My brothers best friend

Chapter 15: Jamie

My mom woke me up around 11AM. I only got like three or four hours of sleep because of my jet lag, so I was extremely tired but I also didn't want to sleep the whole day long. I was excited to be back even though I also missed seeing the beach out of my window.

I turned in my bed. The sun was shining into my room, which I always loved so much. I've always loved sunny days, they always made me smile. But I also needed rainy days sometimes.

I picked my phone from my bedside table, to check if I had any new messages. I had one from Lizzy and another one from unknown..

Lizzy 

Hi Diana, how are you love? Me and Lucas are coming over later, you need to tell us everything that happened in Italy!! See you xx

Hi Lizzy, I'm great what about you? Can't wait to see you, I missed you so!! xx

Hey Diana, I just wanted to tell you that my birthday is this Saturday and I'm throwing a party at my house. I would love if you could come! Oh and I'm Matt by the way ;)

My heart almost dropped because I weirdly thought it was Alex at first. I smiled at Matt's text. The way that he really thought about inviting me to his birthday party just made me happy somehow. 

Hey Matty! I would absolutely love to come to your birthday party!! Can't wait to see you then!

There was one problem though... I knew Alex would also be there. Things were just so complicated between us and I hated it so much.

I decided to get ready and after that I went downstairs and we all ate breakfast together. It was very lovely to be all together again. 

Me and Cody told our parents everything about our time in Italy. Well almost everything. Of course we didn't tell them, that I went to the hospital or that I got a food poison, but we told them the other stuff we did.

I also told them about my polaroid camera, that Alex got me and then I showed them the pictures I took.

"Wow Alex is a really nice guy, honey" I heard my mother say as she was looking down on the pictures.

I was nodding my head. Hearing my mom say his name, made me feel some type of way I couldn't explain. When she was done looking at the pictures, my dad took them.

"How old is he?", he wanted to know after a while. 

"He is my age", said Cody as he shoved some pancake into his mouth. "Why?"

Mom and dad looked at each other for a while.

"What's wrong?", I said confused.

My mom started laughing.

"Nothing, your dad and I just- nevermind. Eat your pancakes honey", she said smiling to herself.

Mine and Cody's eyes met. I could see that he was just as confused as I was. Weird.

When everyone was done with eating, I helped my mom clean the dishes and went upstairs into my room.

When I entered it I saw that my phone was ringing. I quickly jogged to my desk and picked up my phone. It was Lizzy.
