Jealousy Game

Josh and I are friends again

I wake up early in the morning. I take a quick shower changing into jeans with a v neck t shirt. I walk out of my room making my way to the kitchen. "Good morning." Oliver smiles when he sees me walk in.

"Good morning." I smile back at him grabbing a cup then filling it with orange juice. "Any plans today?" He asks me. "Sophia, Cooper, and I are going to get stuff for tomorrows rehearsal dinner." I tell him.

"We also have to finalize a few things for Saturday." Sophia says. "I hope you don't mind but Josh is tagging along." Cooper says walking into the kitchen.

"It's fine I don't mind." I shake my head. Bryce walks into the kitchen with Riley shortly after. "When are you going to move in?" I ask her. "Today." She laughs.

"Good it's about damn time." I smile at her. Bryce laughs looking at Riley. "I told you." He says. "You didn't tell me anything your sister was the one who had to convince you to tell me to move in." Riley teases Bryce.

"She's not wrong." Cooper agrees. I nod in agreement as well. "So are we all ganging up on me now. Is that what it's going to be like from now on." Bryce looks at all of us. "You can bet on it." Riley nods.

"I knew I liked her. You picked a good one." I high five Riley. "My sister and girlfriend against me. At least make it equal. One of you has to be on both sides." Bryce shakes his head.

"No can do big brother. Sorry not sorry." I smile innocently. Bryce rolls his eyes again when Riley and I link arms. My smile visibly drops when Josh walks into the kitchen.

"Alright let's go we're on a timeline." Sophia says looking at Cooper, Josh, and I. "Be careful. Bring my sister back in one piece." Bryce tells Cooper.

"I promise." Cooper nods. The four of us walk out of the kitchen heading to the front door. I get into the back seat of Coopers car, Josh gets into the car next to me. I put on my seatbelt then look out of the window.

Cooper drives to a gas station near the house. "I'm going to get something to drink. Do you guys want anything?" Sophia asks Josh and I. "No thanks I'm good." I answer. "I'm okay thank you." Josh responds.

Sophia get out walking away from the car with Cooper. "Brooklyn I" Josh starts to say. "No Josh. I meant what I said the other night. It's better this way. Going our separate ways has been good for both of us. Let's keep it that way." I say not looking at him.

"Are we really good though?" Josh asks looking at me. "Yes." I lie looking at him. "It's better if we keep staying away from each other. Not talking to each other." I add.

"Brooklyn I don't want too." Josh says looking at me. "I'm done talking about this. Us having any type of relationship is like a ticking time bomb. It will explode any minute and no one can stop it. This is how it will be from now on." I shrug looking down at my hands.

"So that's it. You don't want to at least try to be friends." He asks. "We tried and look where that got us. We don't work." I look back at him. "What did we miss?" Cooper asks getting back into the car with Sophia.

"Nothing." I shake my head looking at them. "Okay." Sophia says giving me a look. I ignore her look leaning back against my seat. The rest of the ride Josh and I don't look or speak to each other.

"First venue we're looking at is a restaurant with a private room for parties." Sophia says when we arrive at a restaurant. I get out of the car looking at the restaurant.

"Isn't this where you told your parents you were getting married?" I ask Sophia. "Yeah. It is." She nods linking her arm around mine. We walk into the restaurant once Cooper and Josh get out of the car.
