Fading Scars.

Chapter 11

Alyson's P.O.V
 
Josh woke me up this morning in a rush, ''Aly you have to wake up, like right now!'' he said, ecxited, ''What's going on?'' I said, sitting in my bed, ''One of my friend is coming over. One of my childhood friend!'' he exclaimed, ''The one you talked to me about?'' I asked, still tired, ''Yeah! I can't wait to see her!'' Her? She was a girl? ''Are we talking about your friend Gab?''  ''Yeah? What's the matter?'' he asked, ''She's a girl? I thought your friend was a boy!'' I said to him, ''Her name is Gabriella.'' he simply said, ''Oh, sorry.'' I got up of the bed, showered and got ready to meet his friend, Gabriella. Josh explained me that she moved here a month ago and he didn't know. She was at our school and he didn't even seen her. Anyways, she was about to show up and Josh was really excited.
 
''Josh!'' Gab screamed and hugged him, ''I missed you so much!'' Josh said, ''Me too Joshy.'' Joshy, seriously? She pulled away from the hug and came to me. She looked familiar? Maybe I saw her at school and I didn't know. ''Hey Alyson, I'm Gabriella.'' she wasn't even smiling at me. What the hell? She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was beautiful. I had red hair and brown eyes. I was nothing compares to her. ''Hey, nice to meet yo-'' and then I stopped talking. I knew who she was. I knew her. She smirked at me when she saw I recognized her. Nice way to start the long week end, I thought.
 
''Are you hungry?'' Josh asked her, ''No thanks, I'm good.'' she was looking at me since she was in my house. ''So, what should we do?'' she asked, smiling at Josh. She was pissing me off. That bitch was trying to flirt with Josh and he didn't even know. I hated her. ''We could go to the pool! I love swiming!'' she said. I hated swiming. I had scars all over my body and I didn't like wearing bikinis. Ew. I looked more fat in them, ''I don't really like the idea.'' I said, looking at Josh, hoping he would understand why, ''Why?'' and he didn't. Great, ''Because, I don't know how to swim.'' I lied. That wasn't really good, but that was the only thing I could say, ''Well, we can go just me and you, Joshy!'' calm down, Aly. Calm down. ''Yeah, I'll stay here. Anyways, I still have a couple things to prepare for tomorrow.'' I did have a few things left to do for the funeral,  ''Tomorrow? You're having a party? What?'' Gabriella said, looking at me with her smirked, ''Not a party. Funeral.'' I told her, ''Oh, well okay then. Are you coming Joshy?'' ''Yeah, sure!'' Josh got ready and kissed my cheek before he walked out of the house.
 
Gabriella was the girl who punched me the other day. She was the reason I couldn't go see my Dad for five days. Josh had no clue about it, and I didn't want to tell him. He seemed to have fun with that girl. He liked her as a friend obvioulsy. Anyways, now I had some other things to do for the funeral, better get starting.
 
