Emily's POV ≧▽≦
I climbed down the stairs after changing into a spaghetti hand top and shorts. Tara was waiting downstairs with mom for me. She said she had wanted to join mom in making dinner.
I walked into the kitchen and I overheard Tara and mom whispering something. What were they talking about ?
" Have you told her ", Tara said in a hushed tone to mom and I managed to hear her.
" Not yet ", my mom responded.
" What haven't you told me yet ", I asked as I walked in.
" Oh Emily it's you ", my mom said turning to look at me. She was obviously startled and that meant she was actually hiding something.
" Were you expecting someone else ? " I asked.
" You ... I just didn't expect you ", mom said.
" Sooo what haven't you told me ", I asked again because I wasn't sure she did hear it the first time.
" It's nothing ", Mom said avoiding my eyes and I knew she was lying.
" I think we should just tell her ", Tara said and I turned to look at her.
" Yes please ", I said.
" Sooo before I left here yesterday, your mom showed this parcel to me. She said it had arrived for you and apparently Leo had sent it. We didn't want to stress you out about all of this that's why we didn't tell you ", Tara said.
" Where's the parcel ? " I asked, trying to fight back tears.
" I'll get it ", mom said and she left the kitchen and came back minutes later with a light blue tote bag. She passed it to me and then she gave me a note.
' this is for you beautiful , can't wait to see the dress on you tomorrow night ', the note read. I ran up to my room to go checkout the parcel, majorly so if the tears rolled down my eyes then no body would be there to witness it.
I sat on my bed , my legs folded. The tote bag was in front of me. I ran my fingers on the tote bag, my eyes close as I reminisced my memories with Leo. I finally looked into the tote bag and it contained a well packaged, present-like box. I opened the box and it contained a black dress. There was a second box on top of the dress. I opened it and it contained a jewelry set. It was pure silver. I ran my fingers through the necklace as tears rolled down my face.
I pushed the box aside and I grabbed a pillow screaming into it. Not going to lie but I low-key felt better after that. I threw the pillow aside wiping my face.
I heard a knock on my door.
" Come in ", I said softly and Tara walked in, shutting the door behind her.
" Hey ", she said he she walked over to me and sat opposite me.
" Aren't you going to the dance ? " I asked her. I realized that I hadn't cared to ask her about herself. I was too busy getting all the attention.
" Not when my best friend is cooked up in her bedroom crying over the same guy she broke up with ", Tara said and I wished I could explain to her. Unfortunately I couldn't.
" You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine ", I said.
" Emily please tell me the truth, why did you break up with Leo ", Tara asked me again and I just went silent. I didn't know what to say or do. I didn't even remember how to think.
" You're not saying anything ", she said again after an awkward minute of me being silent.
" I told you not to worry about ", I said instead.
" Right. Remember when I told you not to worry about Jess and Jay because I could handle that myself and I didn't want you getting hurt, then what did you say ? " Tara asked rhetorically.
" You went on being mad at me for choosing to leave you out of my problems, do you not trust me anymore. Do I not matter ? ", she blackmailed but I couldn't help but feel hurt.
" You know you matter Tara, you're my best friend ", I said and a fresh batch of tears rolled down my cheeks.
" Don't you lie to me, you only want to help me and never let me help you. Who do you think you are ? Some kind of superhero that magically helps everyone but never lets help get to them ", Tara scolded and I chuckled amidst tears.
" You think it's funny ? Of course, out friendship is a joke to you. You don't care anymore. What happened to you Emily ? " Tara yelled and I felt really hurt. I let my best friend down.
" I broke up with Leo because of you. I did it because Hayley threatened yogurt you and ruin Jay and Jess's relationship. I'm so sorry I couldn't sit and watch that happen so I had to sacrifice my relationship for your happiness ", I said crying. Tara just sat here staring at me. She seemed pretty confused.
" I can't believe you let Hayley brainwash you Emily. Why didn't you tell me ? You had to go and make a stupid decision and put everything on the line ", Tara said pinching her nose bridge.
" You don't know what she can do ", I said.
" I don't care what she can do. And for the most part she can do nothing ", Tara said.
" I just didn't want to see your hurt ", I said.
" And you think I wouldn't be hurt seeing you hurt. It even hurts me more ", Tara said.
" I'm sorry ", I said and she gave me a warm hug.
" It's okay. You have to fix this, only you can ", Tara said pulling out from the hug and wiping my tears.
" But how ? " I asked.
" You have to go to the dance and tell Leo how you truly feel ", Tara said and I wish I could do that but I couldn't. Leo was definitely not going to forgive me. I didn't think he would.
" He wouldn't even want to listen to me ", I said.
" Them you'd have to make him listen ", Tara said.
" Are you coming too ? " I asked Tara.
" Yeah, I'll go home and get dressed before we get going. You can get dressed at my place so your outfit doesn't get messy ", she suggested and I nodded. I slip a hoodie above my top and then we went downstairs.
" Honey ? " Mom said surprised to see me out of my room.
" Mum I'm going to the school dance ", I said.
" Why did you suddenly change your mind ? " Mom asked.
" I'll explain later I promise, but I have to get going now ", I said.
" Bye hun, have fun and take care of ourself, you too Tara " mom said.
" Bye mom ", I said.
" Bye ma'am ", Tara said and with that we left for Tara's place.
