You'll Find Us Chasing The Sun...

Part 4 - Yeah. That's the Thomas Parker...

*IMOGEN'S POV*

Time has moved on since I broke up with Max.

But it still hurts and I still can't bare to be in the same room as him. I still can't bare talking to him. And I still can't care seeing him happy with Taylor.

It breaks my heart every single time I see them together. It just reminds me that I used to be that happy with him. Makes me realise everything that I have lost. And, the worst part is, that neither of them care. They don't care how they've made me feel at all. Taylor still seems to think we're bestfriends.

That's possibly the funniest thing I heard her say.

Still bestfriends.

She lost that title the day she jumped into bed with Max.

She will never be my bestfriend again.

But as I've already said. Time has moved on since then. Three months if you want to be precise. I'm slowly moving on from Max. But it's who I'm moving on with which seems to be causing problems for people. Some seem to think I'm doing it deliberately just to get my revenge on Max. Some even say that I'm only using him for my own gain - don't see how that works since we're not even together yet. We've just met up a few times. Been spotted by people on almost every occasion that we've been out. But he doesn't seem to care.

He just seems to be enjoying life and taking what it throws at him.

I should probably tell you who I'm going on about.

I've been seeing Thomas Parker.

You know, him who makes up another fifth of The Wanted. Max's bestfriend who he spends so much time with. Him who is known for sleeping with as many women as he possibly could in the space of one night.

Yeah.That's the Thomas Parker.

Now you see why there has been so much trouble about it. Why people think I'm only using his for my own gain. Why people think I'm only seeing him to get revenge on Max - even though I've told people that I no longer care what Max does with his life. If he is going to sleep with cheap blondes when he gets bored with his girlfriend, then that's his business and not mine. He is free to do what he wants. It's not me that he's going to hurt. It would be that bitch of an ex-bestfriend.

And, when that happens, I will be the one laughing at her.

Yes. I am that immature. I am that pathetic. And I am that childish.

Today I was meeting with Tom again. We were going shopping and then he was going to treat me to lunch. He always did that. Bought me things when we went out, even though I told him that he didn't need to. He never listened to me. Just went and bought me things anyway; mostly jewellery. I never really complained. I simply told him that he shouldn't have done it. He would always tell me that he wanted to do it.

It's like, when I was with Tom, all my problems disappeared. I didn't remember any of the bad things which had happened and I just had a good time. He made me feel like I was important, like I actually mattered to him. He treated me like I was a princess while also keeping me safe and making sure no one else touched me. I enjoyed his company and, when I was around him, I felt something that I never thought I would feel again.

I felt happiness.

And it was a happiness that I wanted to feel all the time. But I knew that was never going to happen. Me and Tom were only friends having a good time. It was never going to become any more serious than that. Tom had too much a stake. He would never risk his friendship with Max for me. He would never risk the reputation of the band for me. He would never change his ways just for me.

We were always going to be friends.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

But it was better than nothing. At least he was helping me to move on and he was making me happy. I guess that's all I can really ask for with Tom. I shouldn't expect anything else to come from this friendship and I shouldn't expect anything more from Max after the way that he has treated me.

Tom was my future. Max was my past. That was all I needed to know to keep me going right now.

****

Sorry that this isn't that interesting and sorry that it's another short part. There is some more interesting things to look forward to though, I promise aha. And I will try to write to write longer parts for all you lovely people. Still, I do hope you liked this part anyway. Despite it being crap.

Thanks to people who are reading.

Love to all of you,

Em :)xx
