Heartbreak Girl (H.S) (New Girl Sequel)

Chapter 20: Phone Calls & Mean Girls

Ivy's POV

"You little shīt. We've only talked once since you left for London," Olivia squealed as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Sorry," I chuckled. "Things have just been a little crazy."

"I saw on Instagram, since apparently that's the only way I can find out what's going on with my best friend. Like who the hell is Ben?"

I blushed, "Ben's just a friend."

The line lit up with her screaming in excitement, making me laugh. Her screaming was stopped as soon as I heard something crash and break.

"You found someone?" She squealed.
"Not exactly.."
"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean I'm just not fully recovered from Harry. He had been a big part of my life. I've only been here around a month."

"Girlfriend, you need to show Harry that he doesn't own you anymore."

"It's not that easy," I mumbled.

"Ivy, I love you cause you're one of my best friends in the entire world but right now you're being dumb. Harry moved on within days. He doesn't care about you so why should you care about him? He screwed you over."

"Yeah," I mumbled.

"Just think about it. By the way I'm looking forward to see more photos of you and this Ben guy. Just by his profile picture on IG I can tell he's to die for gorgeous."

"He is," I blushed.

"Talk to you later Ivy. This phone call is costing me a fortune."

"Talk to you later Livy," I chuckled.

When my limo that Ben had hired for me pulled up to the event, I found him standing by his limo waiting for me.

There was a red carpet with paparazzi set up and everything.

As soon as the limo was stopped, Ben rushed to beat the driver to open my door for me.

"Such a gentlemen," I playfully squeezed his cheeks.

Ben rolled his eyes at me and blushed.

"You looking stunning. Hell, you look better than stunning."

This time it was my turn to blush at his words. His eyes took in my floor length navy blue dress that had a slit on the side to show off my legs that were still tan from California; the top of the dress was sleeveless but had big jewels from the top to my waist.

"Ready for photos?" Ben asked.

I nodded and let him lead me to the red carpet with an arm wrapped around my waist.

As people snapped pictures of Ben and I, I tried my best to smile but the nervousness inside me made it almost come out like a serious look.

"Smile, they're trying to capture your stunning looks," Ben whispered in my ear.

We walked down a little bit so some new people could snap pictures.

This time Ben rubbed soothing circles into my back as we both grinned into the flashing cameras.

"I think that should be good for tonight. You ready to go in?" He asked.

I nodded and let him lead me into the building by holding onto my hand.

We found our seats in no time and were surprised when we discovered that Ben's mother, my boss, had arranged for us to sit in the front row by the stage.

Our hands broke apart just as we were about to sit down.

"You should be back stage getting ready to model, you're more gorgeous than all of them combined," he complimented me.

I blushed as we sat down in our some what comfortable seats.

Ben reached over and interlocked our fingers together.

Maybe Olivia was right? Maybe it is time I move on from Harry? It makes me sick how fast he moved on, but it won't change the fact that he did.

I pulled my phone out and pulled up Instagram- my most used app if you haven't already noticed.

"Picture?" I suggested.

Ben grinned and nodded in agreement.

"Silly or serious?" He questioned.
"Silly," I grinned.

Ben instantly posed in a creepy double chin going on face while I went for a duck face with my eyes closed.

I snapped the pic and the results were hilarious.

"This is so getting posted," I laughed.

-We make a such attractive pair don't you say? @beninja #runwaymodels #youcantsitwithus-

"Did you for real just make a Mean Girl's quote?" He raised any eyebrow.

"You've watched Mean Girls," I gasped.
"Duh, one of the best movies ever."
"You're like my favorite person right now," I gasped in excitement.

"Right back at you," he winked.
