Four Years

Chapter 16 The First Half

"Um..." I say. Shit, what do I say? Stupid Ian, he had one job, one bloody job. I glare at Ian and mouths I'm sorry. "Well......" Shauna says annoyed with her arms crossed over her chest dragging me out of my thoughts. Everyone is looking at me. "Um..." I say again as I draw a blank. Shauna asks, "Is um all you can say?" I scratch the back of my neck and give Shauna a nervous smile. I say, "Um... funny story." Katie says, "These oughta be good."

I sigh and run my hand through my hair. I say, "We should all go inside." Shauna and her friends walk in. Natasha and her friends walk in. I look at Ian and point my finger at him. "Don't even say it" I say. Ian puts his handover his heart and pretends to be hurt. "I am offended that you think that little of me" he says. "Whatever" I say. Ian laughs and says, "Told you so." I smack him upside the head. "Ow" Ian says, "That was totally uncalled for." "I told you so" I say mocking him. He sticks his tongue out at me. I say, "Rude." Ian laughs and walk in.

I smile and shake my head. I walk in and close the door behind me. I walk into the living room to see the only seat available is next to Natasha. I see Ian sitting next to Shauna. I glare at him. He just smiles and winks at me. I roll my eyes and sit next to Natasha. "Where to begin" I say. Shauna says, "How about you start with how you know them."

"To put it in a nutshell" I say, "I meet Natasha four years at that bar we went to. We had what people would say was a summer fling. Once summer ended, we went our separate ways. We didn't see or speak to each until we meet at the bar again. I freaked out and ran home. Natasha first introduced me to Elise when me and the family went to walk Hollywood. I meet the rest of her friends when we went to the beach a few weeks later."

Shauna says, "That's explains why you have been out of it lately. On a more serious note why am I just hearing about this?" Elise speaks up and says, "So how do you know them Harley." I reply, "A year after I graduated high school, me and Ian moved out here. A few months after that I met Shauna and a few months after that we became official. I met her group of friends a few weeks after we met."

Shauna asks, "So what were you and Natasha fighting about?" I take a deep breath and say, "After me and Natasha went our separate ways, we stayed in touch. On my birthday Natasha sent me a video and text. The text basically said that she played with my feelings and was straight. The video was of her and friends mocking and making fun of me. All she said was sorry and won't own up to the video and text she sent me as a birthday present."

Natasha and her friends are looking between each other. Antonio says, "We were just having fun talking about Natasha's last ex-boyfriend." Annabel says, "That wasn't supposed to be recorded." "Much less sent to you Harley" says Stacy. "You truly made Natasha happy and we were happy when you finally asked Natasha to be your girlfriend" says Mark. Katie says, "I'm betting someone recorded it and sent it to you on purpose." Elise says, "Oh my god Natasha, that break up text never came from Harley." "I guess I should tell me half of the story" says Natasha.
