Payton's POV:
I have never hated and loved someone so much at the same time. But this girl is driving me crazy. Like literally someone may need to send me to a mental hospital soon if she keeps talking. If your confused let me explain. My best friend Talia Canova. Since I had Emma to look after I didn't really have any friends. Except her.
We met in sixth grade and ever since she's like a piece of gum I can't scrape off my shoe. But I'm glad to have her. And I love her because she's like family to me. But right now she's being so annoying I want to slam my head into a wall until I can't hear anymore.
After Cameron left yesterday, my cousin Jeremy came over and so did Talia. They both ended up staying the night, Jeremy in the guest room and Talia in mine, when I woke up this morning she forced me to tell her every detail of Cameron. And now she won't shut up about it. I still haven't even gotten out of bed yet.
"When can I meet him? Do you like him? If you don't then i call dibs. Ohhh I bet he's so hot in person. An-" I cut her off standing up. "Talia Canova if you do not shut up Ill cut you!" With that she froze and became silent. I smile and walked out of my room. Finally silence.
It was interrupted when I heard two people laughing downstairs. Furrowing my eyebrows I slowly reach the living room and the sight confused me. "Look who's finally up. Morning sleepy head." Jeremy ruffles my hair making me send him a death glare and sit on the couch. "Shut up loser." He just laughs at that.
"Good morning princess." I smile at Cameron and his new nickname for me. "Good morning Cam. What're you doing he-" I'm interrupted by a squeal and turn to see Talia standing next to the living room doorway. "So this is Cameron? The Cameron Stirling?" My face turns beat red and if looks could kill she would be dead from my glare.
Standing up Cameron gives her an award winning smile. "Thou who am I to lay my eyes upon such great beauty?" I roll my eyes while Talia becomes flustered. "Why thank you kind sir." She replies back. Why do I have such a weird feeling in my gut.... Jealousy? No way. Not possible I don't even like him. I push the feeling away and stand up walking back upstairs to my room.
After a few minutes footsteps appear coming closer to my room and soon the door creeks open revealing a smiling Cameron Stirling. But his smile drops when he senses my mood. Irritated, annoyed, upset... For reasons I don't know yet. "What's wrong princess?"
He takes a seat on the edge of my bed and grabs my chin gently when I don't look at him. "Princess?" His voice is so soft and gentle I start to crack. Then my eyes meet his hazel green and brown ones and I crack from the silent treatment. "I'm sorry I'm just not in a good mood." He frowns but nods.
"C-cam what're you d-doing?" I ask when one of his hands travels to my hip then my side while his other hand goes to my other side. "Oh nothing.... Except tickling you!" I don't have even a second to protest before he starts his horrid assault on my sides.
Trying to catch my breath from laughing so much I beg for him to stop. "P-plea-se S-Sto-p" I gasp in between my giggles. After a few more horrible minutes he lets me go and lays next to me on my bed while I gasp to catch my breath.
"You.... Are... Evil." I say finally catching my breath. He smirks and leans on his elbow so he's kind of towering over my laying position. "No I'm just fun." Then he does something I never expected from him or anyone. He leans in to kiss me. And shockingly I lean in too.
My mind is screaming to stop but my body is doing it anyways. Right as our lips brush each other the door is yanked open and we jump apart. I even end up falling off my bed from getting so scared. There in the door way stands a laughing Talia and a shocked Jeremy.
"Oh...my...g-god....your guys faces!" Talia continues to laugh and Jeremy looks between us. "Ow." Is all I mutter trying to get up. Cameron being the guy he is rushes off my bed to help me up. I landed right on my tail bone and hit my head against my nightstand.
"Shut up Leah." I groan and walk past the laughing hyena and my shocked cousin. Cameron follows me downstairs and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well I should go. I'll see you later. Oh and my mom wants you and Emma over for dinner if that's ok?" A smile takes over my face and I nod. "Of course what time?" Biting his lip he shrugs. "I'll come get you guys. Just be ready by six."
With that he walks out of the front door and shuts it. I take a breath I didn't realize I was holding and check the time 12:30. I guess I should get Emma up and start on breakfast. When I walk up the stairs I go to see if Talias in my room but she's not. Weird. Then I hear a moan come from the guest room. A moan?
What the heck. My curiosity takes over and I open the door to see the most shocking site of my life. I freeze and so do they. "What. The. Hell!" I yell at them and they both look down with shame. Jeremy look sad and embarrassed while Talia look like she's going to cry.
"Look I-i can explain-" I cut my 'best friend' off. "No I don't want to hear it. I have more important things to do than hear either of you out. Talia you should leave and Jeremy you should too. You have to get back to your girl friend don't you?" The venom on my voice sends Talia into tears and Jeremy into even more shame. With that I walk away.
I cant believe them. I just can't... How could Jeremy cheat on his girl friend? How could Talia do that with my cousin? She knows he has a girl friend so why? I shake my head and push my anger back for now then walk into Emma's room. But she is already awake.
Sitting at her desk on her computer. I make sure to clear all the bitter from my voice and address my little sister. "Good morning Emma." She turns to me and then I see her face. Tears stream down them and I am worried right away. "Sweetie what happened?" I ask rushing over to her. "I-I heard you y-yelling...."
Pain takes over my heart. "Oh Em I'm so sorry. Don't worry it wasn't anything serious. I promise your safe. I'm so so sorry." I wrap her in my arms and let her cry before she pulls away a little and wipes her tears. God I am so stupid and selfish. I was so worried about finding them together I didn't think about Emma. God your so stupid.
"How about I take you out for waffles?" With that she brightens up right away and a big smile takes over her face. "Yay!" She gets up and goes to her closet. "Get ready while I get ready then we will leave ok?" She nods and starts looking for an outfit while I leave.
Going into my room I take my hair out of its messy bun and turn on my curling iron. Then I go to my closet and look for an outfit.
