Tahlias p.o.v

As we enter my house I show them around and then to my room.

" Woah nice room"! Riley says as he jumps onto my bed.
" Thanks" I shrug.

" Okay lets go in the pool"! Summer grins as she runs out of the room in her bikinis as Riley chases her.

I turn around to see Joey looking at a few photos on my wall. One of me and Liam and one of me and my kitten Luna.

" Awh is this your little brother"? Joey smiles pointing to Liam.
" Yeah thats him" I nod.
" Hes cute, just like his big sister" Joey smirks as my eyes widen.

I turn away trying not to let him see my fully red face. He just called me cute holy shit.

" Well, are you coming for a swim"? I ask him.
" Yeah if you are" He nods taking off his shirt.

WHAT THE FUCK
SIX PACK OF ABS NO FLAWS ON HIS WHOLE ENTIRE BODY THO.

" i-uh I am, will. Sorry i meant to say im going to get changed" I stutter as i walk to the bathroom to get changed.

HOLY SHIT THATS NOT FAIR THAT HE GETS TO BE THAT PERFECT GOD DAMN IT

After I calm down and get changed i walk out to the pool feeling self conscious as fuck.

" Come in"!! Riley screeches like a girl.
" Jump in" Summer laughs.

But where is Joey?

I look around when all of a sudden someone grabs me from behind and throws me in the pool.

" RILEY OMG" I scream.
" Hahahaha suck" Riley laughs jumping in the pool.

I then look over to see Joey talking to Summer about something. Maybe me... maybe not.

After a few hours of being in the pool we just decide to go to the shops.

" guys its 8pm on a friday night and we're teenagers, we may as well hold up a sign saying 'kidnap us" I huff.

" Well i'm bulk so I'll protect all of yous" Riley nods pointing to his abs.

" Riley they'd snap you in half in zero point five seconds" Summer says as we all laugh.

We get to the shop and buy a few things and then we race back home.

We set up the movie and the food then turn off a few lights to make it dim just like the movies.

" Lets play truth or dare"! Summer smirks as we all sit in a circle.

" Riley t or d"? Summer asks
" dare for sure" Riley nods.
" I dare you to call Evey" Summer smirks.

" No way" Riley shakes his head.
" Ugh pussy" Summer rolls her eyes.

" Tahlia t or d"? Riley asks.

Well if I choose dare he might make me do something with Joey so...

" Truth" I smile.
" Okay.....uhm hmmm. Whats the worst thing that has happened to you"? Riley asks.

I cant tell them that. Summer is the only one that knows what happened in my last relationship and that was my truely worst thing that had ever happened.

Flashback~

My boyfriend Braith had just asked me to meet him on the oval... but why?

As i walk out onto the school oval a crowd begins to gather around us.

" Hey braithy" I smile walking up to him to see Amika my best friend standing near him.

" Tahlia I need to tell you something" Braith rolls his eyes.
" okay..."? I nervously reply.

" Look. I dont like you, I never did. All of this was just to make Amika jealous and welp i guess it worked but sorry i dont need you anymore"

End of flashback~

I dont know what was worse. That, or the bullying that followed it.

" uhh well i guess mum leaving us was pretty bad" I shrug covering up.

I look up to see Summer giving me the 'its ok' look.

" Summer truth or dare"? I laugh.
" dare" she laughs.
" let Riley give you a hickey" I laugh.

Riley smirkes as he picks up her hand and gives her a hickey.

" Riley that was grot" Summer whines

" Any way Joey t or d"? Summer asks.
" Dare" he nods.
" take a selfie and put it on Tahlia's snapchat story" Summer laughs as Joey grabs my phone and quickly uploads one. What a cutie.

" Okay,, Tahlia t or d"? Joey asks
" Ummm truth" I smile.
" Who do you like"? Joey asks.

I look over to Summer as she nods smiling.

" I uh... I like you" I shyly smile. He nods smilimg but doesnt say a word.

" Uhh anyway Joey t or d"? Summer asks breaking the silence.
" Hmmm truth" He nods.

" Who do you like"? ask.

Holy crap what if he says me omg omg omg anxiety levels right now.

" No one really but if I had to choose Evey" Joey nods.

My heart sank faster than the titanic. I cant expect him to like me either. He only met me a few weeks ago. Im a peice of shit compared to Evey anyway.

" Okay enough of this me and Tahlia will go get some drinks we'll be right back" Summer smiles helping me up as we walk to the kitchen.

" Hey its oka-" I cut Summer off as i couldnt take it.

" No Summer its not okay. Yet again i fucked up. I should've known he didn't like me" I shake my head.

" You couldn't have known Tahlia it's fine they don't even care" Summer says.
" Lets just watch the movie" I sigh as we both walk upstairs to see Riley and Joey whispering about something.

" Okay press play" Summer says to Riley as he presses play on the remote.

After about 3 hours of the 2 movies everyone was asleep... exept me.

I check the time 11:46pm.

I have mad a stupid fool out of myself yet again like I always do.

" Can't sleep"? Riley asks as he looks up to me.
" Oh I- I thought everyone was asleep" I chuckle.

" Well I normally can't get to sleep straight away" He shrugs.
" So.... Are you and Summer like in"? I ask as I sit down next to Riley.

" Well.. people seem to think we are but We both know we aren't and I mean we've been real close friends since the start of last year and we have our ups and downs but Summer she means alot to me and I just.. Ugh idk" Riley shakes his head.

" Well I think that you shouldn't care what other people think and trust me I know it's easier said then done but you and Summer really would be a cute couple" I smile.

" Well Lets just see where it goes" Riley smiles as he puts his hair behind his ears.

" So you like Joey"? He asks.
" I'm... not sure" I shrug.
" Just letting you know, Joey is pussy when it comes to feelings so don't totally give up" Riley gently smiles.

" Thanks Riley" I breath in as I stand up and go lay down near Summer.

" Night" I say.
" Nighttt" Riley laughs in a weird as voice.

But yet again I got completely no sleep. I just can't stop thinking what a complete idiot i was to blurt my feelings out like that. Im an idiot and I know it and Sadly so does Joey..
