The Love Game

Chapter 5: Vivianna

"Vivianna, Vivianna." Taylor put his hands on my shoulders.

"No, you get away from me." I said.

"Why." I removed his hands from my shoulders. "Why are you upset."

"I'm just hurt." she wiped her eyes.

"Because I was hanging around with Juliet?" he asked.

I nodded my head and laughed. "For some stupid reason I thought you still liked me, I know you are upset that I have been with Dillon but I'm over that now. I'm done. I wanted us to happen, I wanted to be with you and for some stupid reason I thought that it could work."

"It can." Taylor lifted up his head. "It can."

"But first you're going to have to tell Juliet." I said.

"Juliet and I aren't.." Taylor started.

"It really looked to me like you were." I snapped and walked back to my room.

"I'm sorry I was trying to help." Blake said as she closed the door behind her.

"Yeah, well it just got worse." I laid back in bed.

"I'm so sorry." Blake said.

"It's fine." I said quietly.

I couldn't fall asleep. I sat up and looked at the clock on the nightstand, the green numbers were blurred by the tears in my eyes. 2:56 A.M. I was so tired but so restless, every time I tried to fall asleep I didn't feel comfortable, I didn't feel right. I've had the nights where I tried closing my eyes but every ten minutes they would pop open and I'd go to a new sleeping position. I've had the nights where I slept only in one hour sections, but I never had a deep sleep. I've never had a night where I not only couldn't sleep, but I didn't want to sleep.

I woke up at eleven in the morning next to Blake. I turned over to my nightstand and grabbed my phone and scrolled through Instagram. Finally I got up and put on my bathing suit and a sundress. I applied my concealer, brushed my teeth and hair, then put it in a ponytail.

"Hey." Juliet sat the table with Chris.

"Hey." I said.

"Your eyes are all puffy. Are you okay?" Juliet asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I poured a cup of orange juice and sat down.

"You look like you've been crying." Juliet glared at Chris.

"Please, you can say if something's wrong. Although I think I know what is." She looked down.

"Should I leave or?" Chris asked.

"Get out." Juliet laughed. "I thought Taylor liked me but I know now he doesn't. I know now that he's nothing but in love with you. I'm so sorry, I don't know what happened to him last night and I should've known better than to fall for him."

"This is not your fault Juliet. This is Taylor's fault and I'm having a hard time forgiving him for this." I said.

"I can talk to him? Maybe that would be better?"

"I already tried, he's just mad that I've been hanging around Dillon so much. Who said Taylor was in charge of my life?"

"He just really cares about you. Trust me, I think Taylor is a much better choice than Dillon."

"You think?" I asked.

"Dillon doesn't seem trustworthy to be honest."

"Oh." I had heard that phrase WAY too many times.
