house watching a movie. I'll be there in a few xx" @18:46

"Yeah, he was just letting me know that-" I began explaining the text before Jessica cut me off.

"You're gonna leave? The movie isn't over yet." I look up at her from laying on her chest between her legs and realize she was looking at my phone. I sit up to face her before responding.

"My love, you saw for yourself since you were spying on my texts," I chuckled trying to lighten the mood, feeling the tension growing between us, "I told him I'd go over after finishing the movie, besides it's almost over."

I sit straddling my girlfriend, who has an upset look on her face. Her eyebrows are furrowed, she is mindlessly twirling her long straight blonde hair around her finger out of anxiety? Why would she feel anxious or this upset?

"Babe, tell me what's wrong." I try pulling her hand from her hair into mine to soothe her, failing in my attempt. Now I'm the one getting anxious.

"Jess, I need you to tell me what's going on, you're scaring me..." Her silence only provokes my mind to going to the farthest extremes of my thoughts.

"It's just- you've just been hanging out with Liam so much lately." Jealousy? That's what this is about?

"Jess..." I take a deep breath before continuing. "I am with you; I don't have those feelings for Liam. He's my best friend and I hang out with him. You know how my family life is, it's rough. And Liam's family has always been there for me. I need you to understand that. He's my best friend and he is a part of my life." I say rather sternly, not liking the direction she's taking this in.

"It's just, since you told me you were bisexual... I don't know, I just can't help but think you're hanging out with him because you secretly like him." She goes silent at the end, but her tone is rather judgmental.

"I thought we were past this, babe," I try and soothe her thoughts going to grab her hand again, but she pulls it away from me yet again.

"-I'm just not comfortable with it." Now I'm really sitting back.

"With what? Liam? Me hanging out with him? You know we've been practicing to-"

"No no, I understand you need your friends outside of our relationship. And you've just been hanging out alone with Liam so much lately, I've just had more time to properly think about the situation. I just don't feel comfortable with the fact that you could leave me for ehm, for a man..." I didn't even realize till she finished the sentence that my eyes were filling with tears and that I had been slowly backing away from her holding a blanket to my chest like a child.

"Alright," I stand up quickly to leave, "that's my queue to go." I get up hastily pinking up my phone and black vans not even putting them on in my haste to leave before I started crying.

Suddenly I hear her footsteps running up behind me, "Val wait-"

I stare up at her towering figure above me. I can't think to do anything but shake my head in disappointment.
