While we were hanging out in Starbucks a girl came up to Jc and they started chatting, leaving me out of the conversation until the girl said this:
"So, this is the girl you're babysitting?"
"Actually, I'm currently living with Jc, Ricky, Kian and Connor," I said.
"She's Connor's cousin," Jc said. "We've been hanging out."
"Oh...she doesn't seem your type, Jc," The girl said.
"Oh, we're not going out or anything..." Jc said, that was a stab in the heart to me, I thought that it would have been at least an option.
"Well...am I your type?" The girl asked.
"What do you mean, Rosa?" Jc asked.
"Do you wanna go out?" As soon as she said it, my whole world felt like it was collapsing around me. I went into the bathroom, into a stall and cried. I guess I was under the impression that me and Jc would have a chance of being together but Rosa had gotten her claws into him first. I wondered what I was going to do I should just act normal, not think anything of it I thought to myself. I wiped my eyes but they were still red, I went out of the bathroom anyway. I looked at Jc at our table, he was busy snogging Rosa to notice me though. I walked straight out and walked down the road to nandos, I stopped outside and dialed Connor's number.
"Hello?" He said at the other end, I didn't know what to say, I was breaking down, right there, in front of nandos. I started crying on the phone. "Holly? What's wrong? Where are you?"
"It's Jc, you were right, Jc should stay away from me, I don't want to hang out with him anymore, can you come get me? I'm outside nandos."
"Sure, I'll be right there," Connor said and he hung up.
When I got back I went into my room and sat on my bed, I started listening to music and reading the Hunger Games. I stayed in my bedroom until I finished the book, I opened my door and heard arguing, I listened to hear what it was about.
"She's my cousin! She called me and she broke down in tears!"
"I didn't mean to hurt her! I don't even know what I did!" Jc yelled.
"Dude, it isn't right to make a girl cry," Kian said. "She was really upset about something."
"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't talk about me behind my back," I said, I couldn't bring myself to look at anyone.
"Holly, are you alright?" Ricky asked.
"I'm fine," I said, Jc walked over to me and tried to take my hand, I pulled it away. "I don't want you coming near me ever again."
"Holly, what did I do?" He asked, I didn't know what to say, I thought about what I saw, he didn't care if I saw him and Rosa and anger rose up inside of me.
"You snogged Rosa and didn't care about me, I walked straight past you, did you notice? No, because you were too busy with your girlfriend."
"That's what this is about, you're jealous?" I couldn't take it, I slapped him.
"YES, I'M FUCKING JEALOUS!" I went back into my room and slammed the door. I was a bit hard on Jc but he was so insensitive, he didn't realize how I felt about him, it was so obvious, I thought the way I acted would have made it clear. I lay down on my bed and eventually drifted away to sleep.
