Emily's P.O.V
"Hey babe." She smirks as the bubble she has created from her bubblegum bursts. What does Harry see in her?
"Hey sweetheart." He makes his way over to her. That's what he calls me. Their lips attach and don't leave for what seems like hours.
"Where are you going?" She asks draping in his toned arms. She really needs to get another Boy-Toy to mess with cause Harry doesn't deserve this heartbreak.
"Just somewhere, wanna come?" He asks pressing their lips together again.
"Of course Babe." Her high tone pressed against my ears. We didn't agree too this. We continued walking the rest of the way. Harry walked infront of me and Aria. His arms on her waist as he whispered things In her ear. That should be me. I don't know what jealousy feels like, Im just happy that I'm alive but this... This feeling makes me want to cease to exist.
"Are you okay?" Aria's soft words attempted to whisper in my ear. I nodded timidly, afraid if I speak my voice will give away my resentment. We walk the rest of the way there in silence besides the soft whispers from Harry and Layla. The walk wasn't that long but it felt like hours. We entered the centre of town, the raucous noise booming. Street performers danced around on the roads. Booths lined up neatly besides each other well as the shops.
"Let's go to the Shopping Centre." Aria drags. I shrug and follow her to the large building. I look around to see if Harry was following but he was nowhere in sight. Argh. It's not like Harry to ditch his friends. Especially his bestfriend. Doesn't he remember that we only have 2 days to hang out? After he quits his job we will probably never see each other. We don't have the same classes besides English but they are different periods so yeah, just saying. We wondered sheepishly around the centre as I had no money with me. Aria on the other hand has spent more than I earn in 5 months. Aria is from a rich background but she will never on her grave admit it. She isn't vain or stuck up like that, she likes to work to show her independence.
"Hold this bag for me." Aria mumbles shoving a shopping bag in my face. I kindly hold it for her as she holds her iPhone to her ear.
"Yes, Pick us up at 5 sharp at the shopping centre." She softly speaks into the phone. It was probably her older brother on the other line. I glance at the big clock on the wall, 4:47. I need to be home at 6. I have plenty of time to hatch a plan for tonight. I don't know how I'm going to sneak out though, I haven't really thought this through. Now thinking about it, I'm second guessing this whole monstrous idea. It's not me to sneak out just for a boy who happens to also be my bestfriend. But why bother if I'm just a second option for him... sometimes even a third. I'm sick of being his shoulder to lean on. But... It's Harry. The guy who is charming, funny and handsome. For Harry I will do it but I will need to pick out the details tonight or I might get caught. Like, what if Kayla walks into my room and I'm hot there?How will I get home tomorrow? How extreme will my consequences be? I will have to think about this later. I was dragged out of my thought when Aria took the bag from me.
"Are you okay? You haven't spoken the entire time we were here." Her face demanded an explanation. If I'm able to dodge the question now I know she will just bring it up in the most uncomfortable time.
"I'm just thinking, is that so wrong?" My words came out a bit harsher than intended. She didn't reply and walked into another shop. The shop was full of designer clothes that cost more than I thought was possible for a thin piece of fabric. Aria didn't seem to mind the price tag and laid various different items over her arm. She picked out a couple more dresses before she purchased them. We left the Shopping Centre at 4:55 to meet Arias brother at the parking lot. She has never introduced me to him nor talked about him regularly. Curiosity waved over me, I really want to know what he looks like. I want to get to know him, maybe he has the same personality as Aria. I wonder why I've never seen him before, The times I have been to Aria's house are countless but never once have I seen a trace of him. He doesn't have a bedroom in her house not even photographs of this mystery man. We reached the parking lot and we stop at a midnight black Lamborghini. She knocked on the tinted window. Soon after a tall boy exited the car. His appearance was not what I expected at all;His hair was dark and messy, his shirt was plain white coated with a leather jacket, His black jeans only just hung onto his hips revealing his back boxers.
"Get in the car." He spoke before picking out a cigarette and lighting it. He looked much older than Aria and I, maybe about 19? His voice was deep and blunt. This is not at all what I expected. I watched as he held the cigarette in between his lips dragging in a puff of smoke. He exhaled the smoke, intoxicating my lungs.
"Nice to see you too.." She mumbled sitting in the passengers seat. I copied her moves and sat in the back. I feel so out of place. Soon after 'he' join us us in the car.
"Aria, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" His spoke over the loud roar of the engine. His voice was smooth and his accent was stronger than I'm use to hearing. Music blasted through the radio making my ears hurt. Aria turned it down and it was not the best background music.
"Emily this is Tyler... Tyler this is Emily." she dragged. He chucked a bit.
"Emily is such a unique name." He pulled out the parking lot. We raced across the road the wind forcing me to sit back.
"Not really, it's quite common." I was confused, Emily is a usual name for a girl.
"I was being sarcastic." He looked at me through the rear view mirror. I feel myself flush with embarrassment. I look back at his chocolate brown eyes that twinkled. The similarities to his and Harry's eyes are not exact but they twinkle the exact same way.
