chapter 17

Natalie P.O.V.

I wake up to see a passed out Megan on the floor. She had bags under her eyes from probably these past couple of months.

Like I've known this whole time she hasn't been sleeping well ,but wow looking at her I'm starting to feel bad. Yea I have been through the same stuff but I've always had people there for me, where as for her she only has me. Guilt starts to settle inside me as I realize I haven't exactly paid much attention to her.

Her phone starts buzzing, I look at it to see a text from Taylor.

Taylor- Hey you okay? After we met up with Natalie you seemed off, do you want to talk about it?

What does she mean that "she seemed off?" I hope she wasn't upset by what I've said to her because I really wasn't meaning it. Well I was but I don't know why I was so upset.

"Emph. Hey Nat what are you doing?" Megan says sitting up.

"Oh you got a text from Taylor." I say handing her, her phone.

"Thanks? Were you going through my phone ,because after last night and now this you aren't looking very well.:"

"No I was just seeing who it was. Yes I know that sounded bad but who really cares at this point." I say standing up to lay back down.

"Don't be like that because you know what after you and Ryan got together I actually was a little jealous. I wanted to be with someone like you were, but now I realize that you guys are just excuse me but fuck buddys."

"Are not!"

"Yes you are. Tell me straight to my face that everytime that you see eachother, you don't always do it." She says standing up and putting her hand on her hip.

"Okay fine 90% of the time we fuck but that doesn't mean we are fuck buddys."

"Has he met our parents? No now case closed. Lets go get food!"

I shake my head in disgrace. For such a tiny girl she is, she can eat a lot of food. We go in there to see our parents sitting at the island drinking their coffee. With it still being summer, we are home a lot but on weekends they are there... to annoy us endlessly.

"Hey girlies! Do you want to go shopping today? Or we can go to the pool!" Mom says.

Megan and I exchange glances trying to figure out what exactly we want to do, and what they are up to. With neither of us having an idea, we just shrug it off. I look in the fridge and get out the orange juice.

"Sorry mom but we aren't into doing that. How about we just spend the day at home watching movies, you guys are probably excausted from a hard week at work." I say hoping she'd believe me.

"Oh yeah we are tired and that sounds good. You guys pick out the movies and I'll make us some breakfast. Biscuits and gravy good?" She says walking over to get out the biscuit can and milk.

We nod as we walk into the living room to pick out what movies we were going to watch.

"What was that about?" Megan asks.

"Oh I know you didn't want to show our parents your body after you last night. Let me guess you have a hickey or two?"

"Okay thanks I guess. I don't know how to take that but you know what let's just get through today."

"Okay just no stupid chick flicks."

She laughs and picks out Fast 7 and I pick out Into the Woods. We eat breakfast watching my movie and spend the rest of the day just watching different ones. Around 8 or so we went and got ice cream.

"Hey! Yo! Natalie I've been trying to get ahold of you all today." Ryan yells at me.

"Oh sorry had a family day, we can hangout tomorrow. Okay well bye." I kiss him on his cheek and walk away.

Megan gives me a look and I shrug it off. After we eat our ice cream I go to my room and watch Mortal Instruments. About 30 minutes left I fall asleep.
