Tahlia's p.o.v
" I cant wait to get my hands on your body baby" He smirks into the phone.
He was on the phone to Portia... fucking Portia. It could've been anyone just not Portia. She's the dumbest blonde you'll ever meet and I'm sorry but it's the truth. In class she asked if Potatoes had seeds in them...
" Okay I'll see you then, bye" Joey smiles before hanging up the phone.
I slowly walk up to where he is and sit down on the couch pretending not to hear anything that was just said.
" Was it Riley and Summer"? Joey laughs.
" Uhh yeah" I shrug as I yank the blanket over me and slowly shut my eyes.
I couldn't have been more pissed but I also couldn't blame him.
---------------------------------------------
I slowly wake up to see Summer and Riley out on the deck and Tayla and Ryan sitting near the pool. I roll over and check the time to see it's 11:43am. Shit I guess I slept in..
" Where's Joey"? I ask.
" He left, maybe 20 minutes ago. Said he had somewhere to be"? Riley shrugs as he goes back to talking to Summer.
Joey's probably in bed with Portia right now as we speak... ughhh.
" You okay"? Tayla asks me as she comes and sits next to me.
" Yeah I-I.. uhm I'm Fine thanks though" I smile at her.
I really wasn't fine but I knew what would happen if I told everyone my feelings. People will begin to call me insecure and then people call me depressed and then I won't even explain what happens after that.
" We're going to go to the beach today who wants to come"? Ryan smiles.
" Yessss me"! Summer smiles.
"Riley and Tahlia are you guys coming"? Tayla asks.
" I have AFL tomorrow since it's a public holiday and mum wants me to rest so i should probably stay here" Riley shrugs.
" Yeah I'm happy for you guys to go, but if you want you can come back here after" I smile as they all nod and begin to leave.
I watch as Summer gives Riley some sort of look as they all walk out the door.
After they have left Riley and I grab a packet of chips and sit out on the deck.
" So what's up with you and Summer"? I ask.
" Don't worry" Riley shrugs.
" No please, Summer she's going through a bit of a hard time right now so please tell me what's going on, I want to help" I sigh.
I look over to Riley to see the saddest Riley I had ever seen.
" I went to fast.. I don't even like her and she doesn't even like me and we literally just made out for the hell of it. We're best friends and we have already made out and it's all my fault, and i may have ruined it" Riley says as a few tears dribble down his cheeks.
" No Riley. I promise you. Summer will understand. She loves you as a best friend and so what you made out?! Who cares, no one needs to know anyway" I gently smile as I try and cheer him up.
" So what about you and Joey"? Riley sniffles.
" I like him.. alot but he doesn't like me and that's okay" I shrug.
" He probably does like you he just doesn't want to tell you" Riley sighs.
" Yeah no trust me" I shake my head.
" So you think me and Summer should just be friends"? Riley asks.
" I think whatever makes both of you happy is best" I nod.
" Thank you Tahlia" Riley gently smiles.
7 WEEKS LATER.
It's been 7 weeks since Joey spoke to me.. yeah 7 weeks. I have tried to text him on snapchat but he just leaves me on read. Riley and Summer are back to being best friends and they're more happier then ever. Tayla and Ryan have been named the 'cutest couple in the grade' everyone agrees to how good they are for each other.
As I walk into school I find Summer, Riley and Tayla at their first class. How lucky that they are all in the same class grr.
" Hey" I smile as I sit down next to Tayla.
" So what are we doing for the holidays"? Summer asks.
" Oh actually my parents are away for a whole 2 weeks"! Riley gasps.
" And it's Tahlia's Birthday on Friday of the first week of hols"! Tayla says.
" Oh my gosh best idea let's throw Tahlia a party at My house"! Riley gasps yet again.
" YES OMG BEST IDEA RILEY"! Summer claps.
" Oh guys it's fine really, I wasn't really thinking of having a party anyway" I shrug.
Summer then whispers something to Riley as he has an evil smile on his face.
" Sounds like a plan"! Riley laughs as Summer nods her head.
" So... is Joey here today"? I ask.
Yes. Joey. I still completely like him which actually sucks.
" Yeah he's over the- holy fuck" Riley's eyes widen as he stands up looking into the direction of Joey.
" What"? I ask as i slowly turn my head.
" Tahlia don't look"! Summer screeches as I completely turn my head.
My whole heart broke. I'm extra I know. But this... this really hurt.
Joey was leaning against the wall as Izabella and Him completely, full on make-out.
Every thing was in slow-motion. I promise, I may sound extra but this feeling felt like my whole heart was being ripped out by his bare hands.
" Tahlia are you ok"?! Summer slowly says as I can't translate a word she says.
" Tahlia"?! Tayla Worries as she gets up and begins to shake me. I knew what was happening. I was having an anxiety attack. Woah haven't had one of these since-well since Braith.
" Tahlia"?! Summer begins to worry as I blink a few times but my vision is still blurry.
Summer's p.o.v
I knew exactly what was happening. I've seen my sister do this before and it was when she was having an anxiety attack.
"Should I go get help"? Riley freaks.
" We need to get her away from here" I hurry as i pick her up and take her around the back of the building which is out of bounds but whoever made that rule can suck my dick.
Tahlia's p.o.v
It finally stopped. My heart beat slowed down and so did my breathing.
" I-I'm sorry" I shake my head.
" Fuck, Tahlia it's ok"! Riley shakes his head.
" We're just glad you're okay" Tayla sighs.
" Look Joey is a dick okay, you don't need him" Summer shakes her head.
I felt so weak. Physically and Mentally. I can't believe they all just saw me have an attack.
" No guys I'm okay. I swear" I nod my head standing up.
I was most definitely not okay. I still hadn't even processed the fact that Joey had gotten a Girlfriend..
