Tahlia's p.o.v

" Stop. Tahlia look at me, you did nothing wrong okay"? Summer reassures me as my heart beats faster every minute.

" Tahlia, he probably just jumped to conclusions" Dylan shakes his head.

" I should talk to him..." I sigh.

" He's a jerk Tahlia"! Summer shakes her head.

" No... Summer. I'm the jerk" I shake my head.

" Don't say that Tahlia"! Dylan huffs as he shakes his head.

" I need to talk to him okay"? I sigh as they both nod.

" Can..can you guys come"? I sigh as they both agree and we grab an umbrella and walk to Riley's house.

" Riles" Summer shouts as he answers from his room.

" Joey's upstairs" Riley says as Summer walks into Riley's room and I look at Dylan.

" Go on" He gently smiles as he nods.

" I'll be right here" He nods as I walk upstairs and down the hall to the spare room. I quietly knock on the door.

" Yeah.." Joey quietly says as I slowly open the door and shut it behind me. 

" I didn't mean to run off like that" Joey shakes his head as he sits up from his laying position on his freshly made bed. I slowly walk over and sit next to him.

" Don't do that" He quietly says as he looks over at me as I bite my nails.

" It will hurt you" He says again.
" Just. like. me..." He trails off.

" Joey stop" I shake my head as I face him.

" Tahlia I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain I ever caused you. And it's okay if you want to leave because it will save you a lot of time. I'm a dick an-" I cut him off as I can tell by the tears threatening to leave his eyes that he was close to breaking down.

" Joey..." I whisper as I grab onto both his hands.

" It's okay" I nod as he gently smiles as a small tear dribbles down his cheek. I slowly sit closer to him as I wrap my arms around him and rest my head on his back.

" I would never cheat on you" I whisper as his breathing calms down.

" i know, It's just I thought cause it was Dylan and..." He trails off.

" Me and Dylan are best friends. I'm going to hang out with him, but we want different things and we are dating different people" I sigh as Joey slowly nods.

I gently kiss his neck leaving trails across his jawline and neck.

" S-stop" Joey quietly breathes in.

" Okay" I chuckle as he looks back at me.

" Well for now at least" He smirks as I shake my head walking downstairs.

" How'd it go"? Dylan smiles.

" Good.. thank you" I hug him as he nods.

" Okay well, I have to go but we should hang out soon" Dylan laughs as he scruffs my hair up before leaving.

" Look, about before I really am sorry" Summer shakes her head as she hugs me.

" Summer, it's fine I promise" I gently smile as Joey walks down the stairs.

" Ew Joey are those hickies"?! Riley asks looking at Joey's neck.

" Nah there from afl" Joey shrugs as he winks at me walking into the kitchen.
