"This is funny huh?"
"No it's just--" he burst into laughter again like he has been doing for the past 5 minutes nonstop. Laughing so hard that tears began to ran down his face yet he kept going. Once he stopped, he'd look at me for a while and then burst again.
"I'm glad you are having fun" I said clearly furious at this point. He stopped for a moment and stared at me. Probably the longest he has been still since my fall.
"Do you need help?" He asked. I stared at the hand he had stretched out to me and then back to his face.
"No thank you"
I tried to stand up and keep myself straight but immediately slipped and fell into the pool again and the laughter I knew he was trying so hard to keep in burst out again.
I guess my whole life is a joke now.
"I can't... I have to..." He was out of breathe - can you imagine?
I knew Jason Tyler had different sides to him but who would have thought he was a laughing maniac. And more annoyingly, his smile was so pretty it made it hard for me to be mad.
I saw him reach into his back pocket for his phone and I immediately knew what he was about to do.
"I swear to God Jason--" before I could finish, I slipped and fell again in an attempt to get up. This is getting nowhere.
"I have to, this is too hilarious to not record"
I let out a frustrated huff refusing to try again as I watched him recording how messed up I am. Maybe this is my life now till I die, to be a laughing stock to the world.
"So now you're just gonna sit there?" He asked after some minutes of capturing. I rolled my eyes and brushed wet hair off my face.
"What do you care? This is all your fault"
"Technically, it's yours but I said I'm sorry, it's not everyday you get to hear that"
"You're an asshole"
"Well that's new" he chuckled this time.
Why the hell does he take me as a joke? Oh wait, you're sitting in a fountain soaking wet right now. Okay I get it.
"So do you need my help out or not? You can't stay there forever, imagine what people will say." He spoke like he was speaking to a five years old child.
"I don't care. They are gonna talk anyway when they see me out wet. Look at me. Is this an outside look?" He watched me for a while before saying.
"You're right, you should just stay there, I don't want you ruining my car either"
Surprise! surprise! Jerk ass Jason Tyler just said that to me.
"This is really my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to come with you"
"Woah, regretting already?" I closed my eyes and took deep breathes trying to calm down and ignore the fact that there was a shower of water over me and a pool under.
Just take a deep breathe Julie. Count backwards from ten.
"You know, there could be a solution to your problem"
Eight, seven
"We could get a cab... just they might not also want you in their car"
Five, four
"Oh, the solution has been right under our nose"
Three, two.
"The costumes"
