take one step at a time, there's no need to rush. (a Cody Simpson fanfiction)

Part 3

I know im stereotyping but its even worse with stars. They're cads arent they? They break girls hearts countless times, just because they can. The thought of that just made me flare up. I sighed, thinking of the bad day today. I know im being mean, treating Cody like that before getting to know him, but I couldnt risk getting hurt again. Not again. Especially when Cody was so much like John, his eyes, his...WAIT! What am i thinking? Im supposed to hate him! I shrugged the earlier good thoughts off and they were immediately replaced with ones full of hate. That dark side of me, the one everyone couldnt see through to the happy me. I couldnt get away with faking smiles at my best friend, she could see through them. Instead, I could pour out my thoughts to her. The moment we met, I felt an instant connection. We were linked somehow and we just got to know each other, becoming BFFs in no time.

I plucked up my composure and dialed my best friends number. "Hello?" "Oh hey Val!' she cheerily replied. But after a few seconds of silence, that incredible mind of her's worked its magic. She sighed. "What happened Val?" she asked and  could hear concern choking up in her throat. "Do you mind coming over for a bit? I.." Before I could finish, she mumbled something anout 10 minutes and i was up and about, scurrying around my apartment, cleaning up here and there. It was barely nine minutes when the doorbell rang. She walked in calmly and sat next to me on the sofa. We started talking. 

I told her roughly about what had happened earlier that evening. She was nowhere in sight when it happened. I slouched back and closed my eyes, listening to her comforting voice. I was going to listen to her, no matter what she said. I quickly regretted promising that as i heard her opinion. "Val, i know its hard but u have to stop judging guys ust because of what Joh..i mean he did to you. U've gotta live life to its fullest. And im sure u know what im implying." I knew exactly what she meant. I nodded reluctantly. But i was going to test them first. The first subject: Cody. I was determined to prove to my BFF that my theory was true; all guys 'viewed' by Valerie Somerhalder were cads, that i had horrible taste for picking cheating guys to fall for. I wasnt going to go down without a fight. They could bring it on.
