My Girl

Part 1

I was laying on the couch while the boys were all sitting on the floor watching a movie. All they were doing was laughing and whispering in each others ears. To say the least they were acting like teenage girls. 

"White girls" I said with a sarcastic tone. The both of them turned around and stuck their tongues out at me.

"Why don't you put that book down and have some fun, Olivia? You're such a party pooper".  Alex was right. I always had my face in a book, but there was nothing else to do. I mean, yeah we all pretty much lived with Austin in Miami now, but he was always rehearsing and recording for his album. 

Alex and Austin were staring at me, their eyes telling me to come join them. I rolled my eyes and went to sit beside Austin. He was the nicest guy in the whole world. We had known each other since we were 3 years old, and pretty much grew up being best friends. 

"Long time no see, book worm", Austin teased as he put his arm around me. He always did that. After he found out I had a crush on him when we were 14 he liked to tease me about it. But that was 3 years ago. I accepted the fact he was going to get big one day, and I would never be with him. And besides, I have a boyfriend. His name is Ben. He didn't like the fact I lived with Austin, but he got over it after I told him to accept it or it's over.

 "You know I wouldn't be so unsocial if you guys weren't so boring" I said rasing my eyebrows. 

Austin placed his hand on his chest and dropped his jaw. "Me? Boring? Never!" He protested. I rolled my eyes and shoved him in a joking matter followed with a mischevious smile. "You're such a girl" I said. He laughed and pulled me into a tight hug. 

Alex was just sitting there. He never really talked much, but that was just Alex. He was always like that. He always missed home. I don't blame him, so did I. Which is why every two months or so we flew home together. I stayed with Alex's family and sometimes friends because I had no family to look forward to seeing. My dad died in a car accident when I was 13, I was lost and I had nobody to turn to which is why I always stayed with Austin, Alex, or Erin. And loosing my dad was a big part of why me and Austin bond so much, we didn't have dads so we shared our feelings with each other. And my mom was completely out of the picture, she left me when I was 4. She was a prostitute who needed money, I wasn't even meant to be alive. I was a mistake because I wasn't planned, I was made by just a wild night in Vegas.

"Are you guys hungry?" Alex said pulling out his phone, I nodded and Austin just gave him a look that said I want pizza.

Typical.

As Alex was ordering, my phone went off. I was Ben. I smiled, I missed him so much. I got up and picked up the phone, walking into the kitchen.  

"Hey baby, I miss you" I said sticking out my bottom lip. "I miss you too..." He was quiet. Something was wrong. He was normally loud and talkative. Oh great, I thought.

"Listen, we've been dating for 8 months now. It's been pretty good, but I never see you and I just don't feel the same way anymore. I've been hanging out with this girl Lindsay - " he just kept talking. My heart stopped when I heard the name Lindsay. She was the type of girl who dated anyone. And to make things worse, she dated Austin. She cheated on him multiple times, and now ever since he got famous she's trying to get attention for him again. What was so special about her? Why didn't Ben see that in me? At this point he was still talking and I just hung up the phone. I slammed my back into the wall, bursted out into tears and slowly slid down to where I was sitting on the floor.

Austin came in with 2 huge pizza boxes and looked over at me.  He sat the pizzas down quickly and came rushing over to me. "What did that douchebag do this time?" he asked furiously. I looked up at him, sobbing and just shook my head. 

"Lindsay" is all I could say. He sat down beside me and rubbed my back. He was upset too, he loved Lindsay at one point, he was over her but you really never forget your first love. He just shook head. 

"I'm so sorry Olivia, you didn't deserve a jerk like him anyways. And just forget about Lindsay, she's just going to hurt him and then he'll come crawling back to you. You don't need him. And besides, you got me and Alex. Rob and Zach will be coming back soon and you can invite Erin to stay for a couple weeks. Everything's gonna be ok. Believe me." At this point my head was laying on his chest because he pulled me into a hug. He was lightly stroking my hair as I was still crying. 

"This is why you're my best friend", I sniffled.
