Falling For The Good Girl

Chapter 20- It Was Your Fault

Liam's POV
After about an hour, Layla and Aiden come barging through the door with worried expressions but I stop them.

"Is she okay?" Aiden asks in a panicked manor and I nod and put a finger on my lips to motion them to be quiet and they nod.

"She had a panic attack but we don't know why, all we know is that she freaked out when someone called her. Blake and I got her to fall asleep and now they are both sleeping" I whisper causing Layla to basically melt and Aiden to smirk.

"I think we should stay just in case" Aiden whispers back referring to him and I causing me to nod.

Ivy's POV
After my meltdown last night, Blake and Liam finally got me to calm down and eventually I fell asleep. I get up quietly and accidentally bump into Layla.

"Hey, what happened last night?" I can't tell anyone. Not after... I shall never speak of it. I vowed that day that I would never speak of him again.

"Oh it's no big deal-"

"Not a big deal? Ivy you had a nervous breakdown. Who called you that made you so upset?"

I shake my head "it's not a big deal. Don't worry about it" I walk past her and out the door

"Where are you going?"

"To get some air" I call back.
Layla's POV
She walks away just like that without another word. "Guys wake up!" I shake all of them causing them to all groan in anger. None of them are morning people but this is about Ivy, not them.

"Ivy won't talk to me about it"

"So?" Aiden asks still clearly out of it. I cross my arms and reply "when has she never told me anything? We are best friends and we have told each other everything-"

"You didn't tell her who your first was!" Liam mumbles, raising an arm showing that he's awake.

"I could of sworn that I did. Well that's not important now, what's important is that she's avoiding it and she needs to talk!" I ramble causing Blake to get up.

"I'll talk to her, where did she go?" He mumbles and I shrug. "She just said that she needed air" I reply. He gets up, not even caring what he looks like and walks, more like runs outside after her.
Ivy's POV
I can hear Blake calling me but I don't stop, I just keep walking. "Ivy wait!"

"What Blake?" I turn around to see that he is uncomfortably close to me.

"I needed to make sure that you were okay-"

"I'm fine Blake" I sigh while turning around but he steps in front of me and stops me. "No you're not. Why didn't you tell Layla what is going on?"

"Because nothing is going on-"

"Bullshit Ivy! Both Liam and I saw you laying on that floor last night bawling your eyes out! What the hell is going on-"

"Nothing Blake! I just freaked out a little it's no big deal. You wanna know the big secret?! It's because my dad is getting married in two weeks and I don't want the wedding to happen!" I shout rather loudly.

"Why? What is so bad-"

"You know the answer to that and there's no way that I am explaining again. I just... I need some time! This is all too much" I start hyperventilating again and it's at that moment that I realized I had to get out of here.

"Ivy stop. I can tell that this is bothering you-"

"It's not bothering me! What's bothering me is that everyone is annoying me about it!" I snap angrily while running away.

I find myself running to the dock on the boardwalk. My phone rings again and it's an unknown caller ID again. Alright Ivy... Just breathe.

"Hello?" I say nervously while biting my lip.

"Hey babe-"

"I really wish you'd stop calling me that"

"See I can't do that because I love-"

"You lost all power to say that after what you did that night-"

"That was just as much your fault as it was mine-"

"Stop saying that! Just stop! That was not my fault! It was yours! You did this not me! You're the reason it happened so stop messing with my emotions and telling me that it was my fault because it wasn't. Goodbye Zander, I don't want to hear from you again" I hang up angrily and start grabbing my hair.

"I thought we would find you here" I jump up in joy at the voice that I know all too well. "Luke! Oh I missed you so much, even though it's literally been four days but still I miss waking you up in the morning and making you breakfast and how are you here?" I snap back to reality and he smirks

"Well, that was all Liam. He called Luke and with us being the best brothers on the planet, we came here" Mason says as I hug him tight.

"But how did u manage this?-"

"You're forgetting that we are on break right?" Luke. Such a smart ass.

"Right" I say dumbly.

"So um I have some news to share with you" Mason looks at the floor nervously and scratches the back of his head before continuing. "Sabrina and dad changed the wedding date to Christmas" my eyes bug out. That's a month away!

"Why so soon?"

"Apparently, it was the only month that Sabrina's kids could come from boarding school. And since we will be off on break, they figured it would be a good time"

I shrug and reply "well at least it's not on my birthday. Are they going to be in the wedding too?" I ask the last part dryly.

"Strangely no. But they are going to dance with us when we have to do that stupid family dance thing" Mason is quick to change the subject.

"So what happened yesterday?" Mason asks worriedly and I shrug. "I don't know, I just freaked out because someone prank called me and it brought back some bad memories that's all" Damn it Ivy! Tell somebody!

I can't.

Why not?

Because of what he said.

"If you tell anyone, I will come back and I will stick to you like glue for the rest of your life"

But you never told anyone!

And I never will-

"Ivy? Where'd you go?" Luke waves a hand in my face snapping me out of my war with myself if that makes any sense.

"Oh uh I was just spacing. How long are you guys here for?" I really need my family right now.

"Mason managed for us to stay in the beach house we have up here for as long as you are staying-" I cut Luke off by hugging the both of them so tightly.

"Well now Aiden and Layla can have a room to themselves and-"

"Woah when did this happen?" Luke asks sounding intrigued and I chuckle and explain what happened between them last night ending with Mason to cringe and Luke to smirk. I have a feeling this next week is going to be fun. And in case you can't tell, *says sarcastically* I am stoked for the wedding!
