Emily's P.O.V
I woke up with a pain in my feet. I try to sit up but my body aches. The memories from last night are still a blur but the feelings are still clear as day. I turn to see the clock, it's 12am. Tomorrow I will be at work and so will Harry. I'm glad it's his last day so I won't have to face him anymore. He has hurt me too many times and I have forgiven him every single time... Which is too many times. I have managed to collect some of the pieces of my broken heart and fixed it together. I leave my comforting bed to do something with my life. Sulking and crying over a boy will get me no-where. I get dressed into something comfy for the day and grab my phone.
I had left my only good pair of shoes at his house and I will not ask for it back. I realised that I am still in Harry's shirt. I will keep it. So I can be reminded with all the hurtful things someone could do. I slip on a pair of my old lace up plimsoll and drag myself down the stairs. I'm not gonna let this get to me. You're stronger than this Emily, I know you are. I confidently walk down the stairs to meet the kids having Lunch.
"Morning." I beam. Hopefully this smile will coverup the broken side of me.
"Good morning, love." She speaks in her yawn. The steps I take are still painful even with my shoes.
"Kayla, can I have money for a new pair of shoes?" I ask. She nods lightly.
"Okay, I wouldn't want you doing something stupid." She laughs. Is she referring to me sneaking out?
"Alright I need about £30." I ask politely. She just nods again.
"Ask Charlie, he is holding the money." She finally speaks. I need to get a good pair that will last me a long time. I haven't got any money on me right now and I desperately need a new pair of shoes. I might just get 3 pairs of plimsolls instead of one pair that will last me a while.
I quickly go and find Charlie.
"Charlie?" I walk into the living room. He was playing around with the younger kids.
"Yeah." He struggled to talk with all the kids attacking him like a piñata.
"Can I borrow £30 to buy new shoes?" I beg. "Kayla said it's okay." I add quickly.
"Alright. Money's in the Money Jar. " He groans as one of the kids hit him in the stomach with a stick. We don't really use money from the money jar. We only use it when we really need it, I guess they really don't want me to do something stupid to get this money. I feel like their trust for me has lowered about 80%. I was so stupid to sneak out just for Harry. I just hope it would've ended differently. But what was I expecting? For him to instantly fall in love with me? To pour out his feelings and finding out he loved me this whole time? No, of course not. That stuff only happens if fairy tales. He would obviously stick with the beautiful, popular, skinny girl. I am nothing compared to her.
I meet Kayla in the kitchen and tell her I can get the money from the money jar. She just nods lightly again. It's like she just doesn't want to talk to me at all. She has been pissed off at me before but she would never not talk to me. I grab a few notes from the jar at the top shelf.
"Okay then, I will be going to Aria's." I trail off as I reach the door. She just nods lightly like she did with most of the replies she gives me. I reach for my phone in my pocket to call Aria. She picks up almost immediately.
"Hey Emily." She smiles.
"Hey, can I come over? I need to go and buy a new pair of shoes and I thought you light wanna come." I explain.
"Uhh... Yeah if you don't mind my brother tagging along." She answers, unsure of my what I would say. Flashbacks of what he had said to me play in my mind. He said he wanted to get to know me yesterday.
"Yeah, I don't mind." I smile even though she can't see me. I stayed on the phone with her until I reached her house. I've been handling this misery quite well. I don't even show myself the pain even though I can feel it. It's unbearable. I still can't believe that he chose her over me even though it was obvious he would. Anyone in their right mind would. For a second in my life I thought out friendship was going somewhere. Somewhere I was longing it to be. In a relationship. But no, life just had to screw it up for me. Did he actually mean the promise? That he won't talk to me again? If so then so be it. I don't need people like him I my life.
I knock on the door and waited for someone to open. Tyler was the first one at the door. He looked no different then he did yesterday besides that his shirt was black also and he didn't have his leather jacket. His tattoos sleeved his arms giving him an unpleasant resemblance all together. If I didn't know him I would stay away from him with that appearance.
"Hey." His mouth twitched.
"Hi." I smile as I walk past him. I'm not really bothered about him right now. I scan the room for Aria but she isn't there.
"Where is Aria?" I ask sheepishly. He shrugged for his answer.
"She's probably getting ready." He shrugs again making his way over to me. I sit on the couch waiting for her arrival. To be honest, I don't know really what to say to Tyler.
"Why aren't you talking to me?" He asks sitting next me making me sink into the middle of the couch.
"There isn't much to talk about." I shrug. He didn't reply as he stretched an arm behind the couch. His facial features were perfect. His I drawn cheek bones, His full pink lips, His messy black hair. This is good and bad. Good I'm getting over Harry already... Bad that I'm forgetting about him about thinking of Aria's brother. It wasn't soon when we were joined by Aria.
"What's going on." She asks quickly. I smile at her.
"Nothing, not even communication." I laugh as I get up to greet her with a hug. We spend time hugging like I haven't seen her in ages even though I met her yesterday.
"I need to tell you something." I whisper in her ear.
"What is it?" She whispers back.
"I can't tell you now, your brother is here." I complain.
"You said you didn't mind." She pulls away to look a me.
"I don't I just need to talk to you." I furrow my eyebrows. She nods and we walk out the door, Tyler following shortly behind.