 
''So, you had fun?'' I asked when Josh came back withtout Gabriella, ''Yeah, but I missed you.'' he said, kissing me, ''I missed you too.'' I told him, looking at the papers in front of me, ''Gabriella likes you!'' what? She didn't liked me, she punched me, ''What?'' I exclaimed, ''Yeah, she told me you were very nice. Are you okay with her? She wasn't sure if you liked her.'' I didn't like her, I hated her. I couldn't just tell Josh that her best friend was acting, he won't belive me anyway. ''No, she's okay. But she was flirting with you earlier..'' I hissed, ''Are you jealous of Gabriella?'' oh no. He didn't. ''Me jealous? Josh, come on.'' I wasn't jealous, seriously. She was just flirting with Josh to mess with me. That's all. I wasn't jealous, ''You don't have to be jealous, Aly. She's just a friend.'' he said, kinda harsh. I didn't want to fight over something like that, ''I'm not jealous Josh.''  ''Yes you are.'' he was getting on my nerves,  ''Stop.'' I simply said, ''I'm right and you know it.'' he told me, ''Josh, you're getting on my nerves, really. Stop.''  ''I'm just teasing you, Aly. Have fun a little!'' he said, ''I don't want to have fun Josh, not now. Go back with Gabriella if you wanna have fun.'' I was harsh with him, but I didn't care. He didn't answer me, he was playing with his phone. He got up and walked towards the front door, ''Where are you going?'' I asked,
''I'm going to have fun with Gab.'' he told me, angry, ''Come on, I was joking.'' I said, ''Yeah well, not me.'' he was looking at me, ''Are you really going to leave?'' were we fighting? ''Tell me why you don't like Gab? Just tell me. She did nothing to you!'' he exclaimed, if you only knew what she did to me. ''I just don't like her! I can't like everyone.'' I wasn't going to tell him why I hated her, but I knew I had to someday, ''She did nothing to you, Aly!'' that was what you think, ''What do you want me to tell you?'' I didn't want to fight with Josh because of her. ''You should learn to know her. Why are you so stubborn?'' he was looking at me, and he didn't look happy, ''She's always flirting with you Josh! You don't see it, but I do. She's doing it on purpose. She just wants to get on my nerves.'' I screamed at him, ''What's your problem? You don't know Gabriella, you can't say those things about her.'' he screamed back, ''If she's so perfect, why are you still here? Go have fun with her!'' we were actually fighting and I hated fighting with him, ''That's excatly what I'm gonna do! I can't stand you anymore!'' he screamed and walked out of the house. Did he mean that? He couldn't stand me? Tears were streaming down my face. We never had a fight this big. I made my way to my room and cried in my bed, under my blankets.
 
 
 
The day after was the funeral. I didn't know if Josh would still come with me. If he didn't show up, I would be very mad. Anyways, I put my dress on and jumped in my car. I drove to the funeral home, once I got there I saw some of my family members. I hugged them and talked a little bit.
''Aly?'' someone said behind me, I turned around, ''Ray? What are you doing here?'' it was Rachel. I didn't know why she would come to my Dad's funeral, ''You were my best friend two years ago and you're Dad just died. I couldn't let you alone. I know you don't want to see me anymore, but I though-'' I cut her, ''Thank you. It means alot.'' I said. It did really mean alot to me. Josh wasn't here but she was, ''I'm sorry Aly. About everything. I just wish we could go back to be best friends. I miss you.'' she said, tears in her eyes. ''Are you going to cry?'' I asked, worried. ''Maybe!'' she laughed and then continued, ''I miss you so much. I acted like a bitch with you when you had your depression and I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry.'' she was crying and I was too. I hugged her and wipped her tears away, ''Don't cry Ray. It's okay. You did act like a bitch with me, but I don't care anymore. I missed you.'' I smiled to her, ''You such a great friend Aly.'' she smiled back taking my hand in hers and getting ready for the funeral.
 
 
Josh didn't show up. I was really mad at him right now. I was in the car with Ray, and she saw that I was mad, ''What's wrong?'' she asked, ''Josh wasn't there.'' I told her, ''Yeah, I didn't see him. Where is he?'' she looked at me, ''Probably with his friend.'' I hissed, ''What friend?''  ''Gabriella. The girl who punched me.'' I answered her, ''I swear I told her not to do it, but she did it. I swear Aly!'' she exclaimed with her hands up, ''Don't worry, it's okay. It's just that because of her, me and Josh had a fight last night. I can't believe he didn't show up at my Dad's funeral!'' he needed to have a good reason to explain himself.
 
I was now alone. Rachel went at her house and I was watching the tv, with my laptop on my lap. I checked my phone, but Josh haven't texted me. I was not in the mood to talk to him anyway. I wasn't the one who would talk to him first. Hell no. He knew how important my Dad's funeral meant to me.
I couldn't believe it.
