enemies entwined 💜

chapter nine | we can be friends | 💜

GEORGIA:
during science, i can feel my phone vibrate a lot. whilst miss lambert isn't looking, i check and joe is spamming me with texts.
"you good?" emilie asks
"yeah, joe's spamming me with texts"
"go to the toilet, ill come with you in about five minutes, don't open any texts"
"okay"
are we starting to get along?
maybe we can be friends.
i put my hand up and ask to go to the toilet for personal reasons, miss lambert, without a pause says yes and lets me go. i walk to the toilet and wait for emilie. i'm stood there for atleast 5 minutes and she walks in.
"lets go to a cubicle and lock the door behind you"
"okay"
we both walk into the cubicle and i lock the door behind us. i pull out my phone and look at everything joe sent me.
joe-"why."
joe-"."
joe- "georgia why the fuck are you walking with her. her. out of everyone; her. she's a fucking bitch, why would you talk to her?"
me- "first of all where do you get off telling me who i can and can't talk to. and secondly i've been having meetings with miss green and emilie and we've cleared things up. were on speaking terms now"
joe- "right right, speaking terms."
joe- "so where were you at break? suddenly ditching us for your new best friend?"
me- "joe what the fuck"
joe- "you may as well have been making out with her. don't bother coming to us in the canteen"

i blankly stare at my phone.
"georgia are you okay"
"yeah. it felt good to say that but he took it too far."
"i know we've been bitchy to each other but he was so quick to judge" emilie says with sorrow.

and that's when i lost control.
my breathing increased.
i felt so hot.
tears fell from my eyes.

i couldn't breathe.
i've lost my friends over trying to fix a broken friendship.

"georgia are you okay?" "georgia"
"i'm going to get miss green. stay there"

i sit down on the toilet seat trying to calm myself down but it's making things worse. i can't breathe, i'm sweating, i'm shaking.

i then hear someone running and a teacher. the door is open slightly so emilie opens it fully.
"georgia can you hear me"
"georgia i need you to calm down"
i try to slow my breathing but its not working. until emilie squats down next to me and places her hand on my arm.
it was like magic.
my breathing slowed. i could be in control of my self again.
"georgia are you okay what happened" miss green said frantically.
"one of her best mates saw us talking in the corridor and he had a go at her and he's said to not hang out with them anymore, i think she got too overwhelmed miss" i nod to let miss know she was right, about the story and how i was so overwhelmed.
"which friend?"
"joeseph kay" i manage to mumble
"okay sweet lets get you to my office and ill give you something to drink.
we slowly walk to the office and she makes me a cup of water. i thank her and i just sit there thinking. not about joe. but about emilie. she just made me feel so safe. just with the touch of a hand. no. ew. your not even best friends with her. we were literally agreeing to be on speaking terms almost an hour ago and now were in miss green's office trying to fully calm me down.

it's crazy how quickly things can change.

but at the minute i think my only friend is emilie.
