 When Joey and I woke up from our mini nap I helped him pack his stuff and we both got dressed, Charles must've came back while we were sleeping to get his things because they were all gone. Instead of wearing my clothes that I came in I just slipped on one of joeys hoodies. He didn't mind. "I officially love your clothes" I wrapped my arms across my chest. "They look good on you" he laughed while grabbing a shirt from off the floor

Joeys P.O.V

 We left vidcon and since there wasn't school until the next week  Loren, Ariel, Mark, Blake, Hunter, and us met up at Chars house to go swimming.

 "Guys is it okay if I invite my boy Aaron?" Charles walked outside where everyone was sitting in their bathing suits.  "Yeah sure, Aaron's cool" I spoke up before anyone could answer. "I never met him" Julia shrugged. "He's on his way right now" Char said typing on his phone. We nodded and started to  get ready to swim.

Julia's POV

Loren was the first to jump in, then everyone else. I stood by the edge and dipped my toes in. "Its too cold!" I whined. "Get in Ju!" Loren giggled while splashing hunter. "You never thought to heat the pool!?" I playfully yelled at Charles. He rolled his eyes and ran over to me. My first instinct was to run but he grabbed me and put me over his shoulder before I could. "Joey save me!" I couldn't feel my stomach from how much I was laughing. Without any warning he threw me into the icy cold pool.

"Son of a-" i got caught off by him jumping in and splashing water into my face. "two can play at that game" I started splashing him with water.  Charles and I were actually getting along. My first impression on him was completely wrong. Now we were acting like normal friends, just how it should've been from the start. "Can I join?" I felt joeys arms wrap gently around my waist, my skin tingling from his touch. Without hesitation I turned around and rested my arms on his shoulders. 

"Get a room!" Charles yelled teasingly. 

I completely ignored him and kissed joey passionately. I could already feel everyones eyes on us.

'OOOOOOOO'

'WOOT WOOOOTT'

'GET SOME'

The pool gate flung open suddenly, Joey and I pulled away from our mini makeout session. In walked a short guy with black floppy hair and a intensely sharp jawline, I figured it was Aaron. Then from behind him came a very familiar face. A lump formed in my throat.

"Bailey?" I said through grited teeth.

"Julia? Long time no see babes!" she smiled fakely while she chewed obnoxiously on her bubble gum.

"what are you doing here?" I crossed my arms.

"You guys know each other?" Aaron raised an eyebrow.

"Something like that" she blew a bubble and shrugged taking off her cover-up to tan.

"She's his girlfriend" Charles spoke up.

"Since when?" I managed to keep my cool.

"since forever, god, Julia you should really stop living under a rock" Bailey snapped while tossing her gum into a bush.

"listen here blondie, i know what you're trying to do and its not going to work" I socked it to her and stormed off into the house. That girl knew how to piss me off. I didn't mean to snap like that in front of my friends but someone needed to put her in her place. 

--------

After I dried off I changed back into my clothes and sat on the couch. I'd been in the house for thirty minutes and no one even popped in to check on me, not even joey. I contemplated on just going back out there and playing it off like nothing happened but chickened out. 

"Julia?" Charles's voice sounded from behind me. I turned around and sighed.

"You can come in, I won't bite" 

He nodded and sat down next to me. There was complete silence until we both started talking at the same time

 "You go first" I laughed.

"What happened out there?" he fiddled with his fingers.

"I wish she would just go home... never mind forget I even said anything" I got up to leave but he grabbed my hand.

"Stay...I'll listen to you"

I sat back down slowly and nodded. "This is totally off topic but, thank you for not telling Joey about the kiss" 

"What kiss?" Joey walked in from the pool.

shit shit shit. I glanced down to see I was still holding Charles's hand, I quickly let go and stood up. 

"Bro I- I can explain" Charles rubbed his temples and mouthed 'shit'

"Wait- what? what the fuck did you guys do?" Joeys voice raised louder. 

"Joey..." I tried to hug him but he took my arms off him and looked me in the eyes.

"what did you do? you cheated on me?" his eyes were full of anger and when I didn't answer him his eyes locked onto Charles for an answer.

"it was only one time-" charles tried his best to spit out the truth.

"Bro, you're so dead.. you're so dead!" joey lashed out on him and before I could do a single thing Charles was on the floor. 

"Joey! stop! you're hurting him!!" I yelled. The rest of the squad came flooding into the room from the pool. It took hunter and blake to pry him off of Charles.

I couldn't hold back my tears and they came streaming down my face. Loren hugged me and took me away from the scene I had caused. It was all my fault.
