Teagan

I woke up the next morning, looking around and yawning to see Cj still asleep. I got up, going into the bathroom and brushing my teeth. I put my hair in a dutch braid, before checking on Cj again.

She was knocked out, snoring and drooling. Typical Cj. I chuckled, slipping on my shoes and walking downstairs.

I walked into the breakfast room, to only see Meala, Hayes, Johnson, Dillon, & Matthew. Johnson, Dillon, and Hayes were talking while Meala was just staring at Hayes in awe.

Matthew? Matthew just looked... Terrible.

He was staring down at his plate, with his face tear stained. It hurt me to see him like this. It really did. Even though it was my fault.

I sighed, walking over and sitting in the very corner of the table.

Everyone's voice dialed diwn and they all turned to me. "Hey, Tee." Dillon said softly.

I gave him a week smile in return, glancing at Matthew who was just staring at me. "Take a picture, it lasts longer." I remarked, crossing my arms and raising my eye brows, turning to my nice, cozy, corner. Soon, I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder lightly, causing me to roll my eyes. "Matthew just sto-." I turned to see Hayes putting his hands up in defense.

"Just me, lawd." He chuckled.

"Shit, sorry Pooh bear." I laughed lightly, causing him to smile and hug me. I held in a deep breathe, hugging him back tightly. I closed my eyes for a second, enjoying his embrace. When I opened my eyes back, I saw Meala just staring at us. "Maybe we should stop hugging. Your girlfriend is staring at us like a psycho." I chuckled, pulling back.

Hayes rolled his eyes, looking at her, than back to me. "My best bitch always comes first. Come on now, girl." He said in a feminine voice, making me giggle. He winked at me, before going back to Meala. Forget what Hayes said, that girl got my boy on a leash.

Soon enough, everyone came downstairs. Cj sat down next to me, and Cameron slid in front of me.

"How you holding up, honey bun?" Cj asked, Cameron nodded, waiting for my response.

"I-I'm fine." I stammered out. Damn, I'm a bad liar.

Cameron rolled his eyes. "Teagan, how long have me and Cj known you for? It's all fine to not be fine, Tee." He sighed.

"Exactly... It's okay, Teagan. We've all been down this road, and we're here for you." Cj smiled, taking a bite of her Rice Krispy Treat.

I smiled at them. "Yeah, what they said!" Lyla came over, sitting on me and wrapping her arms around my neck. "We love you, kid." She grinned cheesily. Olivia and Chanley stood behind me, nodding, agreeing.

"I love you guys." I continued to grin at them. My eyes flickered to Matthew, who Carter, Johnson, Aaron, Gilinsky, and Dillon were talking to.

I couldn't ask for better people in my life.

Madison murmured something under her breathe, making Meala nod, rolling her eyes. I don't know what she said, but I sure as hell heard my name.

"What's that you said, Mad?" Gilinsky looked down at Madison. Who shook her head, crossing her arms. "Mad..." He sighed.

I watched Madison, along with everyone else. "Want to know what I said? I said It's always about Teagan! And everyone knows it's true, we all go through things, and she's always the center of attention! Like shit." She slammed her hands on the table.

(maybe because this book is about teagan sweetie.)

"Oh, come the fuck on. If you were truly apart of this group, you'd know that we all talk about our problems." Chanley chuckled bitterly.
