The day I butt-dialled bars and melody

7. Y'know...I kissed your best friend

Naomi's P.O.V

"Charlie, wait!" I call as he walks away, Teri by his side.

"What do you want?" he asks, turning around.

"You said, you told me that..."

"Whatever I said, it was a lie. Why would I want you? I have Teri now."

I wake up with sweat down my back, the dream-Charlie's words still echoing in my head. I pull on slippers and creep downstairs and outside, sitting on a bench at the bottom of the garden. I close my eyes, analyzing my dream.

It isn't a hard dream to interpret, of course. Dreams are reflections of your thoughts and feeling, so this one was always going to happen.

I sense someone sitting next to me.

"Hey," Charlie says softly.

I ignore him.

"Are you still mad at me?" he asks. I take a deep breath.

"No. Why would I be mad?" I say.

"Y'know...I kissed your best friend," he replies.

"It's not you," I tell him. "It's the you in my dream." Did I just say that out loud?

"What does the dream me do?" he asks, grinning.

"He says he doesn't want me because he has Teri," I tell him.

"Ah. Well, I wouldn't listen to him. He can be very stupid, that dream-Charlie."

I smile, and he embraces me in a hug.

"Friends?" he asks.

"Friends."

Leo's P.O.V

I wake up early, and Charlie and Naomi are not in the room. I look out of the window and they are hugging at the bottom of the garden. It is getting really difficult to stand by and let him do that. He will break her heart, and she deserves much better.

I do have feelings for her, but she wants Charlie. Not me. Why not me? It's not fair. He kissed her best friend, for God's sake. She is never gonna notice me, not with him around. So what if she is older? Age is just a number, right? Why not me? Why him?

I like her, a lot. I have had crushes before, but none like this. I really really like her, yet she wants Charlie. Of course she wants Charlie. Who wouldn't?

She is not going to notice me, and that hurts. That hurts a lot.

Teri's P.O.V

I look into the glass and see my ugly reflection staring back at me. 'Teri Nichols. What have you done.' I go into the bathroom and step onto the white scales. I feel them sink under my weight. I look down at the number that will determine whether I eat or not for the next day.

In short, I don't like the number. My eyes prick with tears and I step of the scales. The red arrow pings loudly and starts spazzing out.

I go back into my bedroom and belly flop onto my bed which creaks depressingly, sobbing loudly. 'Why would he want you, over beautiful, beautiful Naomi? You're just a fat, ugly, worthless cow'

"Teri, dinner!" my mum calls. I flinch.

"No thanks, mum." I reply. "I ordered in a pizza when you were at work." Lies, all lies.

"Are you sure?" she asks.

"Yes, mum, I couldn't eat another thing."

I crave food so badly. I'd forgotten how hard this is at the start. It does get easier. My hunger goes every time I look in the mirror, and realize I have a serious motive.
