Love Struck

Chapter 3

Clava Saturday night.

 Oliver and Josie had just finished dessert. A lovely vanilla slice with ice cream. "Mmm that was really good."Josie said licking her lips. "Yeah it was. Hey Josie I've got a question." "Go ahead Olly." She smiled. Isla used to call him Olly. "Don't worry" He hesitated out of sadness.

The Waiter came and took away the dishes and gave them the bill.

"No you can ask me anything. I trust you." This meant a lot to Oliver. "Ok. Will you, Josie Callahan be my girlfriend?" Josie's eyes lit up like Christmas lights. "Of course I will!" She was so happy. Oliver leaned in and kissed her. 

"I'll pay" He winked at Josie. He put the money in and drove Josie home. 

In the car they  said there goodbyes. "Bye I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" Josie didn't even answer. She just grabbed his head and kissed Oliver for a really long time. About 5 minutes. When Oliver layed his hand on her thigh she stopped, smiled at him cheekily and got out of the car and ran into her house. 

"Best good bye ever." Oliver said. 

The thing about this relationship was that Oliver didn't really like Josie. Not even at all. It was Isla that he dreamt of while kissing Josie, while talking to Josie. While Josie and Oliver hold hands he imagined it was Isla's hand and grabs it tighter.

That night when Isla went to sleep all could she could think about was Oliver. She opened her eyes and turned to her bed side table. There was a picture of Oliver and Isla holding hands laughing. She grabbed it, held it above her head and started crying. Isla took off the back of the frame. Took the photo out and read the back of it. Oliver had written, 

Isla, remember I will always be here for you. You are my one and only love. When you feel sad remember that. 

She cried more, dropped the photo and frame next to her bed and put her head in her pillow and cried herself to sleep.

The next day Isla logged into Facebook. Clicked on Newsfeed and the first that came up was, 

"Josie Callahan is in a relationship with Oliver Hill."

But Isla's bad side took over her emotions and messaged Josie.

"F**k off you little m*le and get away from MY boyfriend!"

It said Josie had seen the message but she didn't reply. 

Bella's house.

Bella walked down the stairs of her house listening to her iPod. She was at her mum's house this week. Her mum was making sandwiches in the kitchen. "Mum." "Bella take out your earphones while talking to someone." "Sorry." She took them out. "How did you know that you wanted to break up with dad? Were there any signs?" Bella asked curiously. She was getting worried about her relationship with Jake.

"Well yes. Almost everyday me and your father fought." "Yeah but did anything go wrong? Did you not like him anymore?" "Yeah, all my friends would talk about their feelings they got when they kissed their husband. Or when he did something romantic. Your father didn't do anything romantic but I know I didn't get any feeling when we kissed or anything."

Bella thought for a while and went back upstairs. 

She texted Jake,

"Mum's going to work in 10 minutes. Come over x ".

Jake texted back quickly,

"Ok :)"

Bella searched through her closet and put on her best clothes and makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and wasn't quite satisfied. "Look's like I'm gonna' have to wear mum's clothes." She cringed but she thought wearing her mum's clothes would make her look more regular and attractive. 

 Jake put on a t-shirt, got in his car and drove to Bella's house. He parked the car outside her house and got out and saw Bella dancing and singing in her room. He smiled and listened for a while. She was really good. He knocked on the door. Bella ran down stairs and let him in. 

Jake kissed her on the cheek and gave her chocolates. "You didn't have to Jake!" 'Yes I did." She smiled at him blushing. "I heard you singing." He giggled. Her eyes widened in embarrassment. "Oh my god I'm sorry!' She put her head in her hands. Jake pulled them away and told her, "Your voice is beautiful. You should make a video and put it on YouTube." "YouTube? I might as well sing at assembly. I wouldn't get and views anyway." She tried really hard to convince him. 

Jake pulled her over in front of a white wall. "Do you know the song Firefly by Ed Sheeran?" "Jake this is not a good idea." "You're right." She sighed in relief. "Go put on your normal clothes." 

"I thought you would prefer this?" She held her skirt out and looked at it shamefully. "I prefer you. I love it how you have your own look." 

Bella smiled at Jake in a girly way. She quickly got dressed and came back down stairs.

"Ok honey I know you can do it." "I can do it!" Jake smiled at her and she smiled back. 

Bella started singing while Jake videoed it with his iPhone.

That night.

Jake had gone home and was dawdling around on facebook. Then he remembered the video and and checked YouTube. 

He called Bella.

"Hi!" Bella answered the call. "Guess what Bella! You have already got 509 views, 510 views on the video today."  "What? Are you serious? But I'm not even that good at singing!" Bella insisted. "Well obviously not! I'll see you tomorrow you little superstar."

The next day.

Kiara was getting her books out for first period, English, and Nick walked up. She slammed her locker closed and started walking away once she saw him. "Kiara wait!" He pulled her towards himself by her hand. "Nick. No." "Kiara, no. Listen to me." "Fine I'll listen to you because I'm a way better person then you." 

"Ok, first of all I'm sorry." "Yes, yes go on and try to actually make it convincing." She moaned.

"Your sister is single. And what is wrong with it any way. I'm a nice guy. It was only a one time thing anyway." He explained. "Do you want me to tell what is wrong with it? I knew it would be a one time thing for you. And that's what is wrong with it. For my sister it would more then a one time thing. Why do you think I would be ok with you hurting my sisters heart?" Kiara revealed. 

"I'm sorry." Nick apoligised. "Why would you be angry at your sister then? It's all my fault." "No it's not all your fault she is in the wrong too." Kiara argued. 

"My sister has been dating a guy for ages. I hated him. He cheated on her. But she wanted to keep on dating him so I learned to live with that fact and started to actually accept him. Even though I know deep down inside she is still heart broken. But then you come along and she cheats on him. That's why I'm mad at her." 

The next day.

Josie and Oliver met up in the school carpark. Oliver noticed Isla in the corner of his eye, he smiled at her. She quickly turned her head as if she didn't see him. But she did, and had had a smile so big because of it.

Josie caught Oliver staring at Isla. She told and showed him the message from Isla. 

He was so ashamed. He thought Isla had changed. He was gaining his love for her again, but this, this made him lose almost all his respect for Isla.

Josie was jealous and could tell that he still had feeings for Isla. She new the message would make him hate her again.

So Oliver marched over to her car, Isla smiled at him but Oliver wasn't smiling so much.

"Hello Isla."
