Forbidden Love

Chapter 4

Slowly my eyes began to open but I couldn't make out what I was seeing. All I could see were a few blurry figures. Two walking around me and one sitting next to me. I blinked a few more times to try and clear my vision and it worked. I lifted my head slightly only to feel a sharp pain rip through my forehead causing me to lay back in my original position.

"Hey sweety how are you feeling?" I looked over to see my mum and dad had been the figures that were pacing the room.

"Okay I guess, what happened?" I couldn't remember anything apart from getting ready for the party with Shay.

"Um, look why don't we talk about that later?" I looked to my side for the first time and saw a worried Matt sitting next to me holding my hand.

"Matt how was the party?" I tried to smile and move my head to the side but even the slightest movement caused the pain to return.

"We will talk about it later," He held my hand tighter while rubbing his thumb along the outside in a swirling motion to try and soothe me. Why was Matt holding my hand? In fact, why is he here at all? I wish I could remember last night!

After my parents finally left the room Matt started to explain all about the drama last night.

"She slapped me!" I yelled, "Why the heck did she do that? Is that how I hurt my head?"

"Yeah, she slapped you and as you fell you hit your head on the sink,"

"Why were we in the bathroom?" I was really confused now.

"Um, well we kinda, you know, hooked up?" That shut me up.

"And she caught us? Wow she must have been furious," I felt my stomach begin to swirl and whatever food I had left in it was begininning to make its way up.

"I know you won't remember this but Shay was um in a room with Josh Carter you know, yeah," He muttered.

"Oh so we hooked up because you wanted to get over Shay," I started to slide my hand away from his feeling a huge sense of betrayal.

"No no no Tayla we talked about this last night too before Shay came in, and I told you that I have always wanted you even before Shay," He carressed my cheek and the memories came flooding back.

"Hey I remember! Some of my memory must be coming back!" I smiled at what I was seeing. Matt and I pressed together, the feeling of his touch and his lips on mine felt real. "So I wonder what is going to happen with  me and Shay?"

"I don't know Tay but it's not up to you to make this right, she is the one who hurt you," Matt tried to explain but I felt so guilty. I had kissed her ex boyfriend. Yes she had been having sex with Josh but it didn't give me a right to do what I did, especially so close to their breakup.

"I think I am going to give her a call, wheres my phone?" Matt handed me my phone and I click on Shays number.

RING RING, RING RING... "Hi," Shay sounded as if she had just woken up even though it was almost lunchtime.

"Shay, it's me Tayla," I said meekly.

"Oh you. What makes you think I want to talk to you," She mustn't have looked at the caller ID otherwise I don't think she would have taken this call.

"Look I don't want to fight I just rang to apologize. I am so sorry for what I did and I don't want to ruin our friendship. You're my best friend," I pleaded.

"Ha! Is that what you call it? A Best Friend? Sorry Tayla but a best friend doesn't do what you did to me last night. All I have to say to you is... BITCH!" Then the line went dead. I slowly took the phone away from my ear and felt a tear slip down my cheek. How could she be so immature about this?
