She

Chapter 23

"Joey I can't talk right now, I'm working and it's last song dress change so I'm really busy. Plus the fact your dad and your uncles are not cooperating." I say into the phone, my shoulder is against my ear hold the phone in place so I have my hands free to tie Billies tie.

"Please it's important, you're my best friend and I miss you. I know I was an absolute arsehole to you but you've changed, I've watched you grow up and I like this new you because it reminds me of the girl I meet a few years ago who I brought home all the way from Australia. Now again please just listen." Joey almost sounds like he's crying, I feel bad but I've also got a job to do.

The stage crew signal the boys that it's time to go, Billie quickly kisses me and mouths 'I'll miss you' which I return with 'break a leg' if Joey heard us we'll be screwed. I stare as they all exit the room and I lounge on the couch, putting the phone on speaker phone so I can multitask.

"What is it Joey?" I hear silence on the other side of the phone, than I can hear heavy breathing and the phone moving around. Well this just gets better.

"Well the other day I kind of admitted something to you that I never told anyone before. I'm kind of embarrassed but we need to talk about this, I just feel like we could work and that you can prove to me why you enjoy sex so much." I feel like I'm going to faint, this went from 0-10 in seconds.

"Joey it's not that I think you are unattractive or not boyfriend material, I just can't be thing you. I'm steering clear of teenage boys at the moment, I'm slowing getting better so if I rush into something the sluttiness will just come back and I'll be screwed." I feel absolutely terrible but there's nothing else I can do, I'm technically not lying but it's not like I can also be honest.

"Yeah I get it, Ryan I'm going to come and see you. Our tour venues line up so I'm going to visit the family and mainly you, we went from every minute together to never seeing each other but we have come to our senses and are over the petty grudges we had on each other." I mentally groan knowing I have to face him one day or another, I'm so frustrated with myself but also the fact that if I wasn't so stupid I would have realised this earlier.

"Joey I can't-"

"I want to be with you Ryan." He completely cuts me off, I get that this is important to him but my life is different now. If im friends with Joey than its harder for Billie and I, also Joey's feelings for me might grow and I can't have that at the moment.

"Joey you deserve way better than me, I'm everything you said I was and do you really want to be with someone with a past like mine?" I run my hands through my hair, my stress levels rising and anxiety going through the roof.

I have to be honest, I used to have feeling for Joey. When we first meet I had the biggest crush on him and now he we are with me kindly rejecting him while he falls for me. I can't bare to think what happens next, I can't be without Billie but Joey is my best friend and I can't hurt him. Everything is so hard.

"I don't care! Nothing is going to stop me. I'm going to see you really soon and you can't stop me, there's no chance that I'm going to let you change my mind. I'll see you in a few days, I'll even bring the boys." Does Joey really think bring the other is going to change my mind? It will honestly turn me off more, I slept with on of those guys.

"Joey please." I beg. The door opens and the boys pile in all sweaty and gross, I look at the phone and back at Billie. Damn he's hot. Without think I stand up and walk over to Billie and kiss him, I'm so out of it right now. 

"Who was that?" My head shoots to Billie and he just shrugs, great help. I have to think quick, Maybe it's time I should tell Joey the truth- yeah not going to happen.

"Tre just slobbery kissed my cheek knowing how much I hate it." I feel bad lying but I need to keep Billie and I secret, sometimes we can't control our selves and slip up meaning we have to lie to cover it up.

"Sounds like him but I know it's a lie, I can see Tre in the hallway now." I turn to see Tre no where in sight, fuck. Joey is an absolute bitch, that noob tried to surprise me. This is horrible, I need a fake boyfriend asap. "So are you surprised?"

"I'm shocked but this is so unexpected." I look at Billie and he just freezes, I don't even know if I told Billie everything that Joey said to me that night. This is fucked.

Shit Joey opens and Joey runs in and hugs me, yay cute Joey has reappeared and I can't handle it. I give Mike the help me eyes but he just shrugs, know one knows what to do. I pull away and plaster on a fake smile, I'm so not looking forward to this and I would do anything just to run. 

"So who did you really kiss?" He looks around the room only seeing Billie and Mike, his eyes grow wide and I'm seriously about to wet myself.

"Joey I have something to tell you, I'm with your-"

"Me." Mike puts his hand up and walks over to me, his arms snakes around my waist. Billie giggles and I give him a death glare, I hate my life.

"You're fucking my uncle."
