My Gay Best Friend...Likes Me...?!?

Chapter 17 (Yasmin's P.O.V)

~Yasmin's P.O.V~

This is what happened on the weekend; on Saturday, I was texting Shane when my mum told me we were going to my Nan's. When I got there I saw all my cousins, I was talking to my sisters and cousins about the good old days, when we were little when my other cousin came from out of town, She had only come for today and was going on holiday tonight. She was the same age as me but I hadn't seen her for 2 years. She said hello to everyone but me; I guess she still has a grudge against me even though I didn't do anything. I could tell all my cousins saw but I just brushed it off and carried on talking. When I got home that's when my cheerful mood disappeared.

I was sitting in the living room with the rest of my family when my mum mentioned my cousin from two years was there and how she was better than me and how she was doing better than me. Including that I'm worth nothing in front of everyone, I could tell all their eyes were on me, I just focused on my nephew, he crawled over to me. Why do they always do this? Sometimes I wonder if they hate me, but I remembered that I'm their daughter. That's when my 5-year-old niece called my name and said that's my mum, not your mum, I looked at my mum, they said that my niece is their daughter and not me.

That really got to me, I still pretended like I never heard them. Just then I got a text from Aisha saying to stay over at hers, I told everyone I was going Aisha's tonight; they said I could go, I passed my nephew to my sister and I could tell everyone was just waiting for me to cry. I wasn't going to let them see. Although I could feel the tears build form in my eyes, before I left the room I heard my sister have a go at my niece and stick up for me. It still hurt.

Everyone at school thinks I'm always happy they don't understand what it's like to face that time to time again. I headed up to my room and got my bag, I only managed to put a few things in before I sat on my light, blue carpet and cried till there were no more tears. That's when Shane texted me, he then called and I answered.

I said hey but my voice was croaky and I knew that he could tell I had been crying. He asked me if I had been crying, at first, I had refused until I eventually gave in and told him. He told me to ignore my mum and that I'm someone special and he's glad I'm here in this world, I thought it was sweet and it made me smile. I then thanked him for making me feel better, that's when I looked at the clock and remembered Aisha was expecting me. I said bye to him and finished packing my things. I walked to Aisha's house where I saw Hannah, I could tell she knew something was up but I never told her, I just rang the bell.

"Aisha! Yasmin and Hannah are here!" Aisha's little sister shouted.

"Well tell them I'm in my room!" She shouted back, we made our way to her room "What's up?" Aisha asked concerned when she saw Hannah trying to brighten my mood, after a while I told them what happened and slowly they made me feel better. We hear a knock at the door.

"What?" Aisha asked already knowing it's her sister.

"Haroon's calling and he wants to talk to you." She said giving her the phone and left.

"Hello?" She asked. "I thought you said you were coming in a few weeks?" She said surprised but happy, I turned to talk to Hannah.

I heard Tyler's voice go "Hey Aisha they said we can go back early. That means I'll be seeing you again." I also heard something being thrown at him. I saw Aisha blush but she quickly covered it up with a straight face, I wonder what that was about?

I heard her ask "Wait how did you know?...How do you know that?" Before she put the phone down.

We talked for a bit, I found out Hannah had a crush on Aisha's brother and that Aisha might like her brothers best friend; Tyler but I wasn't sure. I lay down on her bed texting Shane, he sent me a text and before I could read it the phone was taken from me.
