Complicated

Chapter 5

Lacy sat on the ground with five shirts laid out in front of her "I can't choose which top to put on your Barbie" she frowned

"Aw, Lacy" I said giving her a hug before scanning over the doll tops on the ground, "I think the white one is very flattering"

"That's what I thought" She squealed in delight before giving a cheeky giggle "Ok; you can go back to smooching my brother"

"Wha-?" I asked in shock to see her giggling again "Have you been spying?"

"It was only for a second or two, promise!" she said trying to cover for herself "I needed you op-oppinin- I needed adv-ice so I started to go downstairs then saw you two kissing and I ran back upstairs"

"We weren't kissing" I protested

"Sure you weren't" She winked to me

"Lacy, we weren't!" I said as she began to laugh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Josh" I began to call out then I saw him with the person who was at the door, she was a tall, thin, blonde bimbo, she was holding his hand and swinging it back and forth just like I used to do with Tyler, that's when it hit me HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!

I ran back to Lacy's room and said that something had popped up and that I had to leave before I went to the stairs again, and this time they were kissing, I scoffed and stormed past him as calmly as I could but I couldn't help but slam the door as I began to pick up pace and ran home. Unlocking the door I had no care for mum's 'NO SLAMMING THE DOOR' policy .

I collapsed on my bed and couldn't help the jealous feeling I had at the pit of my stomach, it made me mad and sick at the same time, I called Madi and told her everything and the only thing that she said was "asshole!" which did put me in a better mood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MUM: SWEETIE WE ARE HOME EARLY FROM THE CITY... WORK CALLED IN A MEETING... AND I HAVE BANGED ON YOUR DOOR. BUT YOU HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN YOUR ROOM FOR THE WHOLE DAY, I AM WORRIED. SO IS LAURA, ALSO JOSH. HE SAID YOU LEFT IN A HURRY AND WERE IN A BAD MOOD, ALSO HE (FOR SOME REASON) NEEDS TO EXPLAIN... PLEASE COME DOWN. XOXO.

This was the seventh time my mum had texted me in an hour. I went over to my mirror and grabbed a makeup wipe and got rid of my old stuff before applying new makeup and doing my hair, even changing clothes and putting on perfume like I would any other morning for fun.

I hopped down the stairs and smiled like nothing was wrong, when I reached the bottom of the stairs I avoided eye contact but everyone stopped what they were doing, Mum and Laura stopped talking and drinking their tea and looked at me. Josh, still in his track pants and shirt, stopped flipping channels and stood up and watching me walk to the kitchen.

I grabbed a small bowl of freshly made fruit salad and began to eat; I looked up to see three pairs of eyes staring at me "What? Do I have a huge zit on my face or something?" I asked as if I didn't know what was wrong

"No, you have flawless skin and you just look lovely that's all" Laura said covering for them all

"Thanks" I smiled "I'm going to eat this in my room... if that's ok, I'll even leave the door open mum"

"Oh, sure thing Hun. Don't make a mess" She said as I walked past her and started going up the stairs.

I saw Josh as he was still looking at me, I sighed knowing that any feelings I had towards him were all flushed away.

I walked into my room and left my door open like I promised; I sat on my bed and pressed play on my iPod to listen to any music so it would drown out the murmurs coming from downstairs. Who was I to think that you could get over a guy you'd been dating for two years, in only one term and that it'd work out with me and the next guy... Idiot.

I heard Josh say that he came to drop my things off, I also heard Laura and Josh leave, and I went back downstairs with an empty bowl to see my mum still sitting there. "What happened Hun?" she asked

"Nothing... why do you ask?" I said as normal as possible

"Oh, no reason. Also Laura asked if you would be fine to babysit Lacy again, she doesn't trust Josh because she thinks he will throw a party" Mum laughed

"Um, I thought of staying in tonight. Can she stay here?" I asked trying to avoid Josh as much as possible

"Sure, she can use the spare room" she said as she finished her tea to go to work "I'll be home at 5 then be gone by 6 ok sweetie?"

"Have a good day mum" I said waving her goodbye and blowing her a kiss.

Great I have fallen for the new Tyler I thought to myself once my mum left
