Small Town Southern Charm

Chapter Eleven

 I stood there still trying to grasp what was going on. Johnny had just told me that he found out about me trying to prove JoAnna wrong. I felt like a huge bitch. I didn't want to make eye contact with Josh or Johnny because I knew that both of them were mad at me. I didn't know what to say to Johnny so I just stayed quiet.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Johnny said and then walked away.

"Is that true?" Josh asked.

"Yeah. I'm so sorry."

"Why are you telling me sorry? You didn't do it to me. Yeah, I don't like that you did it to him but I don't know why you're saying sorry to me."

For some reason Josh stood there with a little smile on his face. Like he had accomplished something big but didn't want anyone to know about it.

"Will you just take me home, please?" I asked.

"Yeah, come on."

"Thanks."

Jody was going over to her parent's house after school so I was going to have to wait until she got home to have someone to talk to. I needed someone to be with right then so I went to the kitchen and found Thomas there in his hunting clothes.

"You not coming today?" He asked.

"Not today. Can I talk to you?" I asked.

"Sure."

I told him everything and he just sat there thinking of what to say.

"Well, who do you want to be with sis?" He asked.

"I've had feelings for Josh for a while but Johnny is so different. He makes me want to be around him all the time."

"That's something that you have to decide. And I'd do it soon before you lose both of them. Honestly if it took Josh to see you with Johnny then Johnny would be the one."

Johnny's POV:

I couldn't believe what Taralyn had been doing while I was falling for her. I wasn't just falling either, I was falling hard. I can't believe she did something like that to me I never thought she would be capable of hurting someone so bad. JoAnna thought that it was quite the joke, she laughed about it while she was telling me. She laughed when she heard that I confronted Tara about it.

Yeah, I had kept something from her but it wasn't something like that. I would never in a million years do something like that to anyone. The thing that hurt the worse was when she didn't say anything when I told her to choose between me and Josh. She just stood there looking at the ground, I should have known that she would choose him over me. I should have known that Josh would get the girl, I mean he always does.

Every time I would see her for the weeks to come I wanted to go up to her and wrap my arms around her. I knew that I couldn't though because the thing going around school was that her and Josh were now a thing. Every time she would see me she had a look of sadness on it like she wanted to talk to me as bad as I wanted to talk to her. Neither of us talked to each other though. Jody didn't talk to me either, I guess she felt bad too because she was part of it. I wanted to be able to tell Taralyn how I really felt about her, how I had fallen so fucking hard for her. I should have known that nothing good would come from moving to a small town.

Taralyn's POV:

Josh and I decided to give us a shot, everything was going great so far. Everytime I seen Johnny though I would feel bad. I just felt like I should go up to him and tell him that I was sorry. I didn't want to end things like that, I wanted to be friends with him still. I wasn't going to lie over the months I had developed feelings for him.
