Part Twelve ~ How To Deal With Emotions......Badly -

A Couple Of Months Later;

Grace's POV -

Our time in America was amazing and I loved it.

Tom actually spent time with me and didn't speak to Emma; although I may have had something to do with that.

I may have told Emma that Tom does nothing but complain about her when he gets home and, anything he has told her about how much he likes her and wants to be with her, is a complete lie because he will only ever love me.

And I may also have mentioned that Tom winning her love was a simple bet between myself and Tom; so she was a nothing and she should just give up before she gets her heart broken - of course, Tom had no idea why Emma was ignoring him and treating him like crap, so he came crying back to me and now everything is exactly how it should be between the two of us.

"Did someone invite Em tonight?" Aubree questioned as she handed another balloon to Skylar for her to blow up.

"And those weird friends of hers as well?" Shelby added.

"Yeah. I asked Em the other day and she told me she would be here if she could make it." Skylar replied much to my disappointment, I thought she would have got the message to just stay away from me and the other girls.

But, she clearly didn't know when to accept that she wasn't wanted and I was going to have to sort that out before she got the wrong idea and made herself believe that we actually wanted to be her friend.

"Tonight is going to be amazing. Sure, America was great fun and I loved spending time with Seev on his own, but it's good to be home." Aubree beamed and she had never been happier than when they were in America with each other; they were going out with each other whenever they had the time and Siva spoilt her with gifts when he went off without her.

"This party is definitely needed. I hope Em does come though, I feel she needs a good night because she seemed nothing but down the entire time we were over there." Skylar half-smiled and I could tell that she felt sorry for her, but I felt nothing other than anger towards her and didn't want her to have a good time today.

"Tends to happens when she finds out the person she thought liked her and wanted to be with her, actually hates her and doesn't want anything to do with her because he's already in a happy relationship." I stated as I took the plate of food from Juliet and placed it on the table.

"What? How do you know about that?" Shelby asked as all attention turned to me now.

"I overheard a conversation between Em and whoever the hell it was before we went to America. Should ask her about it if she does decide that she wants to come." I shrugged.

"I do hope she's alright, and whoever it was messing with her feelings like that must be an idiot." Aubree said as she looked at her phone and a smile appeared on her face, so I could only assume that it must have been a message from Siva.

"Then again, she shouldn't have been messing around with a guy who was already in a relationship." I argued.

"Trust me Grace, Em isn't the type of person who would mess around with a guy in a relationship, unless he led her on first." Shelby spoke up, but I knew differently to that and knew she would almost definitely go around behind another person's back in a lame attempt to steal their boyfriend.

"Oh yeah, and how would you know that then?" I asked her.

"She doesn't exactly trust guys easily after the way that her previous relationship ended, so I can't see her jumping into bed with someone in a relationship. Especially since she knows what it's like to be hurt, and how it feels to be alone after you lose the person you thought loved you." Shelby argued back before she walked out of the room, and that's how I knew that I'd annoyed her and she didn't want to see me until she had got over what I said; she just needed to accept the truth and then everything will be so much easier.
