Teen Stardom: Porsche

Chapter 2

"T and J are still avoiding me," I said as the three of us walked.

"Typical." Alice rolled her eyes, and Isa muttered her agreement while biting into her own cupcake.

The boys acted like I had never even been friends with them even, and it hurted to see that.

All I wanted was to get on with them, and date Meg obviously, but that one could wait.

I didn't understand T and J's issues with me, but I convinced myself they were just embarrassed that their first and only girlfriend knew they were gay before they even did.

"So, do you like anyone?" Isa suddenly asked, and practically my entire body broke out in sweats.

"You're blushing! Must be serious," Alice chipped in, grinning madly.

Thank goodness we were at Isa's place after that comment.

One of her moms was in, Izzy. Youngest parent in town so far but is incredibly gorgeous and cool.

"There's shit in the cupboard, don't tell your mother and enjoy yourselves," she had advised, then proceeded to head upstairs.

I said to Isa that her mom was awesome as we headed into the living room.

Meg came in moments later, and my heart was going really fast and loud.

All I could think was; Please do NOT be disastrous like Darryl!

I'm sorry, that's all I could think at the time.

"Sorry, I left my phone charger down here," she said while retrieving her lost cable.

And for whatever reason, I somehow found the courage to say hi.

Meg actually looked at me and smiled, even if it was just for a second.

"She does notice you after all," Alice said when she was gone again.

I was too busy memorising all details of the split second my best friend's sister looked at me to answer back.

........

Daddy Darryl texted me a while later, after I had been on Netflix with Alice and Isa watching Kimmy Schmidt on the armchair while they are all cuddled up on the couch.

Not that I felt like a third wheel or anything.

D: Are you coming home for dinner? X

P: Having it at Isa's, sorry x

I love both my dads to bits but I really don't want to have to deal with all the boring chit chat and everything waiting back home.

Why would anyone want to talk about school and work directly after it's over?

Come on, people!

Trent and Jake actually sat down at the table despite me being there, but they did almost freak until Isa intervened.

"I don't give a fuck if she's your ex, she's my best friend and if you are not anything but nice for this one night I'll cut up those wigs," she had snapped.

The boys actually gasped dramatically and clutched at their not so real locks of hair like she meant it and looked to Izzy for help.

Instead of reacting hugely like my bisexual dad would have, she just shrugged. "You heard her."

So indeed they sat down, and I avoided looking at them both for the rest of the time that I was there.

But I'll admit that dinner was great. At home I would just have to order something myself.

Both my dads usually forget and I end up borrowing money, ordering from some place in town then walking all the way over to pick it up alone and come back.

I don't mind, it's just nice to take a break.

"So I'm going to the shops tomorrow for more chocolate, what do you guys want me to store in the cupboard this time?" Izzy asked.

Sometimes I'm jealous of Isa for having a mom, let alone two.

I don't know, there's my aunt Rebecca and my supposed mother Heather, but I don't see them unless Daddy Darryl takes me to work with him when school is out.

"Oreos, for once," Alice answered to Izzy's question.

She had been watching Love, Simon on Netflix before dinner and I should have seen that one coming.

"Chocolate chip cookies," T and J said in unison.

My favourite too, and they knew it.

Isa asked me later if I wanted to stay over for the night and as badly as I yearned, I had to get home and get the house in order.

Just to make it up for me not being there for dinner.

.........

I said my goodbyes to Alice and Izzy on my way out, relieved at the fact that I had survived dinner with both my exes.

It's not awkward being in the house, that part is fine, it's the isolation from the guys that throws me off.

I just can't fucking stand it most of the time.

Isa got her mom's car to drive me home, which I appreciated very much.

It was silent, but not the uncomfortable kind.

"I'm sorry for Trent and Jake, again," she said.

"It's cool, I'm used to it," I answered.

After all these months, I added in my head.

I know it's wrong of me to be mad when I'm the one that broke up with both, but I couldn't help it.

"Just......be patient, I'll try to work it out," Isa said softly when we had arrived.

I looked at her for a second, then back at the house where the living room lights were on.

Someone was making sure I came home safe.

"Okay, goodnight," I answered, hopping out.

Isa drove away as I walked up to the front door.

Walked in, only got a few steps forward before being ambushed.

"Where have you been? I was so worried!"

Typical Daddy Darryl stuff.
