Tiffany's POV
I woke up with a massive headache and someone knocking on my door "What?" I called out rudely
"Tiff, it's me Jo..... can I come in?" I huffed as I got up and walked over to the door
"Is anyone with you?" the last thing I needed was Drake to me here and using her to get to me.
I frankly didn't want to know or hear anything about him right now and Rusty wasn't far from it as well "No, it's just me" she whispered through the door.
I unlocked it and peered through the small crack and looked. It was just her "Hey" she said softly
"Can I come in?" I nod and open the door only wide enough for her to come in before I slam it shut and locked it again
"Tiff, what the hell is going on?" I turn to look at her and she sees my face
"OMG Tiff, have you been crying?" tears swell up in my eyes and I nod.
She rushes over and wraps her arms around me and I cry. I cry so hard I made her shirt wet, she hushed me and stroke my hair "I'm such an idiot Jo" I shake my head as she walks me over to my bed and we sit down
"Tell me what happened?" I look up at her through my tears and say
"He fucked Dakota in front of me like I was nothing!"
"WHAT!" she screamed as she jumped up off the bed.
"We went to Dakota's party. We drank and I tried it but I stopped and he kept going. We danced and then Dakota kept flirting with him. I walked off when Rusty told me it was the reason she had the party. To get Drake and to hurt me....anyway I ran after him like 5 minutes later and found him deep in that whore and you know what he said 'I thought it was you' like seriously!? Do I look and act like Dakota?" I look at her with all seriousness and she looks at me
"I can't believe after you giving IT up to him he'd do this to you. God men are bastards and are always just looking for you thing"
"I know" I say looking down at my fingers which I was playing with.
I feel the bed move and look to me and see Jo there "Fuck him. He isn't worth anything?!"
"I know but I still love him" she nods, her hand on my shoulder
"I know and I'm sorry. When you lose your virginity to someone you love and he does this. You soon realise what a dick he really was. I know, I know it hurts and you love him but you're lucky to find out now before you got too deep"
I thought about what she said and although I was hurting because it was so fresh in my head but she was right. It was just sex right? Something I'll properly do with another few more guys in my life and who knows we might actually be in love? I smiled a little as she hugged me "And don't think he's getting away with it....or her coz I'm going to.." I cut her off but grabbing her arm and shaking my head
"No need. I left the door open wide enough for everyone to see after I'd slapped him and punched her" I look at Jo who's face lit up like a Christmas tree
"I wish I could have seen that. I bet Dakota is really feeling it today?" I shrugged
"I guess so?" she looked at me
"So tell me what's the go with Rusty?" I look at her
"What do you mean?" I asked because you know I was hoping he'd come over to see if I was okay.
I really did like Rusty, he was sweet under all that roughness! "Rusty's been coming over and knocking on the door to see you all morning. Dad told him not to come back and that he'd send you over when you got up...." I looked at her and then over at my balcony door
"Really?" I said softly as I stood up and slowly walked over
"Yep, he was getting really annoying Tiff....so tell me what happened. He looked like shit this morning, like he hadn't slept all night and when I looked out the window before he was smoking out on his balcony staring straight over here?!"
I stopped and thought about it and realised, what an idiot I was last night. Firstly my boyfriend cheated in front of me and then I threw myself at my friend. I was worse than Dakota herself! I grabbed the handles and opened them out and walked out. The first thing I saw was Rusty staring this way. He stopped what he was doing and watched me before he stood up and walked to the railing to stare. I felt embarrassed, ashamed even before I quickly turned around and ran inside closing the doors behind me. I looked at Jo who was on her feet staring at me "Tiff?" she asked.
I looked at her and bite my lip "Jo I did something stupid last night...like real stupid" she walked over and looked at me
"with Rusty?" she asked and all I could do was nod
"Like what? Did you throw yourself at him or something?" I was shocked, frozen where I stood.
She laughed at her joke until she saw the look in my eyes "Oh no Tiff. You didn't?! Did you?" The tears started again and I nodded "Oh Jo. I don't know what came over me last night. He must think I'm a slut?"
"Oh no Tiff. He wouldn't think that. He lov..." she stopped talking and I look at her
"He what?" I ask and she puts her hands over her mouth
"I said I wouldn't tell"
"Jo? What aren't you telling me?" she shook her head and started walking to the door
"No Tiff. I've said too much. I shouldn't have said anything" she reached for the lock to unlock my door when I said behind her
"He loves me...I know. He told me already. Weeks ago at school, said he'd wait for me too but that didn't last long. He started dating Dakota not long after he'd told me. So what do I believe? His words or my heart?"
I dropped on my bed and waited for Jo to sit with me. I knew she would, she's always been my rock "Tiff. I didn't know..." she trailed off as she rubbed my back.
I turned my head to her and said "I tried not to fall in love with him but I did. So I went further with Drake to try block him out. It hurt seeing him with Dakota even though she said she'd wanted Drake but I never thought he'd do what he did to me and then when Rusty came to save me. I let myself go. I tried to give him what I'd given Drake but he didn't want me. I'm so confused...." The tears came yet again.
I didn't think I'd have any left but no there was plenty more and they came rushing down "Now I've made myself look desperate and he properly thinks I'm like all the other whores around here?"
"Shhh it's going to be okay. I'm sure he doesn't think that about you Tiff. He loves you because of you not because of something you did last night?" I nod into my blanket but I still feel like an idiot.
Soon I feel Jo get up and walk away, without a word and I look over at my door and she points towards my balcony door. I spin my head around and see Rusty standing there. He does looks like shit! I hear the door close and he walks in "Tiff" he whispers as he comes over.
I sit up and look at him as he drops in front of me on the floor and places his head in my lap "I'm so sorry. I just didn't want to do that last night because you wanted revenge. I want our first time together to be more special, then yours and Drake's. Like it's our first time..." he stops and bows his head down.
I feel his tears dropping on my feet and I lift up his head with my hands, which were cupped around his face "I want that too and I'm so so sorry Rusty. I should have listened to you to start with but Drake seemed....he seemed like a nice guy?" I trail off and he looks at me and kneels up on his knees and cups my face with his large hands
"Tiff. I love you and I will wait like I said and what you did last night... please don't worry. I still love you, I just didn't want you to make another mistake" I nod in his hands as I felt him lean towards me and brush his lips over mine
"I love you, Tiffany" he whispers just as our lips touch.
